Columnist Abdulillah al-Khamiri says in his article the American occupation armies in Iraq have changed into a hammer destroying whatever near to them and suspect about its source, whether it was weak or strong, a house or a school or others. That is what we see happen in the behaviour of the American occupation forces in the Iraqi city of Falluja day and night.
To justify those acts, the American forces fabricated a ghost personality and named it al-Zarqawi. The al-Zarqawi which the United States says has come from Jordan to Iraq to lead an armed resistance against the American presence is but only an excuse for carrying out destruction of residential houses on the heads of their inhabitants in this city, without taking into consideration of any human conscience and without paying respect to humanity due to the savage nature of the American forces and a depiction of the loss of moral and the arrogance. Women and children are everyday killed in this city by the U.S. warplanes and military tanks under pretext that the city is harboring al-Zarqawi. We would wonder are there not other Zarqawis in other cities of Iraq other than Falluja?
When Mr Kofi Annan, he UN Secretary-General described the action of the American and British administrations in the Middle East as shameful violation of the international law meant by that the war of annihilation Israel has launched in Palestine under the protection of those two administrations that are now practicing the same role in Iraq, particularly in Falluja that has resisted the occupiers.
