Iraqi Newspaper (Al Thawrah) A different perspective...

Unread post

To Protect the International CredibilityExpect this to be a rough translation.Mohammed Khair JamaliAmong positive atmospheres of cooperation from Iraq and among international optimism to solve the Iraqi issue by political way to lift the unfair sanctions imposed on Iraq, the international committees of inspection started their works to implement the international resolutions 1441.Iraq cooperates with the committees of inspection. There is an international optimism re the success of the task to end the Iraqi file. Iraq has done its best to provide the reasons of the said success by its acceptance of the Security Council resolution and its readiness to cooperate with the teams of inspection. Different to all of the above mentioned, the policy of arrogance and provocation practiced by the administration of the American president George Bush using different ways including the continuity of the American threats to attack Iraq and to go on preparing this possible attack. The American policy emerges as a source of concern and fear to the entire world. It unveils the American intension to attack Iraq using the excuse of the Iraqi possession of mass-destructive weapons hidden from the committees of inspection otherwise the war is ready to start.It is noticed that the American administration deals with the Iraqi affairs as it were the source to solve and define the mechanic of performance of the said committees. America ignores the fact that the only source of these matters is Security Council represented by its permanent and non-permanent members. It is not of the rights of any state to talk by the name of Security Council or to explain falsely its resolutions different to their spirit and essence of the principles on which they based. Perhaps, such explanation is harmonized with the interests of one country, as it is the case with the American wrong explanation of the resolution 1441. America changes the said resolution into a cover to what is called zone of prohibition imposed by America and Britain in the Iraqi atmospheres. The secretary general of UN refuted the American wrong explanation saying that the mentioned resolution does not include zone of prohibition. Yet, the response of Iraq on the American-British air attacks is not a violation of the mentioned resolution.The goal of the American interests based on aggression, inclusion and control on the wealth of the region. America is doing its best to inhale to the world that Iraq possesses mass destructive weapons. So, Iraq has to admit that to deliver them to inspectors otherwise, America will lead an international coalition against it. That's why the falcons of Washington are looking for an excuse to implement their hidden plans against Iraq.Such a policy is based on continuous threats to strike Iraq ignoring the role of the international Security Council. This matter will never be a positive factor to facilitate the work of inspectors nor to provide the suitable atmosphere to solve the Iraqi issue by peaceful ways. How could this solution come to the real ground while America is going on mobilizing the world? America uses the delusion of the Iraqi danger trying to attract the NATO alliance added to some countries to its side in the war it is preparing for as if it were to happen tomorrow. It is strange that the American policy depends on a delusive proposal for its excuse and threats on Iraq since the previous committees of inspection proved that it has no mass-destructive weapon. At the same time, America is ignoring that Israel possesses these weapons with dangerous kinds and quantities on the region and the entire world. Therefore, the American policy is politically blind to see the danger and its real sources. It is captive to revealed duality causing anger, disgust and condemnation. If it is internationally required to solve the Iraqi issue by diplomatic and political ways, Security Council has to practice its role as an only source of the committees of inspection. Security Council has to ask America to stop its threats contradicted with the essence of the resolution 1441. Security Council should make the inspectors understand that there is no authority with any control on them except UN. It has to prepare to talk about the most dangerous issue in the world on its agenda. This issue is about the Israeli nuclear, chemical and biologic weapons to avoid adopting the policy of dual standards the same as America lost its credibility before the entire world because of the said policy.Translated by editor:Amal Suleiman Ma'roufI woke up way too early this morning and started surfing the web. The search that brought me to this site was "Iraqi newspaper." Being a skeptic I am always searching for alternative means of explaining things, including what the media broadcasts in the United States, and this article is taken from the Iraqi newspaper "Al Thawrah." You'll have to overlook the rough translation and not allow that to be a hinderance to you reading and gaining and appreciation for the Iraqi perspective.I am by no means an Iraqi sympathizer - I am a human sympathizer. All people deserve basic rights and to be heard. I just hope that our nation produces evidence of these weapons of mass destruction prior to taking military action. As Bloom says in "The Lucifer Principle" all empires fall. The US empire will someday crumble too. This is inevitable.Our actions today serve as the elements of errosion that will someday undermine the foundation of our empire. I doubt that you and I...or our kids, will be alive to see the collapse of the US empire, but then again, who would have predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union?Chris O'Connor
