I also heard about this young Arabic Iraqi girl in the news, named Abeir, who was raped and murdered by American "soldiers"! Her and I share the same name although she a Muslim and I a Isho3ian....humans nonetheless. When Arabs ask your name and you say "Abeir" they say 3ashik el asame!

"I have read the news of this girl who was assaulted and then killed, her body burned like it was some object to be forgotten about. It has taken me a long time to write anything, mostly because I cry whenever I hear about it or read about it in the news... I feel so much rage - I find myself supporting the death penalty in this one case (I never supported it in the past).

A young, innocent girl, and I stress *girl* (was she even a woman yet?) brutalized in such a way, killed, and then her precious, little, fragile body shamelessly destroyed like that. Making it worse is the fact that she must have *heard* the shots that killed her family in the other room before she was assaulted. Her 7-year-old sister, mother, and father worried over the unknown fate of their beautiful young daughter in the next room, their protective instincts making them protest what was happening to little Abeer even though they were dealing with a well-armed, incredibly irrational group of opponents. Then, they watched each other die. What were Abeer's last thoughts? Was she worried about her parents and sister in the room next door? Were her thoughts, "Is my family dead, or are they injured? How would she deal with the loss of her innocence at such cruel hands? How would she live after that? What was her fate?" Put yourself in their shoes.

Every single soldier at that house that day should be charged with her rape and all 4 murders. Their names should be made public, as well, so the rest of the world knows to avoid these people, if by some turn of events a single one of them escapes life in prison. What makes me even more upset is the idea that this possibly wasn't something new to any of these soldiers - who knows how many people they murdered and/or assaulted before this came to light? Nor is this kind of activity new to the rest of the troops stationed in Iraq, as we all know. It's just the tip of the iceberg.

But, then another thought came to me. If nothing is done to these soldiers, who in America would want any one of these soldiers living in their neighborhoods? Who in the States would trust their 14 year old daughter to be safe in a neighborhood in which one of these soldiers lives? The military *has* to do something about these soldiers because those soldiers are a danger to society - any society. It's not only the military's obligation to put these men behind bars for the rest of their lives for the sake of Iraqi society, but for American society. This is because the more our military machine destroys people, creates monsters of people, the more those same people come back from their service, fully capable of doing the same thing to American citizens as they did over-seas. Who's going to guarantee that some troop who massacres a family in Iraq isn't going to snap someday and do the same thing to his American neighbors?

I mourn Abeer's death. I also know she's not the only one to die in such a merciless way during the Iraqi occupation. I was against the war from the beginning for the sake of Iraq, but it's time that the American military stop sh*tting in its own bathwater, because what happens in one place is bound to happen at home at the hands of the very same people."
