We’re Bombing Iraq

This is me at age seven, on vacation in Colorado with my parents. We’re playing the part of the “perfect American family.” Never did I imagine that one day I’d be saying this, but…sorry, world, for the war crimes!

    I don’t really know what’s a purrfect american family exactly nor an american dream. But I can live with that because even no one has got an exact definition of that :)

    Anyway, I got your message. Let me just tell you that AFAIC, I don’t blame no citizens for their government’s acts. But sadly people everywhere do.

    Like, I won’t be kicking or saying mean things to some american or israeli (in morocco) if I see them walking on the street. Neither will I do that to you :)

    Jeez Yahia I hope not! That would make you the first! :)

    This post is probably directed more to my American friends. What I’m saying is that we’re a democracy, so we need to hold our leaders accountable for what was done in our name—an illegal war. Changing the leadership in Congress was a start, but only a start.

    Thanks Moh for the visit. I named the website eatbees a few years ago, with the help of some friends. That was before the blog, when I was hiding in a corner and no one knew about me. (By the way, the oldest part of the website is here.) Why eatbees? I suppose because I like bees, which are creatures that know how to cooperate, and they represent wisdom in Sufi imagery (honey = wisdom). I also think that when I’m old, I’d like to live on a mountain somewhere (I would prefer a volcano) and raise bees. So why “eat” bees, you ask? I can’t really answer that. You tell me! :)
