An angry message to the Iraqi people from Angry Arab. Now that really pisses me off. It is about the Iraqi people. Why can't the Iraqi people foot the bill for the American occupation of their country? I mean, really. Here is the US going through the trouble of invading and occupying Iraq and the least the Iraqi people can do by way of gratitude is to share the bills of the occupation. I mean, why can't the colonized pay the colonizers for the cost of the colonization endeavor? Why? This is the least that they can do. After all. They are being occupied and they need to show that they are willing to stand up and pay back the country that invaded them and occupied them. Read this: "Legislation being drafted by the three would accomplish that by restricting future reconstruction dollars to loans instead of grants. The bill also would require that Iraq pay for the fuel used by American troops and take over U.S. payments to predominantly Sunni fighters in the Awakening movement." Enough already o Iraqi people.
