(1) OPEC Justify Euro-Colonialism
One. Only a fool would believe that the descendants of Hitler and Napoleon, namely Germany and France, would not like to have their own oil-colonies in the Middle East and Africa. Two. Post-2001 Petro-Imperialism and Oil-seeking Colonial Empires shall take birth, just as post-1500 European Colonialism took birth because of the search for alternate route for Indian spices. The post-1500 European Colonialism was the direct result of European powers to escape from Ottoman price gauging for Indian spices essential for European meat preservation during winter months. The post-2003 new age of Oil Colonialism is the direct result of the price gauging of the Middle Eastern OPEC that artificially manipulated the price for a barrel of crude oil to triple in three years, from $25 in April 2003, to over $72 in April 2006.
Three. It is cheaper for the United States, Germany, France, China and India to invade, occupy and administer as colonies selected oil-producing OPEC nations than paying for the imported oil bill. Thinly populated wealthy oil producers have signed their death warrants by hiking up the oil prices.
Any crude oil price above $25-a-barrel makes imperialistic invasions of thinly populated oil-producing countries an economic necessity for oil-importing industrial economies.
Four. The price gouging by OPEC nations to cross $70 per barrel gave a new age of Oil Colonialism. The civilized world feels that ever rising oil price rise justifies the return of new age of Oil Colonial Empires in terrorism prone Middle East, Central Asia and Africa. Colonization of thinly populated oil-producing countries in the Middle East and Central Asia by leading oil-consuming nations and industrial powers shall provide for energy security in the populous civilized world, while causing some hardship for colonial populations in the oil-producing world. Unchecked oil-price rise shall cripple the economies of the industrialized world.
Five. Just as black agents of slave traders helped enslave blacks, similarly American Oil companies conspiring with Arab masters to rape and loot America and Europe to enrich their Arab masters and themselves. American BigOil raping America, American economy and American public to enrich themselves and their OPEC masters, just as Black agents of White slave traders captured blacks in Africa and delivered them to Slave ships. Profits of American BigOil do not promote the national interests of America rather harms it. It is high time that American State should directly own the oil and gas reserves of the Middle East, as then only it would reduce taxes, public debt and trade imbalances.
Six. The era of Nation-State system is over. Oil producing countries in the post-nation state world orders shall become colonies of the great powers. The European Union portends the days of nation states nearing its end in 21st Century. OPEC was created by conspiring American Big Oil to profit by artificial price rise by artificially production manipulation by OPEC oil producers.
Seven. Arab women prefer European Colonialism to Wahhabi regimes. Oil producing nations are artificial creations. American and British secret services mobilized Bedouin Wahhabi clergy to engineer their secession from Ottoman Caliphate. The CIA supported Islamic fundamentalism in Central Asia to engineer the secession of Muslim republics from the Soviet Union. United States engineered Shiite fundamentalism to overthrow Shah of Iran. United States engineered the Taleban rule in Afghanistan with direct help of Saudi Arabia, UAE and Pakistan.
Eight. The 9/11 attacks on United States signed death warrants on Wahhabi oil producers that provide sanctuary to Islamic terrorists. The terrorism promoting oil-producing nations has signed their own death warrants failing to stop the terrorist attacks on the United States, Russia, India and China.
Nine. Like the 1885 Partition of Africa, the great powers should negotiate and arrive at Partition of Oil Producing Middle East, Central Asia and Africa among major oil importing industrial powers, namely, United States, China, India, Japan, Germany, France, Britain and South Korea. The colonial occupation of thinly populated oil-producing nations by populous industrialized nations is lesser an evil than the disruption of the industrialized economies that would result, if the oil-producing nations continued to manipulate oil prices. Partition of Oil-Producing Nations into colonies of world powers is a moral imperative otherwise the civilized world shall face the specter of $100-a-barrel oil prices, which could translate into a $6-a-gallon gasoline and heating oil and worldwide Depression and end of the Industrial Civilization as we know it.
Ten. American and European public will endorse albeit demand American and European imperialism and oil colonialism provided it brings back the retail price of gasoline and heating oil to below $1-a-gallon for American and European consumers.
(2) Oil Rivalry is the
Goal of Diplomats
One. The
21st Century is the Century of Oil and diplomats define the national interests
of nations in terms of Oil power. Oil is the Achilles’ Heels of the United States.
France and Germany could overthrow the hegemony of the United States by joining
forces with China and India to develop oil and gas resources of oil-producing
nations, in competition with the United States to rival the American Big Oil.
France and Germany as great Oil powers could dream to rival United States as
world’s diplomatic power.
Two.
Neither France nor Germany has the economic strength to play a great power role
in 21st Century as it played in the Concert of Europe during the 19th Century
Europe. Germany and France can lead 25-member European Union to emerge as rival
to the United States, only if Germany and France succeed in developing closer
economic and strategic ties with China, or India or Russia, the world’s 2nd
largest, 4th largest and 10th largest economies respectively and nuclear weapon
military powers.
The Great
Powers of the world ranked as follows in the declining order: 1United States,
2China, 3India, 4Russia and 5European Union. The largest economies of the world
are: 1United States ($8.4 trillion), 2China ($4.1 trillion), 3Japan ($3
trillion), 4India ($2.2 trillion), 5Germany ($1.8 trillion), 6France ($1.3
trillion), 7Britain ($1.2 trillion), 8Italy ($1.2 trillion), 9Brazil ($1
trillion), and 10Russia ($929 billion) (Source, World Bank, “World Development
Report 2000/2001).
The
combined GNPs of China, Japan and India ($9,299 billion), exceeded the combined
GNPs of 15 European Union States ($8,018 billion) and exceeded the combined
GNPs ($9,076 billion) of USA and Canada. The combined GNPs of 15 European Union
states less than the GNP of United States. The Sino-Indian détente of 2003,
heralded the Age of Asia, the 21st Century of Asia, when giant Indian Elephant
decided to mate with giant Chinese Dragon, to create an Asian Common Market of
China, India and Japan, with the combined GNP at PPP of $9.3 trillion.
Three. The
25-member European Union led by France and Germany can emerge as rival to the
United States if it secured closer economic and military ties with fellow
Eurasian land powers, namely, Russia, India and China. By be securing closer
ties with Russia, India and China could France, Germany and European Union join
the ranks of world powers and become major players in the new world order,
which is multi-polar.
(3) Eurasian Big Oil
Rivals Yankee Big Oil
The 21st
Century is the Century of Asia, led by China, India and Japan. The top four
world powers are: 1USA, 2China, 3India and 4Russia. India and China joined the
ranks of Super Powers in the aftermath of the failed American colonial
occupation of Iraq, when Pentagon started to beg the world leaders for
Peacekeeping Forces after Iraqi guerrilla resistance started killing American
soldiers.
The
national interests of oil-imports dependent Germany, France, China, India and Japan
coincided in the oil-rich Arabian Gulf and Caspian oil basin of Central Asia.
Germany and France possess the required oil exploration and production
technology and can rival United States, by joining forces with China, India and
Japan to secure oil-production leases in the oil-producing countries of Arabian
Gulf, Caspian Central Asia, West coast of Africa, Venezuela and Colombia.
Europe led
by France can rival United States only when Europe in partnership with China
and India succeeds in developing oil-exploration and production sharing
contracts with the oil-producing nations in the world. Only by emerging as
rival oil power France, Germany and Belgium would successfully challenge and
undermine the political and economic hegemony of the United States in the
world. European Big Oil can rival American Big Oil if Europe developed
oil-joint ventures with India, China and Japan. Europe-Asia Big Oil can rival
American Big Oil worldwide. Europe, China and India should jointly attack the
Oily Achilles’ Heels of America to hold America in check.
(4) Rise of France India
China Big Oil
Just as
Cardinal Richelieu of Catholic King of France, supported German Protestant
Princes against Catholic Habsburg Holy Roman Empire, influenced by Raison
d’etat, White Christian President Chirac and Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder
should support brown Hindu India and yellow Buddhist China to develop
Euro-Indian-Chinese Big Oil and compete against American Big Oil to promote the
Europe’s Oil interests in the 21st Century.
Just as
France’s Richelieu didn’t allow religion and race to influence France’s foreign
policy, similarly France and Germany should join forces with Hindu India and
Buddhist China to tame and hold in check Bully White Protestant America.
30(2) Talk Points
(1) 21st Anti-American
Century
The 21st
Century emerged as the Anti-American Century, simply because historically world
powers gathered to oppose the dominant Bully of the age, which happened to be
United States, led by a no-nonsense Neo-Conservative President, who saw his
father lose the presidential elections 1992, after having won the 1991 Gulf War
I. First, the 17th Century was anti-Hapsburg Holy Roman Empire and Anti-Papacy
Century. The 18th Century was anti-Spain Century. The 19th Century was
anti-France Century. The 20th Century was anti-Germany Century. The 21st
Century fast shaping up as the Anti-American Century. The PEW 2002 Global
attitudes Survey on anti-Americanism confirmed that Canada, Germany and France
emerged as the major challenger to the United States and anti-Americanism grew
by leaps and bounds in Canada, Germany and France. Before the end of this
decade Canada-US relations may resemble Pakistan-India relations. Germany and
France may be on the opposing side of the battle lines in the Third World War.
Very few countries liked American Yankee Big Bully. Every nation hates hegemony
of America because America is a bully, unless of course those who seek American
goodies and aid.
(2) Rise of Republican
Neo-Conservatives
Second,
the unprecedented rise of Neo-Reaganesque Neo-Conservatives represented the
political alliance of Protestant Christian Religious Right conservative
conspiracy, pro-Segregation whites, Zionist Cabal, Semite Wahhabi oil
collaborators and American oil colonialism. Yankee Neo-Conservatives have
undermined the pro-Affirmation gains of 1964 Bill of Rights. Republican
Neo-Conservatives embarking upon imperial America not upon Pope’s Crusades.
(3) Chirac is Khrushchev
of 2003
Third,
France can emerge as the world power leading the anti-US bandwagon. President
Chirac could play the role Soviet Premier Khrushchev played in holding the US
in the check in 1950s and 60s. If France could lead the world’s opposition in
holding bully America in check, and succeed in restraining America’s unbridled
appetite for oil colonies, then France would emerge as a World Power. France
could emerge as the world’s second power if it could restrain the arrogance of
preeminent superpower United States. France led by Chirac would tame the
arrogant United States, just as Khrushchev tamed Yankee presidents and
protected the freedom and independence of the Non Aligned Movement.
(4) US New War Map
Targets 3rd World
Fourth,
the Pentagon’s New War Map in 2002 outlined that after former Soviet colonies
in the Second World joined the expanded NATO, the First World’s Pentagon
embarked upon the grandiose imperial plan to colonize the Non aligned Third
World, and America’s war on Iraq represented the first step in that direction.
Pentagon wanted to establish American Oil colonies throughout the Arab World,
the Third World, and the Non Aligned World. Pentagon wants to become the
Leviathan of the Middle East.
(5) Pentagon Fighting
Wahhabi’s War
Fifth,
Republican Neo-Conservatives, Zionists and Yankee Oil imperialists could
colonize and conquer Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE to rape OPEC Oil,
interestingly with the help of Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda terrorists and tyrants
of Saddam Hussein. However if America invaded Syria, Yemen or Iran then America
would be fighting the War of Semite Mecca Caliphate not American oil
imperialism. India would support American oil imperialism but vehemently oppose
Semite Wahhabi Mecca Empire.
(6) NATO died in rubble
of oil-rich Baghdad
Sixth,
American oil colonialism in Iraq caused the demise of NATO because America
refused to share oil loot with other European powers, notably Germany, France
and Belgium.
(7) Population Decline in
Europe
Seventh,
the population decline of Western Europe ruled out any major great power roles
for Germany and France, unless they join Defense pact with India. However, the
Oil colonialism is the only great power game France, Germany and Russia can
play faced with the declining population.
(8) Third World War in
the Middle East
Eighth,
the Third World War shall be fought for oil reserves of the Arabian Gulf states
and it shall start in the Middle East. It would be suicidal for France,
Germany, Russia and China to allow Pentagon establish American Oil Colony in
Iraq, as it would give America great head start in the War. President Bush’s
invasion of Iraq to establish Oil colony in Iraq would trigger World War III.
(9) Saudi Arabia,
Pakistan & Iran
Ninth, In
early 1900’s the Ottoman Empire was the Thesis, and British-American supported
Wahhabi fundamentalism the Anti-Thesis and it resulted in the disintegration of
Ottoman Empire and synthesis of the alliance of Rule of Al Saud family in Saudi
Arabia and Iraq, and the American monopoly over Saudi Oil and British monopoly
over Iraqi oil and religious monopoly of Mecca-based Wahhabi Clergy. In 1947,
the British Indian empire was the Thesis, the British Spy agency supported
Mohammad Ali Jinnah and M.K. Gandhi was the Anti-Thesis, and the result was the
synthesis of partition of Indian Empire. In 1980 the Pahlavi Monarchy of Iran
was the Thesis and the CIA Spy Ayatollah Khomeini the Anti-Thesis and it
resulted in the synthesis of the tyranny of fundamentalist Ayatollah Khomeini
and the downfall of the liberal, secular Aryan Pahlalvi Monarchy of Shah of
Iran.
(10) Bush’s Petro-Imperialism
Tenth,
Bush is not a religious nut, but an oil imperialist. Bush waged America’s war
for oil colonialism, not a war for propagation of Christian interests. Catholic
French wrongly condemn President Bush as a nut on grounds of religion. President Bush is a danger to the world, not
because he attempting to promote the fundamentalist God’s designs on the world
by war, but because he want to control and conquer the world by establishing
American oil colonies in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE.
(11) Oil is Great Game of
Eurasia in 2003
Eleventh,
the Anti-Americanism determined that France and Germany supported the Russia’s
control and influence over Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus. Russia supported the
idea of greater German and French influence over Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus,
rather than increased NATO and American influence. The Geo-politics of Great
Game of the 21st Century demands that Europe as well as Russia, India and China
should not allow United States control over Caspian Oil reserves of Azerbaijan,
Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. The land powers of Eurasia, Germany,
France, Russia, China and India should deny the United States, the foreign sea
power and the air power, from developing any permanent military bases in
Central Asia and should not allow United States to control the Caspian Oil and
gas resources and oil and gas pipelines in Central Asia.
(12) Europe Must
Counterbalance America
Twelfth,
French scholar Jacques Derrida and German scholar Jürgen Habermas published in the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the European intellectuals’ own original
"hot idea". Arguing for a counterbalance to American global hegemonic
pretensions, Derrida and Habermas maintain that this can only be accomplished
through a unified European foreign policy led by the pioneering
"core" European nations. Derrida-Habermas call for a European
identity more significantly linked to the belief that Europe must act to curb
American primacy and unilateralism. French view of Europe is a separate
power-to-be in a world of competing poles, including the United States, Russia,
China, and India. The world of the next decades will function this way"
creating a situation that would be "much better than a single power ruling
over the affairs of the planet. In a few years Secretary of Defense Donald H.
Rumsfeld will have opposite him a united Europe. The French view foresees the
European Union evolving into an international force that could be defined as a
rival of the United States. France has clear visions of Europe's developing
into a rival power. However, Europe can emerge as world power only when it
secured closer military ties with either India or China.
(13) Euro is World’s
Co-Reserve Currency
Thirteenth.
The Euro helped France Contain the USA. With the Cold War behind, the key
question of international politics, as seen by the French political and
administrative elite, is this: Now that there is no military threat to Europe
from the Soviet Union or anyone else, how to contain the United States? In this
logic the Euro Currency must become an alternative, or co-reserve currency
alongside the dollar. This would deprive the US of its Soft Power and its free
ride in the world economy. After all, the special international role of the
dollar permits the US to run staggering trade deficits and to escape the
balance of payments discipline that holds all other nations in check. This
French believe, boosts America’s ability to finance military and political
power beyond its real means. The primary goal of French and European foreign
policy is therefore to shift portions of the foreign exchange reserves of the
world into Euros. The value of the Euro against the dollar may or may not rise
as a result. The Euro is not fundamentally about exchange rates and exports and
imports, although they are terribly important. The use of Euro as the
co-reserve currency alongside dollar is about the political independence and
power that the Euro as co-reserve currency buys. It was the Euro, not the UNSC
Veto that enabled France to oppose President Bush on Iraq so boldly. Absent the
Euro, it would have been relatively easy for the US to quietly bring the French
back into line. A stealth US attack on the French franc, and on French
financial markets would do the job, and it did the job more than once before.
In 1956, when France and Britain invaded Egypt to retake the Suez Canal,
Eisenhower was outraged. Some stern statements by Dwight Eisenhower backed by
discreet mutterings about Franc and Pound Sterling currencies and discreet
attack on French financial markets did the trick. The French and British
promptly retreated from Suez in 1956. The European Union idea is a political
not an economic project, though achieved through economic means. The first goal
was to create a unified Europe to bring an end to European wars. The means were
economic: a Common Market, or free trade zone, to be expanded to include the
free movement of capital then the free movement of labor. Behind the agreement
was a basic bargain between France and Germany: France would open to German
industry and Germany would support French agriculture. In the full Gaullist
vision, France in order to stay independent and powerful, France would have to
enter a Europe unified behind French political power supported by German
economic power. This is the argument author makes in this Chapter.
30(3) Anti-American 21st
Century
(1) Anti-American 21st
Century
The 21st
Century fast shaping up as the Anti-American Century, and five world powers,
namely France, Germany, Russia, China and India pooled their diplomatic assets
to tame Yankee Oil Colonialism in early 2003. President George Bush’s naked
imperialist war on Iraq, the country with the second largest oil reserves to
establish American Oil Colony over Iraq, to exploit and rape the oil riches of
Iraq, reminiscent of the 18th or 19th century European Colonialism, would
herald a New Age of Colonial Empire in the 21st Century. The Great Powers of
the world led by France, Germany, Russia, China and India coordinating their
diplomacy on Iraq crisis to tame and check the preeminence of the United
States, which lost its head wrongly believing that it is the sole superpower of
the world after 1991 End of the Cold War. Concert of the World Powers seeks to
create the better balance of power in the world by holding the United States in
check, just as the Congress system evolved after 1814 Congress of Vienna,
sought to create a better world balance by holding France in check, from 1814
to 1914, by applying the principles of Balance of Power. France’s First
Minister Cardinal Richelieu sought to create a better world balance by holding
the pro-Papacy Catholic Holy Roman Empire in check and to keep German Princes
divided, by applying the principles of Raison d’etat.
“ If the
past 100 years (20th Century) were widely considered the American Century, this
new one (21st Century) is fast shaping up as the Anti-American Century. A
mother lode of goodwill fostered in the decades after the defeat of Nazi
Germany has been reduced to dust in recent years. A growing number of
foreigners see some of the United States’ political decisions (pulling out the
Kyoto Treaty on global emissions) and personal choices as at best unilateral
and at worst selfish. The confrontation over Iraq is just more fuel on a
bonfire,” thus summed up the leading American daily, USA Today, its assessment
of prevailing anti-Americanism in its front page cover story, on March 4, 2003,
with title, “Yankee Stay Home,” and subtitle Ugly sentiments sting American
tourists as Europeans cite frustrations with US policy. The current
Anti-Americanism climate in Europe is in stark contrast to the breathtaking
we-are-all-Americans sentiment that gripped Europe and India on Sept. 11, 2001.
European Media and public portray Americans as culturally inferior, ignorant of
world politics, arrogant in their interaction with the rest of the world and
worst of all, the bully of the neighborhood. Europeans believe that America had
no culture. During the weekend of Feb. 15, ’03, more than 6 million people in
roughly 60 countries hit the streets in some of the largest anti-war protests
since the Vietnam War. Speaking as European and for the vast majority of their
fellow Europeans, the European intellectuals consider such anti-American
behavior morally wise and patriotic. The European and Third World
intellectuals, and the diplomats of the five world powers, France, Germany,
Russia, China and India united by their common perception that only by holding
in check the United States, which is the world’s bully, unilateral and selfish
power, could the world avert the menace of the looming new age of Colonial
Empires in the early decades of the 21st Century. The 17th Century was
anti-Hapsburg Holy Roman Empire and Anti-Papacy, the 19th Century was
anti-France, the 20th Century was anti-Germany, and the 21st Century fast
shaping up as the Anti-American Century. France, Germany and Canada would lead
the world in articulating Anti-Americanism perceptions of the diplomats, the
policy makers and the public. Five World Powers France, Germany, Russia, China
and India believes that regime change in Iraq to establish American Oil colony
over Iraq that hold world’s second largest reserves of oil, is a detour on the
road to ridding the world of terror and made a mockery of the President Bush’s War
on Islamic Terrorism. President Bush has stalled the anti-terror campaign over
the 2002 in favor of a Persian Gulf buildup to attack Iraq to establish oil
colonialism.
The naked
diplomacy of Oil Colonialism pursued by President Bush exposed the camouflage
of Wilsonian morality, and world realized how imperfect was the post-Cold War
world order that touted United States as the sole Super Power of the world? The
barbarian threat to the world Civilizations exposed the religious intolerance
of newly independent nations and world realized how imperfect was the
post-Second World War world, which saw the emergence of numerous smaller
independent states after the decolonizaiton of European colonial Empires? It is
likely that many dozen smaller, independent sovereign states might lose their
independence and become part of the Neo-Colonial Empires fueled by the scramble
for and control of oil reserves of the world. It is likely that five world
powers, namely, France, Germany, Russia, China and India would succeed in
creating a stable multi-polar world order by jointly holding the United States
in check. The concert of World Power may legitimize the Neo-Colonial Empires as
well as hold American Oil Colonialism and American Empire in check. The
unbridled colonial dream and neo-colonial policies of President Bush has
fundamentally changed the world order, and the world would never be the same.
Every diplomat of the world realized the imperfect new world order that
replaced the old world order after the demise of the Soviet Union, the collapse
of the Communism and the end of the Cold War. Many dozen independent and
sovereign states would lose their independence in the early part of the 21st
Century because of the changes that would occur due to the neo-colonial policies
of the Bush Administration, and in this manner, President George W. Bush would
go down in this history as the single person that changed the flow of world
history in 21st Century, followed by Osama Bin Laden. President Bush is an
“Itihaas-Purusha” or the “Man that Changed the History.” Would the new world
order be less imperfect than what it replaced? The end result of the diplomatic
activities of the Christian President George W. Bush as well as result of the
terrorist activities of Arab Wahhabi Osama Bin Laden would be as follows;
firstly, the forced demise of numerous smaller sovereign independent States,
and secondly, the return of the new Age of Colonial Empires in the 21st
Century. The changes brought about by Bush and Osama is historically irreversible,
and it would take its own course through the world history. The genie is out of
the bottle and no diplomat and no power can put the genie of Colonial Empires
back into the bottle. The world leaders and diplomats of world powers could
hold this genie in check and attempt to control and tame it but cannot wish it
away. The demise of numerous smaller states and the return of the Colonial
Empires represent the twin reality of the new world order in the 21st Century.
(2) Imperfect New Age
The
post-Cold War Old World Order had become rotten due to the bad behavior of
Bully America. Diplomat-Geopoliticians realize: Without rot, things don’t get
soft enough for anything to happen. It is the beginning of the divine process.
Old world order rots to give birth to the new world order. Gautam Buddha said:
Change is the only certainty. The change of the world order is inevitable.
Hindu Holy scripture “Gita” says: Soul leaves the old body after death and
enters the new body during birth. Soul is eternal, it never dies, it neither
kills, nor it can be killed. Just as man throws away old garments and wears new
garments, the Soul leaves the Old Body at death and enters the new body at
birth. Historians understand that the soul of the world order changes the old
body of the world system and enters the body of the new world system, after the
old world order becomes rotten, dysfunctional and archaic. Rising world powers
replace the old powers. India and China will replace Europeans as the leading
world powers in the 21st century. Even as late as 1750 AD, The economies of
India and China produced one-quarter and one-third of world’s total
manufactured goods, respectively. With the advent of the new order old world
order can never be recreated, except in the next cycle of change.
(3) US Portrayed As
Arrogant in BBC’s Poll.
Post-Sept.
11 America was "a Wounded Giant, full of anger that feels it's got to
exercise its power all over the world, that's becoming a Frightening America,
said former British Cabinet member Clare Short, who quit her post to protest
the invasion of Iraq. The Americans were judged to be a greater threat than
Russia, China, Syria and two members of Bush's Axis of Evil Iran and North
Korea. The al-Qaida terrorist organization was ranked more dangerous than the
United States. Even in South Korea, where tensions along the Demilitarized Zone
run high, 48 percent of respondents judged the United States to be a greater
threat to world peace than the communist neighbors to the north, with their
nuclear program. A sampling of public opinion in 11 nations finds many see the
United States as an arrogant superpower that poses a greater danger to world
peace than North Korea. President Bush failed to impress 58 percent of those
questioned by pollsters for a British Broadcasting Corp. They said they had a
fairly unfavorable or very unfavorable view of the American president. If the
American respondents were removed from the sample, the number rose to 60
percent. But the way the United States wields its power worried many of those
questioned for the program, "What the World Thinks of America." Only
25 percent excluding Americans said U.S. military might was making the world a
safer place. The poll questioned 11,000 people in May and June 2003 in 11
nations: Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, France, Indonesia, Israel, Jordan,
Russia, South Korea and the United States. The poll conducted by pollsters
including ICM in Britain and IPSOS Reid in the United States. The BBC did not
estimate a margin of error. Forty-one percent agreed with Prime Minister Tony
Blair's opinion that the United States is a force for good in the world, and 55
disagreed. Sixty-five percent overall and a majority in every country,
including the United States said America is arrogant. Forty-seven percent said
America is friendly, and 33 percent find the United States antagonistic. Many
said their own countries were becoming more like America 81 percent of
Australians agreed with that statement, as did 64 percent of Britons and 63
percent of Israelis. Fifty-six percent said the United States was wrong to
attack Iraq. That number reached 81 percent in Russia and 63 percent in France,
two nations that led world opposition to the war. Overall, 37 percent said the
war was right 54 percent in Britain, 74 percent in the United States and 79
percent in Israel.
(4) Jacques Derrida-
Jurgen Habermas Thesis
French
scholar Jacques Derrida and German scholar Jürgen Habermas published in the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the European intellectuals’ own original
"hot idea". Arguing for a counterbalance to American global hegemonic
pretensions, Derrida and Habermas maintain that this can only be accomplished
through a unified European foreign policy led by the pioneering
"core" European nations. Derrida-Habermas call for a European
identity more significantly linked to the belief that Europe must act to curb
American primacy and unilateralism. Europe's old laggards will never balance US
power even after adopting the Draft Constitution of Europe and creation of the
single President of Europe, because for Europe to be an effective counterweight
to preeminent United States would require far-reaching changes European
policies and solid defense ties with Russia or India or China. European
counterbalance to American global hegemonic aspirations and Pax Americana can
be accomplished through a unified European foreign policy led by the pioneering
core European nations, namely France or Germany. It is moral imperative for
Europe to curb American primacy and unilateralism and most of Europeans support
this approach. This articulates what many in Europe are thinking. American
earlier came up with slogans such as "the clash of civilizations" and
"the end of history" which allowed president Bush to wage wars of oil
colonialism disguised as America’s war on Islamic terrorism and Islamic WMDs.
Constitutional decisions, like creating the office of a single foreign
minister, would go a long way towards enhancing the role of Europe in world
affairs.
(5) How Europe Can
Counterbalance USA?
Multipolar
world order would enhance the diplomatic role of France and Germany in world
affairs. By making India and other the permanent members of the UN Security
Council the international system shall become multipolar system. Reform of the
permanent Membership of the UN Security Council would make Europe more relevant
in the world. If Europe really wants improved international structures that
provide peace and prosperity, it must push for serious reform of the United
Nations, especially in the composition of the permanent veto members of the
Security Council, so that countries such as India, Brazil and South Africa may
also achieve that status. Perhaps Europe should confront the fact that it is
over-represented on that body. There have been proposals from time to time for
a single, rotating "European" permanent seat, an idea France always
threatens to veto. Second. Europe should work towards abolishing the
agricultural subsidy system practiced by European Union, United States, and
Japan. Abolition of European agricultural subsidies would make Europe more
relevant in the world. Europe must make a massive push against protectionism,
especially in agricultural goods, and to assist poorer countries in Africa and
the Caribbean in the export of their produce. But France is the most obstinate
foe of free trade in agriculture and drags a complicit Germany along with it.
Is it any wonder that developing countries are cynical when Europe talks about
boosting world markets - when most trade experts believe that the single biggest
boost to African and Caribbean nations would be to scrap Europe's and
America's, and Japan's agricultural protectionism.
Europe
should encourage intermarrying with Indians to increase the population growth
in Europe. Europe should allow unlimited immigration from India to increase the
population of Italy, Spain, France and Germany, which are becoming aging
nations. Europe needs to get its youthful population going again. The
astonishingly low fertility rates in much of Europe, especially in Italy, France,
Spain, in contrast to the population increases forecast for the US over the
next 50 years, is as important as the differences in defense spending. With the
decline of the European population the Europe’s role in world affairs would
also decline. Fourth. Europe must increase its military spending to become
greater military powers. Europe must develop greater military capacity, scrap
national conscript armies and develop multi-Service fighting force. Many of the
"old" European countries talk about military reforms, but the small
defense budgets of France, Germany and Italy give the game away.
(6) German Marshall Fund
Sept 2003 Report
In Italy
and Germany, disapproval of current President Bush’s foreign policy in 2003
surged by 20% points from 2003. While 64% of Europeans from Germany, France,
Britain, Italy, Netherlands and Poland favored a strong American presence in
the world in 2002, only 45% favored the strong American presence in the world
in 2003. In France 70% and 50% Germans and 50% Italians said American global
leadership was undesirable. Nearly 73% of Americans would endorse the use of
force to keep Iran from getting biological, chemical or nuclear weapons. Only
44% Europeans said they would support military action to disarm Iran. The 84%
of Americans and only 48% of Europeans said that war can be viewed as just, or
war may be used to achieve justice. The 63% Americans and 37% of Europeans
supported using force to keep North Korea from acquiring WMDs. The difference
between American and European attitudes is widening, the longtime allies of the
United States increasingly chafe under American leadership. The Trans Atlantic
split over war in Iraq has undermined America’s standing with Europeans. The
public opinion survey conducted by the German Marshall Fund of the United
States and Compagnia di San Paolo of Turin, Italy, in Sept 2003 collected views
on both sides of the Atlantic about international threats, global leadership
and the use of force to resolve conflicts. Europeans are increasingly uncomfortable
with the United States’ global leadership, with majorities in almost every
European nation, Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Netherlands opposing the
direction of President Bush’s foreign policy.
30(4) Europe is Rival to
USA
(1) America not Rival of
Europe for Germany
Germany
does not recognize or seek a multipolar world, but accepts a multilateral one
in which issues of importance are decided through discussion and on the basis
of international law. A strong future Europe must not be developed in rivalry
with the United States. Rather, Europe can be "strong only together with
the United States and not as its rival. It was a clear demarcation of the
German position on Europe's global role. It differentiates Germany's view on
Europe's development from that of France. Germany expressed its viewpoint on
Europe as a starting point in discussions with all of Germany's allies,
including the United States. Germany supports a trans-Atlantic partnership
after the Iraq war in which "we must bring all our capabilities together
to win the peace." Germany offered relief efforts and economic help in
Iraq. Germany believes in the primacy of multilateral institutions.
