“He is an American” became these days widely used among some Iraqis and Arabs, and they use this sentence and call everyone who stands in solidarity with Iraq and its people in its present critical ordeal and who supports and backs up the Iraqi political process and all the positive steps that were resulted from this process toward the complete independency and the return of the national sovereignty for all Iraqis.

Also they call the people who support drafting the permanent Iraqi constitution and who will participate in the referendum on October 15 and the next Iraqi elections, and “ He is an American” is apply to all the Iraqi staff working in different government offices all levels including the police, army and the security services, and also even the physicians, university professors, intellectuals, educated people and other people they call or name each other that“ He is an American” and also this is true to the writers who write a sincere word about the Iraqi people and about all what they had suffered of difficulties and disasters during the era of the defeated dictator Saddam and they are still facing the terrorism, crimes and chaos.

They name every one of those writers as“ He is an American” and this include even the people who work day and night for the sake and for the best interest of their country in providing essential, public and education services and they call each one of them as “ He is an American” and it is not only used for the Iraqis, but for the Arabs who stand and cooperate with Iraq and they say it loud without fear or hesitation, though their numbers are small but their presence and existence and their actions are big and effective.

Anyone who keeps silent or supports the terrorism acts, explosions and the criminal operations is a terrorist, and the series of “ He is an American” is continued for all who loves the life, respect the human rights and have faith in freedom, reform, justice and fraternity and stand against the terrorism, abuse, hunger, and dictatorship.

And if all those are agents or (collaborators) to America, and they are not Iraqi patriots, then who you call yourself when you support and stand with the terrorism and the organized crimes and the destruction of Iraq and other countries.

Hmm...I didn't know that.

That sounds great. Too bad it's not as appreciated here as it is in Iraq.
