Repeating The Mistake, Intentionally!
24 Steps to Liberty

If a civil war were to happen in Iraq, "our Sunni brothers will be the
ones to lose the most."
That’s what Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, leader of the most powerful criminal
group in Iraq, The Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq,
said last week.
What a powerful, full of hidden and obvious meaning sentence that was. I
wonder how many hours or days he had to think about it to make it as
smooth as it sounded when he said it.
Now we turned into a new era in Iraq. It is time to go public and
threaten each other. Because you know what, the Unite States is, again,
backing this up.
When Abu Musa al-Zarqawi, the late leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, called
for an overall war against the Shiites in Iraq, the Iraqi government
spared no efforts to call him "a terrorist whose goal is to divide Iraq
and provoke a civil war." Most of the lawmakers in Iraq condemned what
Zarqawi said and called for Iraqis to unite.
Why when the poisonous turbaned snake, Hakim, publicly threatened his
"brothers" the Sunnis, the government did not oppose?
Why did not the devil-Mullah’s speech get enough publicity in Iraq to
give an idea what one of the country’s most powerful terrorist wants to
turn Iraq into?
What was a total strange coincidence is that what Hakim said came just a
few days before the White House leaked information about what the
administration intended to do next: Back the Shiites and Kurds, who make
about 80% of Iraq’s population, because that’s who you should care
about. And leave the Sunnis to themselves and to the mercy of the
Shiites.
When I read this in today’s Washington Post, I laughed. You know why?
Because in Iraq, we have a proverb that could be roughly translated into
"a huge catastrophe makes you laugh."
What did the American administration do in the early days of the
occupation in 2003? It was favoring the Shiites and Kurds and totally
ignoring the Sunnis.
What was the result?
A Sunni insurgency, which the Iraqis are still paying a high price for
and the Americans too.
Then what?
The American administration, after it was too late, realized that what
it’s done was wrong and that they should try to solve the problem.
How?
Include the Sunnis in the political process before the 2005 elections to
eventually be included in the government!
What happened?
Many Sunnis were already in prison, accused of insurgency. And their
families were angered by how the Iraqi government and the Americans
treated them. Many Sunni groups have already joined the insurgency an
were blacklisted, so they couldn’t join the political process. Many
Sunnis were threatened to be killed by insurgents if they participated
in the elections. And the result was a "national unity government" that
doesn’t include ONE member who would be willing to stay in Iraq and
help. When the members were threatened, they left!
Now, because the White House is under pressure to bring home the
American troops and to end the U.S. involvement in Iraq, suddenly the
first mistake of ignoring the Sunnis seems to be the best solution.
It would be very easy to show the world that Iraq is stable when the
media shows the Kurdish and Shiite leaders shaking hands on T.V. how can
I, as a journalist, compete with this image when I cannot go to Anbar,
Mosul, Tikrit, Diyala, Basra and other cities where the Sunnis are and
show how pissed off they are?
How can I compete with an image of Iraqi leaders smiling and kissing,
when I cannot go to the Sunni neighborhoods in Baghdad and talk to
people about how they feel?
The devil-Mullah, Hakim, threatened the Sunnis that they will be the
only losers if they opposed what will happen in the next three months.
[Empowering the Shiite militias to kill more Iraqis.] And then flew to
Amman-Jordan on his way to Washington D.C. to meet with Bush!
It is true that the Sunnis make 20% of the Iraqi population [maybe less
now with all the killings.] But let’s face it, they were able to
destabilize Iraq and fail the American plans in the last three years.
When the U.S. ignored the Sunnis earlier after the invasion, it was a
mistake. But now, it is not. Now, the want to apply the mistake again
because that is the easiest way to solve the problem, not of the Iraqis
but of the Americans.
The easiest way to show the world that America has won the war in Iraq
is by telling the Iraqis "her you go. This is democracy. 80% of you is
ruling the country." And then the Iraqis themselves should solve the
problem of sectarian civil war, although the Americans provoked it when
three years ago and under the name of democracy, they called for a
Shiite-Kurdish-Sunni- government with some other minorities.
"Our role is not to resolve those issues for them," Condoleezza Rice
told reporters last month! "They are going to have to resolve those
issues among themselves."