(2) Germany’s Joschka
Fischer
Foreign
Minister Joschka Fischer of Germany, the leading candidate to become the
European Union's first foreign minister under its new constitution, has said in
Washington that a strong future Europe must not be developed in rivalry with
the United States. Rather, Europe can be "strong only together with the
United States and not as its rival." A German official in Berlin, in
response to a reporter's question, said Mr. Fischer's remark was a clear
demarcation of the German position on Europe's global role. It differentiates
Germany's view on Europe's development from that of France, which talks of
Europe as a separate power-to-be in a world of competing poles, including the
United States, Russia and China. Mr. Fischer's visit to Washington was his
first since the split with the United States over the war in Iraq. He met with
Secretary of State Colin L. Powell; Condoleezza Rice, the national security
adviser; and Vice President Dick Cheney in an apparent effort by both sides to
mend the rift over Iraq. The German position does not recognize or seek a
multipolar world, but accepts a multilateral one in which issues of importance
are decided through discussion and on the basis of international law. Mr.
Fischer's expressed viewpoint on Europe was a starting point in discussions
with all of Germany's allies, including the United States. German Foreign
Minister Joschka Fischer has made no secret that he wants to become the
European Union's first foreign minister. No certain date has been set for
creating the post, but it could be as late as 2006. Although the Americans have
no direct role in selecting the European Union foreign minister however much
their preferences might be noted. German media noted that there have been some
signs of reticence in the Bush administration about Joschka Fischer's
candidacy. Joschka Fischer talked of a trans-Atlantic partnership after the
Iraq war in which "we must bring all our capabilities together to win the
peace." He also restated the German offer of relief efforts and economic
help in Iraq. Joschka Fischer seemed intent on making it clear that this was
neither Germany's position nor one he would carry forward representing Europe
in its foreign affairs. Joschka Fischer’s position appeared to be in line with
Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, who pleaded for the primacy of multilateral
institutions.
(3) Europe is Rival to
America for French
France,
talks of Europe as a separate power-to-be in a world of competing poles,
including the United States, Russia and China. The world of the next decades
will function this way" creating a situation that would be "much
better than a single power ruling over the affairs of the planet. In a few
years Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld will have opposite him a united
Europe. The French view foresees the European Union evolving into an
international force that could be defined as a rival of the United States.
France has clear visions of Europe's developing into a rival power. That could
create instability in Europe-United States relations.
(4) Michele Alliot-Marie
& Alain Juppe
The French
view, emphasized recently by Defense Minister Michèle Alliot-Marie and Alain
Juppé, who heads President Jacques Chirac's Gaullist party. While visiting
Moscow, Mr. Alain Juppé, head of the French Gaullist party, who is close to Mr.
Chirac, designated Russia as one of the poles and said that the idea of a
"strategic partnership between the European pole and the Russian
pole" did not exclude "dialogue with the other poles, the American
pole, of course, and China." Mr. Alain Juppé, a former prime minister and
foreign minister and head of the Gaullist party, said, "The world of the
next decades will function this way" creating a situation that would be
"much better than a single power ruling over the affairs of the
planet." The previous month, talking to Chinese military leaders in Beijing,
Ms. Alliot-Marie predicted that in a few years Secretary of Defense Donald H.
Rumsfeld will have opposite him a united Europe." In spite of attempts to
thaw American-French relations, high French officials have shown no inclination
in the last two months to change their minds.
(5) European US Rivalry
Creates Instability
President
Bush and the British prime minister Tony Blair, expressed concern in April ’03,
about French visions of Europe's developing into a rival power. That would
create instability. Mr. Blair urged Europe and the United States to work
instead as a one-polar world in tackling problems.
30(5) Pope’s War on Bush
(1) Papal Wars on
Protestant USA
Gains for
American oil colonialism and American victories in war on Islamic terrorism, represented
losses for Catholic Religious Right Conservative conspiracy, as it harms the
historic alliance of Monotheist religions, between fundamentalist Catholicism
and fundamentalist Wahhabi Islam. During 2003, on America’s war on Iraq Polish
Pope John Paul II emerged as the greatest adversary of President Bush, while
Polish President greatest supporter of President Bush. The neo-conservatism
flourished in the post-Cold War era on the unrestricted support of the
Religious conservatives as well as the oil imperialists.
Iraq war
exposed the inherent contradiction of the American Oil Colonialism and
Christian Religious Right Conservatism when it bluntly sought to establish oil
colonies in the Arab world. The Papacy led by arch Conservative Polish Pope
John Paul II, served the interests of American by undermining the leadership of
France and Germany in the Vatican government. However, on the issue of American
Oil Colonialism and America’s war on terrorism, the Republican
Neo-Conservatives are split between their loyalty to Pope and their greed for
oil colonies in Iraq and Afghanistan. The proselytizing Evangelical interests
conflict with the interests of oil colonialism and war on Islamic terrorism.
To Pope
John Paul II the gains of alliance of Monotheism between fundamentalist
Catholicism and fundamentalist Wahhabi Sunni Islam outweigh the temporal
interests of American Oil Colonialism. President Bush would lose the support of
the Religious Right Conservatism if he pursued the interests of oil colonialism
at the cost of the proselytizing common interests of Monotheist religions. In
the perception of the conservative Papacy the imperialistic Protestant
Americanism could become evil similar to that to Communism, if it became
hindrance in the apocalyptic destiny of the Church.
Catholic
Religious Right Conservatism opposed President Bush’s war on Wahhabi terrorism,
because Papal Conservatism secured theological ties with Wahhabi fundamentalism
to proselytize pagans in Africa. The anthrax attacks that followed the 9/11
attacks could be the work of extreme Christian Religious Right Conservatism.
Christian Religious Right Conservatism leading world opposition to President
Bush’s war on Islamic terrorism and imperial war on Iraq. Neo-Conservatism
based on the twin support of the Christian Religious Right Conservatism and
American Oil Colonialism or naked imperialism or pro-segregation policies.
Catholic
Christian Religious Right Conservatism not prepared to sacrifice religious
proselytizing interests by supporting America’s war on Islamic terrorism and on
Iraq, as both the wars on Afghanistan and Iraq sought to establish American oil
colonies. The Neo-conservatism the NeoCons facing ideological split because of
the inherent contradiction and conflicts between the forces of Christian
Religious Right Conservatism and American Oil Colonialism.
The
diplomatic lesson the 1980s is that under certain circumstances, sharp
rhetoric, and a big military, and just as important, a willingness to talk and
negotiate with the adversary could succeed in peacefully brining down a rotten
regime, the regime of the Soviet Union. President Reagan used the “evil” word,
the Evil Empire, and ushered in a new era of American foreign policy making.
During Reagan Administration, America undertook little direct military action,
and none against the Soviet Union.
Twenty
years ago, speaking to the national Association of Evangelicals on March 8,
1983 the 40th president Ronald Reagan denounced the Soviet Union as the “evil
empire.” The Christian pro-Papacy audience loved it, of course, but critics
loathed it. To the secular audience, it was the worst presidential speech in
American history. The fear was that Reagan’s seemingly apocalyptic rhetoric,
plus his Pentagon buildup, was taking the world toward war. The Bulletin of
Atomic Scientists moved the hands of its nuclear doomsday clock to just three
minutes to midnight, the most ominous time since 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
The
purpose of the apocalyptic rhetoric “Evil Empire” was to mobilize the Catholic
assets in the Eastern Block to bring about the Doom of the Communism in the
Eastern Bloc. The Ronald Reagan the Gipper’s moral clarity had done the trick.
It showed that the American people could be summoned to meet the challenges of
the global leadership if statesmen make the case loudly and clearly, with moral
and strategic clarity.
Though the
apocalyptic rhetoric and mobilization of religious assets brought down the Evil
Empire, because it had become the Rotten Empire. Evil Soviet Union would have
survived the Reagan-Bush onslaught had it not become a Rotten Empire. The CIA
staged the military coup as the backlash of the Soviet Communist conservatives,
which motivated patriotic Boris Yeltsin to break up the Soviet Union to
maintain the white Slav Russian monopoly over power in Russian Federation. But
then something happened that few had foreseen, during the President Bush’s 41st
Administration (1989-1993).
The Berlin
Wall fell, peacefully in 1989 and two years later in 1991, the Soviet Union the
Evil Empire itself imploded, without America firing a shot. Indeed, starting in
1985, Reagan decided that he could work with the new Soviet Leader Mikhail
Gorbachev and Foreign Minister Eduard Sheverdnadze. President Reagan had
exploited the polish Pope to unite the resources of Polish Roman Catholic
Church and Church in other east European Catholic countries to unite the
resources of the Church and the CIA to bring down the Communist regimes. This
end game was perfectly executed by President Bush, the former Director of the
CIA. One may even argue that even Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev (March
1985-August 1991), and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Sheverdnadze could pass
as the CIA agents.
The 41st
President George Bush (1989-1993) capitalized on the combined resources of
Roman Catholic church and the CIA to bring down the Communism the in the
Eastern bloc. The 43rd president George Bush (2001-) doesn’t realize that the
combined resources of the Roman Catholic Church and the CIA led by Pope John
Paul II could be working against United States in the 2003 to bring down the
Protestant hegemon to expedite the secession and liberation of the Catholic
States from United States. The Vatican conspired to expedite the secession of
Catholic Ireland from Britain in 1919, secession of Catholic Slovenia and
Croatia from Yugoslavia in 1990’s, and secession of Catholic Czech from
Czechoslovakia.
Vatican
leads the world’s war on America. The Catholic Religious right conservative
conspiracy value theological alliance with Wahhabi fundamentalism more than the
war on terrorism and greed for American oil colonialism. Roman Catholic Church,
which cooperated with the CIA to bring down the Communism and the Soviet Union,
now joined forces with Germany, France and Belgium to bring down the hegemony
of the United States. The political base and international support of pro-oil
colonialism American Neo-Conservatives greatly undermined by the opposition of
American Catholic religious right conservatism who want to dump Bush’s war on Islamic
terrorism to renew the theological pact of Catholic fundamentalism with Wahhabi
fundamentalism. Catholic religious right would not jettison its pact with
Wahhabi fundamentalism in favor of American oil colonialism. To the religious
right the religious interests outweigh the oil colonial interests. America
would lose the war on terror as well as the war for American oil colonialism,
because its support among Christian religious right conservative conspiracy has
greatly weakened because of his war on Islamic terrorism.
(2) Return of Age of
Neo-Colonial Empires
Whenever
the entities constituting the international system change, their character, a
period of turmoil inevitably follows. The Counter Reformation Thirty Years’ War
(1618-1648) was in large part about the transition from Medieval Dark Age
semi-civilized Christian European feudal societies based on the oppression of
pro-Inquisition Roman Catholic Church and claims of Papacy for an Universal
Christian Empire in Europe, to the modern state based on raison d’etat and
claims of the political leadership to tame and control Christian religious
clergy and Church. The Thirty Years’ Wars gave birth to the rise of legitimate
secular King and ended the pretensions of the Priest-Kings, and the dreams of
the Pope to be the Priest-King of Europe.
The wars
of the French Revolution marked the transition to the nation-state defined by
common language, culture, nationalism and patriotism, and Pope ceased to be
political force in Europe. The 20th Century’s First and Second world Wars were
caused by the disintegration of the Habsburg Empire and Ottoman Empire,
represented the end of the world of multi-national Empires, and started the
trend of ethnic and religious separatism, end of the dominance of Europe and
end of colonialism. The Civilization-States of United States, Russia, China and
India became the leader, as they alone could unite large populations under a
single nation concept.
The
dominance of Europe, and the system of Colonialism and Colonial Empires, which
had been taken for granted for centuries in the post-Columbus and post-Vasco da
Gama Age, from 1500 to 1950, suddenly became anachronistic after 1960 at the
end of the Second World War. The multinational states became anachronistic and
colonialism became anachronistic in twentieth century.
(3) Demise of Smaller
Weaker States
The sudden
growth of the new states in Africa and Asia, in the post-Second World War
world, in the Age of Non-alignment and Bipolar Cold War, the concept of
smaller, weaker, states had been taken for granted, from 1950 to 2000. The
legitimacy of the smaller states got is boost during the disintegration of the
multi-ethnic Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. The world order that protected the
independence multitude of smaller states threatened with extinction after
9/11/2001 terrorist attacks on United States, Expansion of European Union and
NATO to include East European countries, and legitimization of American Oil
Colonialism by President Bush.
The
religious intolerant, pro-terrorism, weaker, thinly populated states that
presently enjoy independence and sovereignty, suddenly became anachronistic in
the 21st Century, and Neo-Colonialism, especially Oil-Colonialism staged a
come-back as the legitimate entities constituting the international system. The
supra national confederations like European Union, the Civilization Nations
like Russia, China, India and USA, and the Neo-Colonial Empires would become
the entities constituting the international system. Since the 1945, nearly a
hundred new nations came into being. The collapse of the Soviet Union and
Yugoslavia spawned another twenty nations. The American Oil Colonialism in
Afghanistan and Iraq, signals the end of the age of smaller states. Osama Bin
Laden destroyed the legitimacy of the smaller states.
(4) Shorter Duration of
World Order
The
international order that grew out of Peace of Westphalia lasted 150 years
(1648-1800). The Congress of Vienna maintained itself for 100 years
(1814-1914). The international order characterized by the Bipolar Cold War and
Non Alignment lasted 45 years (1945-1990). The one-superpower system lasted 10
years (1990-2001). The 9/11 terrorist attacks ended the sole superpower status
of the United States, as these attacks exposed the Achilles’ heel of the maritime
superpower in the age of wars of economic infrastructure that United States
legitimized during air war on Kosovo and Yugoslavia during President Bill
Clinton’s Administration. In the post-Cold War world, after 1990, the
traditional European nation-states, the countries, which formed the Concert of
Europe (1814-1914) until the First World War, lacked the resources for a global
role.
The
expansion of European Union to include the East European countries failed to
enhance the power of Germany and France. The entry of the former Bolshevik
Poland and East European countries into NATO made European Union become
military satellite of the United States, because Poland’s President would serve
the interests of United States and harm the national interests of France and
Germany. The coronation of Bolshevik Polish Bishop as Pope John Paul II
resulted in the similar loss of power and influence of Italian, German and
French Bishops in the Vatican.
Pentagon’s
Boss Donald Rumsfeld correctly said that France and Germany represent Old
Europe and that center of gravity has shifted eastward. However, Rumsfeld
scared to admit the truth that the center of gravity of power drastically
shifted eastward towards Asia, from Western Europe after 2000. The Rise of the
East, rise of China, Japan and India and decline of the West and decline of
France and Germany touted as geopolitical reality by American scholars, to keep
Western Europe under American bondage, to scuttle every plan of independent
military capability of European Union.
(5) Old Europe Resurrects
Old Raison d’etat
Old
Europe, France and Germany have resurrected the Old Diplomacy of Raison d’etat
and Balance of Power and open rivalry for establishing Oil Colonies in the
oil-producing nations, transformed the Trans Atlantic Fraternity of Capitalist
Christian nations into open diplomatic wars for colonial empires in the 21st
Century. France and Germany are likely to be on the other side of the battle
lines than United States in the Third World War as they were during Second World
War. Second World War resulted out of the refusal of the United States and
Britain to share colonial empires and colonial markets with Germany and Japan.
Germany, France and Russia would join forces to wage war on Untied States to
dismantle American Oil Colonialism in the Middle East. The world war of the
21st century would be replay of the Second World War and fueled by the refusal
of the dominant economic groupings to open up their markets to new world
powers, namely France, Germany and India.
Immature
Diplomats get sick of their worries about looming international catastrophes,
hostile barbarians threatening the civilized world order, preeminent world
power dreaming the conquest or control over world’s oil reserves, Polish Pope
sidelining Italians and Latin language in Vatican bureaucracy, the growing
clash between Christian Right and Right Christians, the growing
anti-Americanism in the White Christian Europe and Germany, France, and Russia
moving towards a formal Alliance, and German-French Big Oil preparing for war
with American Big Oil in the World War of Oil Colonial Empires of 21st Century.
World leaders sick of their fears of the worried, hostile world power, feel
that the world needs transportation into a new world order, because the old world
system and the principles that guided the post-Second World War system became
anachronistic in the 21st Century.
(6) Scramble for Oil
Colonies
President
George W. Bush of United States inadvertently unleashed the genie of
Neo-Colonialism, thus ending the Age of de-Colonization that began after the
Second World War. The Colonialism has returned and would come to haunt the
world throughout the 21st Century and the genie of colonialism cannot be put
back into the bottle again. Just as birth of the multitude new states caused
the end of the European colonial empires in Africa and Asia, the rebirth and
return of the Age of Oil-Colonialism would result in the demise of a multitude
of smaller and weaker nations, especially if they happen to be rich in oil, natural
gas and other mineral resources.
To
president George W. Bush, the America’s War on Terrorism is just hogwash to
camouflage the march of American Oil Colonialism. Oil industry leaders occupy
the key decision-making positions in the President George W. Bush’s Cabinet,
and 43rd Administration is aptly called Bush Oil Administration, presided over
by Bush Oil Administration, and the key interest pursued by the State
Department is the oil and gas interests, and the Pentagon seeks to deploy
American troops worldwide to establish American Oil colonies throughout the
oil-producing world. To understand the mindset of President George W. Bush,
look through the goggles of the Oil and Gas. Great powers international
diplomacy in the 21st Century, to enhance national power defined in terms of
control over world’s oil and gas resources as Crude Oil is the key factor that
influences national power in the Industrial Age. In the Great Oil Game all
great powers are brutally naked in the scramble for oil colonies. The world
order of the 2000’s has nothing to offer but its imperfections. America’s
Wilsonian foreign policy failed to camouflage the Bush Doctrine 2002’s naked
neo-imperialistic Oil-Colonialism in Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia,
Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Colombia and Venezuela. The acceptance of the new
world order in the new age is a pillar of wisdom in New Age Diplomacy. America
of the Bush Oil Administration is a hero with nothing to offer but capitalist
oil-goodies to American Big Oil, even if means war with white Christian buddies
of Europe, namely Germany and France. President Bush is barely articulate in
the doublespeak and newspeak. To West Europeans America is not beautiful not
even especially nice. The persistent, at times vicious, hostility displayed by
France and Germany toward America based on practical, materialistic and sordid
oil interests. President Jacques Chirac and Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder
expressed their fury at the notion of Texas adolescent President Bush wielding
more power than European sophisticates, and they identify Bush Oil
Administration with brutal power politics and gung ho militarism to establish
American Oil Colonies in Iraq, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Colombia
and Venezuela. Mixed in this French and German bouillabaisse of
anti-Americanism rage are fears of America’s domination of the world if it
succeeds in establishing American oil colonies in Iraq, Turkmenistan,
Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Venezuela, Equatorial Guinea and Angola.
(7) NATO Supports US Petro
Colonialism
President
George W. Bush got into the White House disdaining his aristocratic heritage as
scion of Bush dynasty, and he offered nothing but his imperfections,
anti-intellectualism, past bouts with alcoholism and strained married life. Bush
Administration restated America’s national interests defined in terms of oil
interests, and Bush Oil Administration set about methodically to establish
American Oil colonies in the 21st Centuries, just as President Dwight
Eisenhower set about to establish overseas American military bases during the
Cold War. Despite all this, President Bush attained a measure of contentment:
When allies began to arrive with military and diplomatic support, it seemed the
ultimate miracle, to have good European nations love American Oil Colonialism,
freaked-out, self-centered American Bush Doctrine that it is. Tony Blair argued
that Expanded Europe and United States heading expanded NATO, instead of being
hostile competitors, ought to be allies. Tony Blair’s policy has consistently
been to promote Britain as a bridge, and as the adhesive between Washington and
Brussels. No fewer than eight European countries see it Blair’s way.
30(6) Pew 2002 Global
Attitudes Survey on Anti-Americanism
Growing Anti Americanism
Dec. 4, 2002
Canada, Germany and France would emerge as the major challenger to
the United States in near future. Anti-Americanism is growing by leaps and
bounds in Canada, Germany and France. Anti-Americanism would determine the
policies of Canada, Germany and France in near future.
HUNGER IN AMERICA: Canada is the only country in the West in which
a majority of those surveyed express satisfaction with national conditions. Pew
Survey finds that fully 15% of Americans say there have been times in the past
year they have been unable to afford food, which is the highest proportion in
any advanced economy. France has not declined over the past two years. Still,
French ratings of the United States continue to be among the lowest in Europe.
OPTIMIST INDIANS & CHINESE: Nevertheless, the Chinese and
Indians are extremely optimistic about their futures. In fact, many people in
Asia expect their lives to get better. This is the case in the Philippines,
Vietnam, South Korea and Indonesia. The Chinese and the Vietnamese, in particular,
have great confidence that their children will lead better lives than they
have. By contrast, the Japanese are among the gloomiest people in Asia, whether
reflecting on the past, present or the future. Smaller world is not a happier
world.
DECLINE OF AMERICAN IMAGE: Despite an initial outpouring of public
sympathy for America following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks,
discontent with the United States has grown around the world over the past two
years. Images of the U.S. have been tarnished in all types of nations: among
longtime NATO allies, in developing countries, in Eastern Europe and, most
dramatically, in Muslim societies. Since 2000, favorable ratings for the U.S.
have fallen in 19 of the 27 countries where trend benchmarks are available.
While criticism of America is on the rise, however, a reserve of goodwill
toward the United States still remains. The Pew Global Attitudes survey finds
that the U.S. and its citizens continue to be rated positively by majorities in
35 of the 42 countries in which the question was asked. True dislike, if not
hatred, of America is concentrated in the Muslim nations of the Middle East and
in Central Asia, today's areas of greatest conflict.
OPINIONS ABOUT AMERICA: Opinions about the U.S., however, are
complicated and contradictory. People around the world embrace things American
and, at the same time, decry U.S. influence on their societies. Similarly,
pluralities in most of the nations surveyed complain about American
unilateralism. But the war on terrorism, the centerpiece of current U.S.
foreign policy, continues to enjoy global support outside the Muslim world.
Attitudes toward the United States are most negative in the Middle
East/Conflict Area. Vladimir Putin and George W. Bush are much better regarded
by their constituents than are the Russian and U.S. governments, respectively.
CANADA GERMANY FRANCE: In fact, critical assessments of the U.S.
in countries such as Canada, Germany and France are much more widespread than
in the developing nations of Africa and Asia. While Europeans view Saddam as a
threat, they also are suspicious of U.S. intentions in Iraq. Large percentages
in each country polled think that the U.S. desire to control Iraqi oil is the
principal reason that Washington is considering a war against Iraq. In Russia
76% subscribe to a war-for-oil view; so too do 75% of the French, 54% of
Germans, and 44% of the British. In sharp contrast, just 22% of Americans see
U.S. policy toward Iraq driven by oil interests. Two-thirds think the United
States is motivated by a concern about the security threat posed by Saddam
Hussein. Ironically, criticisms of U.S. policies and ideals such as
American-style democracy and business practices are also highly prevalent among
the publics of traditional allies. Many people around the world, especially in
Europe and the Middle East/Conflict Area, believe the U.S. does not take into
account the interests of their country when making international policies.
AMERICAN MOTIVES ON IRAQ: Iraq is seen as a threat to regional
stability and world peace by overwhelming numbers of people in allied nations,
yet American motives for using force against Iraq are still suspect. Souring
attitudes toward America are more than matched by the discontent that people of
the planet feel concerning the world at large.
AMERICAN OIL COLONIALISM: While Europeans view Saddam as a threat,
they also are suspicious of U.S. intentions in Iraq. Large percentages in each
country polled think that the U.S. desire to control Iraqi oil is the principal
reason that Washington is considering a war against Iraq. In Russia 76%
subscribe to a war-for-oil view; so too do 75% of the French, 54% of Germans,
and 44% of the British. In sharp contrast, just 22% of Americans see U.S.
policy toward Iraq driven by oil interests. Two-thirds think the United States
is motivated by a concern about the security threat posed by Saddam Hussein. In
addition, respondents in the five nations surveyed (aside from the U.S.)
express a high degree of concern that war with Iraq will increase the risk of
terrorism in Europe. Two-thirds of those in Turkey say this, as do majorities
in Russia, France, Great Britain and Germany. By comparison, 45% of Americans
are worried that war will raise the risk of terrorist attacks in the U.S.
SUSPICIONS ABOUT AMERICAN MOTIVES: Suspicions about U.S. motives
in Iraq are consistent with criticisms of America apparent throughout the
Global Attitudes survey. The most serious problem facing the U.S. abroad is its
very poor public image in the Muslim world, especially in the Middle
East/Conflict Area. Favorable ratings are down sharply in two of America's most
important allies in this region, Turkey and Pakistan. The number of people
giving the United States a positive rating has dropped by 22 points in Turkey
and 13 points in Pakistan in the last three years. And in Egypt, a country for
which no comparative data is available, just 6% of the public holds a favorable
view of the U.S. The war on terrorism opposed by majorities in nearly every predominantly
Muslim country surveyed. This includes countries outside the Middle
East/Conflict Area, such as Indonesia and Senegal. The principal exception is
the overwhelming support for America's anti-terrorist campaign found in
Uzbekistan, where the United States currently has 1,500 troops stationed.
Sizable percentages of Muslims in many countries with significant Muslim
populations also believe that suicide bombings can be justified in order to
defend Islam from its enemies. While majorities see suicide bombing as
justified in only two nations polled, more than a quarter of Muslims in another
nine nations subscribe to this view.
IMAGE OF THE UNITED STATES: U.S. image problems are not confined
to Muslim countries. The worldwide polling conducted throughout the summer and
fall finds few people, even in friendly nations, expressing a very favorable
opinion of America, and sizable minorities in Western Europe and Canada having
an unfavorable view. Many people around the world, especially in Europe and the
Middle East/Conflict Area, believe the U.S. does not take into account the
interests of their country when making international policies. Majorities in
most countries also see U.S. policies as contributing to the growing gap
between rich and poor nations and believe the United States does not do the
right amount to solve global problems. U.S. global influence is simultaneously
embraced and rejected by world publics. America is nearly universally admired
for its technological achievements and people in most countries say they enjoy
U.S. movies, music and television programs. Yet in general, the spread of U.S.
ideas and customs disliked by majorities in almost every country included in
this survey. This sentiment is prevalent in friendly nations such as Canada (54%)
and Britain (50%), and even more so in countries where America is broadly
disliked, such as Argentina (73%) and Pakistan (81%). Similarly, despite
widespread resentment toward U.S. international policies, majorities in nearly
every country believe that the emergence of another superpower would make the
world a more dangerous place. This view is shared even in Egypt and Pakistan,
where no more than one-in-ten have a favorable view of the U.S. And in Russia,
a 53% majority believes the world is a safer place with a single superpower.
SMALLER WORLD: Smaller world is not a happier world. As 2002 draws
to a close, the world is not a happy place. At a time when trade and technology
have linked the world more closely together than ever before, almost all national
publics view the fortunes of the world as drifting downward. A smaller world,
Pew surveys indicate, is not a happier one.
DISEASE: Disease is the First Prime Problem. The spread of disease
is judged the top global problem in more countries than any other international
threat, in part because worry about AIDS and other illnesses is so overwhelming
in developing nations, especially in Africa.
RELIGIOUS & ETHNIC VIOLENCE: Religious and Ethnic violence is
the Second Prime Problem. Fear of religious and ethnic violence ranks second,
owing to strong worries about global and societal divisions in both the West
and in several Muslim countries. Nuclear weapons run a close third in public
concern.
UNHAPPINESS: Public is Unhappy with National Conditions. Dissatisfaction
with the state of one's country is another common global point of view. In all
but a handful of societies, the public is unhappy with national conditions.
PUTIN & BUSH: Many heads of state are rated better than the
governments they lead. In particular, Vladimir Putin and George W. Bush are
much better regarded by their constituents than are the Russian and U.S.
governments, respectively. On the other hand, Canada's Jean Chretien, and Great
Britain's Tony Blair get lower grades from their citizens than do their
nation's governments.
ECONOMY, CRIME, POLITICAL CORRUPTION: The Economy is Number One
National Concern. The economy is the number one national concern volunteered by
the more than 38,000 respondents interviewed. Crime and political corruption
also emerge as top problems in most of the nations surveyed. Both issues even
rival the importance of the spread of disease to the publics of ADS-ravaged
African countries.
IRAQ: Huge majorities in France, Germany and Russia oppose the use
of military force to end the rule of Saddam Hussein. The British public is
evenly split on the issue. More than six-in-ten Americans say they would back
such an action. But the six-nation poll finds a significant degree of agreement
in Europe that Iraq is a threat to the stability of the Middle East and to
world peace. More people in all countries polled say the current Iraqi regime
poses a danger to peace than say the same about either North Korea or Iran.
Majorities in Great Britain, Germany and France also agree with Americans that
the best way to deal with Saddam is to remove him from power rather than to
just disarm him. However, the French, Germans and Russians see the conflict
between the Israelis and Palestinians as a greater threat to stability in the
Middle East than Saddam's continued rule. The American and British publics both
worry more about Iraq than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Turkish
respondents differ from Europeans about the danger posed by Iraq. They are
divided on whether the regime in Baghdad is a threat to the stability of the
region, and just a narrow 44% plurality thinks Saddam Hussein should be removed
from power. Fully 83% of Turks oppose allowing U.S. forces to use bases in
their country, a NATO ally, to wage war on Iraq. Further, a 53% majority of
Turkish respondents believe the U.S. wants to get rid of Saddam as part of a
war against unfriendly Muslim countries, rather than because the Iraqi leader
is a threat to peace.
AMERICA’S ROLE IN THE WORLD: The American public is strikingly at
odds with publics around the world in its views about the U.S. role in the
world and the global impact of American actions. In contrast to people in most
other countries, a solid majority of Americans surveyed think the U.S. takes
into account the interests of other countries when making international policy.
Eight-in-ten Americans believe it is a good thing that U.S. ideas and customs
are spreading around the world. The criticism that the U.S. contributes to the
gap between rich and poor nations is the only negative sentiment that resonates
with a significant percentage of Americans (39%).
