First they invaded Iraq, but I said nothing because I wasn't an Iraqi.
Then they invaded Syria, but I wasn't Syrian and it wasn't my business.
Next they occupied Iran, but I wasn't Iranian so it didn't matter that much
to me.
Then it was Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Libya ... I was starting to get
concerned, but still I said nothing.
Through all this, the minor Arab states and Asian nations with
predominately muslim populations were being taken over, co-opted, or remade
in the "Western" image, but I felt no real kinship with those countries,
and anyway by then I was too afraid to speak out.
When the US finally decided it was our turn to be "liberated" and
"democratized" there were no Muslim nations left to come to our assistance.
We are all now effectively exiles in what used to be our home countries -
tenant serfs on lands that once were our own.
