Realism vs. Fanaticism
Iraq
at the End of the Year
By SAUL LANDAU
MEDIA:
Yippee, "we got `em!" The Dow
will soar! Forget the anxious two years since George W. Bush
assumed his throne! That's history!
REALITY:
The dismissal of history does not help
anyone understand the present or plan for the future.
RECENT HISTORY:
Almost ten months after Bush invaded
Iraq, seven months after his "mission accomplished"
speech-photo op on the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, and
one month and many deaths after his Thanksgiving plastic turkey
pose in Baghdad, the President faces serious problems. According
to the military newspaper, Stars and Stripes, half the soldiers
"questioned described their units' moral as low and their
training as insufficient and said they did not plan to reenlist."
In an article by Dana Milbank (December 12, Washington Post)
"the cheering soldiers who met him [Bush] were pre-screened
and others showing up for a turkey dinner were turned away,"
because they had not been "pre-selected" by their officers.
Milbank quotes Sgt. Loren Russell, who
imagined "their dismay when they walked 15 minutes to the
Bob Hope Dining Facility,  only to find that they were turned away
from their evening meal because they were in the wrong unit.
. . . They understand Bush ate there and that upgraded security
was required. But why were only certain units turned away?"
Capturing the big, bad witch and grabbing
a turkey photo op presents a flimsy façade for Bush's
failure to define policies that will prevent Iraq from turning
into a Vietnam style scenario. Each week, US troops get picked
off -- killed or wounded -- by guerrillas, not directed by Saddam,
who then merge into the general population.
Bush, like most alcoholics even those
who stopped drinking rarely admit to causing messes. They assume
others will clean up after them. History, their own, their nation
and its worldly relations, becomes a pit of undesirable memories
for some addicts. Better to look to the 2004 elections for lessons!
VIETNAM/IRAQ:
Three decades ago, Congress defunded
the Vietnam War, having learned the painful lesson of "exporting
our order" by force through surrogate exiles. The US-chosen
Vietnamese President, Ngo Dinh Diem, or Bush's choice for the
Iraqi governing council, Ahmad Chalabi, Diem's reincarnation,
will not cut the proverbial mustard.
Chalabi, an Iraqi exile who spent much
of his adult life in the West telling the powerful what they
wanted to hear, finally resides in Baghdad, awaiting under heavy
security -- his anointment as next leader of Iraq. He should
recall how by 1963 Washington had soured on Diem and had a hand
in his assassination when he refused to follow orders. The understudy
always stands in the wings, the one willing to accommodate. By
1967, Washington had replaced Diem with Nguyen Van Thieu, who
willingly cooperated in the defoliation of his own country and
the slaughter of some 2 plus million countrymen and women.
The Vietnam War came replete with moralistic
and a-historical babble about "bringing democracy"
to the region; in action, this missionary rhetoric evolved into
backing whatever corrupt tough guy willing to follow murderous
US orders.
Vietnam and Iraq both emerged from colonial
rule. Today, Iraqis have a national identity, albeit the religious
and ethnic groups may struggle internally for power. The Bushies,
however, fearful of US combat deaths staining their election
campaign, consider re-Ottomizing Iraq into regions.
What has history to do with the 2004
elections? In the 20th Century alone, wrote Simon Jenkins (December
8 Sydney Times), US and British meddling in Iraqi affairs "have
made a mess of this nation. They owe it the least blood-spattered
path they can fashion to whatever the future has in store."
A few incidents illustrate the perfidy
and duplicity of the democracy missionaries. T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence
of Arabia) convinced Arab leaders that if by helping England
defeat Turkey during World War I, Westminster would provide them
with an independent Arab state. The 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement,
however, replaced the Ottomans alright, but with European bosses.
The revolution that Lawrence had helped inspire, however, continued
as Arabs and Kurds reacted to the imperial betrayal. European
democracies responded with brute force. In 1925, for instance,
the British Air Force dropped poison gas on Sulaimaniya, a Kurdish
village in Iraq. In 1919, Winston Churchill had already approved
of using such weapons of mass destruction against resisting Kurds
and Afghans.
"I do not understand this squeamishness
about the use of gas," Churchill had. "I am strongly
in favor of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes...
It is not necessary to use the most deadly gasses; gasses can
be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread lively
terror..." (quoted in Noam Chomsky's World Orders Old and
New, 1994).
