家园 我要说的话可能听起来

我要说的话可能听起来很没有人性,希望你能耐下性子听,然后耐下性子想。

我不否认这些人,都有他们自己的苦处。但是说惨,真的够惨么?我可以告诉你,什么叫惨。也不是太过去,也不是太遥远。

As I write this, Oprah is on Channel 4 (one of the MBC channels we get on Nilesat), showing Americans how to get out of debt. Her guest speaker is telling a studio full of American women who seem to have over-shopped that they could probably do with fewer designer products. As they talk about increasing incomes and fortunes, Sabrine Al-Janabi, a young Iraqi woman, is on Al Jazeera telling how Iraqi security forces abducted her from her home and raped her. You can only see her eyes, her voice is hoarse and it keeps breaking as she speaks. In the end she tells the reporter that she can’t talk about it anymore and she covers her eyes with shame.

Sabrine continuing:

“One of them, he said… I told him, ‘Please- by your father and mother- let me go.’ He said, ‘No, no- by my mother’s soul I’ll let you go- but on one condition, you give me one single thing.’ I said, ‘What?’ He said, ‘{I want} to rape you.’ I told him, ‘No- I can’t.’ So he took me to a room with a weapon… It had a weapon, a Klashnikov, a small bed {Unclear}, he sat me on it. So {the officer came} and told him, ‘Leave her to me.’ I swore to him on the Quran, I told him, ‘By the light of the Prophet I don’t do such things…’ He said, ‘You don’t do such things?’ I said, ‘Yes’.

{Crying} He picked up a black hose, like a pipe. He hit me on the thigh. {Crying} I told him, ‘What do you want from me? Do you want me to tell you rape me? But I can’t… I’m not one of those ***** {Prostitutes} I don’t do such things.’ So he said to me, ‘We take what we want and what we don’t want we kill. That’s that.’ {Sobbing} I can’t anymore… please, I can’t finish.”

真正惨的人,他们不会对着他们电脑的摄像头拿起卡片。他们不会对这个剥削他们的现行系统抱有任何希望。真正被逼到墙角的人们,他们只会拿起枪支,因为他们已经死了。

我曾经很天真地希望,人类发展到今天这个地步,可以避免这种情况再次发生。但是08年的时候,当美国精英再一次选择以瞒骗,以诱哄的手段来处理他们系统性的矛盾时,我就知道,事情无可挽回了。

即使如此,我还是抱着那么一点的希望,奥巴马上台后,有一些人,会从现在这条道路上矫正过来。但是现实再一次打脸。到了美国民众,他们终于知道事情不对了,但是他们还是不知道到底有多么的离谱。(你到底看过他们的八项要求了么?真的。与其看这些sob stories,你不如看看他们的认知只到了什么程度。)

你把个人的悲剧放大,每一个人都很惨。同为人类,这些都很容易触发我们的同情心。这是为何在西方语体里,正义女神要把眼睛蒙上。只是,在我更早就听到了那些更加“惨”的故事,更甚者,那些震耳欲聋的沉默之后,我看着这些拿着卡片的一张张影象,我第一个想法就是,too late,too little。

我已经不抱任何希望了,我只能对他们寄予祝福:他们的觉醒,能够种下他们转机的种子。至于我,我的能力所及,我只能对自己的民族负责。至少对我们的国家,对我们这个民族,我还抱有那么一点希望。

这个话题过于沉重。此文后不再详叙。
