Confessions of an Assassin

ZahraJ baji, please do share the basis of your comment about the article, and me. It was wholly spontaneous, and I don`t remember myself trying to imitate someone else`s style deliberately. Thanks for the input though. :-)

Oh, God, how I dislike copy cats!

Dear Azure -- my apology for intruding -- but thanks for a most timely and appropriate board -- the difference -- these cold blooded shamelss ASSASSINS will never confess --

great piece

nasah, thank you for sharing your views. All the meaningless war, plundering and destruction of towns, cities and entire nations is no less of an assassination of humanity, peace and all the goodness that should be here in this world but isn`t.

Confessions of an Assassin does not pose as an allegory though. It is just my humble effort to present the mind of the assassin in a different dimension.

From BBC:

We all agree the sons are bad people but why display their bodies? Why do they have to pull an old metal piece that supported the leg of one of the sons? It`s not enough that the bodies had 20 or more bullet holes. We have to pull this rod out of his leg and shave his hair.

re we any different from those gangs in Somalia that paraded 10 or so of our soldiers in downtown Somalia? Weren`t these gangs trying to prove to their people that they killed 10 US soldiers?
Kevin Flemming, US


To display grotesque pictures of the US military`s hunting trophies is unacceptable by any decent human standards. Treating human bodies as casually as road kill just supports the belief in the heavy handed insensitive bully-boy tactics of the US.

Imagine the outrage if these were pictures of our soldiers` mutilated bodies splattered across the media. Do we not care that these are pictures our own children see and judge their world by? Is this democracy?

Wouldn`t a stronger message be to see these men on trial? Assassinating these guys sets them up as martyrs and opens us up to further hatred and terrorism. And after the drought of evidence so far supporting reasons for this war, aren`t we about ready to hear some concrete proof of what we`re told by the spin doctors?

Now what the Bush administration is telling the world -- that it`s an ASSASSIN`S administration? --

Is this our message to the world?

that ASSASSINATION -- by air to surface missiles -- of foreiign leaders and THEIR CHILDREN -- not the arrest TRIAL and conviction -- is now the IN THING -- is a LEGITIMATE persuit -- in International politics -- by the country of Jefferson and Lincoln?

Does that mean that Bush`s daughters are now legitimate targets?

Assassination of ``BAD`` people by missiles is one thing -- showing their shot up faces on world TV is something else -- is also necessary???

it is the most disgusting and revolting act this crazy, totally out of control ASSASSIN administration has done -- even the Israeli assassins DON’T SHOW the faces of their enemies that they have assassinated --

Bush has committed one of the most repulsive acts in the history OF international WARFARE AND RELATIONS --

Last night a wave of revulsion against this stupid and crazy president has gone throughout the incredulous and stunned world with those gory pictures being proudly displayed on the TV

the question is -- WHY WAS IT SO NECESSARY TO SHOW THOSE GODDAMN PICTURES?

Bush is a disgusting BORN-AGAIN American JIHADI -- he is now on a mission -- God is directly speaking to him -- telling him to rid the world of ``bad`` people -- by assassinating them in public veiw..

Bush is a dangerously SICK revolting repulsive half man -- he has NO class...

today there is palpable wave of revulsion against this man all over the world.

what this halfwit has done to the IMAGE of MY United States of America – in just three years – is mind boggling – and the man was not even elected president by the majority of the voters!!!!

and the point being????

rozaiba, thanks. Yes, I`ll try to keep writing. :-)

temporal bhai, what wrong have you done janab?

good attempt at capturing the mind of a dead man walking. needs more emotions. nice ending.

Keep writing.

i want to die first.