GLOBAL DISCONTENT: Global Discontents In most countries surveyed,
people rate the quality of their own life much higher than the state of their
nation; similarly, their rating of national conditions is more positive than
their assessment of the state of the world. Even so, the survey finds yawning
gaps in perceptions dividing North America and Western Europe from the rest of
the world. Americans and Canadians judge their lives better than do people in
the major nations of Western Europe. But that gap is minimal when the publics
of the West are contrasted with people in other parts of the world. Asians,
South Koreans excepted, are less satisfied with their lives than are Western
publics. Personal contentment is especially low among Chinese and Indian
respondents, and relatively few feel they have made personal progress over the
past five years. Nevertheless, the Chinese and Indians are extremely optimistic
about their futures. In fact, many people in Asia expect their lives to get
better. This is the case in the Philippines, Vietnam, South Korea and
Indonesia. The Chinese and the Vietnamese, in particular, have great confidence
that their children will lead better lives than they have. By contrast, the
Japanese are among the gloomiest people in Asia, whether reflecting on the
past, present or the future. Latin Americans present a very mixed picture of
their lives. Mexicans, Hondurans and Guatemalans express a much higher degree
of satisfaction than do people in South America. These positive assessments are
notable given the large percentage of people in Mexico and the two Central
American countries who say there have been times in the past year when they
have been unable to afford food, health care or clothing. Argentines are at the
opposite end of the attitude spectrum. Most felt their lives have gotten worse
in recent years but only a few expressed optimism about improved better
lifestyle in the near future. Brazilians rate their lives at present in about
the same way as Argentines, but more expect progress in the future. By nearly
all measures, the Turks are among the unhappiest people surveyed. More
generally, the publics of the six countries in the Middle East/Conflict Area
are dissatisfied with the state of their lives, and a relatively high
proportion of respondents in this region also report they have been unable to
afford basic necessities in the past year. But not having enough money for
essentials is a common experience for many people outside of the advanced
economies. Overwhelming majorities of African respondents say there have been
times in the past year when they did not have enough money for food, clothing
or health care. In much of Latin America, as well as Russia and Ukraine,
majorities say there have been times in the past year when they had too little
money to afford food. Only in the industrialized nations are reports of doing
without the basics of life limited to a distinct minority of the population. Yet
the range of problems confronting the world's people goes well beyond personal
deprivation. Health care is high on the list of people's concerns, as are crime
and political corruption. In most countries, majorities cite crime as a major
national issue. The Global Attitudes survey finds that people living in the
most globalized countries express more satisfaction with their lives and a
greater sense of personal progress than do people living in less globalized
nations. However, the most globalized nations are also the richest. Among
poorer countries, a nation's degree of globalization has no bearing on its
citizens' satisfaction with life, feelings of personal progress or optimism.
MEDIA MORE OPTIMIST: Global Esteem for Military and Media People
around the world are generally more satisfied with their national governments
than they are with national conditions.
VIEWS ABOUT ECONOMY: Generally, views of the economy have a much
greater bearing on public satisfaction with the national government than do
people's concern for other top problems such as corruption. Unlike many
publics, the Russians have a much better opinion of the United States than they
had in 2000. Six-in-ten Russian respondents have a favorable view of the U.S.
now, compared with 37% two years ago.
FAVORABLE VIEW OF MILITARY: Military is rated favorably in many
countries. Perhaps reflecting international worries the military emerges as
highly rated institution in most countries of the world. The notable exceptions
are Latin American countries, notably Guatemala, Argentina and Peru. The
military not only gets a better rating than the national governments in most
countries, it also is more highly regarded than religious leaders in most of
Europe, Asia and many countries in the Middle East/Conflict Area. This is not
the case, however, in most African and Latin American nations. Despite
displeasure with national and international conditions around the globe, there
is no evidence of an international shoot-the-messenger syndrome.
TELEVISION: In the 44 nations surveyed, nearly everyone cited
television news as their predominant source of information about national and
international affairs. Lopsided majorities in just about every country surveyed
say that news organizations have a beneficial impact on their societies. In
almost every country, the media rates higher than the national government.
There is also global unanimity as to where people go for news.
FRANCE: France has not declined over the past two years. Still,
French ratings of the United States continue to be among the lowest in Europe.
There remains a substantial gap in personal satisfaction in Germany, with
respondents in former West Germany more positive about their lives than their
counterparts in the East. But former West Germans are the sole European public
that showed no increase in personal satisfaction since the early 1990s. The
post-communist generation in Eastern Europe is much more upbeat about their
lives than those age 35 and older. Despite deep dissatisfaction and pessimism about
their lives and country, an unusually high proportion of Japanese say they have
no major personal concerns. People in the West express more satisfaction with
their lives than do those in emerging nations. But this pattern is reversed
when respondents are asked about the future of their nation's children. Asians,
in particular, are much more optimistic about prospects for the next generation
than are Americans or Europeans. Publics all around the world are more
satisfied with their family lives than with their incomes or jobs. But people
in several countries - in Africa, the Middle East/Conflict Area and Eastern
DEPRIVATIONS: Canada is the only country in the West in which a
majority of those surveyed express satisfaction with national conditions. Fully
15% of Americans say there have been times in the past year they have been
unable to afford food - the highest proportion in any advanced economy. But
levels of reported deprivation in Angola are highest in the world; 86% of
Angolans report being unable to afford food at some point in the last 12
months. Africa is the only region in which a significant minority volunteers
hunger as a personal problem. Canada is the only country in the West in which a
majority of those surveyed express satisfaction with national conditions.
Europe - voice significant discontent with their family lives. While crime is a
top national problem all around the world, it ranks high as a pressing personal
concern in Latin American countries, especially in Honduras.
ANTI-AMERICANISM
HAS COME TO STAY: Anti-Americanism in Canada, Germany and France is not a
passing fad, it is based on permanent attitudes towards life and world
perspectives. Canada would soon join the ranks of Germany and France to lead
the anti-American coalition in the world. World distrusts the motives of the
United States in invading Iraq. World believes that American bent upon creating
American Oil Colonialism in the world.
30(7) France Tamed
America
(1) Nuclear France Rides
Rich German Horse
If France
could lead the world’s opposition in holding bully America in check, and
succeed in restraining America’s unbridled appetite for oil colonies, then
France would emerge as a World Power. France could emerge as the world’s second
power if it could restrain the arrogance of preeminent superpower United
States.
There is a
huge and widening gap between France’s global pretensions and her physical
power to influence events on the world arena in the age of Oil Colonialism.
Awareness of this weakness has led France to move closer to Germany and to the
idea of a European Union dominated by two great powers, with both France and
Germany providing EU presidents, the permanent Joint-Presidents of the EU. In
the French view, Paris would be the senior partner in the axis with Berlin, and
German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder accepts the junior diplomatic role of
Germany, in exchange for senior economic role for Germany. France will be the
political and diplomatic rider because of its Veto power and the nuclear
weapons and Germany will be the economic horse. The problem is that German
economy is not what it was. Virtual nil growth, total absence of old dynamism,
low productivity, and low investments in new plants and machinery, and 4
million unemployed Germans, casts doubt as prospective engine of European
economic revival. The French economy is in better shape than Germany, hence the
idea of Veto-power holder Nuclear France, will become the diplomatic and
political rider of the German-French economic horse to restore great power
status to Western Europe. The problem is that Britain playing the role of
Trojan horse of European Union, secretly conspiring to sabotage the military
rejuvenation of Western Europe, as the continental unification had historically
harmed the national interests of the maritime insular British Isle.
(2) 1915 Sykes-Picot
UK-France Agreement
The secret
Sykes-Picot agreement of 1915, during the First World War, between Britain and
France, gave France colonial power rights over half of the Ottoman Islamic
Empire in the Middle East, while Britain was to get the colonial power rights
in other half of the Ottoman Empire. Yet the French ended up with only Syria
and Lebanon, which had no oil. American President Woodrow Wilson and British
Prime Minister David Lloyd George ensured that Britain had colonial power over
Iraq, Trucial States, Kuwait, Oman and Yemen. United States became paramount
colonial power in Saudi Arabia. Britain backed by America expelled France from
Syria and Lebanon during Second World War, due to the alliance between Vichy
France and Nazi Germany (1940-44), and awarded mandate over Lebanon to Syria
after the Second World War. President Jacques Chirac has long and bitter
memories about the way in which les Anglo-Saxons (the United States and the
United Kingdom) have frustrated French ambitions in the Middle East. President
Chirac believes that France was swindled out of their hard-earned spoils at the
end of the World War I. France would be willing to go to war against United
States, provided Germany and Russia joins it to frustrate America’s oil
colonialism in Iraq, Kuwait, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
(3) Berlin Baghdad
Railway Project
Germany
has past, present and future plans to share Iraq’s riches. German imperial
ambitions in Iraq go back to World War I, when the project of a
Berlin-to-Baghdad railway was launched. Germany’s defeat in the First World War
put an end to that dream of a railway link between Germany and Iraq, bypassing
the maritime route of Suez Canal. The railway linking Arabian Gulf to
continental Europe would turn the tables against maritime powers, namely United
States and Britain. Germany in 1940-41 backed Rashid Ali coup in Iraq against
British stooge King Faisal. Germany cultivated the anti-British grand mufti of
Jerusalem, as Germany was totally opposed to the idea of the establishment of
the Jewish State of Israel. Rashid Ali was the precursor of Saddam Hussein.
Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was the precursor of Yasser Arafat. Iraq has
consistently maintained closer diplomatic ties with Germany and France and
bought considerable amount of military hardware from Germany and France. France
and Germany have past, present and future plans to share Iraq’s oil riches.
Indian Empire controlled the oil-riches of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and UAE before
1947. The oil-interests define the persistent, vicious hostility displayed by
Germany and France towards American Neo-imperialism. French and German Big Oil
want to get a share in the Iraq’s oil by one means or another. France and
Germany would have backed president Bush had he given them cast-iron guarantee
that French interests would be rewarded when Saddam is overthrown. But this
president Bush has flatly refused, for both altruistic and practical reasons.
Oil flare has dismantled the USA-France and USA-Germany Atlantic Alliance.
American would punish France and Germany after it gains control over Iraqi oil,
to force Germany and France jettison the idea that under leadership of France
and Germany the enlarged European Union would replace United States as a
superpower. After the demise of the Soviet Union, the United Germany and
Nuclear France, the undisputed leaders of the European Union, emerged as the
principal adversary of the United States in the 21st Century post-Cold War
world order. The conflicts for oil underlie the growing wave of
Anti-Americanism in Germany and France, which may someday cause the start of
the Third World War. Crude Oil is the Achilles’ heels of the United States,
Germany, France and Russia may decide to undermine America’s control over
American Oil Colonies in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq to erode the basis of
America’s super power status. In the age of the War of Economic Infrastructure,
control or denial of the control over Oil Colonies of the Middle East may decisively
determine the outcome of the Third World War. Oil caused the irreparable split
in the Atlantic Alliance and gave birth to the Concert of World Powers. United
States went to war against Germany in First and Second World War, so the very
idea of American-German friendship appears to be foolish. Why shouldn’t Germany
and France become mortal enemy of United States and enter into defense treaty
with Germany and France to tame the American Oil Colonialism.
(5) Rise of France as
Anti-US World Power
If France could lead the world’s opposition in holding bully
America in check, and succeed in restraining America’s unbridled appetite for
oil colonies, then France would emerge as a World Power. France could emerge as
the world’s second power if it could restrain the arrogance of preeminent
superpower United States. France wants to become the savior of Non Aligned
Nations. France led by Chirac would tame the arrogant United States, just as
Khrushchev tamed Yankee presidents and protected the freedom and independence
of the Non Aligned Movement. America targeted Non Aligned Nations and
neutralized its leaderships, namely, Iraq, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos,
Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Egypt, Congo, Yugoslavia, Chile and Venezuela. Jacques
Chirac wants to become the Nikita Khrushchev of 2003. President Jacques Chirac
wants France to become the principal adversary in the second Cold War, the
challenger to the les Anglo-Saxons Yankees. The main French concern is the US
attempt to forge a new right to pre-emptive action. France, like a number of
other countries, is pretty alarmed at the prospect of a superpower that can
take military action anywhere it wants without restraint, so for them the focus
becomes influencing that power as much as anything else. The French, like most
Europeans, don't want to give carte blanche to the Americans. To France it is
the last best hope for reining in the US juggernaut. France's real concerns
about Iraq, is about what it sees as an America prone to a pistol-packing
diplomacy.
For the French government, use of the Security Council veto over
US action in Iraq would actually constitute defeat for both France and the
international system in that it would free the US to act largely alone in a key
region. Should France veto any resolution authorizing use of force by an
intimidating US? If France waives the veto, it will deprive France of influence
and the capacity to be part of the international game.
President Bush telephoned his French counterpart, Jacques Chirac,
to lay the groundwork for what promises to be days, if not weeks, of hard-nosed
negotiations between the world's sole superpower and a country thought by many
to have diplomatic ambitions far surpassing its resources and power. French
challenge to Washington at UN is about preemptive doctrine as much as Iraq. And
there, in a General Body where not all 191 members are created equal, much of
the US effort to forge a common purpose will focus on France.
For France, this diplomatic pas de deux is about America's place
in the future workings of the international system; as it is about Iraq's
threat to international security. For the French, this is about America and its
relations with them and the world. France disliked the way Bush administration
snubbed other global organizations; such as the International Criminal Court,
or the Kyoto Protocol on climate change. French seized upon the Iraqi crisis as
the last best hope for reining in the US juggernaut. The French, like most
Europeans, don't want to give carte blanche to the Americans.
French
ponder broad interests in Middle East, than focusing solely on their relations
with the US. Among France's other interests are its economic ties to Iraq and
the Middle East, France’s historical role in the Middle East, and France’s
un-European recognition of the role of military might in the world today. Paris
clearly wants to safeguard its commercial dealings with Baghdad and the Arab
world. It also wants to be involved in any post-Hussein planning for Iraq.
France wants to influence: Who's going to be influencing events in the Middle
East in the future, that's key for French policy making? France is one of the
very few countries that can contribute to a military operation in Iraq or
anywhere, and they want the US, to be mindful of that. With a view on what
history would say, France don't want to look back some day and say of this
crisis, that was when the US was left on its own in the Middle East. France
want the history to record that France played an important role in this crisis
and tamed American juggernaut, and thus emerged as the second most important
world power in the world, next to United States, the role the nuclear Soviet
Union played during the Cold War as the principal adversary in the Cold War.
President Jacques Chirac wants France to become the principal adversary in the
second Cold War so that hot war may not take place in the world. Jacques Chirac
would use the diplomacy of Nikita Khrushchev to attain super Power Status by
checking and taming the dominant bully of the world.
France
Preventing American Hegemony after the demise of the Soviet Union and the end
of the Cold War. After the end of the ideological divide in Europe, however,
French policy began quickly to reorient itself. As early at 1996, the incoming
French foreign minister, Herve de Charette, described the role of French
foreign policy as "Preventing American Hegemony."
Failure of
President Bush to capture even a single leader of Al Qaeda terrorist network
exposed the oil colonialism motives of Bush Oil Administration in Afghanistan,
Caspian Basin and Iraq. The Franco-German argument that al-Qaida would probably
be a better focus for America's might than Iraq is one that finds agreement
with India and within the Pentagon. The name-calling and diplomatic
backstabbing went on within the NATO alliance, European Union summit Meeting
and in the UN Security Council. No one wears a white hat in this screenplay of
accusations and counter accusations. President Bush’s outright disdain for
debate or international opinion feeds paranoia about America's long-term
intentions in France, Germany, Belgium and the European continent.
Failure to
prove military capability during military operations in Bosnia, Kosovo and
Afghanistan proved that European Union would not emerge as independent military
power, to play independent military operations outside Europe. Bosnia, above
all, is cited as proof by Bush administration hawks that European powers cannot
muster the backbone to take tough action against despots. European military
officers covered during that conflict conceded their frustrations to me.
Military weakness of European Union exposed during Bosnia operations set back
the idea of unifying European defense and foreign policy by decades. Europe has
'rules of engagement' to blame, but the fact is, when people's lives were at
stake, European Union hid behind ‘rules of engagement’ rather than push for
their revision. It smacks of Czechoslovakia, 1938.
France
lost its control over French Colonial Empire because of the United States.
United States supports Islamic fundamentalists that wages war on the modern
government in Algeria. America destroyed French control over the French
Colonial Empire in Indo-China, West Africa and North Africa. France saw a
deliberate attempt by the United States to prevent it from re-emerging as an
independent force in world politics after the war, and many to this day blame
the United States for not aiding French attempts to hold onto Algeria and
Indochina and for thwarting an Anglo-French-Israeli attempt to prevent Egypt
from nationalizing the Suez Canal. France never recovered from the triple
humiliation of capitulation, occupation and collaboration during World War II,
even though De Gaulle’s "Free French Forces" led the march of the
victorious Allied troops into liberated Paris. America and Churchill hated
Charles De Gaulle and engineered his loss in the elections after the war.
By the
early 1960s, De Gaulle was demanding that France wean itself from
"American tutelage. By mid 1960s De Gaulle had ordered that all U.S.
troops be removed from French soil. This led Secretary of State Dean Rusk asked
whether the order included those buried in French soil. Despite US-France
rifts, France never left NATO, though it did drop out of the alliance's
integrated command for a several decades. White House counted France as a
reliable ally throughout the Cold War. As unpleasant as American tutelage was
to the French, the Soviet version of friendship appeared a lot less desirable.
With the demise of Russia, France would like to co-opt Russia into the France,
Germany Russia triangle. France can pretend to be paper superpower, if it could
buy influence over Putin’s foreign policy. France would like to be the rider on
the Russia nuclear Bear, just as it rides the German economic horse, to come to
the rescue of the Third World damsels, especially in the Middle East.
(6) Rumsfeld Woke up Old
Europe
Donald
Rumsfeld would come to regret when he insulted proud Germans as Old Europe. The
insulting retort of Rumsfeld may give birth to new Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf
Hitler. Americans are from Mars and Europeans are from Venus a reference to an
early 1990s self-help book on the differences between men and women. Germany is
a latecomer to this thinking - and certainly, for most of its history, hardly
anyone's idea of Venusian or Feminine. As recently as the Kosovo war the
Germans, citing their historic duty to oppose the kind of genocide they once
perpetrated in Europe, had been aggressive advocates of the use of force. In
the relatively short time since the 1999 Kosovo conflict, however, Germans,
too, have grown wary of American power. Polls showed a majority of Germans
supported the American war in Afghanistan, but early Bush administration snubs
of Europe over trade, the environment and other issues had prepared the ground
for trouble.
Did German
Minister insult or praise George Bush, when she compared Bush to Hitler? May be
German Minister exonerated Adolf Hitler, when she compared George Bush to
Hitler. Germans believe that George Bush follows the tactics of Adolf Hitler.
President Bush’s stated position that America would go to war for national
interests on Iraq, regardless of what the United Nations says runs counter to
everything Germans have been taught, in large part thanks to American de-Nazification
efforts since 1945. German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder somewhat cynically
tapped into anti-Nazism to win re-election. But his position reflected public
attitudes more than it shaped them. However, very few Germans hate Hitler. Even
chancellor Kohl appeared to respect what Hitler did to enhance the power of
Germany. Looking at what President Bush doing now, they would now onwards
justify the imperialist wars launched by Nazi Hitler.
President
Bush finds America confronted by united Germany and France inside European
Union that adamantly opposed American oil colonial schemes in the oil-producing
world. America and Europe deserve each other. America needs France and Germany.
America as well as France and Germany are equally arrogant. America and Europe
bear equal guilt for how the world views their motives. The only real
difference is that one of them America can call the shots and the other the
Europe can only call bluffs. This fact, perhaps more than any other, is driving
the last-minute efforts of France, Germany and now Russia to prevent a conflict
on America's terms. They know that, if the United States has now crossed the
Rubicon and is willing to defy the United Nations, they are powerless to
prevent it.
Europe
must start spending on defense. Decline of European military power is the fault
of the Europeans. It is Europe’s own fault. Even without Russia's economy and
military know-how, the European Union's GDP of $8.5 trillion and its population
of 377 million people should easily be able to create a military force on par
with the smaller United States. Without credible European military capability,
European words are just that: words. Europe's bantamweight military power
increases America's frustration with partners who speak loudly but carry little
firepower. America ignores Europe in the larger debate, because Europe lacks
military capability. In the meantime, the world is left to watch as the serious
issues of the new century reduced to idiotic spectacle of a reckless,
bloodthirsty cowboy versus an ungrateful, cowardly bunch of Euro-weenies.
European Union must support the moves of France and Germany to secure the
assertive role of Europe in world diplomacy otherwise European Union would lose
its relevance and become a satellite of the United States. Failure of Germany
and France in the light of Rumsfeld’s insults could give birth to Adolf Hitler
and Napoleon. Germany is no sissy nation.
United
States engineered the expansion of European Union and NATO to include Poland
and East European Union against the better judgment of the founders of European
Union, hoping the expansion of European Union would undermine the leadership of
Germany and France in the European Union. Had Germany and France been foolish
to invite Muslim Turkey to European Union, the fate of the European union would
have been sealed. If European Union and NATO can agree on a common approach
towards Unite States, then they will be able to agree on many other foreign
policy issues. If Europeans each continue to walk separate paths in their
strategies towards the United States, for many years to come then Europe's
embryonic Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), will become a debating
society without any real clout and capability. Bush Administration finds this
prospect extremely appealing. But the United States should think twice about
whether it serves America’s long-term interests to deliberately weaken the EU's
international diplomatic role. America will need a strong ally, one who shares
many of America’s values and who is ready to use its own political, diplomatic
and military means for shared goals. European Union did and still does in
Afghanistan or Macedonia, or in the fight against Islamic terrorism, or for
economic development in the Third World. Powerful European Union searched for
ways to restart the world economy. United States has a considerable long-term
interest in abstaining from deepening the divisions among West Europeans but
also in actively fostering Europe's painful unification effort, where Germany provides
the economic leadership and France provides the diplomatic and political
leadership. Poland and any of the satellites of United States in the European
Union can neither provide the economic leadership like Germany, nor the
diplomatic leadership like France.
France as a permanent member of the UN Security Council (UNSC)
feels responsible for speaking out and upholding the principles of
international law and to protect the rights and interests of the Non Aligned
Nations. Mr. Chirac got President Bush to make his case against Saddam Hussein
at the UN and to accept a new resolution was a diplomatic success of France.
Chancellor violated one of the most important principles of German post-war
foreign policy: never walk alone. Due to her history, Germany, more than other
countries needed and needs political allies to exercise international
influence. Gerhard Schroeder could be in big trouble but French President
Jacques Chirac would remain in great shape as France as become the 2nd super
power of the world in international stage, the position Soviet Union had
occupied throughout the Cold War.
France, Japan, Germany and Canada are world powers, behind China
and India and Russia and every one of these powers has rights due to the great
powers. President Jacques Chirac and Chancellor Gerhard Schröder hoped to
return France and Germany into the ranks of great powers whose views have to be
taken into account in international diplomacy. Germany’s renewed fame risks to
be short-lived. France still holds considerably more international clout than
Germany. German Foreign Minister Fischer accepted that reality. France can more
easily alter its position - and Mr. Schröder will either have to swallow hard
and follow or be more isolated than ever.
Germany and France are natural leaders of the European Union
because of the size of their economies. India is world’s 4th largest economy
with GNP at PPP ($2.2 trillion), Germany is the world’s 5th largest economy
($1.8 trillion) and France is world’s 6th largest economy ($1.3 trillion),
followed by Britain (7th, $1.2 trillion), Italy (8th, $1.2 trillion), Spain
(14th, $659 billion), and Poland (23rd, $306 billion). Weaker European powers
joining force with United States to check the preeminence of Germany and France
in the European Union.
Weaker
European powers Britain, Italy, Spain and Poland joined forces to challenge
German-French leadership of European Union by supporting United States on Iraq
issue. The Iraqi conflict serves as a magnifying glass for the primary source
of dissent among Europeans: their relationship to the United States. But in
this old European debate, the Iraqi conflict has created new front lines.
Whereas Germany and France traditionally found themselves in different camps of
the transatlantic debate, the government of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder teamed
up with France and its Gaullist tradition of extreme reluctance to blindly
follow the United States. As a result, Mr. Schröder and French President
Jacques Chirac find themselves openly challenging Britain's Tony Blair, Spain's
Jose Maria Aznar and Italy's Silvio Berlusconi who are eager to unconditionally
back America's leadership, and to portray their common opposition to the
Franco-German Alliance and its traditional claim to leading the European Union
(EU). Britain, Spain, Italy and Poland opposing France and Germany and blindly
support United States, to secure American blessing to undermine Germany-France
leadership role in European Union and NATO. As early at 1996, the incoming
French foreign minister, Herve de Charette, described the role of French
foreign policy as "Preventing American Hegemony." France, Germany are
natural adversaries to the United States and twain shall never meet. United
States fought World War I and II against Germany, and it is likely that United
States would be on the other side of the battle lines than Germany, France and
Russia in Third World War. There is no use that France and Germany should
continue the charade of friendship with United States. Germany and France are
born enemies of the United States. Germany, France and Russia would create a
Second Bloc in the new world order and directly compete with American Oil
Colonialism in Caspian Basin, Arabian Gulf, Venezuela, Guinea and Angola. Why
should major world powers allow America establish Oil Colonies in the Islamic
World, when France, Belgium, Germany and Russia can do the same. Germany and
France would finance France-Russia’s Oil Colonialism in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan
and Turkmenistan in exchange for Russian nuclear umbrella over Germany and
France. The public in Canada, Germany and France leads the world in
anti-Americanism. It is likely that Canada would soon join Germany and France
in anti-American Coalition.
(7) Resurgent Germany
Rise of Germany, as a world power is good for the world. Now North Korea has joined the ranks of nuclear weapons power, in 2002. It is high time that Germany and Japan develop nuclear weapons and become legitimate world powers, economic powers and military powers. To many Germans the Second World War ended when German minister of Justice compared Bush to Hitler, she legitimized the legacy of Adolf Hitler and imperial Third Reich as no different than the hegemon US. It ended the guilt German felt for causing Second World War. German minister of Justice succinctly compared Bush to Hitler. She lost her job in the process, but signaled the emergence of an independent voice in Berlin for the first time since Germany crumbled in World War II. Gerhard Schroeder has won a second term as Chancellor primarily because he upheld Germany’s opposition to what President Bush planned for Iraq. The language of German Chancellor is what Indians used to hear from Nehru, Nasser and Tito. A new voice is rising in Europe. History has many cunning passages, and none more cunning than the rite of passage devised in the recent German election. For the same Germany, which took the world to disaster in the 20th century, is now poised to save the humiliated Europe in the 21st century. Germany expresses the enormous resentment in the European Union over the subordinate role assigned to the EU and even NATO by Washington DC. Till now it had been an impotent rage. German people who by their vote have said a clear and uncompromising ‘No’ to the US claims as a hegemon. German ‘No’ is being echoed in every corner of Europe.
German Justice Minister Herta Daubler-Gmelin, said, “Bush wants to divert its attention from his domestic problems. It’s a classic tactic. It’s one that Hitler also used.” It demonstrated how anti-Americanism has moved to the center of national political debate in Germany. This remark should be evaluated by the underlying public opinion in Germany, which suggests that vast majority of Germans, privately love Hitler and are very proud of Nazi imperialism, and secretly awaiting an opportunity to unleash German expansionism over European Union. The European Unification brought about by German leadership, realizes the imperial goals of the Third Reich. Whenever Germany develops and deploys nuclear arsenal, it would consolidate German domination of European Union. Triumphant Germany has peacefully achieved what German armies failed to achieve in the First World War and the Second World War. Every German, whether Rightist or leftist continues to secretly harbor the ideals that catapulted Hitler into power after the defeat in the First World War. Germany is awaiting the acquisition of nuclear arsenal, before it would galvanize European Union into Empire-making frenzy.
Gerhard Schroeder was born after the Nuremberg trials. He is also the first chancellor elected by a united Germany. Free, therefore of the complexes of both defeat and partition, he came up from behind to win an unexpected second term, only because he outbid his opponent in the final phase of the campaign in voicing Germany’s warnings against incipient Hitlerism in US foreign policy across the Atlantic. It Hitler’s marching song was, ‘Deutschland uber Alles’ (Germany above everyone else), Gerhard Schroeder’s is ‘Deutschland uber Allies’ (Germany above all other NATO Allies).
That this has happened is no coincidence. Germany is most populous (82 million), most prosperous ($25,350 GNP per capita), with largest GNP ($2.079 trillion), third largest in terms of GNP and 5th largest GDP the GNP measured at PPP, large surface area (357,000 sq. kms.). United States and Soviet Union could develop Atom Bomb and missiles only after talented German scientists transferred Hitler’s technology and scientific knowledge to Americans and the Soviets. The new voice of resurgent Germany is a voice that is being shushed. But that it is being voiced at all is a turning point of the highest significance in the 21st Century. For even if the present German squawk does not deter the American hawk, the hegemon has been put on the notice that not all his allies are the push over that Britain is. Bush doctrine has declared that the US as hegemon has the unbridled right to wage wars where he liked, against whom he liked, for whatever cause he wished.
Germany under Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder is no longer hemmed in, as much by its present as by its past, as it was from Konrad Adenauer to Helmut Kohl. The looming shadow of the Soviet Union has been removed and half the country is no more in hock to the enemy. Russia may turn out to be a friend in the event of any future Germany-USA clash. Germany is thus set to occupy the place for which it has been predestined by its geopolitics, geography, and economy and the immense talent of its people.
The Eurasian land mass is stirring. Instead of cravenly submitting to the US quest for global dominance, India now has an option to forge military ties with emerging forces in Europe. India’s diplomatic resources should be redeployed out of London to Brussels, Berlin and Paris, as London is no longer one of the significant diplomatic capitals in the world. President Charles de Gaulle failed in his ambition of making France become an alternative fulcrum of a new world order, because France lacked the economic muscle and political clout. Britain has given up any pretence to independence in foreign policy, when it fondly declared its ‘special relationship’ with Washington, which allows Britain to ride to glory piggyback on the Americans. Germany is the only hope of the Europe. Perhaps Germany would someday develop and deploy nuclear weapons. Nuclear Germany may not be bad for Europe.
(8) Concert World Powers
in 2003
Foreign-policy
alignments have gone mad worldwide. A bizarre diplomatic coalition consisting
of Russia, China, France and Germany confronted the United States, Britain,
Italy and Poland, in February 2003 at UN Security Council Meeting on Iraq
Crisis. Who could have imagined such a combination just 10 years ago besides
readers of political thrillers? Iraqi President Saddam Hussein provoked the
great divide in world politics. The situation is diplomatically tough because
if Pentagon goes to war in Iraq over the objections of Moscow, Beijing, Paris
and Berlin, the entire Mid East situation may deteriorate, and France and
Russia may regain their influence over oil-producing Arab world. Germany and
France will have to take decisions to preserve European Union’s unity and to
assert Western Europe’s role on the world stage. If Germany and France fail to
jointly present a common European front to the United States, it will be
impossible to continue working closely with the United States on a
long-standing basis while retaining European dignity and self-esteem. What is
at stake is Europe’s determination to be heeded and to play a leading role on
the world stage. It seems hard to believe that this disunity; and America’s
relationship with Germany and France could ever get repaired. The relationship
between France and America would deteriorate still further to the point of no
return.
(9) 8-Power 21st Century
Concert of World Congress System
Throughout
history the preeminence of any single nation in world order has caused wars.
The Raison d’etat and Balance of power principle determine the counter moves of
the other major world powers that unite to balance the preeminent power. The
preeminence of France in (1618-1814) period caused Napoleonic wars. The
preeminence of Germany in early part of 20th century caused First World War and
the Second World War. The preeminence of United States after 1945 caused
numerous wars, military coups, though it was kept in check by the Soviet Union
and the Non-Aligned Movement led by India. The demise of the Soviet Union and
the preeminence of United States gave birth to American imperial wars in
Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq. Only the 8-Power Concert of Eight World
Powers would maintain world peace and stable world order in 21st Century.
30(8) Pentagon’s New War
Map
(1) Pentagon to Colonize
NAM Nations
After
taking over former Soviet colonies in the Second World, the First World’s Pentagon
embarked upon the grandiose imperial plan to colonize the Non aligned Third
World, and America’s war on Iraq represents the first step in that direction.
