Iraqi citizens in Jordan decide to return back home to fight

Iraq-Jordan, Politics, 3/24/2003

The Iraqi citizens in Jordan have decided to return back home and take part in defending it against the American- British aggression.

News reports said that the Iraqi worker Fayez Kazem, living in Jordan since four years, said " I can not stay watching the TV, seeing Baghdad burning."

Upon asking Fayez and construction workers about his decision to return back while the American missiles are falling on his country, he said " I want to be the first to return back to my country," adding I will come back to fight the Americans saying "The Iraqi is born from the womb of his mother carrying weapons."

Fayez is one of the workers who lived in Jordan, who stopped looking for rent cars and buses for a driver that would accept the risk of a dangerous trip to Iraq.

Sitar Muhammad, who moved from the southern Iraqi of al-Basra to Jordan one and a half years ago and works as a butcher in Amman said he does not fear death.

Sitar who left back home in al-Basra a wife and three children regrets the question on the reason behind his return back saying "who will defend our families and honor. Should I stay in Amman watching the TV while the American kills my family and harass my wife and sister?"

A bus driver Abu Rami who went to Baghdad to transport Iraqis said that "no body flees from Iraq. I did not see anyone packing his luggage or even coming out of his house." He said he was obliged to return back to Amman without transporting any passenger.

This may be a protracted struggle if the UN does not step in.

If we wait for the UN to come up with a solution, we'll all be in our graves before it happens. UN is a waste of time, totally ineffectual.
