From an elderly Iraqi lady


I sat in amazement, watching this angry, frank debate…
He accused them, and they refused these accusations….
I knew the truth of America here, during this month…
People here are weak, submissive, their will taken from them…
They want the change, but do not know how, or else, they are yielding people, who lost hope in their ability to cause change. The decision in this country is in the hands of the wealthy, who own the money, the banks, and the giant companies, and of course- the Media, that controls the minds of simple people…
Even the election system is controlled by money; the Candidate needs millions of dollars for the election campaign, meaning- who would care for a Candidate of principals, humanity, justice, and peace, who shall take care of him, or finance his campaign?
But that who is ready to market the ideas of the rich class, the class that loves wars and investments, will find someone to spend millions on his campaign, will tell people all the nice promises and glamorous slogans. They will elect him, and when he gets to the chair, and sits in the position of decision- making, he will carry out the instructions of the major companies that financed his campaign, not the poor Americans who elected him…
And so, people would live in one realm, and the decision- maker, having abandoned them, would live in another…
This is the reality of things in America…