United States wanted to establish American Oil colonies throughout the Arab
World, the Third World, and the Non Aligned World, hoping it would retain its
economic predominance, by looting the wealth of the colonies, in the event
American economy lost its growth potential and Dow Jones Index raced downward.
United States took over the Second World, when the former Soviet satellite
states joined the NATO. Non Aligned Nations remains the only obstacle in
America’s grandiose plan for world conquest. The entire white Europe, except
Germany and France solidly joined on the side of American imperialism, the Third
World or the Non Aligned World alone stand as obstacle to America’s conquest of
the world. The Second World abjectly submitted to the domination of the First
World, and agreed to support the First World’s conquest of rest of the world,
the leaders of Non Aligned Nations, notably, India must take lead the Non
Aligned Third World to thwart the imperial march of Pax Americana in the Third
World. Without the leadership of India, the Third World countries would lose
their independence and become part of the neo-colonial empires. Should India
lend its support to imperial Pax Americana or lead the Non Aligned Third World
to thwart the Yankee imperial designs? Either way India stands to gain great.
(2) Precision Guided
Munitions Revolution is a Double Edged Revolution
Western
colonial empires after 1500 AD exploited the technical advantage of cannon
equipped ships to destroy the coastal navies of the Indian Ocean and heralded
the age of European colonial Empires. Pentagon aimed to establish American
colonial empires in the Third World exploiting its military technological lead
in Precision guided Munitions. President Bush rushing United States into wars
of American Oil colonialism, to preempt the deployment of long-range Anti-ship
Cruise missiles equipped with Precision Guided Munitions technology, capable of
sinking American Aircraft carrier battle groups. The PGMs allowed American Air
Force to drop precision bombs from aircrafts flying 30,000 feet high beyond the
range of anti-aircraft guns, apparently heralded the age of Air Power in the
21st Century. However the PGMs also heralded the end of the Age of Aircraft
Carriers, and end of the age of Tanks and end of the age of mechanized warfare,
with the development of the long-range Anti-Ship cruise missiles, anti-tank
missiles equipped with Precision Guided Munitions technology and GPS
technology. The very American military revolution of PGMs that made American
Air force the dominant in land warfare also made American Navy sitting ducks
and highly vulnerable to the anti-ship Cruise missiles. Since victory by air
cannot translate into victory on land, America intends to use US Navy to secure
America’s domination of the oil-producing world, before the deployment of the
anti-ship cruise missile could make US Navy and aircraft carriers vulnerable to
the Asian anti-ship cruise missiles.
(3) US to Play Full-time
Leviathan
US Naval
War College wanted the Pentagon and the CIA to play the role of Leviathan
full-time in Iraq and the Middle East, in immediate future. The only thing that
will change the nasty environment in the Middle East and open the floodgates
for change is if some external power steps in Middle East and plays Leviathan
full-time. Taking down Saddam Hussein will force the United States into playing
that role far more fully than it has played over the past several decades.
Pentagon’s New War Map outlined by US Naval War College Professor of Warfare
Analysis Thomas P.M. Barnett, (“The Pentagon’s New Map,” Esquire, March 2003,
pp 174-179) could give a clue to the factors motivating Great Powers like
Germany and France to join forces with Russia and China to nip the menace of
American Oil Colonialism in the Third World. Germany, France, Belgium, Russia
and China have no option but to oppose the United States before Pentagon
crosses the Rubicon and entrenches itself as the Leviathan full-time of Iraq
and the Middle East. If United States entrenches itself as the Leviathan
full-time of Iraq and the Middle east, than it can only be removed by all out
Third World War. The prevent the Third World war the Concert of World Powers,
namely, Germany, France, Russia, China, India, Canada and Japan must hold a
summit Meeting like the 1814 Congress of Vienna and devise common foreign
policies based on raison d’etat and balance of power to tame and neutralize the
imperial ambitions of the United States in the first decade of the 21st
Century, before imperialist United States crosses the Rubicon and becomes
Leviathan full-time. The preeminence of the United States in the 2000’s threatens
the world order, no different than the preeminence of France under Napoleon
Bonaparte and preeminence of Germany under William Kaiser and Adolf Hitler
presented to their contemporaries. America’s imperial ambitions as outlined in
the Bush Doctrine 2002, doctrine of Preemptive strikes and Clinton’s Doctrine
of Humanitarian Intervention should be opposed before it becomes the menace to
the world, and America crossed the Rubicon in quest of world domination.
(4) Non-Alignment to Fall
like Communism
Pentagon
aims to direct its fury to colonize the Non Aligned Third World, since it has
taken over the Communist Second World before the end of the 2002. US Naval War
College believes that the September 11 attacks did the US national-security
establishment a huge favorably pulling America back from the abstract planning
of the future high-tech wars against near peers into the here-and-now threats
to global order. (Barnett, p. 227)
Since the
end of the cold war, the United States has been trying to come up with an
operating theory of the world- and a military strategy to accompany it, to
leverage the one-superpower status United States, feels it currently enjoys in
the world order. The leading contender of the operating theory of the world
involves identifying the problem parts of the Third world and aggressively
shrinking them, by making them American colonies or satellites, as United
States has already taken over the former Soviet satellite states in the Eastern
Europe. US Naval War College aggressively promote the idea of American Colonial
Empire in the erstwhile Non-Aligned World, which encompass the Third World, and
even today remains outside the alliance structures of the United States.
Ever since
the end of World War II, America has assumed the real threats to its security
resided in countries of roughly similar size, development, and wealth-in other
words, other great powers like America. During the Cold War, that other great
power was the Soviet Union. When the big Red machine evaporated in the early 1990s,
America flirted with concerns about a United Europe, a powerhouse Japan, and
most recently a rising China. What was interesting about all these scenarios is
the assumption that only an advanced state can truly threaten America. The rest
of the world, those less-developed parts of the world were referred to in
Pentagon military plans as the “Lesser Included,” meaning that if we built a
military capable of handling a great power’s military threat, it would always
be sufficient for any minor scenarios America might have to engage in the leas
advanced world. That assumption was shattered by September 11. America was not
attacked by a nation or even any army but by a group of “Super-Empowered
Individuals willing to die for their cause. Because of 9/11 America launched
the global war on terrorism. The War on terrorism is the prism through which
White House should view every bilateral security relationship America has
across the world.
(5) Non-Conventional
Warfare Capability
Classic
state-on-state wars are becoming fairly rare, so if the United States is in the
process of transforming its military to meet the threats of tomorrow, then what
it should look like. We fight fire with fire. If the civilizations live in the
world increasingly populated by terrorists who are super-Empowered Individuals,
willing to die for their cause, then Civilizations should also create the
military of Super-Empowered Individuals willing to die to kill terrorists
wherever they may be. The populous countries India and china have a historic
role to play to develop Super Infantry in the 21st Century.
(6) Entire Gap (acronym
for NAM)
US Naval
War College asserts, “Military engagement with Saddam Hussein’s regime in
Baghdad is not only necessary and inevitable, but good for the United States.
America’s next war in the Gulf will mark a historical turning point-a moment
when Washington takes real ownership of strategic security in the age of
globalization.” The real reason Naval War College support a war like Iraq is
that the “resulting long-term military commitment will finally force America to
deal with the entire Gap” (Non Aligned World) as a strategic threat
environment. Disconnectness defines danger. Problem areas requiring American
attention called the “Gap” (acronym for Non Aligned World). Shrinking the Gap
(NAM world) is possible by stopping the ability of terrorist networks to access
the core via the “seam states” that lie along the Gap’s (NAM’s) bloody
boundaries. In this war on terrorism, the US will place a special emphasis on
cooperation with these states. What are the classic seam states? Mexico,
Brazil, Algeria, Greece, Turkey, South Africa, Morocco, Pakistan, Thailand,
Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia. Great powers and civilization states must
join efforts to foil the attempts of the terrorist networks to access the
Civilized world via the “Seam States” that lie along the Great Powers “Core”
and the “Gap” “Third World”, namely Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, Morocco,
Algeria, Greece, Turkey, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and
Indonesia. United States ahs focused to takeover these counties, the “Seam
States” to control the global access of the terrorists. America feels that
Russia, China and Australia are also concerned about the threat of the global
access by the terrorists via these Seam States, hence would accept the logic of
joining force with United States.
(7) Functioning Parts of
world
What parts
of the world can be considered functioning right now? North America, South
America (Brazil, Argentina, Chile), Expanded European Union, Putin’s Russia,
Asia (Japan, China and India, Australia and New Zealand, which accounts for
roughly four billion out of a global population of six billion. This area is
the Core of the Globalization. The major players in the Core of the
Globalization are United States, European Union, Russia, Japan, China, India,
Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Brazil.
(8) Gap Nations Excluded
from Globalization
The US
Naval War College argues that the “Gap,” the regions of the world that are
excluded from globalization’s growing core-namely all oil-gas producing
nations, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Iran, Uzbekistan,
Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Oman, Yemen,
Libya, Algeria, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Venezuela, Colombia. The Gap also
includes all nations involved in global trade in heroin and cocaine, namely,
Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Pakistan Afghanistan, Colombia, and Panama. The Gap
includes all of Africa minus South Africa, the Caribbean Rim, Central America,
Andean America, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Middle East, South
West Asia and South East Asia. It includes the entire Third World or entire Non
Aligned World minus India, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile.
(9) Menacing US Leviathan
in Middle East
“The
Middle East has long been neighborhood of bullies eager to pick on the weak.
The only thing that will change that nasty environment and open the floodgates
for change if some external power steps in an plays Leviathan full-time. Taking
down Saddam, the region’s bully-in-chief, will force the U.S. into playing that
role far more fully than it has over the past several decades, primarily
because Iraq is the Yugoslavia of the Middle east- a crossroads of
civilizations that has historically required a dictatorship to keep the peace.
As a baby-sitting jobs go, this one (Iraq) will be a doozy, making America’s
lengthy efforts in post war Germany and Japan look simple in retrospect. But it
is the right thing to do, and now is the right time to do it, and America is
only country that can. Freedom cannot blossom in the Middle East without
security, and security is America’s most influential public-sector export. By
that author does not mean arms exports, but basically the attention paid by
American military forces to any region’s potential for mass violence. America
is the only country on earth capable of exporting security in a sustained
fashion, and America has a very good track record of doing it.” (T.P.M.
Barnett, “The Pentagon’s New Map”, Esquire, March 2003, p. 228)
(10) Open Floodgates of
Change in Arabia
France,
Germany, Belgium, Russia, China and India oppose America’s war on Iraq because
America misusing its military preeminence to attempt world conquest. America
and Pentagon determined to change the world environment and open the floodgates
of change in the Middle East by forcing its way to step into the Middle East as
the external occupation force and determined to play Leviathan full time.
United States wants to destroy the multi-ethnic nations that have been at the
cross roads of the civilizations, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Soviet Union, Afghanistan.
United States want to impose an occupation force on Iraq as it did in Germany
and Japan. Professor Thomas P.M. Barnett, Professor of Warfare Analysis, United
States Naval War College, the leading influence on policy makers in the
Pentagon, the CIA and the White House, declared that United States wants to
step in as external power, the foreign occupation forces, and wants to play
Leviathan full-time. Taking down Saddam Hussein, the Middle East’s secular
bully-in-chief, will force the United States into playing the role of the
Leviathan full-time. Failure of the Convert of World Powers, France, Germany,
Russia, China and India to tame and defeat America’s colonial designs on Iraq,
before United States crosses the Rubicon and become the Leviathan full-time
threatens the world peace. America led by President Bush became a danger to the
world, as had been Napoleon Bonaparte, William Kaiser, Adolf Hitler. The
disintegration of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq had been
the military objective of the United States. America intends to conquer the
Oil-producing Third World and establish American Colonial Empire in the 21st
Century. France, Germany, Russia, China, India and Japan should pool military
resources and defeat the Pentagon’s dreams of becoming the Leviathan full-time
in the Middle East, before the United States crosses the Rubicon, lest only the
Third World War remains the last recourse for Germany, France, Russia and China
to bring down the Leviathan full-time dream of the United States in the Middle
East. The Concert of World Powers should be created by great powers by
convening 1814 Congress of Vienna’s reincarnation in 2000’s to check the menace
of American transforming into a Leviathan full-time, before United States
crosses the Rubicon.
(11) Play full time
Leviathan in Iraq Iran
US Naval
War College believes that taking down Saddam Hussein would allow United States
to step in the Middle East and play Leviathan full-time, and it is the right
thing to do, and America is the only country that can do it and now is the
right time to do it. Germany, France, Russia, China and India do not believe
that it is the right thing that an external power should step in the Middle
East and play Leviathan full-time. Germany, France, Russia, China and India do
neither believe that now in 2003 is the right time to allow an external power
to step in the Middle East and control it, nor that United States is the only
country that can step in the Middle East as the outside power and play
Leviathan full-time, because every one of the great power has the military
capability to do so. China, India, Russia and Germany can also step in the
Middle East and play Leviathan full-time. Chinese Mongol Empire ruled the
Baghdad Caliphate and the Islamic world in the 13th Century and offshoot of the
Mongols ruled the Islamic world after than till the end of the First World War
in 1920. Indian Empire ruled over Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and
Yemen as late as 1947. India controlled Iran and Persian Gulf now called
Arabian Gulf had been Indian Lake in 18th, 19th & early 20th Century. India
as well as China is more capable and resourceful to step in and play Leviathan
full-time in Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and the Middle East more than
United States. In terms of warfare analysis it is stupid to argue that United
States is more capable than India and China to step in as outside power in the
Middle East and play Leviathan full-time. If United States steps in as an
outside power and plays Leviathan full-time in Iraq, then France, Germany,
Russia, India and china also have right inherent to great powers to step in and
play Leviathan full-time in the Middle East and carve out Oil Colonies in the
oil-producing world.
(12) Bush at War
Bob
Woodward reports in “Bush at War” that it was only days after the 9/11 attacks
that Bush told his close advisers that wanted plans drawn up for a possible
attack on Iraq. That was in September 11, 2001, and only in February 2003 that
demonstrators began opposing Bush’s war plans on Iraq. Influenced by French,
German and Belgium opposition to the Bush war moves on Iraq, Worldwide protests
in February 2003, against Bush’s war plans on Iraq is a bad news for President
Bush, a distinct shift against America on a key issue of American foreign
policy for the first time since 9/11. The forces opposing America’s efforts to
build an imperial coalition in support of colonial occupation of Iraq beginning
to have an upper hand. America’s coming clash with Saddam Hussein has been
among the most deliberate and slow-moving confrontation in the recorded history
of warfare. It appears that those favoring the imperial invasion of Iraq, for establishing
the Oil Colony in Iraq, might have seized the opportunity the 9/11 attacks
provided to the American diplomacy. During the presidency of President George
H.W. Bush (1989-1993) American Ambassador to Iraq had directly incited the
Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, by personally promising Saddam Hussein that United
States would not intervene if Iraq attacked Kuwait, which had hitherto refused
to allow American bases in Kuwait, unlike Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and Bahrain.
After defeating Iraq on Kuwait war, President Bush allowed Saddam to use
helicopters to massacre Kurds that were rising in revolt against Saddam Hussein
and President Bush allowed Saddam Hussein in power in Iraq, fearing that in the
absence of Saddam Hussein Saudi Arabia and Kuwait might ask American troops to
vacate the military bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. It is no accident that
American fighters shot down the American military helicopter that was carrying
5 top Kurd leaders to their scheduled meeting with the American top brass for possible
Alliance for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. It had been known t hat Saddam
Hussein took over power in Iraq with the support of the CIA. India, Russia and
China got enraged when they learnt that the America’s war on terrorism was just
a camouflage for American Oil Colonialism as phase one for the war on Iraq. The
diplomats of India, Iran, Russia and China have to decide whether they should
militarily join the war on the side of Iraq and inflict defeat on United
States, or wait till United States gets fully exposed and become naked in the
eyes of the world as menace to the world peace, so that world would rally
around France, Germany, Belgium, Russia, India, China and Japan and defeat
American Oil Colonialism and establish non-American colonial control over
oil-producing Islamic world. United States would cease to be a Super Power,
even a great world power if it loses control over Saudi Arabian, Brunei, Middle
East oil. Superpower status of the United States depends upon its ability to
exercise colonial control over American oil colonies, and the end of the
American oil colonialism would result in the end of the great power status of
United States. Oil is the Achilles’ heel of the United States. The purpose of
the Third World War shall be to undermine America’s control over American Oil
Colonial Empire in Saudi Arabia, Arabian Gulf, Brunei, Colombia, Venezuela,
Angola, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea and Libya. Top bring down the behemoth
United States the military attack on mainland America is not required, the
military invasion of Saudi Arabia, Brunei, UAE and Kuwait would suffice. The
Third World War shall be fought for the control over oil and gas resources of
the world.
(13) Senator Robert
Byrd’s Crusade
The
Executive Branch, the presidency is moving America towards dictatorship,
violating the norms of democratic policy, flouting international law and taking
unnecessary measures that would actually harm America’s national security.
President bush wants to attack Iraq, a nation that is not imminently threatening
but may be sometime in future. An attack on Iraq would be completely unprovoked
and is completely not necessary at this time. Dealing with Saddam Hussein is no
simple attempt to defang a villain. Rather it is a turning point in United
States foreign policy and even of recent history of the world. What the
president is doing is nothing less than the first test of a revolutionary
doctrine applied in an extraordinary way, the doctrine of preemption. Bush
Administration refused to face questions about the Iraq war’s aftermath and
even for contemplating becoming an occupying power.
(14) US Policing of
Entire World
America is
about to establish a world order based on policing of the entire world. Bush
Administration is contravening international law, with the unfortunate result
that United States intentions are suddenly subject to damaging worldwide
speculation. In the perception of the world threat to world peace comes from
Bush Administration, Pentagon and America. Bush administration in engaged in
reckless and arrogant policies especially that of an extremely destabilizing
and dangerous foreign policy debacle, symbolized as outrageous. American Senate
and America is sleepwalking through history. President Bush is wrong to engage
in such acts as labeling whole countries, like Iraq, Iran and North Korea as
evil.
Would
America gain if Pentagon’s war on Iraq, even if won results in the unfortunate
result that United States intentions suddenly subject to damaging worldwide
speculation? Power is psychological different from naked force. World ganged
against Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler primarily because it thought that
napoleon and Hitler represented evil not good. It would damage United States if
in the perception of the diplomats of the world, if President Bush and America
loses its moral high grounds.
America’s
Senate and America is sleepwalking through the turning point in the American
Foreign Policy and the recent history of the world, since Bush-Cheney Oil
Administration embarking upon the first test of a revolutionary doctrine
applied in an extraordinary wary the doctrine of preemption to carve out
American Oil Colonial Empire camouflaged as America’s War on terrorism,
misusing the compassion world felt towards America in the aftermath of the 9/11
terrorist attacks. President Bush attempting to change the course of world
history, by creating legal precedents and diplomatic conventions for creating
Oil Colonial Empires in the 21st Century, justified by global war on terrorism.
(15) India supports Pax-Americana
White
Christian Europeans in the name of spread of Christianity and Christian
Civilization destroyed and conquered the superior Civilizations of Incas,
Mayas, and Aztecs, and started the Age of White European Christian Colonial
Empires after 1500. Similarly, President Bush started a new Age of Oil
Colonialism with his deceptive invasion of Afghanistan for control over
Turkmenistan Oil and gas Pipeline and fooled the world by camouflaging it in
the name of war on Islamic terrorism. India fully supports America’s declared
foreign policy objective to carve out American oil colonial empire throughout
Islamic world, provided India gets a fair share of American Colonial empire, in
kind as free oil for India’s need. If United States willing to handover Kuwait
of UAE to India for colonial occupation than India is all out in favor of
American Oil Colonial occupation of Iraq, otherwise India has no option but to
join forces with China, Russia, France, Germany and Japan to carve out
competing Oil colonial empire.
India is
willing to militarily support American Oil colonial empire, if India assured a
fair share of Oil Loot, otherwise India would have to join the adversaries of
the United States, to get its fair share of the Oil resources of the Oil
Colonial Empires. In the rush for Oil Colonialism India has no permanent allies
or friends as India has only permanent Oil Interests. Whichever side wants to
have the military support of India, should agree to let India have free crude
oil and natural gas for India’s domestic consumption.
(16) Naked in Showers of
Oil Colonialism
All great
powers, including United States and India, are naked in the showers of Oil
Colonialism in the 21st Century. Indian love president George Bush, because he
is naked imperialist and pursues America’s foreign policy to promote the
America’s naked imperial interests, not the hidden agenda of Catholic Christian
religious Right conspiracy. India should be willing to provide 10 million
soldiers to Pentagon to establish worldwide oil colonies, in exchange for
Indian oil colonies in couple of oil-rich countries. India would like to follow
the example of President Bush and conquer an oil-producing country or countries
producing 5 million barrels a day crude oil, to meet India’s domestic requirement
of oil and gas. India, China, Germany, France, Russia and Japan would love
President Bush, if America’s occupation of Iraq established the precedent and
customary international law that world powers could establish Oil Colonies at
will, by doctrine of preemption.
(17) Visionary Bush
Crossed the Rubicon
President
George W. Bush is a great visionary and he crossed the Rubicon and led United
States through the turning point in the United States foreign policy and the
recent history of the world by reestablishing the new glorious Age of colonial
empires in the 21st Century, which would result in the loss of independence and
sovereignty of more than 100 states that became independent after the Second
World War. The great multitudes of the newly independent states in the Third
world that go by the name of Non Aligned Nations should be reorganized under 8
or 10 Colonial Empires, led by Great Powers, namely, United States, China,
India, Russia, Germany, France, Japan, Canada, and Brazil. India loves America’s
oil Colonialism but results when white Christians cheat India its fair share of
colonial spoils. Indian Empire provided 6,500,000 troops for First World War
and 3,500,000 troops for the Second World War, but was cheated out of its fair
share of colonial empires. Had Indian Empire supplied to the Germany-led
alliance 6.500,000 soldiers in the First World War and 3,500,000 soldiers
during Second World War then Germany-led alliance would have won the First as
well as Second World Wars. India played more important role than United States
in the defeat of Germany during First World War. India wants to be paid for the
contributions it made towards Allied victories in the First World War and the
Second World War. Without the support of Indian empire allied Powers would have
lost the First as well as the Second World War. It is because of the sacrifices
made by Indian soldiers that France and Britain are free nation today.
(18) Indians Love
Imperialist Bush
India
would not oppose American Oil colonialism for the sake of opposition and for
the sake of protecting the independence of the oil colonies, as India believes
that great powers have an inherent right to create Oil Colonial Empires in the
21st Century. India would oppose American Oil Colonialism only if the anti-American
Colonial powers offer India better deal in terms of oil-concessions. India
would oppose American Oil colonialism in Iraq and Saudi Arabia only to join the
hostile colonial alliance led by France, Germany and Russia, that too only if
India gets a better deal and fair share of the incomes of the Oil Colonialism.
India would not fight for Iraq to keep Iraq, independent and free from American
colonial occupation. India may oppose American oil war on Iraq to impose
Russian or French or German oil colonialism over Iraq in competition with
Yankee Oil Colonialism. India would not support a colony against the occupying
colonial power, though India may join with hostile colonial power to takeover
American Oil colonies to establish the rule of new colonial powers. India had
the bad experience during Non Aligned Movement, when India led the newly
independent nations to freedom and independence, only to be insulted by newly
independent nations. India wants the newly independent nations become part of
new colonial empires that would replace the nation states as the principal
actors in the international system in the 21st century. India would closely
work with Colonial powers including United States, China, Russia, Japan,
Germany and France, to impose just rule or New Colonial Empires over more than
100 newly independent states that currently enjoy sovereignty and membership of
the United Nations, in the first half of the 21st Century. That is why Indians
love president George W. Bush. President George W. Bush is a naked imperialist
not a Papal agent, and Indians love him for America’s dream of American Oil
Colonialism throughout Islamic world.
(19) India Supports
Yankee Oil Colonialism
India
would support American Oil Imperialism and president Bush War for Colonial
Occupation of oil-rich Iraq, only if India guaranteed a fair share of the
incomes of the Oil Colonialism, in terms of free oil for India’s domestic
consumption, otherwise India would be forced to join the hostile coalition that
opposed the American Oil Colonialism, only if the hostile coalition hoped to
establish Alternate Oil Colonial Empire in competition with American Oil
Colonialism. The purpose of the Concert of World Powers shall be to check the
preeminence of American hegemony and expansion of American Oil Colonial Empire.
India is a conservative world power and respects the rights of world powers to
create colonial empires in the 21st century to make the world safe for world
civilizations threatened with extinction due to the terrorist attacks launched
by barbarian religious intolerant terrorists. India like United States believes
in the right inherent in the great power status, which obligates the world
powers to secure control over terrorism prone and terrorism promoting regions
so that world become safe for civilized nations. President Bush is the brave
new frontier leader guiding the World Civilizations in the 21st Century in the
age of global terrorism and religious intolerant cults, so that tolerant World
Religions could be free to propagate tolerant religious truths and promote
tolerant culture in the world.
30(vii) France Tamed East
Europe
(1) Old Europe Tamed New
Europe
France and
Germany had a rude awakening, when their supposedly protégé Poland and other
former Soviet satellite countries, after joining the NATO took the lead to
denounce the leadership of Germany-France Axis and cast their lot with United
States, and conspired to make the expanded European Union a satellite of the
hegemon America. France and Germany should not formally vote to admit those
East and Central European countries that supported United States against
France, Germany and Belgium in the Iraq Crisis. French President Jacques Chirac
has summoned up the unmitigated gall of telling Eastern and Central Europe to
shut up about Iraq, if they wanted to make it into the European Union. East and
Central European ex-Iron curtain states humbly follow United States because
they are used to taking orders from bigger countries, so they should better
take orders from France and Germany who feed their impoverished economies.
French President Chirac correctly adopted Soviet-style big-guy behavior,
warning pro-American Central and Eastern smaller fellow on the European block
that they had better play French and German way or they won’t play at all in
the European Union. Former Soviet satellites need admission to the European
Union for the sake of trade and political security. America is wrong to argue
that East and Central Europe owes its current freedom much to the United States
and far less to the France and Germany. It was German Ost-Politik that caused
the Iron Curtain to fall. Ex-Iron curtain nations scold Chirac. Expanded
European Union is no longer Napoleon's Europe but the Europe of dissidents.
Chirac is doing exactly what he criticizes the United States of doing: telling
other countries what to do. Just as United States is the preeminent power in
the world, France is the preeminent power of Europe.
If smaller
states of East Europe cannot accept the leadership of France and Germany then
they should not join EU and rather apply for the membership of NAFTA to serve
their new masters better. New East European members of the European Union are
the Trojan horse of America and conspiring to destroy the leadership of France
and Germany in the European Union from within. Ex-Soviet satellite states of
Eastern Europe voice their loyalty to their new Yankee master by insulting
France, whose vote would be crucial next year, whether these Ex-soviet
satellite states join the European Union or not. Former Soviet colonies voice
their indignation, coupled with their refusal to withdraw support for the U.S.
threat of force against Saddam Hussein, underscored how the ex-communist
countries of the "new Europe" are finding strength, solidarity and
unprecedented diplomatic influence in Europe by sticking together in support of
the United States to undermine the Paris-Berlin Axis that hitherto dominated
European Union since inception. Just as election of Bolshevik Polish Bishop as
Pope John Paul II resulted in the enhanced American influence in the Vatican
government and decline of German, French, Italian influence in the Vatican,
similarly the entry of the new East European members of the European Union
means disaster for Germany and France.
The French
president warned the 10 ex-communist countries invited to join the European
Union in May 2004 signed declarations of support for the United States' tough
position against Iraq that France may reconsider their entry into the European
Union. "It is not well brought-up behavior. East Europeans missed a good
opportunity to keep quiet. East European nations were on "dangerous"
ground because the parliaments of the 15 western European countries that now
make up the EU still must formally vote to admit the eastern newcomers. France
told prospective EU members that joining EU gives a lot of rights but also
creates a lot of obligations, including solidarity. As Chirac's remarks sank in
fury erupted. "Chirac's outburst must be understood as the recognition that
a dream is beginning to unravel. The New Europe imagined and created from
rubble after the last war will not gravitate necessarily around the
Paris-Berlin axis. Romania condemned France as “Le Petit Big Brother."
Bulgaria has offered a 150-member non-combat unit in case of war against Iraq,
and its President Georgi Parvanov summoned France's ambassador in Feb ‘03 in a
show of displeasure and at a meeting with the envoy, Jean-Loup Kuhn-Delforge,
Parvanov "expressed concern about the emotional statement" by Chirac,
and said, "Bulgaria insists on mutual respect between EU members and
applicant countries, between big and small states. Pressure by one state on
another should not be allowed."
As
seriousness of the President Chirac's remarks sank in fury erupted. "Chirac's
outburst must be understood as the recognition that a dream is beginning to
unravel. The New Europe imagined and created from rubble after the last war
will not gravitate necessarily around the Paris-Berlin axis. Romania condemned
France as “Le Petit Big Brother." Hungarian government respected France's
right to express its opinion. But reaction elsewhere was ferocious. In many
east European countries, Chirac's remark was translated as "shut up"
rather than "keep quiet," only fueling the collective sense of
outrage. Lithuanians said: "It looks like Chirac has forgotten that
eastern European countries broke free from Communism and will not be the silent
servants of Paris." Slovakia Pravda wrote "neither Slovakia nor any
other candidate country will enter the EU to keep silent, but in order to make
their voice be heard more." Romanians called Chirac a
"hypocrite" and accused him of misreading its support for a quick and
decisive end to the Iraq crisis. "What Chirac doesn't understand is that
Romania is not pro-American, nor anti-French, nor anti-German, and least of all
bloodthirsty for Iraq". "Did the Europeans and especially the French
ever understand what Romania endured under Communism? Romania is desperate.
Romania sees in the United States at this time the strongest guarantee that it
won't have to return to the quagmire."
(2) Islamic Conquest of
EU via Turkey
Both
France and Germany are has-beens on the stage of history. Bloated welfare
states have enervated both countries economies. German and French populations
are literally dying off, kept on life support by immigration from the Middle
East and Africa. With birthrate plummeting among native-stock Europeans, these
newest immigrants may finally accomplish what the Ottomans couldn’t at the
siege of Vienna: the Islamic conquest of Europe. In the wake of these
demographic changes, relations between the United States and European Allies
can only get worse. Americans may never get France and Germany to love United
States. America does not care to earn the respect and undying affection of its
faint-hearted friends. American media calls France and Germany “Putative
Allies.” America got Polish Bishop elected as Pope John Paul II, which helped
Americans gain control over Vatican government, and resulted in the decline of
the influence of Germany and France in the Vatican. Americans profited by
Poland and East European’s entry into the European Union and new members ganged
up against the Paris-Berlin Axis in European Union. American lobbied for the
entry of Turkey into European Union, hoping the Muslim Turkey would result in
the Islamic conquest of Christian European Union and enhance American influence
over Europe. The Ottoman conquest of Byzantine had similarly helped the Roman
Catholic Church, and Rome had helped Ottoman conquerors in their conquest of
the Eastern Christianity in Asia Minor.
