General Secretariat, The Association of Muslim Scholars
in Iraq (AMSI) | Open Letter to Sahwa Forces
`
During the second world war in Yugoslavia there were 3
kinds of guerrilla forces: (1) those who fought Nazis
so when victory came a new Yugoslavia could arise; (2)
those who more or less fought Nazis so when victory
came the old pre-war order could be reestablished; (3)
those who did not fight Nazis but did fight both (1)
and (2): Adamic called them "Anti-guerrilla guerrillas."
`
NOT the same, but a similar situation has come about in
Iraq with the anti-guerrilla guerrillas in Iraq --the
Sahwa (Awakening) Project-- not fighting The Superpower
but fighting the Resistance ("1") and contesting with
the out-and-out puppets of The Superpower ("2").
`
When victory comes and The Superpower is compelled to
flee Iraq, the fleeing Superpower and puppet-gov troops
will together slaughter the Sahwa ("3").
`
With that in mind the AMSI wrote its Open Letter.
`
The translation of the letter into English is faulty;
but if you know the background you'll be able to make
out what's meant.
