Sultan Somjee sent us the following quote, thanks a lot dear Sultan!

The writer Arundhati Roy ended her last great speech in San Francisco a month ago with these words (or have a look in her book Public Power in the Age of Empire, Seven Stories Press/Open Media Pamphlet Series, 2004):

"For those of us who are on the wrong side of Empire, the humiliation is becoming unbearable. Each of the Iraqi children killed by the United States was our child. Each of the prisoners tortured in Abu Ghraib was our comrade. Each of their screams was ours. When they were humiliated, we were humiliated. The U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq - mostly volunteers in a poverty draft from small towns and poor urban neighborhoods - are victims just as much as the Iraqis of the same horrendous process, which asks them to die for a victory that will never be theirs".
