Als Antwort auf den offenen Brief an einen Amerikanischen Soldaten (A Letter to an American Soldier) hat der irakische Blogger Hammorabi nun auch die Antwort gepostet, hier ein kleiner Ausschnitt:

We believe we came to your country to liberate you from Saddam Hussein, we believe he was a very bad person. We believe we are there now to make sure you receive a healthy democracy that you can be proud of. We understand that we are not perfect, we are only human beings, we have made mistakes... we also understand that as we realize our mistakes we will do everything we can to stop doing it wrong, and get it right.

We honestly do try to respect your religion and your customs, sometimes it is not easy though, there are so many things about you that we don't know, many things you see as disrespectful are done out of either ignorance or the lack of funds/personnel, please forgive us for this. We are not trying to be mean. Also, as for your holy places, we do try as often as possible to respect that too, but you have to admit, sometimes the people who are trying to ruin your chances for democracy use these places in very UN-holy ways.

Hier den vollständigen Antwort-Brief bei Hammorabi.