(3) Anglo-Saxons Hated
French & Germans
Historically
Anglo Saxons, British and Americans have hated French and Germans and vice
versa. The public insults hurled by main media, on heads of the other adversary
nations reflects the clash of civilizations. Sun the British tabloid tells
Frenchmen that French President Chirac is a worm. No wonder French hate English
and Yankees, more than they ever hated any other race in their history. France
is asserting its natural role in Europe. France is not making France more
important than what it is. France is the leading power of Europe. In the post
Cold War new world order France is the Second Super Power of the world, heading
the Second Pole to oppose the preeminence of the United States, the exalted
role Soviet Union enjoyed during Cold War. Obviously England is ashamed that it
could only become a servant of the United States. The GNP at PPP of top
European powers in 2002 of Germany ($1.8 trillion), France ($1.3 trillion), and
Britain ($1.2 trillion), makes Britain weaker than Germany and France and this
is an insult Englishmen can’t stomach. Is Chirac a hypocrite because in the
end, it speculated, he would back down and support military action? Why do
British people feel Chirac is arrogantly strutting about trying to make France
seem more important in the world than it really is? British tabloid tells Paris
Chirac "worm" on Iraq. A British tabloid newspaper opened a new front
in a war of words with France over Iraq in Feb ‘03 by attacking Jacques Chirac
on his own turf in an edition handed out free in Paris that depicted the
president as a giant worm. "Chirac Est Un Ver" (Chirac Is A Worm)
blared the Sun's special front-page headline in French above a photomontage of
an earthworm bearing his head and crawling out of a map of France. "We
think your president, Jacques Chirac, is a disgrace to Europe by constantly
threatening to veto military action to enforce the will of the United Nations
in Iraq," the Sun said on the front page of the Paris version, written in
French. Chirac resisted US and British pressure for a war on Baghdad,
irritating US President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair
but winning strong support from the overwhelming majority of his own electorate
in France. France called the Sun's tone contemptuous, aggressive and vulgar.
Englishmen have become paranoid of French economic miracle, while England is
sinking. British subjects hate that the British Monarch acts like a maid to
Yankee President and German Chancellor. Britain has reconciled to the sudden
rise of France as the world’s second Super Power, the status earlier enjoyed by
Soviet Union during Cold War.
(4) French Like Russians
More than Yankees
German and
French people like Russians more than they like British and Americans. France
and Germany would develop closer military and diplomatic ties with Putin’s
Russia to retaliate against the insults hurled by Americans and British on
President Chirac. English hate French and Germans. Americans now hate French
and Germans. The Atlantic solidarity is dead. Atlantic Alliance would soon die
also. Germany and France would fight the third World War on the other side of
the battle lines than Britain and America. It is the clash of Anglo Saxon
Civilization against Gothic and Frank Civilization of Europe. The relations
between England and France during 21st Centuries would attain level of
animosities it had during 18th and 19th centuries. If American press reflects American
public opinion and public taste then it is certain that France and Germany
would remain mortal enemies of the United States throughout the 21st Century,
and the Atlantic Alliance is dead. Germany cannot allow American troops in
German soil, after this display of public hatred towards France and Germany.
American Press highlighting German invasions of France to sow seeds of discord
in the current France-Germany Détente. Echoing a line used last week by US
tabloid the New York Post, also owned by media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, the Sun
recalled the sacrifices British and American soldiers made for France in two
world wars. The Post made waves in France with a front-page photograph of
American war graves in Normandy. "British people feel Chirac is arrogantly
strutting about trying to make France seem more important in the world than it
really is. Are you not ashamed of your president?" the Sun asked, calling
Chirac a hypocrite because in the end, it speculated, he would back down and
support military action. When Saddam Hussein has gone, people in Britain and
America will look at France and ask themselves whether France is much of an
ally of America any more. American people will ask themselves why anyone should
bother with France and its leader. France and Germany would never again be
friends of Britain and United States and the fate of NATO sealed and American
would have to move out its troops from German soil. France and Germany are no
more Allies of the United States and Britain and they may become the enemies in
the Third World War. The growing rift of Britain and United States with France
and Germany provide new diplomatic opportunity for Indian and world’s
Diplomats. Just as Henry Kissinger and President Nixon exploited the growing
Sino-soviet rift to cement Sino-US strategic relationship, President Putin
would also exploit growing rifts of France and Germany with United States and
Britain to cement triangular military alliance of Russia Germany and France.
In 2000’s
France would head the anti-Britain and anti-US coalition, as Soviet Union led
the world against American imperialism. French now firmly believe that English
Anglo-Saxons are uncouth and uncivilized like English language. French
politicians are disgusted by the insults hurled by les Anglo-Saxons. President
Jacques Chirac's spokesman Catherine Colonna told, "Insults often say more
about the people who make them than about those they claim to describe."
"It's disgusting," said French Transport Minister Gilles de Robien.
Jean-Jacques Aillagon, the French Culture Minister said: "It's aggressive,
very disagreeable, pretty vulgar and shows contempt for our country. I'd say
they've been very badly brought up." People of Germany and France have
historically better opinion about Russian Slavs than they have had for les
Anglo Saxons. The recent insults hurled by American and British Press against
French leadership would result in the military and diplomatic Alliance forged
by France Germany and Russia in early part of the 21st Century to the detriment
of American Oil Colonialism, NATO and United States.
The
relations between America and France and Germany, and between Britain and
France would never be same again. France has long and bitter memories about the
way in which les Anglo-Saxons have cheated France of its role in the world.
France would like to bring about the increase in her ability to influence the
events on the ground and world diplomacy.
France by
its expert diplomatic maneuvering brought about the diplomatic alliance among
Germany, France, and Russia, and started the new course in world diplomacy, the
Concert of World Powers to tame the preeminence of United States in the 21st
Century. French President Jacques Chirac warned Bulgaria, Poland, Lithuania and
other former Soviet satellites in Central and East Europe, to shut up about
Iraq and not declare their support to the United States, if they want to make
it to the European union, as the European Parliaments have to make the final
vote about their entry into the European Union. Germany and France would veto
the entry of pro-American new members into European Union. Why should France
and Germany subsidize those that are used to taking directions from bigger
countries, and have replaced Soviet Union with United States as their masters,
disregarding the better claims of Germany and France, for their total loyalty
and subordination. Germany and France should boot out of European Union such
new members from Central and East Europe as declared their pro-American
anti-French and anti-German positions and conspired to undermine Paris-Berlin
Axis of the European Union.
30(10) Post-Iraq Saudi
Reforms
(1) KSA & Kuwait to
Fall After Iraq & Iran
America
invaded Iraq to establish American oil colony in secular Iraq, just a first
step toward Pax Americana throughout the Arab world. Washington-Mecca Axis the
alliance of American Oil Colonialism and Wahhabi fundamentalism could provide
the blueprint to reorganize the secular liberal Iraq. Would America change
secular Iraq to become fundamentalist like Saudi Arabia, as the Wahhabi
Hashemite King Faisal I installed by British secret services in Iraq in 1921,
after the First World War? However, American could also plan to conquer and
colonize Saudi Arabia directly, once Iraq is colonized and subdued. Britain and
America presently may favor the Muslim Prime Minister in Turkey, since he
favored the American war efforts more than the secular MPs of the Turkey’s
Parliament. Would United States promote Turkey as the paramount power of the
Middle East to bring Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE under the direct occupation
of the NATO, and governed by the successors of the Ottoman Empire. British and
American oil colonialism destroyed the Ottoman Empire to establish American oil
colonies by allowing Wahhabi House of Al Saud to rule Saudi Arabia and Wahhabi
clergy to rule Mecca & Medina. However, with Turkey as the anchor of NATO
in the Middle East and more reliable an American Ally than Saudi Arabia, the
Pentagon may prefer the direct rule of NATO and Turkey over Iraq, Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait and UAE. Why should American Oil companies pay high price for Saudi
Arabian oil, if they could loot it at will, and take oil virtually free? Ruler
of Abu Dhabi during the last Arab Summit in February 2003 demanded that Saddam
Hussein stepped down and allowed Armed forces of Arab League nations to enter
Iraq and govern it for some years, before democratic elections could be held to
transfer power to the elected representatives of the Iraqi people. Perhaps the
same logic would justify that in the post-Saddam era, the political power in
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE could be transferred to the armed forces of
Turkey, Iraq and other Arab League nations, for some years before the elections
would elect the new governments in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE. The principle
that justified the transfer of sovereignty and political power in Iraq to the
armed forces of the Arab League nations, would also justify the transfer of
political power and sovereignty of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE for a few years
to the Islamic troops of Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and other Arab
League nations for the period it would require to transform the Wahhabi ruled
society to become secular liberal democratic society responsible to elect
democratically elected representatives of the people. The American conquest of
Iraq would mean that Wahhabi Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Oman and Yemen
would lose their independence and sovereignty within a few years and become
part of the neo-colonial Empires.
(2) Birth of the Oil
Colonial Empires
The United
States, European Union, China, Japan and India headed for economic disaster, if
they fail to establish Oil Colony in Iraq and exploit its oil resources to
enrich America. America’s GNP estimates of $ 8 trillion, based on the fraudulent
accounting frauds of numerous companies, like Enron, World Com, leading many
economists to wonder whether the correct estimate of USA’s GNP for 2002 would
be around $6 trillion rather than $8.3 trillion estimated by World Bank. Only
as an Oil Colonial Power could United States reestablish its economic
predominance in the world economy. Without American Oil Colonies in Iraq and
Saudi Arabia, the United States economy would lose its luster. The rush for
Gold created European Colonial Empires after 1500 AD. The rush for Crude Oil
and Natural Gas creating a New Age of Oil Colonial Empire in the 21st Century.
The Eight World Powers would compete headlong with United States in their
scramble for creating rival colonial empires. The year 2003 would go down in
the history, as the time when the genie of the Colonial Empires, let loose by
the Bush-Cheney Oil Administration, with its naked War for Oil Colonialism on
Iraq. No body can put the genie of the colonialism back into the bottle, where
it suffered after the Second World War. Timing is everything, as America and
its NATO allies, and its Eight World Power detractors are about to discover in
the Iraq’s war. For the Iraq war America will fight and had fought is not the
war that American Oil Colonialism wanted, and its intensity and its dimensions
are likely to be far greater than Bush Oil Administration anticipated, when the
American Oil Colonialism strategy was first designed. American ahs waited too
long, cool 12 years, to establish American Oil Colony in Iraq, after victory in
the Kuwait Gulf War in 1991. The rivals of American Oil Colonialism, the Eight
Great Powers, have also prepared a common strategy to profit by the return of
the new age of Colonial Empires that President Bush’s war on Iraq in 2003 gave
birth to.
Eight
Great Powers would interpret America’s colonial occupation of Iraq as a license
granted to all Eight Great Powers to carve out Oil Colonies throughout the
oil-producing world, with or without the consent of the United States. Why stop
in Iraq: here's a chance to reform the entire Arab world? America’s naked
aggression on Iraq to establish American Oil Colonialism in Iraq, gives great
powers great powers to militarily intervene in the Arab world to reform the
Arab world and remake the Arab Muslim world in the image of the Christian
European world, to militarily guarantee the Arab women the same rights and
freedom women enjoy in Europe. Eight Great Powers of the world, namely, France,
Germany, Russia, India, China, Japan and Canada after the Iraq war, should be
ambitious about its push for democracy in the Middle East, and work toward
bringing down the medieval regimes in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE to
militarily guarantee the rights of women throughout the Islamic world, with or
without the support of the United States. The main issue is the extent of Great
Power ambition in the Arabic-speaking countries after that's all done in Iraq.
This foreshadows the debate likely to dominate foreign policy circles for
decades: what should be Great Powers’ role in the world, especially the
oil-producing Islamic world?
(3) Europeanize Arab
World
The civilized Eight Great Powers cannot but directly involve in
reforming the reigning medieval political culture in the Arab countries, the
belligerent religious intolerance and demoniac suppression of Muslim women in
Arab world, its retreat from modernist culture, and its embrace of conspiracy
theories. The vigorous exercise of military force of the Great Powers provides
the best chance for improvement. No great apologies ought to be made for
unilateralism and preemptive strikes by the eight world powers. The Arab region
can live with and use that Great Power unilateralism.
The will and prestige of the civilized Eight Great Powers shall
tip the scales in favor of social and political modernity, rights of women and
democratization of the polity. Great Powers should intervene and change Arab
political landscape and diplomats should call on Great Powers to aim high.
Beyond toppling the regime of Saddam and dismantling its weapons, and to
establish American Oil colonialism in Iraq, the driving motivation of a new
Great Power endeavor in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and in neighboring Arab
lands should be modernizing the Arab world and militarily guarantee the rights
of the Arab women and guarantee religious freedom and democratic elections. .
(4) Colonial Arab Women’s
Rights
The civilized Eight Great Powers would guarantee rights of Arab
women. Arab Muslim men are scared of educated Muslim women, who would replace them
in jobs, and threaten the very concept of male superiority, as Arab women are
better educated than Arab men. Semite Arab Muslims have little affinity for
democracy due to historical, cultural and religious factors. Arabs understand
that freedom implies disposable marriages, sexual license and abortion on
demand as much as it does self-government and the rule of law, and Arabs
decline the package of Democracy, because democracy and freedom of women would
destroy Islam as a religion and abolish the special privileges that the Muslim
clergy presently enjoys in the society. Efforts to inculcate democratic values
will find few allies from within Arab societies, where advocates for liberal
values constitute at best a small minority. Advocates for an ambitious
democratization of Arab world point to Germany and Japan as models, forget the
protracted, ugly and unpopular US failures in the Philippines, Mexico, the
Dominican Republic, Haiti and South Vietnam. The Arab countries will more
likely fit the latter pattern than the former. Unlike Germany and France the
Saudi Arabians are not civilized and still represents barbarian civilization.
Instead of trying to bring the Arab Muslims into ideological sympathy with the
western democratic experiments, the goal of the Great Powers should be to
improve Arab governments' behavior, by show of military force. Concepts such as
parliaments or women's rights may strike Saudi princes as alien. On the other
hand, Saudi Princes have no difficulty grasping the significance of a B-2
bomber or a carrier battle group, and would readily toe the line of Great
Powers.
(6) Militarily Impose
Colonial Democracy
The civilized Eight Great Powers would militarily impose
democratic institutions throughout Arab world. Japan had about as much affinity
for democracy in 1945 as the Arab Nations have affinity with democracy in 2003,
yet democracy took hold in Japan after 1945. There is no indication that an
open political system inexorably leads to higher divorce rates and the other
social changes again, look at Japan. Arab society can be reformed and made to
resemble Christian European society as Mediterranean Sea binds the European and
Arab cultures. The Arab women would readily adapt to the Western Christian
culture and customs, and wholeheartedly reject the barbaric Islamic customs and
practices, whenever Christian Great Powers militarily impose Western laws and
culture over Arab world. Millions of Arab Muslim women would convert to
Christianity overnight and marry European Christians voluntarily, thus making
Muslim Arabs a minority in the Arab world within a decade. Overwhelming
majority of Arab Muslim women would become Christian and marry civilized
Europeans and transforming barbaric Arab culture into civilized European
society within a year. A US victory in Iraq and the successful rehabilitation
of that country will bring liberals out of the woodwork and generally move the
region towards democracy. Saudi leaders are leaking their plans to establish
elected assemblies, something totally unprecedented in their kingdom. The eight
world powers cannot pass up a unique chance to remake the world's most
politically fevered region. Sure, the effort might fail, but to not even try
would be a missed opportunity.
Iran’s
hard line Hashemi Rafsanjani proclaimed in Feb 2003 that the presence of
American troops in Iraq would be worse than Saddam Hussein. Bush administration
contemplated that an American-led military government in Iraq would last at
least a couple of years, if nor decades. Pentagon planed for a long-term
military government of Iraq, so that United States could loot the oil riches of
Iraq to rebuild American economy. Eight Great Powers agree that Christian
United States engaged in the Clash of Civilizations against oil-producing
Islamic nations, which profess 7th century culture and society in the 21st
century and suppress their women. The civilized eight Great Powers also want to
see a free Iran, a free Syria, a free Kuwait, a free United Arab Emirates and a
free Saudi Arabia, where women regain their dignity, freedom and political
rights. The eight Great Powers would militarily support the rebels fighting the
imperial American presence in Iraq, the replay of the CIA’s role in financing
Mujahideens war on Infidel Soviet troops in Afghanistan. Syria, Iran, Algeria,
and Libya would secure military ties with France, Germany, Russia and India to
neutralize American imperialistic and oil colonialism moves in their countries.
(7) Swap Caspian Oil for
Iraqi Oil
President Putin hinted that Russia would treat Georgia, an
American ally, and gateway to the Caspian Oil, in the same way as Washington
treated oil-rich Iraq, Russia's business partner. The first salvo made by
President Putin, who issued an ultimatum to Georgia to root up
"international terrorists" or face Russian action. Russia would use
the opportunity provided by American oil colonialism in Iraq to establish
Russian oil colony in Georgia and Azerbaijan. The salvo was aimed as much at
Georgia's President Eduard Shevardnadze, as at the US President George Bush. It
was a pre-emptive strike on the eve of Mr Bush's speech at the United Nations,
where he was expected to issue an ultimatum to Iraq. Moscow was hinting that it
would treat Georgia, an American ally, in the same way, as Washington was about
to treat Iraq, Russia's business partner.
Would Russia consent for American conquest of Iraqi oil, in
exchange for American consent for Russian conquest of Caspian oil and gas?
Russia would end up colonizing oil-rich Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan,
if America succeeds in establish oil colony in Iraq. If Iraq can be conquered,
colonized and enslaved, then every Islamic oil-producing nation ripe for
foreign conquest, colonization and foreign occupation. Russia wants to swap
Georgia and Caspian basin for Iraq. Observers believe a quid pro quo has been
in the making. It may work both ways: either Moscow and Washington abstain from
hitting their respective targets, or give each other a free hand. 'Saddam for
Shevardnadze.' President Putin, they say, wouldn't have taken such a dramatic
step had he not sensed Washington's willingness to strike a deal. After all,
the US Ambassador to Moscow, Alexander Vershbow, publicly admitted there were
al-Qaeda agents in Chechnya. Russia says they infiltrate from Georgia, where
they train and arm themselves. So, Georgia in Russian view is not much
different from Afghanistan under the Taliban, or, indeed, Iraq accused by the
US of involvement in international terrorism. As a conservative Russian
newspaper Trud put it, "Let's swap Saddam for Shevardnadze" is the
'worrying logic' of the America’s oil colonial war on Iraq. The US does not
appear to have accepted the offer, to let Russia takeover Georgia and
Azerbaijan in exchange for America’s takeover of Iraq. Russia says Pankisi
Gorge is a safe heaven for Chechen rebels. If the US can hit, whoever it
suspects of harboring terrorists, the Russian say, why can't Russia do the same
where Russia see fit. This logic is not worrying, but represents real politics.
Diplomats of the Eight Great Powers warn the international coalition against
terror may crumble, if America and Russia pursue its Oil Colonial agendas in
Iraq or Georgia respectively. This has more to do with cheap oil and spheres of
influence, diplomats say, than international security of America and Russia.
Diplomats of eight great powers urge Russia and America to stop wrangling for
oil colonies and find a common ground, so that all great powers granted similar
rights over their oil colonies worldwide. France, Germany, India and Japan
should pool their resources to establish Oil Colony over Turkmenistan and
Azerbaijan. Oil-producing nations are militarily weak and vulnerable to foreign
conquest and colonial occupation. Why should Germany, France, Japan, India and
China allow United States walk away with takeover of oil-rich Iraq, without
giving similar rights to other Eight World powers to establish oil colonies of
their own? The fundamental issue that legitimizes the concert of world Powers
shall be the recognition of the right inherent in the Great Power status to
establish Oil colonies. What America can do in Iraq, France can do in Algeria
and Libya, Germany can do in Sudan, Russia can do in Azerbaijan and
Turkmenistan, and India can do in Bangladesh and China can do in Brunei.
(8) Need For Change in
the Middle East
White
French Oil Colonialism would usher in social modernization in the oil-producing
Arab world, American oil colonialism would work hard to restore the exalted
status of the fundamentalist Wahhabi clergy and terrorists in the Arab society.
So long as Arab oil-producing world under the control and influence of American
Oil Colonialism, Wahhabi fundamentalists would retain their control over
political, religious and social power. The Arab Middle East is the perfect
place to start reforming the medievalism. The diplomacy cannot work in Middle
East, where the biggest source of insecurity lies not between states but within
them, as Wahhabi regimes based on the medieval principles of suppression of
women and rule of the religious clergy. Britain and United States promoted,
nurtures and supported fundamentalist Islamic clergy in the former territories
of the Ottoman Empire, Indian Empire, Soviet Empire, Yugoslavia and the
Commonwealth, and placed militant Muslim clergy into power, in exchange for
their acceptance of American and British control over Islamic oil resources.
United
States and Britain conspired to place Wahhabi regimes into power in Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Yemen and Oman in exchange for American
& British control over their oil resources. Britain promoted Islamization
of Malaysian Bhumiputras to undermine the political influence of economically
dominant Chinese community and to sideline Indians in Malaysia. Britain and
United States harnessed the power of Islamic militancy to create public outrage
against communism in Malaysia, and Indonesia. United States supported Islamic
fundamentalists in Egypt, Sudan, Nigeria and Algeria, hoping that
fundamentalist Muslims would be more pro-American than secular Muslims, who are
more likely to be swayed by socialistic ideals and Non Alignment.
What is
most wrong about the Arab Muslim world is the lack of personal freedom and
rights of women and that translates into dead-end lives for most of the Arab
Muslim population. What stands in the path of the change in the Arab world?
Fear stands in the path of change in the Middle East. America’s fear of losing
control over American Oil Colonies in the Arab world, if the modern Arab men
and women acquires political power and say in the policy making. America has
developed very close ties with the corrupt regimes in Pakistan, Nigeria, Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and UAE that any change in the regimes would end the
American monopoly over Arab Oil resources. Arab regimes fear of tradition
unraveling and fear of Mullah’s disapproval, as Mosques remain the only place
expression of political dissent is still tolerated by the despotic Arab
regimes. Fear of being labeled bad or traitorous Muslim regime or Muslim state,
forced many Arab regimes pay terrorists protection money to buy local peace.
Fear of becoming a target of radical groups and terrorist networks, forced many
Arab regimes give more powers to Wahhabi clergy to further strangulate freedom
in the society. Only when Great Powers directly intervene in Arab world and
recast the society, system of government in the image of Europe, could Middle
East become free and modern in the 21st Century. The present ruling elite
should be militarily replaced to reform the Arab world.
America is
not interests in reforming the Arab society, if only wants to gain control over
Arab oil and gas resources and would be very content to leave the governance to
the fundamentalist Wahhabi clergy, so long as they do not work against American
Oil Colonialism. However, Russian Oil Colonialism, French Oil Colonialism,
German Oil Colonialism, Indian Oil Colonialism and Chinese Oil Colonialism
would modernize the Arab society to remove entrenched Wahhabi fundamentalists
from position of power and influence in the Arab oil-producing world. American
and British Oil Colonialism are very comfortable with the fundamentalist
Wahhabi Clergy and sacrifice the rights of Arab women in exchange of monopoly
of American Oil colonialism over Arab oil resources. However, rivals of America
would do their best to undermine the power of Wahhabi clergy in order to find
new supporters for rival oil colonialism. America waged imperialistic war on
Iraq to bring back Wahhabi clergy rule over Iraq. American would establish the
rule of Taliban-type Wahhabi regime in Iraq to develop deeper foundation for
American oil colonialism in Iraq.
India
would support French Oil colonialism to establish French oil Colonies in
Algeria, Libya, Iran and Equatorial Guinea, if India gains equitable share of
the incomes of the oil colonialism. French oil colonialism would promote
modernization of Arab society, while American oil colonialism would promote
fundamentalist Wahhabi militancy in the Arab world. Eight World Powers should support
French Oil Colonialism in the Arab world as it would promote modernization of
the Arab society and undermine the dominance of the Wahhabi clergy. Indian and
Chinese Oil colonialism in Arab world would empower Arab women and restore
freedom, rights and privileges of Arab women.
India
recognizes that Turkey, the successors to the Ottoman Caliphate has inherited
the right to establish oil colonialism in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE, so long
as turkey agreed to impose Turkish laws over Arabian Peninsula. Turki Oil
colonialism in the Middle East would impose secular Turkish Laws over Shariah
throughout the Arab world. India would support Turkish oil colonial rule over
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE as it would modernize the Arab society and give
burial to Shariah. Restoration of Ottoman Caliphate in modern version of
Turkish Caliphate would not be bad, as it would bring Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and
UAE into the 21st Century and Arab women would regain the rights they lost
during Wahhabi regimes. India would support the occupation and conquest of
Arabian Peninsula by secular Turkey, if Turkey would impose secular Turkish
laws over Islamic Shariah laws in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE. Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait and UAE have never existed as nation or society ever in history and
these lands in Arabian Peninsula, historically belonged to one of regional
powers, namely, Egypt, Iran or Turkey, who alone have the rights to the oil and
gas resources of these Wahhabi states.
India
should militarily oppose American Oil colonialism in Iraq, if it resulted in
the rule of the Wahhabi fundamentalists in secular Iraq. Mohammad Bin Qasim
from Baghdad had attacked India at the beginning of the second Millennium and
destroyed Somnath Temple in Gujarat. India has a right to join the war
coalition to bring Iraq under Indian Oil Colonialism to avenge for the Iraqi
invasions of India in the past. India opposes American Oil Colonial rule over
Iraq, not to support the independence of Iraq, but to assert India’s right for
the fair share of the incomes of the Christian Oil Colonialism in the
Oil-producing Islamic world.
Hindu
India accepted the emergence of Muslim Pakistan as the new Caliph of Islam,
after the downfall of the Ottoman Caliphate, and thus acquired rights to occupy
the Arabian Peninsula and establish Pakistani Caliphate over the oil-producing
Arab world. India accepts the rights of Pakistan to occupy Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi
Arabia and UAE and marry 10 million Arab women to Pakistani men, to establish
permanent colonies in the Arabian Peninsula, so long as Pakistan agrees to give
India a fair share of the incomes of Oil Colonialism. Pakistan as the New
Caliph of Islam should become the custodian of the Islam’s Holy cities of Mecca
and Medina. Pakistan’s army officers should marry 4000+ royal family Princesses
in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Pakistan’s dominant
Islamic sect shall replace Wahhabi sect as the dominant Islamic religious
ideology of Arabia. Either Urdu or Turki should replace Arabic as the lingua franca
of the Arab world.
The
success of American invasions of Iraq and subsequent establishment of American
Oil Colony in Iraq, would establish a historical precedent granting every one
of the eight Great Power the right inherent in the Great Power status to
establish oil colonies throughout the oil-producing world. If Muslim Iraq could
be occupied and colonized by American Big Oil Colonialism, then all Islamic
countries and Arab countries are vulnerable and ripe for colonization and
foreign occupation. If Iraq can be conquered, subdued and colonized then no
oil-producing Arab nation, and no-oil-producing Muslim nation can afford to
ward off foreign colonial powers, and would succumb to foreign occupation and
colonial exploitation. The curtain will fall and end the freedom and
independence of the Islamic world in the 21st Century, thanks to the precedent
established by American oil colonial wars on Iraq led by President Bush. The
successful Christian American occupation and colonization of Iraq would forecast
the end of the Islamic Civilization, enslavement of the Islamic world and the
colonization of the Muslim nations in the 21st Century. Would American conquest
and colonization of Muslim Arab Iraq forecast the end of Islam as a world
religion and end of Arab Civilization in the fifteenth century Hijra?
Arab world
can survive as independent nations only if Arab oil-producing nations jointly
invite French-German Oil colonialism into Arab lands to replace American Oil
Colonialism. India would prefer the victory of German-French-Japanese Oil
colonialism in the Arab world, if India gets a fair share of the oil incomes.
Since the source of American preeminence lies in the American control over
Middle East oil-producing countries, so the coalition of eight World Powers
would target American colonial interests in the Arab world to undermine the
political clout of American Oil colonialism in the Arab world. The
France-Germany-Japan Axis can replace United States as the preeminent power of
the world, if they could successfully compete with American Oil colonialism and
establish Great Powers’ Oil colonies throughout the Oil-producing Arab world.
American would decline as the preeminent super power, if France and Germany Big
Oil succeeded in establishing Great Powers Oil colonies in the Arab world, in
alliance with Russia, India, China, Japan and Canada. The coalition of eight
Great Powers can bring down American Oil Colonialism and reduce the preeminence
of United States and make America one among the equals, one among the eight
world powers, by undermining American Oil Colonialism in Iraq, Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait and Brunei. The New Cold War between imperial United States and
Coalition of eight World Powers would be fought over oil fields in the Middle
East and its outcome would affect the global balance of power and result in the
return of the new Age of Colonial Empires in the 21st Century. Scramble for Oil
colonies would provide a non-nuclear confrontation to bring down the hegemony
of the United States and one superpower system that United States inherited
after the demise of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. In the new
Cold War the eight world powers would combine their diplomatic, economic and
military assets to tame the hegemony of the United States in the 21st Century.
The Clash of French Oil Colonialism with American Oil Colonialism over Iraq
sets the precedent for numerous clashes for oil colonies that the eight world
powers would wage on American Oil Colonialism in the 21st Century. The Concert
of World Powers would successfully tame the hegemony of the United States in
the 2000s and restore peace and order in the world in the 21st Century, as the
1814 Congress of Vienna established Congress System to tame the hegemony of
France in Europe and maintained the peace for 100 years from 1814 to 1914.
30(11) Third World War
for Oil
(1) OPEC Oil Price Rise
to Ignite WWIII
The Third
World War shall be fought for oil reserves of the Arabian Gulf states and it
shall start in the Middle East. It would be suicidal for France, Germany,
Russia and China to allow Pentagon establish American Oil Colony in Iraq, as it
would give America great head start in the War. President Bush’s invasion of
Iraq to establish Oil colony in Iraq would trigger World War III.
(2) Arabian Oil Caused
World War I & II
Scramble
for the control over the Oil of the Arabian Gulf would start the World War III,
sometime in the first quarter of the 21st Century. On one side of the battle
lines would be the coalition led by United States, and the adversaries on the
other side of the battle lines would be led by France, Germany, Japan, Korea
and Russia. India and China would side the winning coalition. The Third World
War shall start in the Middle East and the principal military objective of all
major powers shall be to control the oil and gas resources of the Arabian Gulf
region, and to deny the adversary the control over these resources. France and
India shall play an important role in the Arabian Gulf sector of World War III.
(3) Persian Gulf was an
Indian Lake
The
central Banks of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Trucial States, UAE, Oman and Yemen kept
their foreign currency reserves in India currency, as late as 1965, before
stupid Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi devalued Indian currency by 35%
without informing the Central Banks of countries, which kept their foreign
exchange reserves in Indian rupees. Persian Gulf, now called Arabian Gulf had
been an Indian Lake, dominated by Navy of Indian Empire in 18th, 19th and first
half of 20th Century. The Third world War shall be fought to secure control
over oil resources of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Iraq and
Iran. France and Russia would lead the anti-American coalition to deny and
undermine American neo-colonial interests in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, United
Arab Emirates and Iran.
