Giv mig et hjemland!

 
Iraqis react to    
Bush's 'liberation' of their country
Fra Angry Arab:
I want a homeland with no flags and no national anthems. I want a homeland that has open borders, and requires no entry visas. I want a homeland that does not have maids, and has no "dirty jobs." I want a homeland that does not hate others to feel better about itself. I want a homeland where people do not think that they are better than their neighbors. I want a homeland where people do not mock regional accents. I want a homeland where clerics (of all religions) are assigned more useful jobs. I want a homeland where people demand higher taxes to help others in need. I want a homeland that spends more on arts and public libraries, and nothing on defense. I want a homeland where the most admired are poor and nameless. I want a homeland where men do not call women bad names to stroke their silly "manhoods". I want a homeland with no presidents. I want a homeland that cares more about social justice than about whether this rich person or that rich person made it to that public office. I want a homeland where Larry King is not allowed near a TV station. I want a homeland where charity is more important than wealth, and courage is not defined by traditional standards. I want a homeland where cedars are considered just...trees. Mere trees. I want a homeland where opposition to war is appreciated more than wars. I want a homeland that does not preach, and does not submit to Empire out of fear.
Og giv mig i det mindste et hjemland, der ikke er så ynkeligt racistisk, så komisk selvovervurderende, så latterligt provinsielt eller så småligt pengefikseret som vort ynkeligt indskrænkede lille Dannevang.
