What do you think this poem is about?

The Last Time I Was Raped

i have been raped many times
during the history of
my 3rd world mid-eastern existence
but it was the last time i was raped
gang-raped "democratically" in the desert really
that many others
mainly western powers
claiming to have been molested once or twice by terrorists
who collectively said "i really deserved it"
deserved... what Germany did to France
when the fatherland entered Paris
during WW2 without force or condoms
and she volunteers
to peacefully pull her dress up and "underwear" down
as if... the invasion wasn't gonna hurt
like it hurt Poland
not knowing what the future held for both
their attacker
when the Russians molested most of
the ladies of Berlin
who were "lying" on their backs butt naked
about not being Nazis
before all of Germany surrendered

when i was raped in 2003
it wasn't even the last time
i would be attacked by foreign soldiers & fighter jets
with "weapons of mass destruction" for eight years
from the west
bringin' no Preparation-H to ease the pain
from what Saddam had already done
to his own people
especially the Kurds with poisoned gas

what "Operation Iraqi Freedom" meant
when the Americans started bombin' Baghdad
i had no idea about
until the western powers that invaded Iraq
revealed that if you turned your back
on providing proper sanitation in the middle east
for desert sheep or mountain goats
and had no nuclear bomb
your country was liable to become
a big whole in the ground for Camels to 'dump' in
and nowhere near the "cradle of civilisation"
after war was declared
that many American politicians
saw as the beginning of Iraq's re-building
and dismantling of one man's one party rule
that pumped oil to America
and banked billions in Switzerland

when the war started
i /knowed not /why
as the International Community
masquerading as the U.N.
raped me every day with lies
about the whys and reasons
i'm continuously bleeding from the behind
every time the President of the United States says
"he's doin' me a favour"
when i know it's America's military contractors too
and not just foreign legions
who really refuse
to remove their finger out of my azz
every time i tried to deny Burger King's request
to franchise and feed Muslim people
Goat Burgers and Camel-Toed fries

as America raped me
England watched and also helped
like many international others
who knew Iraq's valuable resources
was one of the reasons
bombs and bullets was raining on Muslims
and the women "violated" every time foreign soldiers
searched under their veils and burqas
for I.U.D's or state owned hidden treasures

i have been raped many times
by foreign invaders exporting democracy
and have the foreign aid of hemorrhoids
to prove i never liked what war imported.