How should
the eight world powers respond to secure their respective colonial oil
interests in face of hostile American oil colonialism? Since American control
over the Middle East crude oil and natural gas the Achilles’ heels of American
economic and military juggernaut then eight great powers would attempt
undermine America’s Oil colonialism in the oil-producing world to bring down
America’s hegemony to make America as one among the equals in the concert of
world powers.
(4) Response to US
Petro-Imperialism
What
should be the response of the eight world powers to American attempt to conquer
the oil-producing world? The great powers shall welcome American
Petro-Imperialism provided it also permitted other world powers to establish
their own petro-colonial empires. Islamic Oil-producing world have realized
that United States would conquer the Muslim oil-producing world, to establish
American Oil colonies and to impose American colonial administration in the
oil-producing world, to rape oil wealth of the Islamic world. The United States
wants to conquer the world. India does not agree with the plan of America that
the Middle East has to be reshaped. This is the job of the mature people of the
Non aligned third World, not the job of the Christian colonial powers from the
white world, who intend to impose white Oil colonies throughout the oil
producing Islamic world. The world was in a state of terror, allowing a fear of
Muslims to affect international policy, and a war on Iraq would be seen as a
war on Muslims, said Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on the eve of a
three-yearly summit of leaders of the 114-member Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).
The attack against Iraq will anger more Muslims who see this as being
anti-Muslim rather than anti-terror. The world is in a state of terror. World
is afraid of Muslims, of Arabs, of bearded people, since the September 11, 2001
attacks on the United States. Diplomats are certain if Americans are successful
in Iraq they will turn to Iran next and then to North Korea in a reference to
the three nations U.S. President George W. Bush has branded an "axis of
evil. "After that, who will become their victim? It is clear the Western
powers want to conquer the world again. Iraq's old foe Iran was not afraid that
it could become a target of U.S. aggression. Tehran did fear Iraq possessed
weapons of mass destruction. Iran does not agree with the plan of America that
the Middle East has to be reshaped. This is the job of the mature people of the
Middle East, not powers from outside. India accepts the rights of world powers
to establish oil colonies in the oil-rich Arab world, so long as Americans do
not export Wahhabi terrorism to India to buy peace in American oil colonies.
Oil-rich Middle east would be the theater of Third World War. France, Germany,
Russia, China, India and Japan would have to undertake preemptive strikes
against oil-producing nations to establish oil-colonies before Untied states
crosses the Rubicon and established oil-colonies throughout the Arab world.
(5) America Dreams to
Conquer the World
In the
perception of the world leaders and diplomats the United States led by
President Bush became the threat to world peace, because of its obsession to
carve out American Oil Colonies in the oil-producing world. Diplomats of the
world powers and the people of the world have bad American Image. There is an
absence of any recognition that Hussein is the problem. One American
ambassador, who represents the United States in an allied nation, bluntly
cabled in Feb ’03 that in that country, Bush has become the enemy. There has
been a natural progression in Anti-American attitudes overseas. It was anti-War
and anti-American. Now it’s anti-Bush, and anti-American. That image is stuck
in perceptions of the world’s diplomats and people’s consciousness. The antiwar
protests by millions of people in Feb ‘03 in the cities of major U.S. allies
underscored a theme that the classified cables by U.S. embassies had been
reporting for weeks. It is rather astonishing. There is an absence of any
recognition that Saddam Hussein is the problem to world peace. One ambassador,
who represents the United States in an allied nation, bluntly cabled that in
that country, the major ally of the United States, President Bush has become
the enemy, and replaced Saddam Hussein as the major threat to the world peace.
This shift in public opinion has presented the President George Bush with a
much different set of circumstances than U.S. officials anticipated last
September, in a bid to create a coalition to confront Iraq, and radically
different than the support United States received for its war on Afghanistan.
(6) Carter Doctrine 1979
On US Oil Security
President
Jimmy Carter organized coup against Shah of Iran to control Iranian Oil and to
deny the use of Iranian oil wealth for promoting Iran into a great power. Shah
of Iran as a patriot wanted to use the Iran’s oil-wealth to make Iran a great
power. Britain partitioned Indian Empire in 1947, even when Indian Empire
supplied more than 1 million soldiers during First World War and 2 million
soldiers during Second World War. India was partitioned so that India may not
have direct land borders with Oil-rich Iran. Colonel Lawrence of Arabia fooled
Wahhabi clergy of Mecca & Medina to oppose Ottomans, so that Ottoman or
Turkey may not emerge as world power using the resources of Saudi Arabian and
Iraqi oil wealth. Western powers supported fundamentalist Islam preached by
Wahhabi Abdul Aziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, Mohammad Ali Jinnah of Pakistan and
Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran, to bring down the Muslim Ottoman Empire, Indian
Empire and Iranian Monarchy. Britain, and America created and nurtured the very
concept of fundamentalist Islam, and Islamic separatism to divide and rule the
regional empires that would have threatened British and American oil colonial
interests in the oil-rich Arabia.
President
Woodrow Wilson, President Jimmy Carter, President Ronald Reagan, and President
Bill Clinton supported and hired Muslim fundamentalists, Wahhabi terrorists to
bring down the multi-ethnic empires, Ottoman Empire, Pahlevi Monarchy, Soviet
Empire and Multi-ethnic Afghanistan respectively. President Carter used the
arch-fundamentalist Ayatollah Khomeini to bring down the secular Muslim Empire
of Mohammed Shah Reza Pahlevi of Iran, just as Britain, France and President
Woodrow Wilson used Wahhabi fundamentalists to bring down the rule of Ottoman
Empire in Arabian Peninsula. President Ronald Reagan financed and armed Muslim
terrorists in Afghanistan to wage war on Soviets. President Billy Clinton used
the services of Osama Bin Laden to bring Afghanistan under American influence.
In the
perception of the world leaders and diplomats the United States led by
President Bush became the threat to world peace, because of its obsession to
carve out American Oil Colonies in the oil-producing world. Diplomats of the
world powers and the people of the world have bad American Image.

In terms
of the world’s leading consumer of oil the ranks of Japan (2nd), Germany (4th),
South Korea (6th), France (9th), and India (10th) largest oil consumer of the
world, make them ideal allies in the wars for oil colonial empires, as these
large consumers lack the domestic oil resources and are heavily dependent o
foreign oil. The GNPs at PPP are: Japan ($3 trillion), Germany ($1.8 trillion),
South Korea ($ 686 billion), France ($1.3 trillion), and India ($2.1 trillion).

(2) 3rd World War to
Control Mid East Oil
Arabian
Gulf shall be the epicenter of the 3rd World War. The power that would control
the Arabian Gulf shall determine the outcome of the War. United States would
lose its Super Power status if it loses its control over the Arabian Gulf oil
and gas resources. Iran would determine the power that would control the
Arabian Gulf. Aryan Iran is the dominant regional power of the Arabian Gulf,
not the Semite Arab Saudi Arabia. India should seek ling-term defense ties with
Iran to play significant role in the Arabian Gulf.
The Third
world War shall be fought to secure control over the oil resources of Saudi
Arabia, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait, and Iran, the countries having the 1st, 2nd, 3rd,
4th, 5th largest oil reserves in the world, and that produce world’s 1st, 12th,
10th, 14th, 4th largest oil producers of the world. The Great Power that
controls the oil fields of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait and Iran would
control the destiny of the world in the Third World War. The Oil reserves and
oil production fields of the Arabian Gulf is the Achilles’ heels of the United
States. The New Cold War would be Clash of rival Oil Colonial powers seeking
the control over the oil resources of the Arabian Gulf, namely, Saudi Arabia,
Iraq, UAE, Kuwait, and Iran. India as the leading Indian Ocean Power enjoys the
regional hegemony would play an important role in the clash of oil colonialism
in the Arabian Gulf region in the Third World War. Military coalition of India
and Iran can dominate the Arabian Gulf region. India, France and Russian Oil
Cartel can establish colonial domination over Arabian Gulf Oil and thereby
determine the outcome of the Third World War.
French
Empire as well as Indian Empire was greater military power than United States
in 1914, at the outbreak of the First World War. French Empire and Indian
Empire contributed more towards victory of Allied Powers in the First World War
than United States. Indian Empire and French Empire were cheated out of their
fair share of the spoils of the World War I in the former territories of
Ottoman Empire. India and France intends to regain for India and France
respectively its share of Arab Oil resources and influence over Arabian Gulf in
the Third World War.
France
would lead the war coalition hostile to the United States control over the oil
resources of
France was
a greater world power in terms of military power, diplomatic status and
military industrial complex in 1914. United States didn’t contribute much
towards the French-British victory in the First World War. France not United
States should have become paramount power over Saudi Arabia. Secret 1915
Sykes-Picot agreement is behind the gall of the Gauls that challenged the might
of les Anglo-Saxons oil colonialism in Iraq, so that France may reclaim its
role in the Middle east that France was swindled out of their hard earned
spoils at the end of the First World War. France has long and bitter memories
about the Middle East and the way in which les Anglo-Saxons (the USA and UK)
swindled France of their hard-earned spoils of war at the end of the World War
I. The secret Sykes-Picot agreement of 1915, signed between Britain and France,
gave France power over half the Turkish Arab Empire, while Britain was to get
the other half. President Woodrow Wilson and Prime Minister David Lloyd George
ensured that Britain had power over Iraq and Trucial states, Kuwait and Arabian
Gulf, and United States became paramount power in Saudi Arabia. France ended up
with only Syria and Lebanon, which had no oil. After the Second World War Syria
got the mandate powers over Lebanon. British and American secret services
conceptualized the political and diplomatic usage of the fundamentalist
barbarian Arab Wahhabi Sunni doctrine to mobilize nomad Bedouin of Arabian
deserts to overthrow the domination of civilized, modern, liberal Muslim
intelligentsia, as latter would object to the American and British exploitation
of the Arabian oil and gas resources. France and Germany hope to undermine
American and British influence in the Arabian Gulf by supporting Iraq and to
mobilize Muslims against American Oil imperialism to replace America as the
dominant oil power in the former territories of the Ottoman Empire, half of
which should have gone to France under the secret 1915 Sykes-Picot Agreement.
Only by challenging American Oil colonialism in the Arabian Gulf could France
reclaim its status as the world power.
Had French
opposition to the American oil imperialism in Iraq succeeded in averting direct
American intervention in Iraq then United States would have declined as a sole
super power of the world, just as the withdrawal of French and British invasion
troops from Suez Canal Zone in 1956, signaled the decline of Britain and France
as world powers. Russia’s support to France and Germany could turn out to be as
crucial as it was for Nasser in stand off against Britain and France. France,
Germany and Russia could replace United States as dominant player in the
Arabian Gulf if they had succeeded in that standoff against President Bush and
if he had backed down.
American
Big Oil does not enjoy any special advantage over French Big Oil and German Big
Oil in terms of Oil technology. France, Germany and Russia can become major
players in the Middle East by exploiting twin menace of American Oil
Colonialism and Israel towards freedom and independence of oil-producing Arab
world. France, Germany and Russia could end up establishing French, German and
Russian oil colonies in the Middle East during their principled opposition to
the menacing expansion of American Oil Colonialism in Iraq. France, Germany,
Belgium and Russia want to get their share of the Middle East Oil by one means
or another. China, India, Japan and South Korea would also join the
anti-American coalition France, German and Russia, because President Bush not
give any nation cast-iron guarantee to share the oil-incomes of the American
Oil Colonies in the Middle East. President Bush’s attempt to monopolize control
over Middle East for American Oil Colonialism may organize other world powers
form the rival coalition to undermine American Oil Colonies in the Middle East.
(3) Mongols Ruled Islamic World
American conquest of Baghdad in 2003 is the historical replay of the 1258 Mongol conquest of Baghdad Caliphate and the subsequent Ottoman conquest of Islamic world. The forefathers of Saudi Arabian Bedouin never played any important political role in the Islamic world except during first century of Islam during Mecca Caliphate, which Wahhabi fundamentalists trying to revive. Islamic world had been under the foreign rule of Mongol Empire after 1231 and Persian Caliphate was also a Mongol rule. The Ottoman Caliphate was the foreign rule of a offshoot of Mongol Empire. The Middle East and the Arab Islamic world had been under the foreign rule of the Mongols and its successors from 1231 onwards and ruled by non-Arabs and Arabic language had not been the language of the Islamic Empire after 1231. Only after the recognition of House of Al Saud in Saudi Arabia that Arab race became politically free and independent of foreign rule and foreign domination.
Buddhist Mongols could have militarily converted the entire Middle East to Buddhism between 1235 and 1295. Except when Buddhist Mongols ruled the Islamic world after the conquest of Baghdad, when Mongol horses pummeled the Baghdad’s Caliph of Islam to pulp and destroyed Baghdad Caliphate, Islamic world had never been militarily so vulnerable as it is now in 2003. In 1295, the Mongol Khans of Ilkhan Empire of Hulagu in Persia espoused the Moslem faith. The Persia was under Buddhist Mongol rule until 1295 AD. Buddhist Mongols conquered the Baghdad in 1258, and Tabriz in 1231, and it was under the rule of Mongol Buddhists until 1295. Mongol Buddhists ruled the Islamic Baghdad Caliphate for 38 years from 1258 to 1295 and ruled Shiite Persia for 75 years from 1221 to 1295. Dalai Lama was the religious leader of Mongols. Failure of Dalai Lama to develop the military version of Buddhism lost the great opportunity for Buddhism. The whole world could have become Buddhist under Mongol rule. Buddhism under Mongols would have eliminated Islam and Christianity from Asia and Europe. Dalai Lama failed to rise to meet the historic opportunity. Had Dalai Lama been more prudent, Buddhist Mongol conquerors would have converted the entire Islamic world, using the ferocious sword of the Great Mongol Empire.
(4) Lawrence of Arabia & Wahhabism
Colonel Lawrence of Arabia's promises of Arab independence was a
well laid out trap to pave the way for American and Anglo-French supremacy in
the Arab world. American conquest of Iraq represents the establishment of
American Caliphate, as successors to Ottoman Caliphate and Mongol Caliphate.
Mongol Caliphate led by Central Asian Mongols. Ottoman Caliphate led by Central
Asians. American Caliphate would be as much legitimate as was Ottoman
Caliphate, and Mecca would govern the Islamic world
British Colonel Lawrence of Arabia conceptualized the geopolitical
use of Wahhabi barbarian doctrine to mobilize nomad Bedouin Arabs to destroy
the Muslim Empire of Ottoman Caliphate. Britain destroyed Muslim empire by the
twin weapon of Secular Kemalism and arch fundamentalist Wahhabi Sunni doctrine,
and ethnicity as the basis of the State rather than Muslim Ummah as the state.
Predator Islamic religious cults as well as predator Communist
political philosophies funded by foreigners who sought loot of the riches of
the civilizations threatened by predator intolerant cults and parties. The
seventh century Damascus Jews and Arab traders agreed to finance the nomad
Bedouin Arab Muslim raiding parties to profit by the loot the wealth of
Christian Egypt, Syria and Libya. William Kaiser during First World War
supported V.I. Lenin and supported him hoping that Communists would destroy and
loot the riches of Russia. America supported Mao tse-tung in Manchuria by
ordering General Chiang kai sheik to stop the attack on the key town in
Manchuria under Communist control and arranged the Buddhist warlord in Yunnan
to surrender to Communist forces, hoping that Maoist Communists would loot and
destroy the riches of China. Just as African black slave traders supplied black
slaves from Africa to white European slave traders and Arab slave traders, the
Arab Wahhabi clergy agreed to supply all oil and gas wealth of the Arab world
to America in exchange for special powers and rights to Wahhabi clergy over
Arab women. The fundamentalist Arab Wahhabi Clergy and Wahhabi terrorists are
American spies, who have agreed to sell the oil wealth to America in exchange
for Wahhabi clergy’s control over Mecca and Medina and Mosques. Educated,
liberal and nationalist Muslims have been suspicious of Western motives in the
Middle East ever since Lawrence of Arabia led the Arab rebellion against the
Turkish Ottoman Empire during the First World War. Militant Islamic cults and
Wahhabi terrorism were designed and molded into diplomatic and political instruments
by British and American secret services, to undermine the multi-ethnic,
multi-racial Ottoman Muslim Empire.
The Muslim Empire, the Ottoman Empire, which caused fear among
Christian states of Europe collapsed and the Arab World was divided by lines in
the sand and separated by ethnic divide, which created numerous Muslim States,
which separately became dependent upon United States for their survival.
Colonel Lawrence of Arabia's promises of Arab independence turned out to be a
well laid out trap to pave the way for Anglo-French supremacy in the Arab
world.
Mohammed Ali Jinnah the founder of Pakistan, Kemal Pasha Ataturk
the founder of modern Turkey, and Abdul Aziz Al Saud the founder of Saudi
Arabia, were all spies of Christian powers. Western secret services promoted
secularism of Kemalism, Nehruism, Maoism, and Leninism to destroy the Ottoman
Empire, Indian Empire, Chinese Empire, and Russian Empire. Western secret
services promoted arch fundamentalism of Saudi Arabian Wahhabi Abdul Aziz al
Saud, Pakistani Mohammed Ali Jinnah, and Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini to destroy
Ottoman Empire, Indian Empire and Imperial Iran. In the Muslim mind, the
Americans have only taken forward the imperial mission of Colonel Lawrence of
Arabia since the Second World War albeit with greater sophistication. Wahhabi
clergy in Arabian Peninsula agreed to hand over Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United
Arab Emirates, and Qatar to American Oil Colonialism in exchange for political
and religious control over Sunni Mosques in Arab lands and imposition of
Shariah laws. British, French and American oil colonial interests agreed to
give Arab Sunni Wahhabi Clergy unrestricted right to beat and subjugate Arab
women, and in bargain got total colonial control and ownership of Oil and gas
resources of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE and Qatar.
Arab world had been under foreign rule since the Mongol conquest
of Baghdad in 1258, for over 700 years. Ottomans were Turks from Central Asia
the offshoot of the Mongol Army. Islamic Arab world had been under foreign
occupation and foreign rule for 700 years and after the First world War
continued to under de factor colonial occupation of American Oil Colonialism,
which gave Wahhabi Clergy the religious monopoly, and who agreed to hand over
the oil riches of Arabia to America without murmur.
Arab had been under foreign rule and foreign occupation after the
Mongol sacking of Baghdad. The sacking of Baghdad by the Mongols in 1258 is an
important example. Genghis Khan's grandson, Helugu Khan, conquered the then capital
of the Muslim caliphate, killing its people and burning down its great library
"The House of Wisdom". Muslims interpreted this military defeat as a
result of their embracing pluralism and worldly knowledge. While Colin Powell
probably has never thought about this episode in history, Saddam Hussein and Al
Qaida have both referred to the 1258 sacking of Baghdad in recent statements.
The allusion is significant for true believers and for those who seek to defy
rather than co-exist with and learn from unbelievers. Pakistan is not alone in
this quandary of simultaneous alliance and hatred involving the United States.
Muslim Ulema interpreted the Mongol conquest of Baghdad as the result of the
secular civilization, and they reacted by reverting back to the barbarian
Islamic traditions of 7th century Arabia. America should promote Pakistan not
Turkey as the surrogate power to rule Arab world on behalf of the American Oil
Colonialism. The Arab world is ripe for reorganization under foreign colonial
rule, preferably American Caliphate, governed by Christians and Jews, just as
they had been under Mongol rule and Ottoman rule. The only option the Arab
nations have is to choose, which colonial ruler they should submit to, whether
should become colonies of America, France, Germany, Japan, China, Russia,
Pakistan or India.
(5) Jihad Exposed
Weakness of Islam
For militant Islamists the military defeat and humiliation at the
hand of the Mongols marked the beginnings of a religious revival. In less than
a century, the Mongol conquerors converted to Islam and Islamic power, uprooted
from the Arabian heartland, had been re-established in Turkey and Northern
India. Turkey and India represents the real soul of Islam. President A.P.J.
Abdul Kalam, the first scientist head of the state of the world, and the
President of one billion people of India, truly represents the Islamic nations
of the world, and established India as the leader of the Islam. Islam should be
led by civilized Islamic nations, namely, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan and
India, not by barbarian Islamic nations, namely Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Islamist movements are already arguing that the defeat of the Taliban in
Afghanistan and the coming sacking of Baghdad should be seen as cataclysmic
events that would purify Muslim souls and prepare them for an ideological
battle with the West.
Jihad represents the Counter Reformation movement in Islam, which
abandoned reasoned spiritual struggle and renewed focus on militant Jihad. It
explains that Catholic Vatican, the leader of the Counter Reformation movement
in Christianity, find common cause with Wahhabi the Jihadis the leaders of the
Counter Reformation Movement in Islam. The Islamic concept of Jihad (Islamic
terrorism) laid the foundation of the decline of Islam after the Mongol
conquest of Islamic world in 1258. The emphasis on Ijtihad (reasoned spiritual
struggle) was abandoned with renewed focus on militant Jihad (holy war). Soon
thereafter, Ibn Taimiyah (1262-1327), a Syrian theologian, laid the theological
foundations of militant Islam’s revival that remains the theological font of
all counter-reformation thinking among Muslims. Saddam was avowedly
anti-religion until the 1991 Gulf War, after which he started his pretense of
championing Islamic causes. In doing so he played on a historic tendency that
has characterized Muslim behavior since the Middle Ages. Muslims turn to
literalism in interpreting religion and admire defiant militants whenever their
Ummah (community of believers) is threatened by the military might of
non-Muslims. American conquest of Iraq represents the 21st century version of
the 1258 Mongol conquest of Baghdad and the Ottoman conquest of the Islamic
world. Arab race would have to accept their fate under foreign occupation and
they have no option but to remain under foreign occupation for few more
centuries. Arab race survived under Mongol Caliphate, Ottoman Caliphate and
would also survive under American Caliphate. Arab oil-producing nations are
very wealthy in terms of oil and gas resources and very weak militarily and
have very small population. Geopolitically no golden bird can fly free and its
destiny is to find peace in a cage.
Oil-rich Arab nations can survive only under the protection of one
of the foreign Oil Colonial powers, and they shall fail to hold on to their
newly found freedom, independence and sovereignty during 21st Century, the age
of neo colonial oil empires. Oil-producing Arab world must accept their fate
under American Caliphate or French Caliphate just as they accepted their fate
under Mongol Caliphate and Ottoman Caliphate, unless they voluntarily become
part of Pakistan and handover the control of their oil and gas resources to
nuclear Pakistan, and accept Pakistan as the new Caliph of Islam, and make all
Arab lands part of the Islamabad Caliphate. French, German, Russian, Chinese
and Indian oil interests are free to establish Oil Colonies in the oil-rich
Arab world and the scramble for oil colonies would fuel the Third World War.
(6) Bush’s War Exposes
Weakness of USA
The zeal
with which President Bush pursued the America’s colonial invasions of Iraq,
raised the suspicion that economy of the United States could be in severe
doldrums, and America’s GNP could be way behind $8 trillion world Bank
estimated it in 2002, as the GNP estimates were bloated like the fraudulent
profits and sales of Enron, WorldCom. The Dow Jones heading downward and could
stabilize at 7000 or go down even to 5000. Could American economy collapse
without the colonial exploitation of the Iraq’s oil and gas wealth.
The Oil
Pact of Japan, Germany, South Korea, France, India, makes great sense as these
countries heavily dependent on imported crude oil and natural gas. The Oil Pact
of Japan (2nd largest, 5.4 Mb/pd), Germany (4th largest, 2.8 Mb/pd), South
Korea (6th largest, 2.1 Mb/pd), France (9th largest, 2 Mb/pd, and India (10th
largest, 2 Mb/pd) the countries having 2nd, 4th, 6th, 9th & 10th largest
consumption of oil in world, makes great sense, as they all lack substantial
domestic oil reserves. Japan, Germany, South Korea and France should invest in
the development of Russia’s oil and gas industry and support Russia’s takeover
of Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, if it would mean
secured oil supplies. Japan, Germany, South Korea, France and India consume
14.3 million barrels per day of oil, around 75% of United States consumption of
20 million barrels per day.
(7) Enigma of German
Nazism or Pacifism
German
Neo-Nazis as well as anti-war pacifists united against American war of Oil Colonialism
in Iraq. Neither militarist Germans nor pacifist Germans support American Oil
Colonialism and united behind their Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder to tame and
neutralize American oil Colonialism. Without establishing American Oil Colony
in Iraq, Untied States would lose its preeminence in the world. China, Japan,
Germany and France would continuously expand their economies and America’s lead
will diminish, unless United States established brutal exploitative Oil Colony
over Iraq, the nations with the 2nd largest oil reserves of the world. American
diplomats realize that America can continue to be the dominant power of the
world, in spite of the steep fall of the Dow Jones Index and the economic
cancer caused by Enron, WorldCom, Andersen scandals, only by giving birth to
the new age of Colonial Empires in the 21st Century. Only as the Oil Colonial
Power could United States survive as the leading economic, military and
diplomatic power of the world. Americans derive their foreign policy from a
strong sense of national interests, defined in terms of economic interests,
imperial interests and oil interests informed by national ideals of American
grandeur, which camouflaged Roosevelt’s Real Politik in the Wilsonian Idealism,
through a prism of American identity that took shape during 20th Century,
primarily after Second World War, when German nuclear scientists gave America
the Atom Bomb, which President Truman dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, even
when their was no dire need to do so. Germans view international politics first
through the prism of a German national identity that is yet to take a final
form in the 21st Century. Germans of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and Foreign
Minister Joschka Fischer’s generation, which didn’t see the World War II, define
themselves through opposition to the political values of their parents and
grand parents and political values of Adolf Hitler and William Kaiser, and
through support of the raison d’etat and balance of power policy of Otto von
Bismarck. Ex-German Minister compared President Bush to Adolf Hitler and it
allowed Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder to discover his anti-Americanism and
anti-war populism to exploit the dominant anti-Americanism of German population
to win the 2002 electoral victory, which though razor-thin was larger than
President Bush’s 2000 election victory. Germans believe that President George
W. Bush leading United States to attempt the conquest of the World’s Oil, just
as Adolf Hitler attempted to make Germany the Ruler of the World. Germans directly
know the menace any national leader determined to conquer the world could
present, an elected leader of the leading industrialized nation. Geopolitically
President Bush occupies the same position in 2003 that Adolf Hitler occupied at
the start of the Second World War. Germans realize the destruction imperialist
America could cause to Germany, France and to the world. Germany and France
leading the world to organize the Concert of World Powers in partnership with
Russia, China, India, and Belgium to neutralize the imperialistic ambitions of
oil-crazy Super Power United States. Germany the world’s fifth largest economy
could undermine America’s military and economic preeminence, by lining up with
France, Russia, China and India. Japan and South Korea would join the rival oil
colonialism led by Germany and France. Playing to latent anti-Americanism in
the East Germany and the anti-war populism in the Western Germany make for good
election politics and provides a solid foundation for the assertive foreign policy
of United Germany, based on the time tested diplomatic principles of
Richelieu’s Raison d’etat and Otto von Bismarck’s Balance of Power. Germany and
France believe that the United States is bent on expansion of American Oil
Colonialism and military expansion to establish newer military bases worldwide,
to lay military, economic and diplomatic foundation for the future American
conquest of the world to create Pax Americana.
German Oil
Colonialism clashed with American Oil Colonialism in Iraq. German anti-war
pacifism clashed with Hitler-like American Oil Colonialism on Iraq. Imperialist
Germans wants to create German-French Oil Colonies in the Middle East. Pacifist
Germans would oppose Bush’s imperialism because Bush to them is the Hitler of 21st
Century. In the eyes of the Germans Bush is Hitler. To continue supporting
America’s imperialist wars in Iraq would to Germans mean the support to the
American reincarnation of Adolf Hitler. The anti-war populist Germans do not
want to support America’s War on Iraq, because it would mean the support to the
Hitler-type imperialist. The pro-Hitler German would want support Iraqi war for
American Oil Colonialism, because why should then they support German oil
colonialism instead. Germans supported the America’s war on Afghanistan as
Germany expected to profit by the Caspian Oil and Gas pipelines that would pass
through Afghanistan. Germans are ashamed that they foolishly joined President
Bill Clinton’s War on Kosovo, thinking it was to bring an end to the ethnic
cleansing in Kosovo. Germany realized that the war on Kosovo was the war for
control over the Oil gas pipelines that would transport Caspian Oil and gas to
the European markets. Was German and US military intervention in Kosovo was
about promoting regional stability in the Balkans, or about Auschwitz, in
helping to bring an end to the “ethnic cleansing” in Kosovo? Did Germany get on
the right side of the history by participating in the unjust war on Kosovo as
part of the NATO? Germany stood by America after 9/11 and supported America’s
war on Afghanistan. But to Germans to accept the logic of preventive wars, the
preemptive strikes as enunciated in Bush Doctrine 2002, to justify the American
War of Oil Colonialism in Iraq, camouflaged in war on terrorism and wars on
WMDs, raised the specter of historical continuity, and Germans saw in American
President George Bush the reincarnation of German Fuehrer Adolf Hitler. Germany
destined to be mortal enemy of America in 21st Century. German imperialists and
oil colonialists as well as anti-war German pacifists firmly united to oppose
the onward march of American Oil Colonialism in the Middle East. German
neo-Hitler and neo-Gandhi firmly united behind Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder to
tame and undermine imperialist American Oil Colonialism in the Middle East. The
twin dilemma to proud Aryan Germans is as follows: Why should descendants of
Nazi Germany fear competing with Yankee Oil Colonialism? Why should anti-war
anti-American Germans support Bush-led American Oil Colonial war on Iraq, when
to Germans President George W. Bush is like Adolf Hitler? Germany is united as
never before on the issue of opposition to American wars of oil colonialism,
except when it united under Adolf Hitler. Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has the
potential to tap the public discontent against America to emerge as the
powerful German leader to rival the aura and image of Adolf Hitler in the early
21st Century. Donald Rumsfeld’s public insults hurled at Germany and France by
calling the leading Civilizations of Europe the “Old Europe,” could come to
haunt America for decades to come.
Preventive
doctrines led to World War I. Concluding that an industrializing Russia would
constitute a threat to German domination of Europe, Germany’s William Kaiser
was eager to force a showdown with Russia in 1914. Understanding that Paris
would come to Russia’s aid if hostilities began on German-Russian frontiers,
Germany preemptively violated Belgium’s neutrality and invaded France.
Concluding industrialized Russia and Allied Victor Russia would demand
reparation from defeated Germany at the end of the First World War, the German
leadership supported Bolshevik V. I. Lenin to reach Russia and lead communist
Revolution with German support, hoping revolution would eliminate Russia as
power. Capitalist Engel hired prostitute-philosopher Karl Marx on annual salary
of 350 Pound Sterling to produce the philosophic concoction that could justify
the loot of Czarist Russian property. The generation of Germany would not look
the other way and allow American Oil Colonialism to destroy Iraq, as it
destroyed Yugoslavia and Afghanistan for securing interests of American Oil
Colonialism. Germans realize that American and British secret services created
Iranian Ayatollah fundamentalism and Arab Wahhabi Fundamentalism to secure
American British control over Islamic oil resources in Aryan Iran and Semite
Middle East. Germans and French realized that the CIA created Albanian Muslim
terrorists to weaken and divide multi-ethnic democratic Yugoslavia. Germans and French realize that to support
American Oil Colonialism would place Germany on the wrong side of the History
in the 21st Century. As a pacifist power, Germany gains nothing by supporting
American Oil Colonialism in Iraq. As an imperialist power, German Oil
Colonialism gains nothing by supporting American Oil Colonialism, because
President Bush refused to share the incomes of American Oil Colonies with its
Atlantic partners. Why should France and Germany allow United States rape the
oil-producing world, when American Oil Colonies would not split its profits
with France and Germany? Germans and French are not big a fool that White House
believe them to be. British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the leader of the
world’s 7th largest economy, could be the Lap Dog of President Bush, the
world’s top economy, and British Monarch may agree to become the maid of the
White House, but proud Aryan German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder of Germany and
French President Jacques Chirac, the leader of the world’s 5th largest and 6th
largest economies of the world respectively, would not accept America’s
domination over world’s oil supplies. China, Japan, India and Russia would
support, the world’s 2nd largest, 3rd largest, 4th largest and 10th largest economies
respectively, would wholeheartedly support German and French plan to tame and
neutralize the conspiracy of American-British Big Oil Colonialism to conquer
and control the world’s oil and gas supplies.
