Back to News Iraq's History and a Nightmare Threat Give Cause for War (August 29, 2002) This story was found at: http://www.smh.com.au/ In 1991, United States-led, United Nations-approved forces expelled Iraqi invaders from Kuwait and trounced Saddam's forces in a matter of days. By rights, they should then have dismantled his internally barbarous and externally destructive regime - or at least aided those Iraqis willing to do the job. They did neither, leaving Iraqi Kurds and Shias to their fate, hoping that a regime of UN sanctions and inspections could compel Saddam's disarmament. It didn't. Today, Iraq is the world's second-largest oil exporter after Saudi Arabia. UN inspectors have been barred from Iraq for four years and arms control experts say Saddam is rearming and seeking a nuclear weapon. Despite this, an assortment of arguments - legal, principled, strategic - are offered by opponents of US military action to overthrow Saddam's regime. The legalists warn of the paramount importance of non-interference in the internal affairs of states, as though repression and aggression concerned no-one; as though the UN Security Council had never called for the measures Saddam resists; and as though no modification to the doctrine of non-interference had even occurred. The NATO intervention in Yugoslavia, for example, in defence of Bosnian Muslims, is a recent demonstration of that modification. This could never have occurred under UN auspices. Russia would have vetoed Security Council action, just as Russia, China and France would be likely now to veto any action to enforce Iraqi compliance with measures it once authorised.

FAIR ACTION ALERT: Spying in Iraq: From Fact to Allegation September 24, 2002 Nothing makes a newspaper prouder than a juicy foreign-policy scoop. Except, it seems, when the scoop ends up raising awkward questions about a U.S. administration's drive for war. Back in 1999, major papers ran front-page investigative stories revealing that the CIA had covertly used U.N. weapons inspectors to spy on Iraq for the U.S.'s own intelligence purposes. "United States officials said today that American spies had worked undercover on teams of United Nations arms inspectors," the New York Times reported (1/7/99).  According to the  Washington Post (3/2/99), the U.S. "infiltrated agents and espionage equipment for three years into United Nations arms control teams in Iraq to eavesdrop on the Iraqi military without the knowledge of the U.N. agency."  Undercover U.S. agents "carried out an ambitious spying operation designed to penetrate Iraq's intelligence apparatus and track the movement of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, according to U.S. and U.N. sources," wrote the Boston Globe Each of the three news stories ran on the papers' front pages. At first, U.S. officials tried to deny them, but as more details emerged, "spokesmen for the CIA, Pentagon, White House and State Department declined to repeat any categorical denials" (Washington Post, 3/2/99). By the spring of 1999, the UNSCOM spying reported by the papers was accepted as fact by other outlets, and even defended; "Experts say it is naive to believe that the United States and other governments would not have used the opportunity presented by the U.N. commission to spy on a country that provoked the Persian Gulf War in 1991 and that has continued to tangle with U.S. and British forces," USA Today reported (3/3/99).

Maps Regions and Cities Home World Middle East Iraq History and Government History: Mesopotamia - the core of modern Iraq - was at the heart of the Sumerian, Babylonian and Assyrian empires between the seventh century BC and AD 100. After brief spells under the rule of the Romans and the Sassanids (a minor regional power at the time), the Arabs conquered Iraq in AD 633. The Arab Caliphate had control of the territory during the late 12th and early 13th centuries before being dislodged by the Mongols. At the end of the 14th century Iraq, Azerbaijan to the north, Persia and parts of Turkey, Syria and Transcaucasia were conquered and subsumed into the empire ruled by Timur (also known as Tamerlane). The Turks were the next imperial invaders, ruling from the early 1500s until the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I. In 1920, Iraq was placed under a League of Nations mandate administered by the UK, whose forces had occupied most of the country. The Hashemite Amir Faisal ibn Hussain, brother of the new ruler of neighbouring Jordan, Abdallah, was proclaimed King in 1921. The country achieved independence in 1932, but British forces intervened once again in 1941 to prevent a pro-Nazi coup. British troops were finally withdrawn in 1947. In 1958, the Hashemite Dynasty was overthrown by a group of radical army officers inspired by the example of Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt, and led by Brigadier Abdul al-Karim Kassem. The new regime failed to consolidate its position, however, and relied on a precarious coalition of forces which quickly disintegrated.

