DEATH SENTENCE; TOO DIFFICULT FOR AMERICANS, BUT TOO EASY FOR INNOCENT IRAQIS !

DEATH SENTENCE; TOO DIFFICULT FOR AMERICANS, BUT TOO EASY FOR INNOCENT IRAQIS !
The case of the execution of Stanley Roorkie Williams has drawn much attention in the western media. It took the American justice about 24 years to trail, convict, and execute a man who had brutally killed 4 innocent people !. This may express the preciousness of human life, that should not be terminated without a justice trail and due cause.

ON THE OTHER hand, the scene in Iraq is very much gloomy. The lives of the Iraqis are so cheap so that a simple USA soldier can immediately trail, convict, and execute death penalty. That can be easily done anywhere, and everywhere that soldier wants !. A very simple reason is needed, which is; that Iraqi is a threat to the USA troops !. To be a threat or not is just a mere judgment of any USA soldier in Iraq. Typical cases of such irresponsible killings are:-

1- The USA troops in Iraq usually fire at any suspected car with the aim to kill not only the driver but all who are within the car no matter there is a family or children . Hundreds of such cases have been recorded in Iraq. Sugrena case, which is well known example to the media, since the killed man was Italian !.

2- The above behavior was also followed by the security firms that are contracted with the USA troops. The Trophy video ( ) show examples for the deliberate killing of Iraqis by shooting at approaching civilian cars.

3- USA troops have bombed many houses based on alleged reports that they contain some insurgents ! then, after the killing of a whole family, it turned out that those reports are false. There have been tens of such incidents. Examples are the killing of ; a family of 18 persons in a village south of Mosul town, 25 persons who were in a wedding party in Al-qiem west of Iraq, a family of 18 in Al-ramady town,..... etc.

The Iraqis are quite sure that Mr Bush administration has authorized its troops to execute death sentences on the Iraqis, wherever and whenever the troops like. Then every kind and justice person will have the wrights to ask ; is the life of a convicted USA criminal more valuable than that of an innocent Iraqi ?. Is justice inside USA territories different from that in the middle east ?. Whatever the answer, whichever the reason, no body will ever forgive Mr Bush for the war crimes committed by his troops in IRAQ !.
