Some Iraqis still resist occupation

An addition of "Frontline," on PBS, March 22, presented an interview of an Afghanistan who was recruited to the CIA. They sent him to Camp X-ray, where he agreed to go to see if other prisoners would talk to him. Our troops treated him so badly that he considered suicide. The conditions he described included being stripped and once dressed in the orange jumpsuit, forced to squat in the same position and same place for over 24 hours.
He went on to say that most of the people there were not Al Qaeda and many had been turned on for cash. This is part of the great “Bush Doctrine” to spread “democracy” in the Middle East. Charles Krauthammer, (“Three Cheers for the Bush Doctrine” Time, March 14, 2005); and columnist Johathan Gurwitz, (“Critics having to admit Bush was right,” The Wichita Eagle, March 23) are now championing this effort.
But the violence in Iraq persists. We call them terrorists, but they are resisting occupation of their country by an arrogant imperialist power run by a president who is drunk with ambition and power. Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte and Julius Caesar all thought their conquests were for the best of humanity. President Bush suffers from the same illusion.
Not only are there still Iraqis who mistrust the US government, there are still many citizens here in the US who distrust the same government. We see the Republican Party trying to strip away all opposition, not by arresting opponents, but by marginalizing them and using the press to black out their voices.
WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!!!
