How Israel Can "Fix" Iraq

[Cheetah786]

Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge. ~Churchill

“In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers bury their sons.” ~Croesus

Even the President of the United States has acknowledged that things are “bad” in Iraq. The United States chose to invade Iraq believing that the Iraqis would toss roses at our feet and abandon Sharia Law which has served them well for hundreds of years in favor of democracy.

It is time for the United States to recognize some fundamental facts about Islam.
"Take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of God; then if they turn away seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take no friend nor helper from among them" ~ Sura 4:89

At the death of the Prophet Mohammed -- who was the founder of Islam -- a schism developed between Sunnis and Shiites over the legitimate successor to Mohammed. In the West this schism might be compared to the split between the Catholic Church and the Protestants which results in hundreds of years of warfare between European nations.

The depth of this schism between Shiites and Sunnis must not be underestimated and ought to be used to the advantage of the United States. In the Koran there are indeed admonitions to the faithful Moslem to attack the Crusader (Christian) and the Jew but more importantly the Prophet Mohammed condemned the Apostate as a greater threat than either Crusader or Jew.

Approximately 85% of all Muslims are Sunni and Sunnis are the dominate population of Saudis Arabia, Egypt and most other Arab nations. Sunnis are also the majority in non-Arab Turkey and Afghanistan. Sunni Muslims constitute most of the Palestinian Muslim population.

Iran is the only nation with an overwhelmingly dominate Shiite population. Iraq, Lebanon and Bahrain have large Shiite populations. The mixture of Sunni and Shiite populations in Iraq and Lebanon and the fact that they view each other as Apostates goes along way in explaining the insurgent violence these respective countries.

One other advantage the United States should take advantage of is that while Arabic is the predominate language on the Arabian Peninsula it is not the language of Iran or Afghanistan. It is very difficult for our enemies to fight us effectively when they cannot speak the same language to each other.

A map of the Middle East prior to the United States pre-emptive war with Iraq will show that Saddam Hussein (a Sunni) when in control of Iraq presented a buffer that protected the Shiites of the Arabian Peninsula and Israel from the Shiite dominated Iran from taking over Iraq and Lebanon and threatening the entire Arabian Peninsula and Israel.

"International incidents should not govern foreign policy, but foreign policy, incidents” ~ Napoleon
The tragedy of the United States first pre-emptive or war of choice is that in geopolitical terms the United State broke what was not broken. Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaida with support from the Taliban in Afghanistan attacked the United States and not Saddam Hussein.

As a matter of fact, Osama hated Saddam Hussein. When Kuwait was invaded by Saddam, Osama told the Saudis not to allow U.S. military bases on the Arabian Peninsula to evict Saddam from Kuwait but instead volunteered his mujahideen forces to defeat Saddam. Osama is a Sunni but he is a devout Sunni who detests the secular Sunni Saddam Hussein. As a Sunni Osama also has an antipathy towards the Shiite Iran. The Saudi Arabian refusal to accept Osama’s offer prompted Osama’s move to Afghanistan from Saudi Arabia. It also cemented his hatred of the United States since in the Koran Mohamed prohibits the establishment of any foreign military forces on the Arabian Peninsula.

“A single death is a tragedy, are million deaths is a statistic.” ~Joseph Stalin

Yes, Saddam is an unsavory character but no more than Josef Stalin who was an invaluable ally to the United States in defeating Nazi Germany. Americans forget that Saddam made his bones in fighting Iran from 1980-1988. It was Saddam who fought the Ayatollah Khomeini and even used chemical weapons against Iran with the encouragement of the United States. Saddam hated Israel but he hated the Apostate Iranians even more. This is fundamental to understanding how to “fix” Iraq.

“Force is the midwife of every old society pregnant with a new one” ~Karl Marx

The United States will never win in Iraq using its current mode of fighting without the use of overwhelming force i.e. the firebombing of Baghdad and Fallujah or by giving billions in economic reconstruction aid before the enemy and the enemy population has surrendered.

The United States must reestablish a buffer between the Arabian Peninsula including Iran.

To do this the United States must reinstate a Sunni strongman to bring order to Iraq and stand up against Iran. Of course this would bring us full circle back to the geopolitical position prior to the U.S. intervention of troops in Iraq. While an eminently practical solution militarily, it would be a difficult pill for the Bush Administration and the American public to swallow.

There is a second option which though considered incorrigible by the Muslim world might need to be accepted by the Sunnis of the Middle East when confronted with the prospect of facing domination by the Apostate Iranians.

Why does the United States need to fight and die in Iraq to protect Israel? This is the daring question that American foreign policy must face.

“It was in our power to cause the Arab governments to renounce the policy of strength toward Israel by turning it into a demonstration of weakness.” ~ Moshe Dayan

The United States is spending billions and having thousands of its soldiers dieing and being maimed protecting Israel while Israel receives billions in economic aid from the United States and is not investing any of its blood in Iraq.

If the United State cannot establish a situation in Iraq where the Iraqis step up so the United States can step down then it is time for Israel to step up so the United States can step down.

Israel has the 5th largest army in the world and is a nuclear power. Its air force and navy dwarfs that of all the Arab nations combined. Surely they can defend themselves and they would be justified.

They have been attacked by the Shiite dominated Hezbollah of Lebanon but they retreated from Lebanon after only short time of fighting. They did not even attain their most minimal goal of the release of their soldiers who were taken hostage.

The fact that their soldiers have not been released by Hezbollah justifies a Declaration of War by Israel against Lebanon. An attack and invasion of Lebanon with overwhelming force by Israel against Lebanon would destroy Hezbollah and establish a satellite State of Lebanon which would constitute a new buffer against potential Iranian aggression. It would also allow Israel to establish Air Force bases closer to Iran from which they could attack Iranian nuclear facilities.

Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the entire Arabian Peninsula would howl bloody murder over this Israeli “aggression” but confronted with the possibility of Iranian domination Israel would be accepted as the lesser of two evils.

With the Israeli military established in Lebanon as a deterrent to Iranian aggression into Iraq the Iraqis would be forced to either make peace with each other or to kill each other.

"It is of course well known that the only source of war is politics -- the intercourse of governments and peoples. . . . We maintain . . . that war is simply a continuation of political intercourse, with the addition of other means.” ~ Clausewitz

The United States would then be free to focus on the destruction of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The United States invaded Iraq chasing illusory Weapons of Mass Destruction but it is a know fact that members of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban are in Afghanistan and northwestern Pakistan.

With the United States occupied in Iraq the government of Pakistan has felt free to negotiate a treaty with the warlords of northwestern Pakistan in which the Pakistani government agrees not to send troops into northwestern Pakistan to attack Al-Qaeda or the Taliban. At the same time Pakistan who President Bush refers to as an “ally” amazingly refuses to allow U.S. troops into northwestern Pakistan to attack our known enemies. Freed from Iraq, the United States can place new focus upon Osama Bin Laden and his supporters and follow the advice of Lewis Carroll: “Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop.”

(so from this article divide and rule continues that slavery under israel is a good option for muslims but God forbid iranians are bad news:wall: .option given is take israel as the saviour )
