Room Enough

[Rose Siding]

Excerpted from an entry on the "Inside Iraq" blog-

I issue an invitation to Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld.

Come; experience first hand the democracy you brought us.

Come; partake of the freedom you so generously taught us.

Come, I will offer you my home, there is room enough.

I had a brother. He was killed; coinage for your democracy. (11.Aug, 2005 – 52 yrs)

I had a son. He was killed; coinage for your freedom. (3 Dec, 2005 – 18 yrs)

I had a nephew. He was killed; coinage to ease your inflated ego. (12 Feb, 2007 – 30 yrs)

Come, there is room enough in my home to accommodate you; but there is no room in my heart to accommodate your lame excuses.

Come, all those who participated in wounding our hearts; come; there are more than half a million places vacant of their occupants, we will accommodate you.

There is room enough.
