Dr. Khair El-Din Haseeb
Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like first to thank Dr. Michael Hudson for inviting me to talk to you this evening, and also to thank the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies. There are certain aspects of the invasion of Iraq which probably most of you know. It was an illegal war; there was no decision from the Security Council. It can't be justified by Chapter Seven of the United Nation’s charter as self-defense because Iraq didn't attack the United States, and didn't constitute an imminent danger for the United States, so there was no justification for the preemptive war. No weapons of mass destruction were there; no link with Al-Qaeda terrorists was proven. Lastly, they said it was about democracy, to make a model of democracy in Iraq, which was to be initiated in the Middle East........
First, there was the looting of Baghdad, starting with the National Museum, in other words, the looting of Iraqi history and records, regardless of who got hold of them.
Second, the dissolution of the Iraqi army and the release of hundred of thousands of Iraqi soldiers is simply the dissolution of the main instrument for keeping law and order in the country and leaving soldiers without work, which encouraged many of them to join the resistance.
Then there was the de-Baathification of all government employees at all levels, regardless of which administration they were. This meant the paralysis of the official administration, schools, etc., which left a great vacuum, as well as hatred and a reduction in the level of already deteriorating services for Iraqis.
Read the whole article from this website. it is one of a few great options i have seen presented from Iraqi to solve the problem of the occupation going forward to freedom.
no freedom loving person free of bias would disagree with him.
