To President Bush, June 2, 2006

As we fast approach July 4th in which this country celebrates not only our independence from a tyrannical rule under the crown, we also celebrate being American. Having just viewed an ITV news video in which a ten year old girl whose name is Iman Walid chronicled the massacre that took her family members in Haditha: I want to ask you just how can we celebrate being Americans knowing we took these innocent lives? Do we still attend parades, picnics and wave the American flag? Speaking of the American flag, I have made it a personal pledge not to pledge allegiance to it until you are long gone. I cannot see for the life of me just how Americans can do this after occupying an innocent country that took the lives of Iman’s family as well as countless more. When Iman Walid stated that she “hated Americans” that will be your very legacy, President Bush. Thanks for making the rest of the world hate us as well.

As far as I am concerned while those Marines must face justice, the one who is truly guilty of taking this ten year old girl’s family is you, President Bush. As their Commander in Chief you are responsible for taking her family from her since you chose to lie about our reason for invading her country. This ten year old girl should have been doing what most ten year old girl’s do and that is to dream of a better future instead of witnessing the horrors of her family being taken away from her. How could you do that to a little girl, President Bush? Where is your so called Christianity? If you think for one moment that Christ would condone this heinous act, think again. If you think that you are getting into Heaven, think again. May you burn in Hell for all eternity for these war crimes.

Thanks for making me ashamed of being an American knowing that her family’s blood is on my hands when I screamed out with millions more of why we must not invade this country. But you chose not to listen to us in your lust for power and greed. If I do celebrate July 4th, it will be only in remembrance of a country long gone. America died when you stole the office of President of the United States back in 2000, President Bush and that will be your legacy as well.
