An Apology

By Mr King

Dear People of Iraq,

We are sorry that we continue in our occupation
of your country. We are sorry that we have shown
so little humility in our questionably motivated
efforts to "liberate" your country. We realize
now that we have been hypocritical, self-absorbed,
self-interested, and arrogant in our military
invasion of your country.

You see, the politically motivated fear of our
apparent cowardly leaders locks them away from ever
being able to admit when they have made bad decisions,
and this is likely why it has taken us so long to
admit our mistakes concerning your country.

We are committed that America get out of your country
now. We propose a plan in which we assist you in
setting up a preliminary open election in which the
top ten elected become the candidates in an Election
for the President of your country.

After the ten candidates are selected by your vote,
we propose that we then completely leave Iraq. Then
you can have your Election for President with us gone
from your country.

It will be entirely up to you to not destroy yourselves
and your potential for Democracy at that point.

We hope that we have helped you via the removal of
Saddam Hussein. We hope that you can accept our apology
for our inability to get out of your country sooner.

We have been misguided and out of integrity. We intend
that the leaders of our country face a Grand Jury Supreme
Court investigation for the deception of the American
People and the possibility of War Crimes in the Highest
Degree.

We are prepared to pay and enforce the penalty, if and
when indeed our leaders are convicted of these crimes,
which we judge at this point to be life in prison without
the possibility of parole.

Sincerely,
Seth D. King
