Kitabat, Iraq
When Will Iraqis Realize that the Enemy is Iran and Not Israel?
"Israel is keen on the success
of the American project in Iraq to extend security, stability, reconstruction
and progress. Its goals are identical to those of America ... For a thousand
years we have gotten nothing from Iran but war, death, destruction and
interference in Iraqi affairs."

Iraq - Kitabat - Original Article (Arabic)
For the most part, the Iraqi political
mind remains captive to the poison of demagogical slogans that were chanted in
the forties, fifties and sixties by communists, nationalists and Islamists
against Western culture and the nation of Israel.
This is not a mind that asks
itself why Arabs wasted a golden opportunity to accept the partition of
Palestine into two countries in 1948, incurring a headache of Palestinian
problems that have reeked havoc and inhibited the progress of the Arab nation.
Unfortunately, Iraqis ignore
the basic question that they should ask themselves, which is: “Which is the
real enemy of Iraq; Israel or Iran?”
Iran-affiliated parties
interfere day and night in Iraqi affairs; it is Iran that supports the al-Qaeda
criminals and the militias and that smuggles in remotely detonated devices that
kill Iraqis. It is Iran that has control over the government and Parliament in
Iraq, steals Iraq’s wealth through its dominance of the economy and which
exports inferior merchandise to our country.

Iran is the one that tears
through the ranks of Iraqi youth, instigating them into sectarian war.
Meanwhile, Israel is keen on
the success of the American project in Iraq to extend security, stability,
reconstruction and progress. Its goals are identical to those of America, and
anyone who denies that America wants progress and development in Iraq is
absolutely a victim of the polluted and demagogical slogans of the hostile mob
that we mentioned before.
Iran's
President Ahmadinejad and Iraqi President Maliki hold
hands, during a visit by the Iraqi leader to Teheran. Iraqis are
debating who to trust more in terms of alliances:
American and
the West or Iran and those who oppose America's invasion.

According to the logic of
politics - which differs from the logic of social relations - there are no
enemies or friends, but interests that serve the people. And for the sake of
construction, reconstruction and progress, Iraq’s interests in all areas are
today with America and Israel and the peoples of the Western countries.

When one examines the true
nature of the Israeli state and the scale of its development and progress, we
find that it is a great nation that has achieved very high rates of success in
all areas. If Iraqis really want a happy life for their people and strive to learn
from previous successful experiences, they urgently need to benefit from the
expertise Israelis have shown in building their state and society.
For a thousand years we have
gotten nothing from Iran but war, death, destruction and interference in Iraqi affairs;
throughout history, Iran has been the number one enemy of the Iraqi people.
Since it destroyed the Babylonian culture up to today, it has committed the
most atrocious crimes against Iraq.
The Iraqi people must look at
things realistically, starting with the need to identify what our true
interests are. Today, our interests as Iraqis are not with the oppressive,
violent clerics, with the ugly Rule of the Jurisprudent [rule by Islamic
clerics 
], but with
countries that are scientifically, economically and politically advanced, the
first of which are America, Britain, Germany, France, Japan, South Korea, as
well as Israel.

Letter to the editor
about Khadir Taahar,
author of this article

Iraq - Kitabat - Original Article (Arabic)
I so admire the
writings of Khadir Taahar!
This writer raves with such frankness and clarity, and never shies away from
shocking the reader with his contrarian beliefs - whether he (the reader) be
left-wing, right-wing or independent. For him, all that matters is that the
reader be an Iraqi. Why? Because regardless of their
religious denominations or particular beliefs, Iraqis are uncomfortable with
the international brand known as the “United States of America.”
Posted by WORLDMEETS.US
To say: “They are
uncomfortable” in a polite and civilized way is not to say: “They hate or are
resentful,” since I don’t wish to annoy Khadir Taahar - who is more American than the Americans and even
more than Bush, Cheney, Rice or Gates. He is more part of the American
intelligence apparatus than the men of CIA and more Jewish than the Jews
(remember his Kitabat article from April 15th 2007,
in which he called for establishing friendly relations with Israel so that it
could take part in rebuilding Iraq!)
I like the work
of this writer because he isn’t ashamed or embarrassed to express his ideas and
political views clearly and honestly and he isn’t afraid of critics of his
writings. Nor does he feel the need to respect the feelings of other Iraqis,
who take umbrage at his favorite leaders, the Americans, who have inflicted
death, destruction and ruin upon them in the service of Israel and her future
security, and at their hands of Washington’s creation, the terrorists, who came
from abroad at the behest of their [Iraqi] allies and advisers from the former
regime.