(8) France Opposed
American War Plans
France warned that American invasion of Iraq would divide the
World into two hostile camp. French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin warned
in Feb ’03 that waging war against Iraq without exhausting all peaceful means
for disarming Saddam Hussein would split the international community and
"be perceived as precipitous and illegitimate. France remained committed
to continued and strengthened weapons inspections in Iraq. Any military
intervention, when all the chances for a peaceful solution have not been explored,
would divide the international community. Let us make no mistake, it would be
perceived as precipitous and illegitimate. French remarks come two days after
France, Germany and Russia submitted a proposal at the United Nations for
step-by-step disarmament of Iraq, part of a European drive to counter U.S.
pressure for military action. France maintains that peaceful disarmament has
not been exhausted fully. France pressed Iraq to cooperate with weapons
inspectors and insisted that France's anti-war stance enjoys broad
international support. France's position is supported by a majority of nations
and public opinion. France did not support a U.S.-backed draft resolution
submitted to the United Nations that would have paved the way for American Oil
Colonial war on Iraq.
President
Bush expected to outline his vision of a democratic Iraq, while military brass
laid out their ideas of how the country would be run after the Iraqi regime was
toppled, including an initial occupation force of several hundred thousand soldiers.
Testimony by Gen. Eric K. Shinseki at the Senate Armed Services Committee in
Feb ’03 offered a glimpse of the early stages of a transition. Shinseki said he
couldn’t give specific numbers of the size of an occupation force but would
rely on the recommendations of commanders in the region. “I would say that what’s been mobilized to
this point, something on the order of several hundred thousand soldiers.
Assistance from friends and allies would be helpful as Iraq is “a piece of
geography that’s fairly significant.” And any postwar occupying force would
have to be big enough to maintain safety in a country with “ethnic tensions
that could lead to other problems.” Meantime, Pentagon officials have said that
U.S. forces massed in the region number about 200,000, about half of them Army.
Meanwhile, the head of the U.S. Agency for International Development said the
organization had plans in place to keep Iraqis fed for at least nine months if
war breaks out in 2003, but he acknowledged disruption of those plans could
lead to disaster.
(9) UNO relevant on
Taming America
United Nations would become irrelevant like the League of Nations
if it failed to stop the march of American Oil Colonialism. League of Nations
failed to stop the Hitler’s aggression. The United Nations would lose its
relevance in the world politics if it failed to tame and neutralize American
Oil imperialism, even when France and Germany opposed it. President Bush has
continued his drumbeat warning that failure to follow his leadership on an
invasion of Iraq would reduce the United Nations to "irrelevance."
United Nations and Non Aligned Movement would become irrelevant if it failed to
oppose President Bush’s naked oil colonialism in Iraq.
President Bush deliberately making UNO irrelevant by stating that
if the world body doesn't go along with him, America will go ahead with its
plans to invade and occupy Iraq even without UNSC Resolution. The president
Bush and his subordinates have been particularly heavy-handed in accusing
Germany and France. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has called Germany and
France representing the "Old Europe" of leading the United Nations
into irrelevance, by opposing American Colonial plans to establish Oil colony
in Iraq. American Gen. Eric K. Shinseki at the Senate Armed Services Committee
in Feb ’03 offered a glimpse of the early stages of a transition, by stating
that he couldn’t give specific numbers of the size of an occupation force but
would say that what’s been mobilized to this point, something on the order of
several hundred thousand soldiers. United Nations would become irrelevant it
allowed the stationing of several hundred thousand American troops to establish
American colonial rule over Iraq after the conquest of Iraq.
France and Germany are trying to avoid the blunder of Neville
Chamberlain in Munich in 1938, by refusing to accept the appeasement of
imperialist America in UNO by allowing UNO become deaf and mute witness to the
American aggression on Iraq. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice
suggested that France and Germany are following the "appeasement"
path of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain at Munich in 1938, when he
accepted the German aggression. The Bush administration obviously puts in that
category the French-German counterproposal to authorize four months or more of
continued inspections under a series of more specific deadlines for Iraqi
compliance. In truth if France and Germany accept the American oil colonial
occupation of Iraq, the history would record it as the appeasement of
Imperialist American oil colonialism. In the eyes of French President Jacques
Chirac and Germany’s Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder America represents the Hitler
of the 1938 Munich.
France and Germany would emerge as world powers in the eyes of the
world diplomats if they succeed to tame and neutralize American oil colonialism
in Iraq. On the contrary, French President Jacques Chirac and German Chancellor
Gerhard Schroeder are making a last effort to preserve the relevance of the
United Nations in choosing further diplomacy over bullets and missiles, by
opposing naked American colonial aggression on Iraq. The French and German
opposition to American imperialism dismissed by President Bush and Donald
Rumsfeld as mere whining against France and Germany’s own diminished world
influence and jealousy for the exalted stature of America as the sole
superpower of the world in the Post Cold War age. But France and Germany are
hardly alone in resenting the muscle-flexing and only slightly veiled U.S.
bribery of other U.N. members to go along with. Poor Eastern European members
are grateful for U.S. support of their inclusion in NATO and ever hopeful for
American financial aid. And not unnoticed was the way Turkey successfully held
up Uncle Sam for a larger payoff for use of Turkish territory from which to
attack northern Iraq.
By opposing American imperialism and American Oil colonialism in
Iraq, United Nations became relevant once again during 2003. To a United
Nations supposedly on the brink of irrelevance, no amount of Bush
administration rhetorical bullying is likely to change the view in the United
Nations and in most parts of the world that an American oil colonialism’s
invasion of Iraq is not commensurate to any imminent threat from Iraq. Saddam
Hussein by general acknowledgment is a monster, but no worse than the monsters
that president Bush loves in other parts of the world, namely General Pervez
Musharraf of Pakistan. But to those still opposing war, the case of imminent
threat is still to be made, and unless the case of imminent threat is made, the
United Nations can prove its relevance by opposing America’s war on Iraq.
Insisting that it be made can demonstrate the relevance of the United Nations,
not the contrary. Unheeding of public opinion around the world favoring further
efforts to disarm Iraq short of pre-emptive war, the Bush administration is
pressing the U.N. Security Council to approve a second resolution essentially
ordering an end to inspections and a start to American military action to establish
American Oil colony in Iraq.
Britain perceived as the second ranking European power, which no
longer is a great power. Britain has lost is image as a world power, by
becoming what the London tabloid the Sun called, the Lap Dog of President Bush.
With Britain and Spain dutifully in the passenger seats, President Bush has
begun an aggressive diplomatic drive to get the council to adopt the
resolution. The UN Security Council is ambivalent, at best, about forcing
Saddam Hussein from power. Four major council members are against the
resolution, Germany, France, Russia and China, the last three with veto power,
as well as Iraq's neighbor, Syria. Bush Oil Administration has its work cut out
for them to achieve the nine votes out of 15 required under the U.N. Charter to
claim approval of the world community, they must cultivate, woo or threaten,
Mexico, Chile, Equatorial Guinea, and Cameroon. Beyond the three sponsors of
the new resolution, only Bulgaria now supports America, meaning the
administration is currently five votes short. One other non-permanent member of
the council, Pakistan, is considered certain to vote against the resolution or
abstain. That leaves five nonpermanent members, Mexico, Chile, Angola, Guinea
and Cameroon, holding the key to the outcome of the UN Security Council. United
Nations would become irrelevant it failed to stop American imperialism in
oil-rich Iraq.
United
Nations and Nonaligned Nations Movement got new life when it united to oppose
American Oil imperialism in Iraq. India would not support the American war
moves on Iraq and the United Nations is being severely tested on account of the
continuing crisis. The U.S. role is such that it cannot be supported, by India.
India will decide what India has to do next after seeing what form the Iraq war
will take. Because of the Iraq issue, there was considerable `jaan' (life) in
this Non Aligned Movement Summit in Kaula Lumpur. Non Aligned Movement (NAM)
was formed by India, Egypt, Yugoslavia and Indonesia, with the objective of stopping
a world war and prodding nations to move away from military blocs and adopt an
independent foreign policy. World stood on the verge of war in Feb 2003, in
this situation there was need for NAM. It was feared that NAM Organization
might be divided on Iraq, but it didn’t happen and NAM nations united to oppose
American war on aggression on Iraq in Feb 2003.
30(13) France’s True Goal
(1) France and
Richelieu’s Raison d’etat
French
Diplomats ideally suited to create a new coalition of world powers to hold in
check. Cardinal Richelieu the First Minister of France during counter Thirty
Years Reformation Wars (1618-1648) developed the doctrine of Raison d’etat to
keep Germany weak and supported Protestant German princes against Holy Roman
Emperor of Habsburg Holy Roman Empire. Being a victim side of the Congress
System and 1814 Congress of Vienna France realized the restraining power of the
coalition of world powers. France has harnessed the power of the Roman Catholic
Church, Germany, Belgium Russia, China and India to attempt a world coalition
of world powers to hold United States the preeminent power in check.
(2) Euro helped France
Contain the USA
With the
Cold War behind, the key question of international politics, as seen by the
French political and administrative elite, is this: Now that there is no
military threat to Europe from the Soviet Union or anyone else, how to contain
the United States? In this logic the Euro Currency must become an alternative,
or co-reserve currency alongside the dollar. This would deprive the US of its
Soft Power and its free ride in the world economy. After all, the special
international role of the dollar permits the US to run staggering trade
deficits and to escape the balance of payments discipline that holds all other nations
in check. This French believe, boosts America’s ability to finance military and
political power beyond its real means. The primary goal of French and European
foreign policy is therefore to shift portions of the foreign exchange reserves
of the world into Euros. The value of the Euro against the dollar may or may
not rise as a result. The Euro is not fundamentally about exchange rates and
exports and imports, although they are terribly important. The use of Euro as
the co-reserve currency alongside dollar is about the political independence
and power that the Euro as co-reserve currency buys. It was the Euro, not the
UNSC Veto that enabled France to oppose President Bush on Iraq so boldly.
Absent the Euro, it would have been relatively easy for the US to quietly bring
the French back into line. A stealth US attack on the French franc, and on
French financial markets would do the job, and it did the job more than once
before. In 1956, when France and Britain invaded Egypt to retake the Suez
Canal, Eisenhower was outraged. Some stern statements by Dwight Eisenhower
backed by discreet mutterings about Franc and Pound Sterling currencies and
discreet attack on French financial markets did the trick. The French and
British promptly retreated from Suez in 1956. The European Union idea is a
political not an economic project, though achieved through economic means. The
first goal was to create a unified Europe to bring an end to European wars. The
means were economic: a Common Market, or free trade zone, to be expanded to
include the free movement of capital then the free movement of labor. Behind
the agreement was a basic bargain between France and Germany: France would open
to German industry and Germany would support French agriculture. In the full
Gaullist vision, France in order to stay independent and powerful, France would
have to enter a Europe unified behind French political leadership and backed by
German economic power.
(3) France-America Mortal
Combat
Germany,
Russia, China, Japan and India may support France’s noble goal to check America
and thereby create a better world balance of power, based on the Richelieu’s
principles of Raison d’etat and Concert of World Powers. France and Germany
would do its utmost trying to check the unbridled imperial ambitions of America
that threatens the world order. United States France and United States Germany
confrontation stabilizes the world and is good for the world, otherwise the
Third World would fear that all white nations are evil and conspiring to
establish new Colonial empires in the 21st Century. America and France would
never ever become friends again.
France and
United States engaged in the mortal combat over Iraqi Oil resources, which
would determine the future of the Oil Colonialism and the return of he age of
colonial empires in the 21st Century. France is simply putting into practice,
the Chirac doctrine laid out in November 1999, at the eve of the New
Millennium, that France would create a better world balance by holding the
United States in check.
The French
grand strategic aim, shared by Germans and Russians aimed to inflict a
humiliating defeat on the Hyper-power America. President Bush has upped the
ante and sent a 200,000 strong force to Iraq’s borders, and if America forced
to bring them back, would be terrible defeat for the United States, and great
victory of the 114-member Non Aligned Nations, France, Germany, Belgium,
Russia, and China. In the 2002 presidential election in France the
Neo-Fascist leader Le Penn came second in the three-way presidential elections.
French voters voted for Le Penn to warn the winner, Jacques Chirac that if
failed to stand up to United States and assert the power and influence of
France, a Neo-Fascist leader would be the next President of France. President
Chirac has no option but to wear the shoes that pro-Right France expects from
its leader in 21st Century, otherwise a genuinely Fascist President would get
sworn in as the next President of France. France has no option but to enter
into a mortal combat with America and do its best to create a better world
balance of power by holding the American Oil Colonialism and neo-imperialism in
check in partnership with Belgium, Germany and Russia and perhaps even China,
Japan and India. France, Germany, Russia and China would join force to humble
America to convince Americans that the very concept of sole-superpower world
order is the fantasy of the opiate power drug addict Texan Cow-Boy, fooled by
Oil colonialism.
For France, Germany and Belgium, and also for Russia and China and
may be for India also the diplomatic struggle at the United Nations is about
reigning in the President Bush’s imperial America, determined to reestablish
American Oil Colony in Iraq and other oil-producing world, to loot oil wealth
of the Arab world to salvage the economic rot and bear market that financial
scandals and 9/11 attacks set in America.
In book, "Of Paradise and Power," Robert Kagan
explained: "Americans are from Mars, Europeans are from Venus." But
Kagan perhaps underestimated the appeal a trustworthy Mars can exert. In Feb
‘03, a whole lot of Venusians just jumped planets and began undermining the
dominance of United States. Paris and Berlin together blocked U.S. and NATO
efforts to plan to defend NATO ally Turkey in case of war with neighboring
Iraq. There are three countries, France, Germany and Belgium that oppose
America’s domination of Europe. There are 19 countries in NATO. So it's 16 to
3. In other words, as France and Germany go, so goes Belgium. What Donald
Rumsfeld called the Old Europe stretched out its once-massive hand to dislodge
American influence in NATO.
France, Germany, Russia and China on American Oil colonialism are
concerned not with commerce and morality, but with a grand strategic aim:
inflicting a humiliating defeat on the much vilified “hyper power.” Non
Alignment Movement nations may also join the France-Germany bandwagon to tame
America. President Jacques Chirac is simply putting into practice his foreign
policy agenda laid out in November 1999 “to create a better world balance” by
holding the United States in check. French diplomacy deliberately seeks to
defeat the credibility of President Bush’s threat. France wants to longer the
diplomatic process, because the longer the process is spun out, the greater will
be the public perception that Iraq war is unnecessary. Delay is enemy of war
and friend of the peace.
France could end up the winner of the New ongoing Cold War with
Untied States, if other great powers and Non Aligned Nations succeed in forcing
President Bush to call back the American troops from the Gulf region without
going to war. Humbling America in Iraq is the best diplomatic maneuver to
defeat United States without a Hot War. United States would lose its sole super
power status if it failed to invade Iraq and arrest Osama Bin Laden. President
Chirac suggests that if Iraq complies with the United Nations, then President
Bush can withdraw the troops and declare victory. For President Bush to upped
the ante and sent a 200,000 strong force to Iraq’s borders, only to bring them
back with Saddam Hussein in place, would be a terrible defeat for the United
States, and may result in the decline of the Super power status of the United
States. France and Britain ceased to be world powers, after Soviet threat forced
London and Paris withdraw their troops from Suez Canal Zone. After 1990
collapse of the Soviet Union America became colossus power. The last time
American power was so obviously, disproportionately, and unilaterally
influential was after World War II, but America was then only a relative
colossus, as Europe lay devastated and the Soviet empire prepared to rise. Now,
after two generations of peace and prosperity, underwritten by American
willingness to defend free countries, America's power and influence, whether
for good or ill, is dizzying and disconcerting to France and Germany, Russia
and China, India and Japan, who no longer lay devastated, and do not depend
upon America for their defense.
(4) Euro-Colonialism Vs US Oil Colonialism
Diplomats fear that president Bush’s America misusing its
power for creating American Oil Colonial Empire. America had enjoyed power and
prestige so long the world leaders believed that America stands for good and
virtues. In 1782 America
founded her empire upon the idea of universal toleration: America admitted all
religions into her bosom, America secured the sacred rights of every
individual. What appeared astonishing absurdity to Europeans, America saw a
thousand discordant opinions live in the strictest harmony. America finally
raised her to pitch of glory and luster, before which the ancient glory of
Greece and Rome will dwindle to a point, and the splendor of modern Empires
fade into obscurity. Soviet Union touted Brezhnev Doctrine after 1975 America’s
defeat, but within 15 years in 1990, the Soviet Union disintegrated and the
Cold War ended and the Communism lost worldwide. United States enjoyed one
super power status after the demise of the Soviet Union in 1990, could also
meet the fate of the Soviet Union, 15 or 20 years after the demise of the
Soviet Union.
America gained respect at the cost of Europeans as it camouflaged
its naked national interests in the Wilsonian idealism. Founding fathers such
as Webster not only foresaw American national greatness, but they understood
its cause: individual liberty that unleashed the power of the minds of millions
of people who were born here, or who came here seeking freedom. Americans by
and large have never sought power in the world for its own sake. The power and
influence that we have on the world stage is a byproduct of the liberties we do
seek and treasure for ourselves and for people around the world. However,
diplomats doubt moral foundation of President Bush’s war on terrorism in
Afghanistan and Iraq and condemn it as a camouflage for American Oil
Colonialism.
(5) Imperial France & Germany Reasserts
Germany and France would be led by Fascist Chancellor or President
respectively, if Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and president Chirac failed to
lead Germany and France into Great power status in the 2000’s. United Germany
laid the foundation of France-German alliance against American preeminence when
a German minister compared President Bush with Adolf Hitler. But for
anti-Americanism Gerhard Schroeder won’t have won the elections. The
unprecedented rise of the Far Right in French presidential elections 2002, when
the extreme Far-right No-Fascist presidential candidate came in number two
position in the presidential primaries, force the hand of President Chirac. The
future of the whole world, hangs on the future of the enlarged NATO, and the
tug of war between US-led alliance members and Germany, France and Belgium. It
is wrong to say that Germany accidentally tripped into its present position,
goaded by France. There is the brooding matter of Germany’s
military-imperialist past, and the sense that binds German nationalists and
that also bind Japanese nationalists, even when both Germany and Japan continue
to wear these postwar loincloths of innocence that make Machtpolitik something
of an impiety, let alone a economic question of tanks and missiles and
bayonets.

bayonets.
Canada, Germany and France led the world in 2002 in
anti-Americanism, and their people hated America the most, principally for its
arrogance and preeminence. Many future national elections in Germany would be
fought on the plank of anti-Americanism. No pro-American candidate would ever
be able to become German Chancellor again. During 2002 national elections there
came the accidental success of marginal candidate Gerhard Schroeder, who
brushed the anti-American cream off the top of the electoral vat and scored an
upset victory. Schroeder and Germany are stuck with Anti-Americanism. President
Bush fortified Anti-Americanism in Germany and France, when he refused to have
the Summit level meeting with German Chancellor, during the historic NATO
Summit meeting that brought East European and Central European countries into
the NATO against stiff opposition of Germany and France.
(6) Eastward Shift of
Power to Asia
Power has shifted eastward, not to Eastern Europe but to Asia,
represented by China, India and Japan, the world’s 2nd largest, 4th largest and
3rd largest economies of the world. France, Germany and Japan may not be able
to equal America in military prowess but without their support to the Western
Alliance United States and NATO would cease to play effective role in Europe
and Asia. The basic problem of modern France, which is that it isn't strong
enough to figure dominantly on the international scene by the mere deployment
of its geopolitical or commercial resources, as its GNP of $1.2 trillion makes
it the sixth largest economy of the world, behind America, China, Japan, India
and Germany. France devotes too much of its resources for cultural activities.
This requires a very heavy load on its cultural resources. French cultural
resources and leadership in culture is formidable, but how many operas are
needed to float out the single French aircraft carrier? The French aircraft
carrier Charles de Gaulle has scarcely left French harbor during its
accident-prone existence. There is no chance of the French cutting a bella
figura in any hostilities, and so the easy way out for her is to oppose them.
The aircraft carrier's eponym intuited the problem in 1966, when as president
of France, Charles de Gaulle dramatically pulled the French out of the NATO
administration, but France did not pull out of NATO, and France is still a
member of that alliance, but the authority to deploy French military remains
that of France alone. It is because of that rupture that the NATO
administration was relocated to Brussels, where it sits cheek by jowl with the
European Union. If every one of the NATO powers were to abide by de Gaulle's
maxims, never divest yourself of your own power, but engage in ad hoc
alignments to magnify that power, a stable alliance would be impossible. United
States has to absorb a NATO alliance with room given for the caprice of the two
major nations of Old Europe, Germany and France. Without the active participation
of Germany and France, NATO will cease to have any relevance in Europe.
Who are Americans to bash the French President and German
Chancellor for daring to defy arrogant American president? President Jacques
Chirac openly expressed the private beliefs of virtually every other world
leader that George W. Bush's desire to start an unprovoked war with Iraq is
both crazy and immoral. It has quickly disintegrated into a ferocious display
of American nativism that would be hilarious if its gleeful idiocy wasn't so
frightening. Axis of Weasel," howled the New York Post in reaction to
France and Germany's U.N. stance. A North Carolina restaurateur replaced French
fries with "freedom fries." In West Palm Beach, a bar owner dumps his
stock of French wine in the street, vowing to replace it with vintages from
nations that support a U.S. invasion of Iraq. In Palm Beach, a county official
is working to boycott French businesses from government contracts:
(7) India’s Role in 1st
2nd World Wars
Indians feel that American gone nuts when they frequently tout the
role American troops played in the 2nd World War. Indian Empire had supplied 1
million troops during First World War and 3,500,000 troops during Second World
War. Should India also demand that America, France, and Britain must support
Indian imperial moves in the Middle East because had Indian troops not fought
in the Second World War, British and French may be speaking Deutsch now.
Americans think that France's attitude toward President Bush’s war of oil colonialism
is deplorable. "It's quite possible that if we didn't send our troops
there, the French people would all be speaking German." Allied troops
liberated the French in 1944. The least France could do, the French bashers
argue, is show a little gratitude. They think that France should stand by or
better yet help out--when U.S. troops go to invade/ liberate/ whatever other
countries. Sovereignty and self-determination are fine as mere words, but
sovereignty and self-determination are not right for France a country America
rescued from Nazi occupation to disagree with America’s imperial policy 50
years later and threaten America with a U.N. veto.
(8) America Owes More to
France
France has done for United States than Untied States did for France. Had Napoleon Bonaparte not sold the vast territories to United States for mere $15 million, United States would not have extended from New York to Los Angeles. Without French blockade Cornwallis forces would have emerged victorious and American would not have become independent. To be sure, France owed America a nice thank-you card for D-Day. But America owed France a more. Without France, the United States wouldn't even exist--it would still be a British colony. Every American schoolchild learns that a French naval blockade trapped Cornwallis' forces at Yorktown, bringing the American Revolution to its victorious conclusion. But fewer people are aware that King Louis XVI spent so much money on arms shipments to American rebels that he bankrupted the royal treasury, plunged his nation into depression and unleashed a political upheaval that ultimately resulted in the end of the monarchy. Franklin Roosevelt wrote some fat checks to save France; but Louis gave up his and his wife's heads, to save American Revolution. During the American Civil War, France bankrolled the Union to neutralize British financing for the Confederacy. How many Americans remember that the Statue of Liberty was a gift from French schoolchildren?
(9) Doctrine of Humanitarian Intervention
Clinton Doctrine of Humanitarian Intervention justified invasion of Yugoslavia. Carter Doctrine brought down the monarchy of Shah of Iran and imposed the rule of fundamentalist Ayatollah Khomeini. Bush Doctrine of Regime Change advocated invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq to impose pro-American regimes. The Bush Doctrine advocates invading weak states, imposing "regime change" and building an American empire composed of colonies whose dark-skinned races can be exploited for cheap labor. Napoleon Bonaparte had similar ideas. Napoleon Bonaparte easily outclasses present American Oil colonialists in the pure bellicosity department. Would America choose Bonaparte over Chirac?
(10) Americans Hated & Insulted French
France supposed to get paramount power over Saudi Arabia after the
First World War. France and India played greater military role in First World
War than United States, but United States President Woodrow Wilson and Britain
conspired to cheat France out of its share of spoils of victory. United States
didn’t play any significant role in the First World War. France and Indian
Empire were superior to United States in military capability in 1914. Americans
insulted General Charles de Gaulle and French military capability, to undermine
the superiority of the French military industrial complex, which produced
better military hardware, tanks, and guns than American industry. Some of the
ugly contempt Americans hurl at French dates to France's quick defeat in the
blitzkrieg of May-June 1940. "Do you know how many Frenchmen it takes to
defend Paris?" joked Roy Blunt, a Republican who evidently represented the
unfortunate voters of Missouri. "It's not known; it's never been
tried." Because of 1.4 million French young men who sacrificed their lives
for their country, Paris didn't fall. France lost a staggering four percent of
its population during the Great War. Twenty years later, in 1939, the French
army still suffered from a massive manpower shortage. It cost 100,000 lives of
French soldiers during six awful weeks in 1940, though they failed to save
Paris, but they died defending it.
(11) Bush’s Coalition of Willing
President Bush rushing into war suffering from traditional
American blindness about the cost of the war and the instability it would
produce in the international system. President Bush believes a "coalition
of the willing" of almost any size is big enough to justify America’s war
on Iraq to establish American oil colony. President Bush (1989-1993) didn't
think so in 1990 and 1991, and as a consequence began a painstaking process of
building the biggest war coalition in world history. Right now the United
States can count on Bulgaria, Spain and Britain in the Security Council. That
sounds more like a tennis foursome than a fearsome coalition. Poland is with Bush,
too. It's hard to think of a sixth supporter except maybe Turkey, depending on
the size of the American check. The administration has so bungled the diplomacy
that the best it can hope for is a reluctant coalition of the whining.
President Bush proceeded with the notion that war with Iraq is
more a mop-up operation than a mobilization for bitter, bloody combat. Saddam
Hussein used mustard gas and the nerve agent Tabun against Iran, and unleashed
hydrogen cyanide against the Kurds, could use anthrax, Botulinum toxin and
Aflatoxin against American forces. Iraq can cause lots of damage to American
troops. The consequences would be frightful. United States had trouble finding
Manuel Noriega in Panama in 1989 and 1990 and has been unable to find Osama bin
Laden in 2001, 2002 and 2003. What is the guarantee it can capture Saddam
Hussein, who has more than a dozen body doubles, this spring or next?
(12) America’s Colonial
Dreams in Iraq
The latest anti-Bush line from those who can’t seem either to embrace or to reject his war for oil colonialism in Iraq say that Bush has no vision of what will happen after the war is over. President Bush fleshed out his views in his speech before the American Enterprise Institute. President Bush has not explained the long-term implications of American victory in Iraq, the time years, not months an American occupation troops would require to keep Iraq under control, could strain American resources and patience. The mere presence of American troops and aircraft at Prince Sultan Air Base north of Riyadh in Saudi Arabia justified as a provocation that led to the destruction of the World Trade Center and the attack on the Pentagon, by Saudi Wahhabi terrorists. Actual American occupation of an Islamic land could be even more provocative to terrorist groups and even more destabilizing to the United States' few allies in the region. Middle East experts are sometimes fond of saying that the Arab-Israeli fight is a conflict between two sides that are both right. If barbarian Saudi Wahhabi terrorists could inflict 9/11 damage to the United States, how much more damage determined Iraqis could do to United States?
(13) The Threatening Storm
The Case for Invading Iraq
President Chirac following the clue presented in Pollock’s book, that if President Bush can’t attack Iraq in early 2003, then he would not be able to attack Iraq later on. Pollack’s book “The Threatening Storm: The Case for Invading Iraq” influenced President Bush’s policy on Iraq. America is so far down the line that we can't walk away now: If President Bush doesn't go to war with Saddam Hussein in 2003, then America can't do it. If the United States unwilling to commit the forces necessary to ensure success and the resources necessary to rebuild a stable, prosperous Iraq afterward, it has no business trying to bring about Saddam's overthrow. Tough sentence. Tough world. Kenneth M. Pollack's ideas are not only in the ascendancy, they are holding the capital, country and world in their thrall. Pollack’s “The Threatening Storm” is a legal brief for why now is the time for the United States to invade Iraq. The remarkable thing about Pollack's role in the Iraq debate is his lineage in the foreign-policy world. The man whose ideas are fueling the Bush administration's drive against Baghdad held a high policy position in the Clinton administration. "The Threatening Storm" is on every night table in diplomatic Washington and elsewhere. Pollack's book carries the subtitle "The Case for Invading Iraq.”
America has been pretty good and sensible about avoiding
colonialism and imperialism. America did occupy Germany and Japan after World
War II, as it would have been insane not to. United States have occupied most
every country in Central America, to say nothing of the Philippines, Haiti,
Cuba, Indian country and California. Some might add Texas to the list.
To be more
precise, the events marked begin with Ibn Saud's announcement that he
controlled a new kingdom he called Saudi Arabia on Sept. 23, 1932. Exactly one
month later, another desert king, Faisal, declared the independence of Iraq.
The British, as you might suspect, had a hand in all this. The time-line ends
with the bombing of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
Wolfowitz rebuked the Army chief of staff, Gen. Eric Shinseki, who told Congress that occupation of Iraq might require hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Wolfowitz then asserted that few troops would be needed because Iraq has never had the kind of ethnic strife that has characterized places like the Balkans. Wolfowitz is wrong, Iraq is divided into three parts: Kurds in the north, Saddam Hussein's Sunni Muslims in the center, and the poor (and brutalized) Shiites in the south. That's what the "no-fly zones" were about. And, unless God is as kind as he is great, those people are going to try to chop each other into little pieces if they get half the chance. Sad but true, so send some maps to the Pentagon, too.
(14) Galbraith’s Forecasts
Peter W. Galbraith, a former ambassador who is now a professor of
national security studies at the National War College, offered in Feb ’03, a
view of what might happen next. Galbraith thought that there was a 25 percent
chance of a quick Iraqi capitulation and an orderly transfer of power.
Galbraith, who once handled the Iraq portfolio for the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee and was last in the country six months ago, listed four possible war
and postwar scenarios, with his own estimate of their probability: The
probability of Quick Iraqi surrender is 25 percent. The probability of chaotic
Iraqi collapse is 50 percent. The probability of prolonged Iraqi resistance in
urban is 20 percent. The probability of catastrophic use of weapons of mass
destruction is 5 percent.
