Who are the enemies?


I have noticed that the coalition forces led by the US-UK alliance which have occupied Iraq on a false pretext are referring to the Iraqis as the enemies. A cruel joke indeed! On April 10, 2004 at a news conference in Iraq an American General when answering questions called the Iraqi groups who are fighting the invaders, "enemies". It is ridiculous, enemies are the coalition forces, not the Iraqis. They have attacked Iraq unjustly, killed thousands of people including women and children and are still killing many. They have raped women, and destroyed precious heritages of the historic country. So the Iraqis have realised that the enemies have come to their land not to save them from Saddam Hussein but for their own interests, they have no compassion for the Iraqis, hence this uprising against the US led coalition force.

There is something else which mystifies me, how come Ms. Rice became the National Security Adviser to President Bush? Every time I see her on TV, I experience a negative feeling; she looks arrogant, ominous and devoid of kindness. Maybe that is why president Bush appointed her!
