我们是主人

浅墨，04-24-2015

阿羽是名记者，在这个行业他做得出类拔萃，他也以此为豪。当他得知自己即将被派去伊拉克做实地报道时，他满心喜悦，认为这是一次提升自己的好机会。一个月后，阿羽抵达伊拉克，他目睹了伊拉克人民正在给萨达姆头像套上绳索，将其推动。阿羽问：为何伊拉克人如此憎恨他们国家的元首，这在中国是要坐牢的。他采访了不同的民众，人们告诉他，萨达姆是独裁者，他们在争取选举权，他们说：我们是国家的主人。

萨达姆的雕像被拉倒

萨达姆实行阴谋夺位。1979年6月，萨达姆借女儿生日会，邀请总统贝克尔和内阁成员到家里赴宴，接着他成功的发动了政变。7月16日萨达姆上台，他集总 统和总理之职于一身，成为伊拉克最高领导人。刚上台的萨达姆，立马导演了一场恐怖的政治清洗。他将反对他的党内500名高官以“间谍”的罪名将他们关到监 狱。随后，开枪将他们全部击毙。萨达姆掌权后，在伊拉克境内没有人敢明目张胆反抗他，他对内实行镇压，对外发动了持续八年之久的两伊战争。

萨达姆实行恐怖统治。萨达姆在执政期间，镇压什叶派穆斯林起义，下令暗杀反政府政治活动人士，迫害宗教团体、非宗教团体政治团体。1988年3月 16日，两伊战争期间，萨达姆认为哈莱卜杰人支持伊朗，他下令对库尔德城镇哈拉卜沙发动化学武器袭击，仅一天就造成超过5000人死亡，1万多人受伤。有 证人披露，萨达姆对库尔德人进行种族灭绝计划，仅1987至1988年间50万库尔德人被迫害至死，或被当场处决。当美军占领巴格达后，从南部沙漠发现 18个万人坑，从衣着饰物来看，多数为平民，其中还有身怀六甲的孕妇。

萨达姆被送上断头台。2003年3月20日，以美国为首的联合国军队进攻伊拉克，开始实施“斩首行动”。4月9日，萨达姆在巴格达的雕像被民众推 倒，标志着复兴党政权被摧毁，萨达姆24年的统治生涯结束，其后他暗中潜逃。直至12月13日，才在萨达姆在家乡提克里特将他抓捕。2004年6月30 日，美军将萨达姆移交伊拉克临时政府，宣布他不再是战俘，同天伊拉克临时政府正式宣布逮捕萨达姆。随后，萨达姆被送上了审判台。2006年12月30日伊 拉克当地时间早上六点多，萨达姆被处以绞刑。

伊拉克人民获得选举权。伊拉克民众说：“赢取民主选举是每个伊拉克人的期望。”2005年1月30日，伊拉克国民议会选举进行，期间选出了275个 席位的国民议会，以取代2004年美军占领伊拉克后的临时政府。参选的政党或联盟有伊拉克团结联盟、伊拉克团结名单、伊拉克共识阵线、库尔德政党联盟以及 伊拉克国民大会。所有在2005年1月1日年满18周岁的伊拉克人皆可参加投票。所有符合投票资格的伊拉克公民大约在1400万人左右。

伊拉克民众说：“萨达姆的政权倒了，美国解放了伊拉克，我们获得了民主与自由。”与伊拉克人民的齐声欢呼不同的是，中国人造神运动的盛况还在延续。

重新神化毛泽东。2015年年初，来自中国的报道说，今年的大年初一和初二两天，有大约20万人前往韶山朝拜毛泽东的亡灵，毛泽东塑像下摆满了花 篮，粗略估计将近有1000只。其中不乏大批的官员和商人祈求毛泽东亡灵保佑仕途坦荡，财源亨通。早些时候，中国官方媒体还报道说，在1993年12月6 日毛泽东塑像运抵湖南韶山时，“出现了奇异的一幕：漫山遍野的杜鹃花似乎早已约好似的，竞相绽放，红得似火，粉得像霞，绚烂多姿。”而当地杜鹃花开的正常 季节是三个月之后。

对于神化毛泽东现象，各界众说纷纭。再次看见“毛泽东热”现象的人们神态不一。有人说：“看见那么多老百姓崇拜毛主席，感觉又回到了文革年代，令人热血沸 腾。”有人说：“当今中国看似民间自发的“毛泽东热”主要是一种高压政治之下的怪异现象。他认为，这种崇拜可以简单归结为完全是对权势的崇拜，是人类最恶 劣的一种崇拜。”也有人说：“这是一种变态性的亡灵崇拜，只有独裁者本身才会树立令人崇拜的高大上形象，比如：金日成、萨达姆、斯大林这样的独裁者。”

从萨达姆阴谋夺位，到上台后的恐怖统治，再到被送上断头台，最后到人民获得选举权，伊拉克人民历尽千辛万苦。而中国民众还沉浸在神化毛泽东的时代， 久久回不过神来。在伊拉克采访的这段时间里，阿羽亲眼目睹了美国解放伊拉克，令其走向一个自由民主的国家。这样的事实令他感到震惊，甚至颠覆他的认识。渐渐地阿羽明白，只有一个国家的民众拥有选举权，他们才真正算得上是国家的主人。在中国，人们没有这样的选举权，他们还不是国家的主人。中国教育从未告诉学 生，我们是国家的主人，也没有告诉学生这是你们与生俱来的财富，而是告诉孩子们要听从党的指挥。今天，很多人走出国门，他们发现西方的教育告诉孩子们：我们是国家的主人！