Foreign Correspondent INSIDE TRACK ON WORLD NEWS IRAQ'S HISTORY IS WRITTEN IN BLOOD Aug. 2, 2002 The Bush Administration's plans to invade Iraq and install a client regime in Baghdad may be popular in America, but to the outside world they increasingly recall old-fashioned British imperialism. If Administration hawks studied Iraq's gory history, they would learn it ranks among the most disastrous and tragic creations of Britain's colonial policy, and offers a grim reminder of what Bush's planned `regime change' in Baghdad may bring At the end of World War I, the victorious British and French fell like wolves on the rotting carcass of the defeated Ottoman Empire. After promising Arabs independence, Britain betrayed them, dividing the ex-Ottoman Mideast into weak states run from London. Oil had recently been discovered at either end of the Fertile Crescent: in the north around Mosul in Kurdish tribal territory; and in southern marshes bordering Iran. To secure oil for the Royal Navy, Britain created Iraq and put a puppet king, Faisal, on its throne. Faisal was to have been made king of Syria, but France managed to snatch Syria away from Britain. To form Iraq, Britain knitted together three utterly disparate, mutually hostile regions: Kurdish tribal lands: the Sunni Muslim region around Baghdad, then a small city with a predominantly Jewish and Christian population: and the Shia south. The result was an unstable, artificial Frankenstein state - a Mideast Yugoslavia.

The program was created within the context of a statement on Iraq issued by Bishop Joseph A. Fiorenza of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) which called for "fresh thinking and new approaches" to the needs of the Iraqi people. Within that statement, concerns were voiced not only about the sanctions, but also about the ongoing air strikes against Iraq. This echoes repeated calls by Pope John Paul II and from the USCCB for reducing, reshaping and ending the economic sanctions against Iraq that have brought such suffering to its people.

In it they pledged to liberate Iraq and to facilitate the Iraq people's ability to choose their own government. "We support the aspirations of all of Iraq's people for a united, representative government that upholds human rights and the rule of law as cornerstones of democracy," they said. They added that "As early as possible, we support the formation of an Iraqi Interim Authority, a transitional administration, run by Iraqis, until a permanent government is established by the people of Iraq."

Ramsey Clark: Report to UN Security Council re: Iraq January 26, 2000 Permanent Mission of the United Kingdom to the United Nations Dear H.E. Sir Jeremy Greenstock, KCMG, A delegation of U.S. citizens from twenty states has just returned from Iraq. On January 17, we observed in Baghdad the 9 th Anniversary of the beginning of the January 17 - February 28, 1991. U. aircraft flew 110,000 aerial sorties against Iraq, averaging one every 30 seconds, dropping 88,500 tons of explosives, the equivalent of 7 l/2 Hiroshima bombs. This was by far the most intensive bombardment in history. It killed tens of thousands of people, injuring many more. Medicines and medical supplies were exhausted. It devastated water systems from reservoir, pumping station, pipeline, filtration plant to kitchen faucet as well as urban sewage and sanitation systems nationwide. Food production, processing, storage, distribution, and marketing facilities were widely destroyed. Poultry was nearly wiped out by loss of electricity and lack of grain. Animal herds were decimated. Fertilizer and insecticide plants and storage structures were destroyed. Communications systems, telephone, radio, TV, were shattered. Transportation was badly battered. Vital industries were attacked everywhere. Electric power was knocked out across the nation in the first 24 hours of the assault. Petroleum production, refining, storage and distribution from well to service station were attacked across the nation. The combined effect of this vast destruction of essential goods, services and industries with the most comprehensive economic sanctions of modern times, first imposed on Hiroshima Day, August 6, 1990, has caused more than a million and a half deaths.

Albright, speaking at a Jerusalem news conference after separate talks with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said: "The United States stands with you in the face of ...

Iraq escalates its war of words November 2, 1997 Web posted at: 12:00 a.m. EST (0500 GMT) UNITED NATIONS (CNN) Iraq has vowed that it will not retreat from its latest challenge to the United States, and accused the United Nations' chief weapons inspector of trying to browbeat the country. Richard Butler Nizar Hamdoon France, Russia and Jordan on Saturday called on Iraq to back down from its confrontation with the United Nations, but Baghdad stuck to its ban on U.S. participation in U.N. weapons inspections. The United Nations also refused to yield, insisting that all-nation inspections would resume Monday. "Iraq's action continues to be unacceptable," White House spokesman Barry Toiv, with President Clinton at Amelia Island, Florida, said Saturday. "We made it clear last night that Iraq cannot interfere with U.S. monitors." In Cairo, Egypt, the top U.S. general in the Persian Gulf said forces there are monitoring the situation with Iraq and are ready to take action if necessary. "U.S. forces ... are always ready," said Gen. Anthony Zinni, who commands U.S. forces in most of the Middle East. Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan said Saturday that Iraq will fight back if attacked: "Iraqis are used to military attacks."
