Prof mentioned how the release of an Israeli prisoner and how he was lauded was overrated,
and yet no mention about Abu Ghraib.

Hmm interesting, i wonder what kind of a place Abu Ghraib is.
Only to know that it would capture me the whole day.

This prison camp situated in Iraq detains Iraqis who are suspected to be dangerous,
and can be detained without proper trial and treated as the US military deemed fit.

Awful awful accounts i tell you.
I feel so indignant for the Iraqi victims.
Are they not humans as well?
Why is every bearded Middle Easterner labeled as dangerous?

Americans just convinced the world that they really are stupid, apathetic and ambivalent
about everything around the world.
Ironic how the world revolves around them.
Their only saving grace are really those few who dare to speak up about the heinous crimes of the Abu Ghraib.

How could they be so cruel to harm innocent civilians and treat them like dogs.
To force upon them acts that are immoral and dirty.
These Iraqis have done nothing wrong.
They just want a peaceful life. Why must the Americans come and wreck their peace.

Soldiers have been so motivated to stay and fight war in the Middle East,
because the ass of a bush tells the people that Iraq is at fault.
But not ALL Iraqis isnt it.
And who are you to say that people are insurgences and detain them,
inflicting upon them those torturous acts which makes YOU yourself no better than an insurgent.
And what happens at the end of the day?
Those people aren't really insurgents.

Recounting interviews from military police within Abu Ghraib who they themselves got traumatized,
people who were tortured were not because they posed as a threat of terrorism or the likes.
They were people who were taxi-drivers and commoners.
At most, they were car thieves, who definitely do not deserve this shit.

These people under siege,
are God-fearing people who have not done anything wrong.
Why do their families need to be broken?
Not just the men detained,
women are also put into prisons.
Why can't they live a life of peace and simplicity?
These people, some hardly even educated,
how could they fathom what a bomb even is?

My heart really goes out to these people,
the forgotten nation,
the abandoned civilization.
And yet there is nothing I can do.
While those people who can do something to change things for the better,
and taking the back seat with nonchalance.
Why must this happen?

News everywhere today speaks sorrow.
Bad news sell. Yes.
But i rather it no news than bad news.
Natural disasters are tragic enough,
why do people want to churn out more tragedy?

Why cant people love,
and not uphold stereotypes of other people?
Why must there be discrimination?
Why does there have to be segregation of white and colour people?
When actually, come to think of it, white people aren't white,
they are pink.
Why are people who are not affected not doing anything?
I ask myself.

But what can I do?
I'm but a nobody.
But so is that American soldier who is pushing his weight around
and exploiting the under-fed and maltreated Iraqis
who have not done anything.
Their only fault was probably the fact that they haven't received proper education
that could possibly help them fend for themselves.
But then again,
why couldn't they receive proper education?
Because of inequality.
Because of manipulation.
Rich get richer,
poor get poorer.
Where's all the oil?
Where's all the gold?
If they are everywhere,
then why is poverty proliferating concurrently?

My heart and head is aching,
feelings of empathy and fear overwhelms me.
I want to help,
but i know i cant, and i don't dare to as well.
Lord, come down and save the poor people.
They will only listen to you.
