Yankees Go Home! NOW! That is the only possible first step to start clearing the mess in Iraq. Idiots pretend that if the U.S. and British occupiers would leave immediately, Iraq would be plunged into a civil war. This is a blatant lie and a convenient excuse to prolong the occupation and the slaughter.
“The way you end a slaughter is by no longer feeding it. […] the foreign occupation of Iraq by American and British troops is feeding the violence. Iraq is not on the “edge of civil war”. It is in the midst of it,” wrote Alexander Cockburn on the CounterPunch website. Damn right he is.
What happened in Baghdad recently?
- Shia fighters kidnapped 150 Sunni officials at the Ministry of Higher Education.
- Sunni attacked the Ministry of Health, controlled by the Shia.
- Sunni car bombs killed more than 200 people in Sadr City, the worst single atrocity since the war began in March 2003.
- Shia militia burned down Sunni mosques and went on a rampage in a Sunni district.
- More civilians were killed in October than in any other previous month.
Iraq’s prime minister Nuri Al-Maliki is a dead duck, just like Bush. The two want to meet in Jordan, but Moqtada al-Sadr has warned he will pull his representatives out of the government if al-Maliki meets Bush. The Iraqi PM is equally doomed if he doesn’t meet Bush, because he will be seen as capitulating to al-Sadr. Which means the Iraqi government, which only ruled over the Green Zone anyway under the watchful eye of the U.S. military, is finished.
Step One to a solution: Yankees Go Home!
