The Attack on Iraq from the Perspective of
a Serbian Woman
Spomenka Deretic (Journalist) Waiting for Death The first victim of the Anglo-American attack on Iraq was the Iraqi Belgrader Adnan. That night, sitting on his couch, in his home, in one of Belgrade's suburbs, he was watching TV. The announcer suddenly, in an agitated voice, anounced the news that the Americans had begun attacking Iraq. Adnan could see the first rockets hitting Baghdad and the city's grandiose buildings being transformed into ruins. It was at that moment that Adnan's heart simply stopped beating. We will never know for sure what Adnan was thinking about at that moment. Was he thinking about the injured Iraqi children? Or his sister (an english professor)? Or of his familly home? Or the brutal destruction of a beautiful city and an old, civilized people? Adnan often told his Serbian wife and his friends in Serbia that oil was a curse for Iraqis, not a source of wealth. Adnan believed that oil attracted today's rapacious conquerors, just as once, the fertile lands of Babylon - regulated by intricate canal systems - attracted conquerors and plunderers. The night before the Anglo-American attack on Iraq, Adnan was speaking with his sister who was still in Baghdad. Adnan's sister (the english professor), was telling him that she no longer closed the gate to their father's house. "We Iraqis" she said " wait every morning for only one guest now - DEATH" The Ninth Crusade The feudal rulers of Western and Central Europe led wars of
conquest against the lands and peoples of the Middle East for a whole
three-centuries (from the XIth to the XIVth). The Western and Central European
political elite of the middle wages wanted, so they said, to "liberate" Christ's
grave in Jerusalem from Muslim rule. This is why they called their soldiers
Crusaders and the "liberators" of Christ's grave. But those Europeans were, in
fact, really only a bunch of common criminals and thiefs. The Eigth Crusade led by these thieving Crusaders was initiated by his "Holiness" Louis IX. The Ninth Crusade was called "Freedom for Iraqis" and was led by George Bush II. The goals of both Lois the IXth and Bush the IInd were identical: the conquest of other countries and the plunder of other people's wealth. In the Middle Ages the justification for the killing of other peoples and the destruction of other nations was the "liberation" of Christ's grave. Today the justification for the destruction and looting of Iraq is the battle against "terrorism." In fact, the real terrorism is the destruction of the valuable material remains of old civilizations. In Iraq, at the turn of the 20th century, the German archeologist Kohldevey (sp?) uncovered physical evidence that confirmed Herodotus' accounts of the highly-developed nature of Babylonian culture. The Anglo-American pilots who bombed Al-Qasr were also bombing some of the oldest monuments of ancient Babylon. Until this month, one could find strucures that were at least 4000 years old in the region, with the Gate of the Godess Istar, decorated in the richest ways, one of the key surviving monuments of this glorious history. It would seem that when the Americans and British break through this gate - representative of all human civilization - they will build in its place a monument to the Marines and to the all-mighty Barrel of Oil instead. A Pyrrhic Victor for the Americans and the British The Americans and the British expected that they would easily occupy Iraq. They were suprised by the heroic resistance of the Iraqi people. They became frustrated and angry that the Iraqis were defending themselves and their own land. Bush the IInd and Blair the Ist's soldiers and rockets unceasingly rained-down on Iraqi cities and the Iraqi people in direct proportion to the people's resistance. They bombed Iraqi TV, just as NATO had bombed the workers of TV Belgrade four years ago [killing 14]. The Americans and the British have killed in the past few weeks alone over a thousand Iraqi civilians. Iraqi children injured in this assault will - if they survive - only remember the foreign soldiers that ripped apart their small bodies and brought to them unbearable pains and sufferings. For these Iraqi children, their torn limbs and shattered lives will never be restored by the small packets of "aid" brought to them by "humanitarian" organizations from the countries that bombed them. They know that for these foreign soldiers - that is to say for the Americans and the British - oil is much more valuable than the lives of Iraqi children. Anglo-American pilots unceasingly attacked Baghdad with powerful bombs, as "precisely" as NATO pilots had terrorized the people of Serbia around this time four years ago. We should remember that four years ago a precedent was established. The international community lacked the power to stop the aggression that was aimed, by this strange militaristic beast, at the people of Yugoslavia. The renewed assaults of this beast on the peoples of Afghanistan and Iraq, represent the logical continuation of the militarism that characterizes the modus operandi of the sole superpower on our planet. It is equally logical to conclude that the Americans will not
be satisfied solely with the conquest of Iraq and the plunder of its oil.
America feeds off of fear and becomes ever more dangerous through such
nourishment. It will soon want to swallow-up Syria and Iran as well. And
afterwards, whose turn will it be? Because of all the possible answers to that
one question, it would seem that the attack on Iraq represents the begining of
the end of Washington's absolute domination over this planet of ours. After the
attack on Iraq, America will no longer be the only super-power in this world.
The only thing is, the West has still not become aware of this
fact! ARTEL GEOPOLITIKA is a private, independent and
