-Caveat Lector- With Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in the cross-hairs, a new threat looms on the horizon � his replacement. It is time we considered who will fill the vacuum Hussein presently occupies. What kind of man will be right for the new Iraq?
Iraq is an impoverished, isolated, and fearful state of oppressed majorities and minorities alike, waiting patiently for the next president whose grasp on his contempt for the world exceeds his grasp of reality. They want a president incapable of differentiating between cultures. They want a man who can appreciate the PR value of holding a rifle. They need a man who doesn't sleep around because he has to. They need Javier Solana. SANCTIONS. The Iraqi people want someone to stop UN sanctions. If their nation wants to annex another, they should have a leader strong enough and smart enough to head off UN efforts to stop them. They need someone furtive and clever enough to change the rules before the rules change them. They need someone who knows how to party in the 48 palaces built in Iraq since the Gulf War � palaces which cost poor Saddam over $2 billion. Iraq needs Javier Solana. NUTRITION. The United States has unfairly forced Iraq to trade $7.7 billion in oil for food, medicine, and infrastructure � all of which Iraq doesn't really need. Surpluses from the $3.7 billion in food, for instance, must be exported for hard cash, since the daily caloric value of the ration basket has been raised 50% by the UN. In contrast, child mortality in portions of the Iraq outside of UN control have doubled. These kids need guns, not food! Iraq needs a man who understands the expediency of putting a rifle in a kid's hand for political reasons. Iraq needs Javier Solana. APPROPRIATION. Iraq oil exports are at near prewar levels. $200 in Phase 5 of the oil-for-food program has been allocated � 60% was spent on medical equipment, and 40% on medicine. Nevertheless, the Iraqi people are still not better off, amidst widespread reports of health problems. Saddam has worked hard to bring in his own $6 billion fortune with oil and smuggling � one less mouth to feed. And yet thanks to his enemies, he can't enjoy his success enough to take a stroll in public. The Iraqis need a profiteer who isn't afraid to schmooze with them. Iraq needs Javier Solana. AMUSEMENT PARKS. In 1999, the Iraqi government spent hundreds of millions on an amusement park for government officials. Yet who can Iraqis rely on to maintain this resort for the government's elite when Saddam is gone? Iraq needs Javier Solana. EXECUTIVE DECISIONS. It takes quite a few strokes of the pen to rule Iraq. Over 2,500 prisoners have been executed since 1997. In only two decades, 3,000 Kurdish villages had to be destroyed. Nearly a million Kurdish and Turkomen citizens had to be displaced within Iraq recently, and local officials have to be employed to insure these individuals are refused employment, food, and shelter. The 1988-89 Anfal campaign cost Iraq dearly � 5,000 deaths in just one of a number of villages alone � chemical weapons on that scale can't be cheap. The Iraqis need a leader who will keep their people mobile across their great nation. They need a leader who is not afraid to handle matters of individual development � someone with their own vision of environmental development. Iraq needs Javier Solana. POLICY. It takes a tyrant to rule a nation. EU's unswerving devotion to liberal rather than conservative policy unfairly obscures the proactive career of Javier Solana. Javier Solana has unflinchingly implemented both conservative and liberal policy based on his own objectives while kissing the ass of the broader national political climate as needed. Iraq has spent 20 years under a dictator. Iraq needs a dictator with experience. Iraq needs Javier Solana. LEADERSHIP. Iraq is a complex nation that with a long, proud tradition of dictatorial politics. It needs a leader who both can inspire and propagate his own personal policies with stealth and ruthless efficiency, and without losing that veneer of good humor and affability. Iraq needs Javier Solana. ASSERTIVENESS. Iraq needs a leader who is not afraid to take charge. It needs a leader who can make a drinking buddy out of his boss while plotting his overthrow. Iraq needs a leader who is not afraid of backpedaling � a leader who can profess to outlaw weapons one minute and then re-arm the next. Iraq needs Javier Solana. POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT. Iraq still has far to go if it is to realize its dream of leading Arabs to victory over western oppression. Iraq needs a strong leader who answers to no one � and is smart enough to keep that fact hidden. Iraq needs Javier Solana. POLITICAL ACTION. International organizations don't understand what it takes to govern a place like Iraq. Sometimes sacrifices are necessary to maintain the peace. It needs a "take no prisoners" man of action in transparent sheep's clothing. It doesn't need inspections, questions, resolutions, and witnesses. It needs liberation. Even now, several other Arab nations are groaning beneath the weight of western oppression, and only Iraq, under the leadership of Saddam Hussein, has defied them. Who else has this kind of courage? Iraq needs Javier Solana. PRIDE. Oil-for-food contracts. Who needs them? Not Iraq. Iraq needs Javier Solana. CONTROL. The US would like to see the UN control funds from Iraqi oil sales. They want to deprive Iraq of its god-given right to defend itself from western oppression. Iraq doesn't need more sanctions. It needs someone who can play the game. Iraq needs Javier Solana. WEALTH. Iraq is a poor nation. Such a poor nation. The UN points to the $40 million or so he spends on building a palace, and yet have no idea what it costs to maintain 48 palaces � the poor man has become a refugee from his own success. He can't even spend a single night in his own homes. Like Saddam, Solana�s prosperity has created his own critics, jealous of the success he enjoys running everywhere from the Arabian countries to North Korea. The prosperity of the European Union organization under his direction speaks for itself. That's the kind of leadership that makes so many nations jealous of the organization called the European Union. That's the kind of leadership the poor Iraqi people need. Iraq needs Javier Solana. INITIATIVE. Forty kilometers west of Badgag stands the Mujahedin-e Khalq headquarters with lakes, farms, barracks, administrative buildings, and other facilities which can accommodate between 3,000 and 5,000 MEK members. The complex is a headquarters from which assassinations, terrorist attacks, and other activities are coordinated against Iran and other areas. The MEK (founded by Iranians) and their complex is a testament to good diplomacy and initiative on the part of Saddam Hussein and forward-thinking Arabs. Formerly headquartered in France, the MEK maintains a long and distinguished history of involvement in politics, including support of the 1979 U.S. Embassy takeover in Iran. But what will become of this fair institution and facility without a strong Iraqi leader? What will become of Arabs without Iraq? What will become of Iraq itself? Iraq needs a leader who will strengthen Iraq � a leader who understands that sometimes this means weakening others in the region. A leader who understands that to lead others, you must first weaken them. Iraq must be the one nation who unites Arabs into one big Mother of All Nations � with a blender, if needed. Iraq needs Javier Solana. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- He has the Mideast pretty much under his thumb now. It�s just that he has to come out in the open about it now so that we can all see what he stands for and taking over leadership of Iraq is the place that could best show his style.
