Witness

'I hate the Americans' says 10yo Eman
who saw her family blown away
in Haditha
by US Marines
at close range
execution-style
to the head and chest
while praying and crying
in their night clothes
                                       'I hate them' she says
they were angry and shouting
pumped with bloodlust
psyched for sorrow
                     and large exit wounds

'the whole world hates them'
