Story Iraq: Kurds and Arabs, Living Together

Once again, the sectarian lie promoted by the shit Zionist war Dailies is proved to be a lie.

Take a look at the old lady and the kids, please, by clicking on the link.


Kurds and Arabs Shelter Side by Side in Distrust and Misery by MICHAEL KAMBER

SULAIMANIYA, Iraq, Nov. 7 — On a barren, trash-strewn plain on the outskirts of this city, two groups — one poor and Kurdish, the other displaced and Arab — huddle side by side in distrust and suspicion.

They are united only in their misery, their fear of the coming winter and their envy of those thriving nearby in Sulaimaniya, the largest city in the Iraqi region of eastern Kurdistan.

The estimated 200 Kurds living in the tent city here say they find work one or two days a week as day laborers. A good day brings $10. Living in a tent with no running water keeps the overhead down.

Oh, yeah, Iraq is WAY BETTER since the asshole invaded the place.

What a fucking FAILURE BUSH IS!!!!!!!!!!


They move frequently, they said, and so their children — filthy, thin and barefoot — cannot attend school. A few have fled from the continuing violence in Kirkuk. Others, the locals said, are Qurag, the Kurdish word for Gypsy or Romany.

A Kurd, who gave his name only as Ramazan, gestured at the tents of the Arabs who had come here to escape the killing in Baghdad and Diyala in the south.

“We don’t like them — we have not forgotten Halabja and Anfal,” he said, speaking of Saddam Hussein’s murderous campaigns against Kurdish civilians.

“They get food and supplies for free from the government,” another man said. “A tanker comes to give water to Arabs. We have to pay.”

Other Kurds at the camp are more charitable, pointing out that the Arabs taught them to write their names in Arabic
over time. This gained them free rations too, until the government caught on and cut them off with a severe reprimand.

A hundred yards down the line of ragged tents, the Arabs are grouped together.

Degrees of squalor are difficult to gauge
, but they appear to be as poor as the Kurds. Some of their tents and blankets are marked U.N.H.C.R., after the initials of the United Nations refugee organization. Registered as internally displaced persons, they are entitled to meager rations, some bedding and a monthly allowance, they said.

Oh, yeah, Iraq is great. Living in SQUALOR!

Oh, yeah, this invasion really made Iraq better!


Hamza Muzahem, a community leader who arrived two months ago from the notoriously violent Baghdad neighborhood of Saydia, said he left his home after a letter with a bullet was slipped under his door. Mr. Muzahem needed no further warning; he had seen numerous Sunni neighbors slain by Shiite militias.

His story is perhaps the least dramatic here. A well-dressed woman, stepping carefully through the dust in high heels, casually told a visitor of how her husband, a translator for the American military, was killed after neighbors discovered his line of work.

A 4-year-old boy, Ali Al Jamoori Mohamed, lay on a tent floor to re-enact the killing of his mother and father in their home. He is being raised here by relatives.

A hollow-eyed 17-year-old, Khaled Mohamed Al Timini, recalled how his parents and two brothers were taken from their car and executed on the streets of Dora, another violent Baghdad neighborhood.

That same day, he said, he left his house and all his belongings behind and made his way to this camp. He said he could not concentrate, had stopped attending school and had found no work here.

Still, he is thankful. “It is safe here,” he said simply."

Yup, Bush really liberated Iraqis all right.

What a FUCKING ASSHOLE WAR CRIMINAL!!!!

IMPEACH, CONVICT and IMPRISON BUSH/CHENEY!!!!!!!!!!
