5nd June 2004:
Interview with Margot R. Main.
Margot R. Main is an American lady currently residing in New York City.
Margot comes from a legal background and is a great supporter of the
Kurds and Kurdish issue and is active in KurdishMedia.com.
When did you first hear about the Kurds and how?
In 1991 when American news reported on the uprising in Northern Iraq by
Iraqi Kurds and the subsequent “no fly zone” that was enforced by NATO.
Where is Kurdistan?
Smack dab in the middle of a rock and a hard place; S. Turkey, N. Iraq,
Syria and Iran, up to the tip of Armenia.
Briefly, what do you know about Kurdistan, its history and itâ^À^Ùs
people?
Briefly? Well, I am a writer!
To hide and protect the most beautiful women in the world from
vengeful deities; in the beginning, angles gathered the most beautiful
women from all over the planet and hid them in the mountains of
Kurdistan. The angels blessed the land and chose the original Kurdish
tribe (Yezidis) to protect these beautiful women. Itâ^À^Ùs from
these beautiful women Kurds were born. This is why all Kurdish women
are beautiful and why Kurdish men respect and adore beautiful women
today.
However, this theory of origination may also help to explain why Kurds
have been continually persecuted for over 7,000 years. Originally,
the fighting began when Arabs and Turks tried to steal the beautiful
women away from the Kurds. The Kurds fought them off and forever
sealed the trust of the beautiful women. However, over time Arabs
and Turks became increasingly jealous that all the beautiful women
in the entire world chose to remain with their “guardian angels” –
the Kurds. This jealousy eventually turned to racism then later to
full-on rage and hate.
As the years wore on the fighting continued. Kurds began to use
ever more of their blessed resources to effectively do their duty to
protect their beautiful women. Unfortunately, the resources started
to become scarce and the Kurdish men become vulnerable to the plague
of “inferiority complex”. The beautiful women, having sealed their
trust to Kurds, committed themselves to fighting this plague that
was eating their Kurdish protectors alive.
They began to take up arms and weapons and help protect the land
that housed their guardians who had protected them from vengeful
deities thousands of years earlier. The Kurds (who now included all
the Kurdish descendants of the world â^À^Ùs most beautiful women)
became forever bound to themselves and their land. They took a vow
to protect each other and the land the angels had blessed for them
thousands of years earlier. This vow was heard by the angels and
demonstrated the depth of commitment by the Kurds. However, even
though the angels approved, they knew to bless the Kurds with even
more physical beauty and strength would be to increase the hate and
jealousy of Turks and Arabs. Thus, the angels blessed the Kurds hearts
with an abundance of compassion, empathy and love.
And that is why the Kurds are the most beautiful souls on the planet
today.
Today, Kurds stand strong in the face of opposition; but, also,
know when to yield to not completely destroy the land.
What is you opinion about the Kurdish issue and how to you propose
it to be resolved? In a series of steps. The first step will be the
inclusion of Kurd Federalism in the New Iraq Constitution/Transitional
Law. The second step will be the establishment of Kurdistan as a
protectorate of either the US, NATO or a shared protectorate US/EU. The
third and final step will be the final establishment of a Kurdistan
and an independent nation.
Where you for or against the war in Iraq?
Way FOR!
Do you blame U.S foreign policy for the problems in Iraq and the
Middle East?
No. U.S. foreign policy is developed and encouraged by and with the
consent of Middle East “leaders” and Europe.
Whatâ^À^Ùs your view on the current situation in Iraq e.g. violence
and killings in Falluja?
Iraq has a lot of problems that Iraq has to work out. Itâ^À^Ùs
easier to hate a faceless America than it is to try to get along with
your neighbours.