US leaders also availed themselves of
the new European arrangement to collect for their entrance into
World War I. They got almost one quarter of Iraqi oil. Indeed,
Iraq got none of its oil until its 1958 revolution against colonial
power. By that time, the United States had staged a CIA coup
in Iran (1953) and fashioned the Baghdad Pact (1955), with their
regional allies (clients) -- Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and
England, the junior partner. Washington fashioned military alliances
-- CENTO-Central Treaty Organization, to stop liberation movements
in the Middle East and south Asia; NATO, SEATO and ANZUS -- to
stop revolution or liberation in the third world. The British
had installed King Faisal in Iraq to protect their oil and the
Americans retained the corrupt monarch until 1958 when an Iraqi
military revolt turned into a revolution replete with the nationalization
of oil.
But Americans don't concede their "property"
easily. By 1972, Washington began to supply military support
rightist Kurds intent on toppling the revolutionary government.
The CIA also mounted a counterrevolutionary plan in 1974, but
when the ruling, nationalist Ba'ath Party attacked and murdered
members of Iraq's Communist Party and Communist influenced trade
unions, Washington applauded.
The U.S. provided military help to Iraq
in its 1980s war against Iran, although in his Memoirs Henry
Kissinger maintained that Washington wanted both countries decimated.
Indeed, a secret national security group sold missiles to Iran
in the 1980s to fund a counterrevolution in Nicaragua.
The 1991 Gulf War and the ensuing anti-Saddam
sanctions, made possible in large part by the implosion of the
USSR, carried US-Iraqi hostility into the present.
FANATICS IGNORE HISTORY
Those with memories and understanding
of the "limits" of imperial power have begun to look
for a dignified exit. One apparent convert to the "get-out-quick"
line, US administrator in Baghdad, Paul Bremer, concluded that
the fanatics who promoted the war and promised that Iraqi would
love us as occupiers, have little grasp of reality. National
Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice also appears to have accepted
the Bremer line.
At the Pentagon, however, Defense Secretary
Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, still cling to
their "bringing democracy to Iraq" dream -- before
taking it to Iran and Syria.
Imperial conservative and liberal columnists
like William Safire and Thomas Friedman of the NY Times have
fed the Administration's propaganda calls for winning Iraqi "hearts
and minds." The worried with good reason 82nd Airborne and
4th Infantry soldiers in Iraq "win" these organs by
shooting Iraqis in cars, walking on the street or anywhere else
they sense a threat. By November, Bremer flew to Washington,
reporting that he did not foresee a rapid transition to elections
and that a July withdrawal under acceptable pretexts would best
serve the President's re-election campaign. But the US-guided
governing council has not proven viable. Instead of the promise
of a better life under US occupation, chaos and disorder reign
inside their halls as in the streets.
Even the missionary Friedman expressed
his doubts in the December 14 NY Times. "I fear we have
a president who is setting the broad guidelines, above a squabbling
bureaucracy and a divided alliance - and no one is cracking heads.
You can't succeed in a place as difficult as Iraq without a workable
plan to produce a broad-based government and without a unified
team at home and abroad to execute it."
REALISM V. FANATACISM
The fanatics sing "ding dong the
witch is dead," celebrating Saddam's capture; the "realists"
return to Saddam's governance model. Some talk of dismembering
Iraq à la the Ottoman Empire regions, which will not receive
the blessings of either the "international community"
or the Arab world; or find a new Saddam-like strongman to hold
it together. The longer the occupation drags on, the more Iraq
will stand as a symbol for the injustice felt by tens of millions
of Arabs and Muslims.
Inside Iraq, leaders of the majority
Shias, who squirmed under the Sunni-led order, see their opportunity
to institute an Islamic state, not an Ayatollah-Iranian model,
but close enough to frighten Americans.
But immediate fear derives from the occupation
itself. The unemployed, the resentful, the vengeance seekers,
alongside new leaders in the underground Ba'ath party have forged
a resistance to US occupation, just as the occupiers have "privatized"
Iraq: another road to chaos. Bremer seeks a strongman among the
exiled politicians who feud and maneuver for control in post
US Baghdad.
Bush proclaimed with certainty that Saddam
will not regain power. He should have added that resisting Iraqis
will continue to wage war against the occupiers. But why bum
people out before the New Year.
