...over at aina they`re asking this question...well, it`s really at the core of things as they stand now. I remember AANF conventions back in the late 70s and early 80s...before the nationalist boys from Syria, Turkey and Iraq began arriving. They were classy affairs attracting the sort of cultured and well-heeled people you need if you are ever going to build anything substantial. The boys from Iraq arrived, still pissed and convinced that SOME ENEMY was responsible for their lack of position or resources or MONEY...they came blaming Muslims and Islam and Muhammad...but it wouldn`t be long before these sorts, who blame everyone else BUT themselves, would grow to resent the "traitors" to their ditzy notion of what a Nayshun should be...most of them were reconstructed Communists anyway and of the lowest mental order...so they had in addition an inbred dislike of anyone with money and material success...once again convinced that the person only got rich by stealing from THEM. I remember them well...they wore ill-fitting clothes they seemed to take pride in...as if a bad tailor was a mark of Revolutionary fervor. They refused to smile or partake in anything pleasant...they looked down their big noses at any sort of cultural event or anything at all that wasn`t aimed 100% at getting "back their homeland". They were dour, grumpy, frumpy, lumpy, short and hairy too...perfect Dwarfs all around. Every conversation, every dance, every drink had to revolve around one issue..."how do we get someone to GIVE us what we feel we deserve". Whenever anyone suggested they go out and work for it, they groused that the person was a Traitor and Enema of his Peepil! They wanted us all to petition and complain...to demonstrate and beg and plead....they wanted us to place our hopes in the Brits or Americans or any foreign Christian...of course they didn`t know squat about the real history of such people...just been encouraged all their lives to beg SOMEONE! It didn`t take many years before the earlier crowd stopped attending...and soon all we had was a hotel full of grumpy people demanding of each other and breaking into factions and breaking heads...and of course never getting any closer to a Nayshun. We lost the opportunity to create a viable and vibrant CULTURE here in America...all these boys wanted was American WEAPONS to be turned on Iraq...kill them all if they wouldn`t go what Aprim and Jassim and Jatou wanted. The road for us, a better one, would have been to slowly build a presence in America and Europe...to convince people that maybe, just maybe, we could handle a thing or two...instead we got Leeders who couldn`t throw a party or picnic without making it an International BETRAYAL or some such grandiose sounding thing. We became clowns...just look around you...the boys have been reduced to wanting to HIRE someone, anyone BUT one of them, to maybe get them something, somewhere. This sort of behavior does not inspire confidence in the very people you are begging and pleading with...and, finally...all they`re left with is all they ever had..."give me something because I am being MARTYRED"...the final, the most shamefull and most ignominious "strategy" of them all. I remember Jassim telling us that the Shumirum Monument, slated for Chicago and embraced eagerly by the city, was only a question of MONEY...money between two private parties and as such had no bearing or held no interest for Assyrians. All that was at stake was that I wanted to get PAID what was owed me. I`d already BEEN paid years earlier...the argument had nothing to do with money, for anyone. But Nimrod`s reaction was the same as Jassim`s and Aprim`s and Jatou`s...they wanted the focus to remain on how NEEDY and incapabale we were...how much we needed to be petted and protected, how we were the LITTLEST ally...so would someone please take pity on us. THIS has been their strategy...not only will it get you nothing but contempt, but in the end you will REDUCE yourself, even your young and potentially strong people, into serious objects of pity....you may get thrown some bones...you may get food stamps..but NO ONE is going to give you a COUNTRY, fer chrissakes! In the meantime you have lost the chance to attract serious and positive attention for real achievements....achieved with PRIDE and not through begging. The Shumirum Monument, that should have gone to Chicago, a city of several million with an unrivaled public art collection, where thousands of Assyrian children live, is now going to a small California coastal town of maybe seven thousand people and not a SINGLE Assyrian kid...and this came about because of ASSYRIAN indifference and interference, not because of a SINGLE Arab or Kurd or Muslim! What we lost along the way, the good will and ability and interest AND financial backing of all those among us who know what success means and how you go about getting it means that, in the end, after the boys of Iraq are done playing, we have NOTHING....we gained nothing and we lost all that we could have built on. Oh, O almost forgot....we have several "books" now by "authors" who will go on and on about what is OWED them and how much we SUFFERED...we have exchanged real achievements, accomplishments RECOGNIZED in the countries we live in now AS accomplishments for "doctorates" you can buy cheap and "books" you can pay to have PRINTED...all of it FRAUD...all of it the stuff of jokes...all of it well known to our fellows and their children and to the children of the people OUR children must grow among as what those who CANNOT achieve anything meaningful SETTLE FOR. We traded a REAL monument to our Heritage for a monument to FRED APRIM....that`s all his "books" are...the same is true for Rosie Malek and her "book"..as well as the Donabeds and THEIR "book"..these are monuments to their own petty "achievements", that`s all. They do nothing for our HERITAGE...they lift it NOWHERE! They are merely the usual prejudices printed in "books" and handed out, in the end, to those who are more than eager to believe their OWN prejudices...those who love the smell of their own farts. Congtaulations to the boys. --------------------- - BACK TO INDEX - REPLY - QUOTE - EDIT - DELETE -