We Are The Owner Of Our Land

Qianmo Ruo, 04-24-2015

(Translation from original Chinese， by Yan Yi)

Ayu is a famous reporter, and he is proud of this job.When he knew that he was sent to Iraq, as a frontline reporter, he was so excited. At the time when he was in Iraq,  he witnessed that the Saddam statue was tied with a rope and pulled down by the people of Iraq. Ayu doubted: Why the Iraqi hated their president? In China, such emotions could lead a person to prison. Then, he interviewed different Iraqi. People told him: “Saddam is a dictator. We are fighting for our rights. We are the owner of our land.”

Saddam was an intriguer who implemented a plot to seize his position. On June 1979, Saddam initiated a conspiracy by inviting President Becker and cabinet members to his daughter’s birthday party. On July 16, Saddam became the supreme leader of Iraq and was about to start a cruel political cleansing. Five hundred senior officials were put in jail for the crime of “spy”, and shot to death eventually. After Saddam had taken the power, no one was allowed to oppose him in Iraq. He suppressed people inside and launched an 8-year-war outside.

Saddam was a dictator, and he implemented the reign of terror. During the period of Saddam power, he suppressed the Shiite Muslims’ revolt,  assassinated the anti-government dissidents, and persecuted the groups of religious. On March 16, 1988, during Iran-Iraq war, Saddam believed that Halabjah supported Iran, so he ordered to launch the chemical weapon attack on Kurdish cities Halabu, causing over 5000 dead, more than 10,000 injured in only one day. A witness disclosed that Saddam carried on the genocide plan to Kurd. From 1987 to 1988, more than 500,000 Kurds were persecuted to death. After the United States Army had occupied Baghdad, they found eighteen mass graves from the south desert, most of which buried the civilians including the pregnant women.

The dictator was against the people’s will, so Saddam was delivered to the guillotine finally. On March 20, 2003, the Army of the United Nations attacked Iraq, and started to implement “Decapitation Strike.” On April 9, the Saddam statue in Baghdad was pushed down by the Iraq people, which meant the power of Baath Party was destroyed, and the dictatorship of Saddam was ended after 24 years. On December 13, 2013, the army of United Nations arrested Saddam in his hometown Tikrit. On June 30, 2004, the United Stated Army turned him over to the Iraqi provisional government, announced that he was no longer a prisoner. On the same day, Iraqi provisional government formally announced to arrest Saddam. Afterward, Saddam was delivered to judge’s desk. On December 30, 2006, at 6:00 am, Saddam was executed on the guillotine.

The Saddam’s regime broke down, and the Iraqi won the right to vote. One of them said: “Wining the democratic election is the dream of each Iraqi.”On January 30, 2005, the Iraqi national parliamentary election was held. 275 seats of general assemblies were generated to replace the provisional government. The political parties were the Iraqi Solidarity Union, Iraqi Unity List, Iraqi Mutual Battleline, Kurdish Political Party Alliance, and the Iraqi National Congress. Civilians above 18-year-old were qualified to take part in the vote on January 1, 2005, which were approximately about 14 million people.

The Iraqi showed grateful to the United States, who liberated the people of Iraq. What is different from the cheers of Iraqi people was that the dictatorship kept ruling the people of China.

The Chinese people are still in the worship of their dictatorship Zedong Mao. At the beginning of 2015, about 200,000 people were going to the Shaoshan to worship Mao Zedong’s soul. An estimate of 1000 flowered basket was under the Zedong Mao’s statue. Among the people, it emerged a lot of officials and merchants who sought bless of their business and jobs from Zedong Mao’s soul. Earlier, the Chinese official media reported that on December 6, 1993, when Mao Zedong Statue transported to Shaoshan Hunan province,  a miracle presented.  Azalea were all over the mountain with different vivid colors, but the normal season for azalea is March.

Regarding the phenomenon of deifying Zedong Mao, there come different opinions. Some people said: “Seeing all of these people worshiping Mao is like going back to the Cultural Revolution age. It is excited.” Some people said: ” It is freaked that the current of Zedong Mao prevailed again in China under the high pressure of political power. Worship like this is equivalent to the chase for dictatorship, which is pure evil in human society.” Also, some people said: “This is an abnormalism soul worship, only dictator himself would set up such impression to the people, for example, Kim Il-sung, Saddam, and Stalin.”

That is long hard time for Iraqi civilians to win the right to vote, from Saddam seizing the position, executing the reign of terror, delivered to the guillotine. In contrast, the Chinese people are still immersing into their dictator without realizing the outside world. During the time in Iraq, Ayu witnessed how American liberated Iraq, and made this country democratic. He felt shocking with doubts at first. In the end, he understood that only when people have the right to vote to become to the owner of their land. In China, people do not have the right to vote, so they are not considered to be the owner of their country. Chinese education never tells the student that we are the owner of our land, and this is our inherited wealth. It infuses students with the concept of dictatorship generation by generation. Today, a lot of Chinese people go outside their country, and they discover that western education tells the student: we are the owner of our land.
