Honorable Member of Parliament South Africa (Azania), M. Pheko
Honorable Member of Parliament Zimbabwe, C. Chimutengwende
As the cutting edge in the US Congress, leading parliamentarian and vanguard Pan-Africanists in Southern Africa, and the African world generally, the three of you are prime example of principled Parliamentarians. It has long been the hope of many of us that you would take the lead in showing others in your position the proper way to respond to human needs across the globe. Greater collaboration between the principled parliamentarians such as yourself would be a definite plus for all of us.
Hence, I thought you would be the best leaders to properly present the opinion of the illegal War in the Middle East, as expressed by a true patriot of Iraq and true Arab supporter of the Palestine National Liberation Movement, comrade Ibrahim Ebeid ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). to our people and to others.
Please do all you can to support the people of Iraq; as their situation is in many respect a mirror reflection of our own and that of other oppressed peoples, such as the indigenous people of the Americas.
I thank you for your time, and close with the words of our beloved brother Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael), "for Africans, anti-zionism is the cutting edge of the class struggle."

VIETNAM REVISITED
Certainly President Bush has to read history and learn a lesson from the Vietnam election staged by President Johnson. He should learn from the facts on the ground, which proved that the winners would be the Iraqi people. The Resistance is controlling the streets days and nights, the forces of liberation are living among the people, supported by the people and protected by the people. The Resistance is gaining momentum every day while the invading soldiers are becoming an easy target; they are exhausted, confused and tired, they are loosing. They were driven to the gates of hell by their leaders to die for the dreams of Bush that has become a nightmare for all who are involved in this aggression. The New Iraqi Army and police force, created by Bush, are being hunted down and the lucky ones defect or abandon their units.
Indeed the election, which was staged by the Bush Administration and orchestrated by the news media, was not overwhelming and pleasant as George Bush claims. The majority of Iraq did not vote and the culprits are loosing their lives.
The new military force of Iraq is largely made of the Allawi followers who were living in Britain, Bader Brigade of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution trained by Iran, Al-Dawa Party, a pro Iranian party, the traitors of Marx and Lenin (the Iraqi Communist Party) and the Peshmerga of the Barazani and Talabani in the Kurdish north. All these parties were cooperating with foreign powers, especially with the US and British intelligence and some with âIsraelâ, not to forget Ahmad Chalabi, the wanted man for grand theft in Jordan. These forces took a major part in the destruction of Iraq. And were used in forcing certain segment of the Iraqi people to vote and in many cases they were threatening people who were hesitant. In many cases boxes were already full in favor of these political parties that the Iraqis never knew.
Who was running?
Was the candidacy transparent and open for every strata and segment of the Iraqi society, or was it limited to those who favor the Bush Zionist agenda? There is no doubt that the Candidates were not known to the public, their names were not announced and had no platform other than the support of the Imperialist USA to legitimize and prolong the occupation. There was no campaign because there was no need for it; the agenda was prepared in Washington and in Crawford Ranch with cowboy manner and mentality.
American soldiers were leafleting and urging the people to vote while they were carrying the guns and protected by tanks roaming the streets. The Iraqis were not out in the streets doing the job because the campaign and the elections were not in their interests.
Some of the candidates did not know that they were candidates at all and they asked to cross their names out because they were not interested. All the parties who were allowed to run are those who came atop of the invading tanks and under the protection of the occupation guns. Those parties are agents for Iran and for the United States and Britain.
The United States of America spent millions of dollars on these stooges and created and trained their militias that are being used now to suppress the Iraqi people as part of the coward members of the new army, National Guards and Police force.
Some people voted because Sistani the head of Marjayiah misguided them with his Fatwaâ a religious ruleâ if they do not vote they will burn in hell Sistani is Persian and his allegiance is to the Mullahs of Iran and not to Iraq. The Shia Arabs, like Imam Al-Khalisy and Moqtada Al-Sadr did not participate in the election and did not take part in this circus performance but unfortunately did not issue any Fatwa banning the voting because they did not want to offend Sistani. There were no UN observers or any international body present in Iraq; the closest observers were in Amman Jordan. The Media was reporting from theâ Green Zoneâ with remote cameras connected with five centers which were open for the media, mainly in the South and in the North. The rest of Iraq was not open for the press because it did not fit the stage and the actors.
The presence of voters in most of the election centers was very low and in others was of no existence at all. The news media were asked to film few centers which were filled with security personnel in some certain areas in Baghdad and elsewhere. The scene was filmed many times repeatedly showing us tat the place was stormed with voters, a trick that was known to the majority of the Iraqi people. The representatives of Abu Dhabi and Al-Arabiyya satellite televisions were taking turns, in a Hollywood style, filming those who were present in the voting center of Karradh Mariam, since the early morning of the staged process. Other centers in Baghdad and its surroundings were completely empty. In âSadr City, Hay al-Amil, al Shâula, al-Hurriya and all areas where the majority of our Shia brethren live were almost idle and the presence of voters was very weak.
