UNDILAH PAS DAN BARISAN ALTERNATIF
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is really happening in Iraq?
The Americans and their faithful allies, the British, are committing
war crimes, attacking a sovereign state outside the auspices of the
UNO. Since there have been civilian casualties, these are war crimes
by definition.
But aren�t they helping the people by freeing Iraq?
Freeing Iraq, under whose authority? How do you explain the fact that
the Shi�ite south, which was supposed to welcome the �liberators� with
open arms, has not risen up against the regime?
They�re too frightened.
That is not the impression the TV crews are getting. They started by
interviewing people in ths streets, asking them what they thought of
Saddam Hussein. Every one of them said �Good, Saddam Good!� or �Saddam
like God� or some such. The reporters started to say that in a
dictatorship everyone was forced to say that but then they stopped
making the interviews because everyone was saying the same thing.
But that was in Baghdad.
No, it was in the Shi�ite south, you know, those guys who are supposed
to hate Saddam. Further north the support for him is just the same.
But the Americans want to give them a democracy.
What if they don�t want a democracy based on the western model ?
Look at the map, read it. How many countries in that area have
western-style democracies? If there was a free election today,
Saddam Hussein would be elected, if he�s alive.
If he�s alive? But I saw him on TV.
Yes, but which one? He has three doubles you see. There are rumours
that he died four years ago, of cancer. One of the last shots of him
was supposed to be a feeble old man with his hands shaking as he was
trying to light a cigar. They couldn�t have kept that going for four
years! Couldn�t they? Wouldn�t that just be Saddam�s last laugh?
Well the Iraqis will be better off anyway. They�re all starving.
No they aren�t. The government has been very skilful in making sure
they�re properly fed despite the sanctions.
But the regime ruined Iraq.
No, it didn�t. Sanctions did. You see, the sanctions were supposed to
prise Saddam Hussein from power. There has been a grand design on
Iraq�s oil for a long time. The Gulf War was started as a pretext to
topple Saddam Hussein from power, only he proved too powerful.
Hang on, the Gulf War was caused by Saddam invading Kuwait.
After Kuwait had been warned many times to cease its practice of
cross-drilling, stealing Iraq�s oil resources. They were given a
final warning before the invasion, which they refused to listen to.
The result was the invasion to protect the Iraqi economy, things were
not exactly as they were presented.
So it�s been the Americans all along?
Quite. First they armed Saddam Hussein to the teeth, then when he was
getting too powerful, they provoked the Gulf War, then they fomented
the revolt by the Shi�ites and Kurds, which didn�t work, so they had
to leave them to die. The sanctions didn�t work The weapons inspections
didn�t work. After the inspectors were expelled for spying, the USA
ad one final attempt. Thinking the Iraqi regime wouldn�t allow the
inspectors back in, they prepared a coup de teatre in the Securoty
Council. The regime did allow the inspectors back in. They found
nothing. Frustrated by this and dying to start the war before the
weather conditions made it impossible, they had to go in, without
any justification and outside international law.
So they destroy the country and then claim they�re the good guys
by building it up again?
That�s right. And guess whose company gets the lion�s share of the
oil contracts?