The same situation prevailed in the districts of Al-Anbar, Salah ul Din, Ninawa, Diyala; even Al-Taâamim (Kirkuk) had witnessed an apparent boycott
Presence of voters was concentrated in the three northern districts. In Najaf, Karbala, Qadissiyah, Muthanna, Wasit and Misan where the presence of Iranians who crossed the borders and given Iraqi identity cards was very noticeable. There was a very strong boycott in Basra, Dhi Qar and Babel as well as in the rest of the country. The peopleâs Struggle Movement who provided us with information was told by those who supervise the so-called election â not many people participated, no more that 35% of the 14 million eligible to voteâ.
President Bush lied to the American people when he claimed that the majority of the Iraqi people took part of the election despite the forgery that took place.
The result of this staged election was known and the âwinnersâ were decided upon ahead of time. Some of the people, especially in the South, voted with a good intention and for other reasons than those of Bush, they voted to end the occupation because they support the National Resistance to liberate Iraq.
Withdrawing the troops is not the intention of President Bush and Democracy for Iraq is not seriously in his plan and never will be. He refuses to set a timetable for departing and handling the power and sovereignty to the Iraqi people. "We will not set an artificial timetable for leaving Iraq, because that would embolden the terrorists and make them believe they can wait us out," President Bush said in his State of the Union address. "We are in Iraq to achieve a result: A country that is democratic, representative of all its people, at peace with its neighbors and able to defend itself." A top general of Mr. Bush, James Mattis, confirmed to us that staying in Iraq and in Afghanistan is not for Democracy but for shooting indigenous people for fun "Actually, it's a lot of fun to fight . . . . It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right upfront with you, I like brawling," he said at a forum in San Diego. "You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil," he added. "You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them." This is the mission of the new Imperialist power headed by Bush, stay in Iraq and Afghanistan and have fun shooting people raping women and torture prisoners.
Let us wait and see what will happen in the months or weeks ahead. I believe that the Iraqi National Resistance will get stronger. The Shia will be more positive and more active against the occupation and more will join the Resistance. The so-called Iraqi Army, National Guard and Police Force will become weaker and will vanish. There will be no more recruits and the American and British invading forces will be forced to retreat and the lies of Bush about Democracy be revealed to the American people. Vietnam will be repeated and triumph will be on the Iraqi side sooner than we expect. A Mural will be erected in the Washington Mall with a script âThey Died In Vain And For Liesâ and God knows how many will they be.
President Johnson said the same thing about the escalating war in Vietnam. His rhetoric was typical on Jan. 12, 1966: "We fight for the principle of self-determination â that the people of South Vietnam should be able to choose their own course, choose it in free elections without violence, without terror, and without fear."
Later on the saga of terrorizing the Vietnamese people was ended by defeating the US forces and the Vietnamese were able to liberate their country, and their self determination was realized when their country became one again.
But it seems that George W. Bush and his cronies are not learning the lesson. He is still misleading the American people and portraying himself as the carrier of the âflag of liberation and freedomâ He is depriving the Americans from enjoying the good living in order to achieve his malicious acts of aggression in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Probably more aggressions would be committed somewhere on Planet Earth.
His war is widening beyond Iraq and Afghanistan, it is reaching the United States itself, it started against the elderly, the poor and deprived, it is against the majority of the American people. He unveiled a $2.5 trillion budget eliminating dozens of much needed domestic programs, including funding for education, environmental protection and business development, while proposing significant increases for the military and international spending, according to White House documents. 150 programs would be eliminated or radically cut back to boost his programs of aggression
The budget would cut $440 million in Safe and Drug-Free School grants, $500 million in education technology state grants, $225 million for the Even Start literacy program, $280 million for Upward Bound programs for inner-city youths and a $150 million talent research program, according to the documents.
The war against Iraq, Afghanistan and the American people should be a number one priority in the agenda of the progressive American organizations in order to derail Bush and his malicious ambitions.
The elections were intended to create an assembly to approve a constitution that is tailored in Washington to serve the interests of US Imperialism, to support a government that approves and supports the occupation of Iraq and to âpermitâ the Americans and their allies to have permanent large military bases
The Resistance is well aware of the plot, its vision is very clear and it is going according to its program, it is advancing and the foreign forces in Iraq are retreating and they will be defeated. Bush should take a notice from Vietnam where the US suffered a humiliating defeat and from Iraq of the Twenties when the British left in shame.
Mr. President do we need another wall in the Mall, Do we need 55.000 more names?