"Chaos," the most likely scenario, defined as including
uncontrolled revenge killing and looting, particularly in the poor and
overwhelmingly Shiite Muslim areas of southern Iraq and, possibly, in Baghdad
as well. Also listed as possible was more controlled violence by hundreds of
thousands of Kurds, expelled by Saddam from northern villages and homes after
the 1991 Gulf War. Four thousand Kurdish villages were destroyed, covered over
by Iraqi bulldozers, and more than 100,000 city homes given to Arabic Sunni
Muslims. Armed Kurds, with or without leadership, are going to rush back to
their homes and take them from the Arabs Saddam installed. Galbraith’s estimate
of the number of refugees that chaos would produce was 50,000, with 1 million
more displaced inside the borders of Iraq.
The quick victory for the United States scenario, Galbraith
estimates, would produce 20,000 refugees and 200,000 displaced persons. In the
"urban warfare" scenario, the Iraqi military, particularly the Sunni
Republican Guards, would fight relatively effectively, perhaps even retreating
into Baghdad and battling from house to house. Americans might have to go into
the alleys of a city of 5 million people or lay siege to Baghdad in a very
old-fashioned war. That, he estimated, would produce 75,000 refugees and 3
million displaced persons. Many of the refugees and displaced would be
"bad guys" that is, supporters of Saddam's regime on the run from
their oppressed neighbors.
Finally, there was a 5 percent chance "small but real"
that Saddam would use "weapons of mass destruction" chemical and
biological weapons against the Americans, the Kurds or Israel. In a nightmare
scenario he laid out, Saddam would hit Israel and the Israelis would retaliate
with nuclear weapons. There was a high probability that if Saddam ordered the
use of WMD, his generals would ignore the order; the historical model for
German generals ignoring Hitler's orders to burn Paris as the Allies liberated
the city in 1944. That scenario would produce tens of thousands of deaths and
estimated 4 million refugees and 11 million displaced Iraqis.
(15) Paying For Cost of Iraq War
President Bush wants to establish Oil Colony in Iraq and believed
that Iraqi oil reserves would pay for all fiscal mess that Untied States may
face for decades to come. President Bush wants to occupy Iraq and then partition
the non-oil producing regions into separate independent states, and retain the
states that have oil fields firmly under America’s colonial occupation.
President Bush intends to loot the oil reserves of Iraq to pay for the cost of
America’s war on Iraq. As during colonial era, the colonial gold and riches
paid for the grandeur lifestyles of the Colonial Home lands. President Bush
realized that American economy can maintain its economic preeminence if it
brutally colonizes an oil producing nation. Some supporters of invasion argue
that Iraq's oil reserves can be used to pay the costs of occupation and
rebuilding. But funneling Iraq's oil profits into the U.S. treasury would
simply throw another match on the Mid East tinderbox. The Arab world already believes
the United States is using Saddam's tyranny as an excuse to confiscate Iraq's
oil; shall we be so foolish as to prove them right? Does it matter that this
war could be quite costly? Shouldn't the nation spend generously on defense?
Indeed, it should. There would be less controversy over costs if this war were
likely to make the nation more secure. Unfortunately, an invasion of Iraq could
easily have the opposite effect, as Arab children grow up watching a Muslim
nation under U.S. occupation. Even if the United States installs a friendly
government, as we did in Afghanistan, it'll be clear the White House is pulling
the strings.
(16) Oil Loot Pays Iraqi
War Costs
President Bush heads an Oil Cabinet, knows that oil contracts
would pay for the future Pentagon’s Budget. It's not surprising that Bush
reluctant to face up to the costs of his nation-building project in Iraq. That
yawning abyss could easily suck up the hopes and dreams Americans hold for the
future. By the time the United States finishes paying for the president's
imperial ambitions in the Middle East, there will be little money left for
schools or health care or prescription drugs for the elderly or even homeland
security. President Bush’s war on Iraq could cause severe strains on US economy,
unless United States would loot the oil wealth of Iraq. Unless President Bush
succeed in transferring oil incomes of Iraq to US treasury the European Union
would overtake United States as economic power. No wonder France and Germany
have snubbed this war. While the United States pays the costs of invasion and
nation-building, those countries will have more money for their domestic needs:
schools, health care, parks and recreation, and environmental clean-up. The
European Union could outpace the U.S. because its members will have had the
resources to revitalize their most important infrastructure their citizens.
Even without counting the invasion of Iraq, the Bush budget proposes to shackle
the next generation to an unconscionable burden of debt. With war and
occupation, which could easily run to hundreds of billions, future generations
could be paying off the costs of Iraq War. Direct Colonial Occupation of Iraq
would solve all the financial worries of America and usher in a new Age of Oil
Colonial Empires in the 21st Century.
(17) Algeria-France Alliance
American
traditionally used the Wahhabi terrorists to destabilize secular, liberal
Islamic nations. It is no wonder that Untied States undermined the secular
liberal Islamic societies, namely, Shah of Iran’s liberal Iran, modern Algeria
and secular Iraq. France would now onwards support the President Abdelaziz
Boutflika’s war on Islamic terrorism that seek to impose Wahhabi Shariah laws
over Algeria. United States aimed to establish Ayatollah Khomeini type regime
in Algeria that would break French cultural influence in Algeria. United States
supported Wahhabi terrorists that killed tens of thousands people in Algeria,
to weaken French hold over Algeria. Chirac will discuss Iraq with Algerian
leaders the two sides are expected to concentrate on strengthening relations.
They also will speak about terrorism. Algeria's Islamic extremist movement has
been a source of terrorist activities in Europe and North America, feeding
international groups that helped Osama bin Laden’s Al-Qaida network. Islamic
militants have sought since 1992 to topple Algeria's military-backed government
and set up an Islamic state. Algerian Islamic terrorists have massacred
soldiers and civilians. About 120,000 people have died. Government security
forces have also been accused of human rights violations. Trying to put the
insurgency behind it and bring back investors, President Abdelaziz Bouteflika
has offered amnesty to rebels who surrender their weapons. Thousands accepted
the deal, but others fight on from mountain hideouts undermining government
claims that the insurgency is beaten. Bush has taken the events of 9/11 and has
manipulated the grief of the country that's reprehensible. Iraq’s war is about
what most wars are about: hegemony, money, power and oil.
(18) Arrogance Widened Rift with Europe
It is strange that no major media either in print media and
electronic media offer a divergent view opposing President Bush’s war of oil
colonialism. American politicians and media have criticized with increasing
irony and arrogance those who don't adopt their line, particularly their
European friends, France and Germany. This means that the rift between Europe
and the United States is widening at the alarming rate the same time as an
American colonial attack against Iraq to establish American oil colonialism
draws ever closer. In the United States, one often seeks to find an answer to
the question: Why can't the naive critics of Bush Oil Cabinet understand that
America must get rid of Saddam Hussein and establish American Oil in Iraq so
that western world could become richer by looting the oil wealth of the Islamic
world that launched 9/11 attacks? Why can’t French and Germans learn to
cooperate with the American Oil imperialism? In Europe, instead, one hears the
basic question: Why can't the United States understand that the victims and the
risks involved in an attack on Iraq for establishing an American Oil Colony in
Iraq, are too great, as it would unleash the New Age of Colonial empires in the
21st Century?'
(19) Anti-Americanism
United UNO & NAM
United Nations regained its lost credibility by opposing President
Bush’s unwarranted war on Iraq. United Nations and Non Aligned Movement nations
summit proved it’s relevant in the multipolar world by standing against United
States. The showdown at the U.N. Security Council is just a sideshow on the
stage of world opinion. If the UN Security Council agrees with President Bush,
then United Nations will have been useful to the Americans. If the council doesn't
agree, then American media would declare United Nations irrelevant. The
American superpower's decision to go to war has been made; it's only a question
of when. President Bush asked his close aides to prepare the attack on Iraq,
within days of the 9/11 attacks. United Nations could articulate the world
public opinion in spite of American media warfare.
United States wasted the world’s compassion it received after 9/11
attacks, by its relentless pursuit of American Oil Colonial interests to
establish oil colonies first in the Iraq and then in Iran. Because of 9/11
terrorist attacks from the Baltic to the Black Sea, from India to South Africa,
from Indonesia to Japan there has been unanimity of government support and
sympathy for America that, burgeoning America’s antagonism toward France and
Germany, would have been unthinkable just a few months ago.
East Europeans would commit a hara-kiri if they decide to support
American Oil Colonialism and oppose France and Germany that opposed American
neo-colonialism. Eastern Europe and the Balkans, unlike their Western
neighbors, have a sense of history, which, because of their recent turbulence,
has a relevance to the present France-American, German-American conflict.
Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder made a point of drawing a line under Germany's
wartime guilt and took anti-war stand and compared president Bush to Adolf
Hitler. France pointedly ignores its own wartime debt to America and asserted
the glory and power of France otherwise President Chirac feared the Neo-Fascists
would takeover France in the next elections.
One shouldn’t spit at the face of the donor that feeds one. The
leaders of East Europe and Central Europe would have to take humbling choice so
soon after they got liberated from Soviet tyranny, to choose either Germany
France or America as their new master. If they chose America then they can’t
expect France and Germany to pay for their economic development. Would Yankee
taxpayers pay for the economic development of East and central Europe, if thy
get booted out of European Union? East Europeans took anti-French and
anti-German stand to declare their open support to NATO imperialism in Iraq,
hoping they would make a good living serving in American occupation forces in
post-Saddam Iraq. East European admiration for America is firmly seated in
gratitude for the covert and overt support of successive Washington
administrations for political dissent during the years of Soviet domination.
America is perceived by East Europeans as attaching a value to democracy that
is lacking in France and Germany. Many parts of Eastern Europe feel let down by
France and particularly Germany for breaking promises, made during German
reunification process, to act as a bridge between Eastern Europe and Western
Europe. East Europeans could have blocked the unification of Germany, had
Germany and France not offered them great hopes of cooperation in future. East
Europeans intend to teach Germany and France a lesson by undermining
German-France Axis in European Union.
President Carter encouraged the election of Bolshevik Bishop as
the Pope Paul II to undermine the influence of Italy, Germany and France over
Vatican government. President Bush encouraged the entry of East Europeans into
NATO to undermine the Germany and France leadership of the European Union. Tony
Blair reviled in France, not because Britain wanted dominating European Union,
but Britain refused to allow European Union become a counterweight to the
United States. United States intended to bring down European Union, as the
expanded European Union would challenge the domination of the United States.
The United States, it seems, does not intend to encourage European unity, and
it would be strange if it did. Why would the United States, with its receding
economy, wish good luck to the European super state?''
Belgian
Foreign Minister Louis Michel's explicit statement that Belgium is 'no lackey
of the United States' did not go down particularly well in Washington. EU will
finally complement its economic power with adequate political and military
power so that EU became a credible alternative to the United States. Western
Europe is currently better off than Eastern Europe, because the USA has never
regarded its European allies as lackeys, but rather as partners, albeit not
always in a very tactful way.'
British Capitalists want to join with France and Germany, because United States undermined British oil colonial interests in Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, and Brunei, the former colonies of the India-British Empire. Conservatives would reverse pro-US policy of the British government. Ireland should learn that Ireland’s recent economic prosperity owes much more to Germany and France than to the United States. Should Germany and France squeeze the Euro flow to Ireland to punish Ireland for its support to United States? In Britain and Ireland, anti-war feeling directed at the Bush administration, not America as a nation. Between the U.S. and France, it's personal animosities and likely to cause long-term damage to French-American relations. In view of the abuse that America heaped upon France, the French response has remained remarkably restrained. Perhaps Americans should look in their own closet before whipping the French with history.
France today,
busybody appears as the gleaming champion of the opposition to America. French
and German opposition to American Oil colonialism unleashed a Franco phobic
hysteria there and anti-Americanism in Germany that would make Germany and
France permanent enemies of United States for decades to come. German French
opposition to President Bush has undermined NATO and European Union, though
they are not yet broken but are fractured beyond repair. If President Bush
persists in wanting colonial war in Iraq that it ceaselessly announces, France
and Germany will have to face the prospect of abstention, from US-led expanded
NATO. In short, France and Germany may exit through the back door, and seek
alternative defense ties with nuclear Russia to undermine American hegemony in
NATO. Germany may ask American to withdraw its troops from bases on German
soil.
France,
Germany, Belgium, and Russia realized that American Oil Colonialism enjoys no
inherent technical, financial, political and military advantages over rival French
and German oil colonialism. America realizes that its economy is rotten from
within and only by looting the oil wealth of Iraq, could America hope to remain
an economic power in the 21st Century. It would be naïve for the Untied States
to believe that France, Germany, Belgium, Russia, China, Japan and India would
permit American Oil Colonialism to occupy and loot the Black gold of Iraq, as
Spain had looted the gold of the Incas and Mayas. Iraq is also an ancient
Civilization. Germany and France and Russia could emerge as the economic rival
to the American economy, if they succeed to establish Oil colony in Iraq. China
would overtake America as the world’s top economic power in 5 years, if China
could establish Oil Colony in Iraq or Saudi Arabia or Kuwait. India could also
overtake United States as the leading economic power in 10 years if India could
establish Oil colony in Iraq, or Saudi Arabia or Kuwait. United States enjoys
super Power status not because of the inherent strength of American economy or American
industry but because of America’s colonial occupation of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait
and UAE. India as well as China could overtake United States as the leading
economic and military power, if they could establish oil colonies in Iraq or
Saudi Arabia or Kuwait. In the 21st Century the Global Clash of Races
ultimately boils down to the global clash of Oil Colonialism and the clash of
neo-colonial empires. India, China should focus on Arabian Gulf in the Third
World War and attempt the control of the Arabian Gulf Oil and attempt to deny
other powers, whether hostile or friendly, the control Arabian Gulf Oil. He who
controls the oil of the Arabian Gulf would determine the outcome of the Third
World War and emerge as the Super Power of the world. During 18th and 19th
Century the Persian Gulf or Arabian Gulf had been Indian Lake and controlled by
Navy of Indian Empire. The Central banks of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman,
and Yemen kept their foreign currency reserves in Indian rupee as late as 1964.
As late as 1964, there were three foreign currency zones in the world, namely,
American Dollar zone, British Pound Sterling zone and Indian rupee zone.
30(14) Bush’s Oil War on
Iraq
(1) Dialectics of Jihad,
Crusades, Colonialism
American
Oil colonialism succeeded in securing the support of United Arab Emirates and
Saudi Arabia for American’s invasions of Iraq, in exchange for Saudi Arabia and
UAE in the foreign occupation troops that would rule and govern Iraq after the
ouster of Saddam Hussein. Wahhabi Arab nations United Arab Emirates and Saudi
Arabia support American invasion of Iraq, as a necessary cost for maintaining
Sunni Arab rule over Iraq, where Sunni Arabs represent only 16 percent of the
population. Ruler of Abu Dhabi proposed Saddam Hussein should step down, and
let Arab armies enter Iraq and rule Iraq as occupation troops, for some years
so that the elections could be held and new democratically elected government
could stabilize Iraq and avert ethnic civil war in Iraq. The Emirates proposal
contained suggested that if Saddam Hussein stepped down, forces from Arab
League countries should enter Iraq and try to stabilize the situation. These
forces would serve in lieu of American forces. Emirates officials have gone out
of their way to say that Washington did not generate the proposal for Mr.
Hussein to step down. Similarly, American diplomats have said that the idea was
the Emirates' own. Wahhabi UAE and Saudi Arabia entered into a Faustian
agreement with America to establish American oil colonialism in the Arab world.
The five world powers, namely, France, Germany, Russia, China and India opposed
to this Faustian agreement of the Arab states to rape and loot the riches of
Iraq and to impose the Arab Wahhabi rule over Shiite-Kurd majority Iraq. Either
Iraq should be brought under the rule of five great powers, namely, France,
Germany, Russia, China and India, or Iraq should be brought under the rule of
the Non Aligned nations, led by India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia,
Indonesia and Egypt, for the interim period it would required to hold
democratic elections in Iraq. Neither United States nor Saudi Arabia and the
Emirates should occupy Iraq in post-Saddam era. Libya correctly charged Wahhabi
Saudi Arabia to have entered into an alliance with the Devil America, to
establish American oil colony over Saudi Arabia in exchange for the rule of
House of Al Saud in Saudi Arabia and the rule of Wahhabi clergy over Mecca and
Medina.
Christian
Americans harnessed the power of Wahhabi fundamentalism to loot the Oil riches
of Arabian lands, just as Damascus Jews harnessed the military power of Muslim
Arab Bedouin raiders to loot the riches of Egypt and Syria in 7th Century and
just as Roman Catholic Church harnessed the power of Muslim Ottoman Turks to
loot the riches of Byzantine Christian Constantinople. Damascus Jews and urban
Arab traders had financed the military expeditions of Bedouin Muslim tribes to
loot Egypt and Syria after 640 AD to profit by the loot of the Civilizations.
Hellenic Jews had joined the Christian armies unleashed by Christian Roman
Emperor Theodosius I (d. 395 AD) to loot the riches of pagan temples of Greece,
Rome, Egypt and Syria. The Catholic Crusaders during Fourth Crusade looted the
Byzantine Christian Constantinople. Roman Catholic church supported the looting
and rape of Constantinople at hands of Muslim Ottoman Suleiyman. United States
and Britain supported Islamic fundamentalism to carve out spheres of influence
to establish oil colonies in Saudi Arabia and Iraq by undermining Ottoman
Empire by unleashing Wahhabi terrorism. American Oil colonialism financed
Ayatollah Khomeini to establish oil colony in Iran by overthrowing the
nationalist patriotic imperial regime of Shah of Iran. British oil interests
financed and supported Mohammad Ali Jinnah to carve out a new Islamic state in
Indian Empire by portioning India in 1947, so that India may not have direct
borders with oil-rich Iran. United States supported Osama Bin laden and allowed
Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, with direct support of Saudi Arabia and UAE to
establish American oil colony in Afghanistan to control the Turkmenistan,
Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India Oil-Gas Pipeline to transport the Turkmenistan
Oil and Uzbekistan Gas to the oil terminals at Baluchistan port of Gwadar or to
Indian markets.
National
interests of United States, religious interests of Christian religious right
conspiracy and Osama Bin laden coincide and they jointly seek to undermine and
destabilize all other secular, liberal, moderate, democratic Islamic nations.
President Bush’s invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and threatened invasion of
Iraq in 2003 enhanced the power and influence of Wahhabi fundamentalism in
Afghanistan and Iraq in particular and Middle East in general. But for the
Wahhabi terrorist attacks of Sept 11, the Osama Bin Laden and President Bush
might have been best friends. President Bush may be invading Iraq to establish
American oil colony in Iraq and to establish Wahhabi fundamentalist regime in
Iraq. It appears that Pakistan and United States provided safe passage to Al
Qaeda leadership and Osama Bin Laden from Afghanistan and secured safe houses
for them in Pakistan, and camouflaged it as political necessity for waging war
on terrorism. It is likely that United States would help Osama Bin laden become
ruler of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE to loot and overthrow the ruling royal
houses in the Arabian Gulf, much like the Ayatollah Khomeini take over of Iran.
The national and geopolitical interests of American Oil colonialism coincide with
that of Osama Bin Laden and conflict with that of nationalistic secular Islamic
regimes, namely, Iran, Syria, Algeria and Malaysia and democratic Pakistan. The
interests of American Oil Colonialism, Christian religious right conservative
conspiracy, Osama Bin Laden, Saudi House of Al Saud and militant Wahhabi Sunni
fundamentalism coincide and radically conflict with the national interests of
secular, nationalistic, patriotic and secular Muslim nations and societies. The
national interests of France, Germany, Belgium, Russia, China and India
conflict with those of Wahhabi fundamentalism and American Oil Colonialism.
(2) Thesis, anti-Thesis
and Synthesis
In early
1900’s the Ottoman Empire was the Thesis, and British-American supported
Wahhabi fundamentalism the Anti-Thesis and it resulted in the disintegration of
Ottoman Empire and synthesis of the alliance of Rule of Al Saud family in Saudi
Arabia and Iraq, and the American monopoly over Saudi Oil and British monopoly
over Iraqi oil and religious monopoly of Mecca-based Wahhabi Clergy. In 1947,
the British Indian empire was the Thesis, the British Spy agency supported
Mohammad Ali Jinnah and M.K. Gandhi was the Anti-Thesis, and the result was the
synthesis of partition of Indian Empire. In 1980 the Pahlavi Monarchy of Iran
was the Thesis and the CIA Spy Ayatollah Khomeini the Anti-Thesis and it
resulted in the synthesis of the tyranny of fundamentalist Ayatollah Khomeini
and the downfall of the liberal, secular Aryan Pahlalvi Monarchy of Shah of
Iran.
(3) Secession of Saudi
Arabia & Iraq
To be more
precise, the events marked begin with Ibn Saud's announcement that he
controlled a new kingdom he called Saudi Arabia on Sept. 23, 1932. Exactly one
month later, another desert king, Faisal, declared the independence of Iraq.
The British, as you might suspect, had a hand in all this. The time-line ends
with the bombing of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. British Spy
Colonel Lawrence of Arabia was the first to exploit the military potential of
Wahhabi fundamentalism to undermine the Ottoman Empire. Arab Muslims lost their
influence in Islamic Caliphates after Baghdad became the capital of the Islamic
Abbasid Caliphate in 762, just 100 years after the advent of Islam in 640 AD in
Mecca. The second Caliph of the Abbasid Empire Abu Ja’far al Mansour founded
Baghdad in 762 AD. In 1258 Mongol invaders lay waste to Baghdad, ending the
Abbasid dynasty, slaughtering hundreds of thousands, including the Caliph. In
1401 the Mongol Ruler Tamerlane massacres much of the population of Baghdad. In
1831, under the rule of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, floods and bubonic plague
reduce the population of Baghdad by 66 percent. In 1917, Ottoman Empire, allied
with Germans falls in World War I, and British forces occupy Baghdad and create
the state of Iraq, which never existed in history. States of Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Israel and Palestine have also never
existed in history and were creation of British secret services. On September
23, 1932, artificial state of Saudi Arabia created by American secret services.
And on October 23, 1932, the artificial state of Iraq created by British secret
services. King Faisal II, was a British spy and agent and recruited by British
Spy Colonel Lawrence of Arabia, and King Faisal agreed to hand over all Oil
riches to Britain in exchange for the privilege to become the king. King Abdul
Aziz ibn Saud had agreed to hand over all the oil riches to America and all
religious powers to Meccan Wahhabi clergy in exchange for the right of al Saud
family to rule Saudi Arabia. Artificial states of Saudi Arabia and Iraq were
simultaneously created in oil-producing regions. The artificial states of
Jewish Israel and Muslim Pakistan artificially created by British Secret
Services that fomented communal riots in Israel and Pakistan almost coinciding.
Without the continued support of the United States president no Arab Muslim
nation would survive as independent nation, and America exploited this ground
reality to secure American colonial control over Arab oil reserves and
oil-generated wealth.
America’s
2001 Afghanistan War and 2003 Iraq war aimed to establish Wahhabi control over
Afghanistan and Iraq and American Oil colonies in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Whenever Islamic terrorism agreed to shun attacks on American oil colonialism,
the Wahhabi terrorists would regain their high status as warriors of the CIA.
Perhaps United States would install Osama Bin Laden or some one from Bin Laden
Group as the new ruler of Saudi Arabia if he agreed to loot the assets of the
Saudi Arabian royal family. Alliances periodically change in the world of Big
Oil, Big Money and Big Politics.
France,
Germany, Russia, China and India should not rule out the possibility of future
alliance of Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden with the CIA to restore American Oil
Colonialism throughout the Muslim oil-producing world. There has been no
divorce in the marriage of the CIA and Islamic terrorism, though it could be a
situation of forced separation due to 9/11 terrorist attacks, but in no case be
termed as divorce. According to Shariah Muslim men can divorce just by uttering
Talak four times and can remarry the divorced wife four times. After the
American conquest of Iraq, Osama Bin Laden and the CIA could remarry and plan their
next move to overthrow the tyranny of illegitimate House of Al Saud in Saudi
Arabia and illegitimate regime of Al Sabah in Kuwait and other illegitimate
Wahhabi Royal families in UAE, Qatar and Bahrain. Pakistan provided a safe
heaven to Osama Bin Laden hoping he would some day become the ruler of Saudi
Arabia after the imminent downfall of the corrupt House of Al Saud monarchy in
Saudi Arabia.
(4) Jihad As Counter
Reformation War
Jihad represented the Counter Reformation movement in Islam, which
abandoned reasoned spiritual struggle and renewed focus on militant Jihad. It
explains that Catholic Vatican, the leader of the Counter Reformation movement
in Christianity, find common cause with Wahhabi the Jihadis the leaders of the
Counter Reformation Movement in Islam. The Islamic concept of Jihad (Islamic
terrorism) laid the foundation of the decline of Islam after the Mongol
conquest of Islamic world in 1258. The emphasis on Ijtihad (reasoned spiritual
struggle) was abandoned with renewed focus on militant Jihad (holy war). Soon
thereafter, Ibn Taimiyah (1262-1327), a Syrian theologian, laid the theological
foundations of militant Islam’s revival that remains the theological font of
all counter-reformation thinking among Muslims. Saddam was avowedly anti-religion
until the 1991 Gulf War, after which he started his pretense of championing
Islamic causes. In doing so he played on a historic tendency that has
characterized Muslim behavior since the Middle Ages. Muslims turn to literalism
in interpreting religion and admire defiant militants whenever their Ummah
(community of believers) is threatened by the military might of non-Muslims.
American conquest of Iraq represents the 21st century version of the 1258
Mongol conquest of Baghdad and the Ottoman conquest of the Islamic world. Arab
race would have to accept their fate under foreign occupation and they have no
option but to remain under foreign occupation for few more centuries. Arab race
survived under Mongol Caliphate, Ottoman Caliphate and would also survive under
American Caliphate. Arab oil-producing nations are very wealthy in terms of oil
and gas resources and very weak militarily and have very small population.
Geopolitically no golden bird can fly free and its destiny is to find peace in
a cage. Wahhabi fundamentalism is the diplomatic doctrine conceived by British
American secret services and British American Oil Colonialism to disintegrate
Muslim Ummah and to establish American Oil colonies throughout oil-producing
Islamic world. Arab Wahhabi Sunni fundamentalism was the secret weapon designed
and perfected by American Oil Colonialism to conquer and enslave Islamic
nations and to loot Islamic oil wealth. Islamic nations would never remain free
and control Islamic oil resources so long as Arab Wahhabi Sunnis remain in
power in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE. Only by militarily destroying Arab
Wahhabi fundamentalism and Islamic militancy in Arabian Peninsula could
civilized Islamic nations regain power and prestige in the world and succeed in
protecting Islam itself from sure self-destruction.
(5) Should Arab League
Occupy Iraq?
Like the former black slave traders of Africa that captured black
slaves for White and Arab slave traders, the Ruler of Abu Dhabi proposed that
Armed forces of Arab League should acquire political control over Iraq in the
post-Saddam Iraq and directly rule and govern it till the time elections could
be held and power transferred to the elected representatives of Iraq, which may
take years or even decades. The ruler of Abu Dhabi Sheik Zayed bin Sultan Al
Nahyan threw the bait to rape and loot Iraq, to the fellow Arab League leaders,
notably Egypt by suggesting that Armed Forces from Arab League countries could
enter Iraq and occupy it and control its oil and wealth on behalf of the people
of Iraq, for the interim period to transfer to the elected representative of
the Iraqi people. What worried the most to the Arab League leaders was is
possibility of Civil War in Iraq that carried a lot of anti-Arab Sunni
vengeance among Shiite Arab tribes and Sunni Kurd tribes inside Iraq. Sheikh
al-Nahyan offered the Arab League leaders chance to loot the oil wealth of Iraq
and keep Sunni Arab domination over Iraq, even when Arab Sunnis represent only
16 percent population of Iraq. The UAE and Saudi Arabia had teamed up with
Pakistan and United States to impose Wahhabi Taliban rule over Afghanistan in
1995. The Emirates and Saudi Arabia dream to establish Wahhabi Sunni regime in
Post-Saddam Iraq. United States won the support of UAE by offering to share
with the Arab League the loot of Iraq. The Emirates also maintained relations
with the Taliban in Afghanistan and was the one of the three countries that
recognized the government of Taliban, besides Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
America waging psychological warfare against Iraq, by inducing
Saddam to resign and stroked the greed of UAE and Saudi Arabia by offering to
hand over the oil and wealth of Iraq to Gulf Arab nations for colonial
occupation and exploitation and for imposition of Wahhabi rule over Iraq. The
Wahhabi King Faisal II had ruled Iraq from 1953 to July 14, 1958, before
overthrown by the CIA inspired military coup. British secret services and
Colonel Lawrence of Arabia had installed King Faisal I as ruler of Iraq in 1921
and he ruled till 1933. The Emirates proposal contained suggested that if Mr.
Hussein left, forces from Arab League countries should enter Iraq and try to
stabilize the situation. These forces would serve in lieu of American forces.
Emirates officials have gone out of their way to say that Washington did not
generate the proposal for Mr. Hussein to step down. Similarly, American
diplomats have said that the idea was the Emirates' own. Two days before the
Arab League meeting, Secretary of State, Colin L. Powell said that it would be
helpful if the Arab countries called on the Iraqi leader to go into exile. Was
this was merely "coincidence. In the 1990's, the Emirates among the first
few Arab nations to ease up on the economic sanctions imposed on Mr. Hussein
after the 1991 war. Until the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York and
Washington, the Emirates also maintained relations with the Taliban in
Afghanistan, and directly supported Osama Bin Laden and Mohammad Omar. But in
the late 1990’s, the United Arab Emirates has drawn closer to the United
States. In 2001, the Emirates ordered 80 new generation F-16 fighter jets for
an estimated $6.5 billion dollars, one of the biggest single orders ever for
advanced American military aircraft, and these F-16 fighter jets carry nuclear
weapons payload. The UAE may transfer these nuclear weapon capable F-16 fighter
jets to Pakistan to launch preemptive nuclear strikes against non-Muslim
targets.
(6) Shiites & Kurds
Oppose Sunni Arabs
A conference of Muslim nations to mobilize the Islamic world to
help avert a war against Iraq degenerated into a shouting match on March 5, 03.
The Muslim leaders failed to publicly reconsider a proposal calling on Saddam
Hussein to go into exile. Emirates Information Minister, Sheik Abdullah Zayed
al-Nahyan, who was informally pushing the exile idea. The March 5, 03 Islamic
conference followed a gathering of non-aligned nations in Malaysia 10 days ago,
and a stormy meeting of the Arab League was held in Cairo. The most tantalizing
notion of today's gathering was the proposal for Mr. Hussein to go into exile.
The idea was first aired at the Arab League in Cairo, from the president of the
United Arab Emirates, Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan. Exile, the Emirates
leader, prompted by United States the Emirates leader wanted the exile of
Saddam Hussein as it would avert Iraqi war and would deal peacefully with
President Bush's determination to achieve regime change, allowing United States
to establish Oil Colony Iraq without sacrificing any blood. The proposal made
an impression in Cairo because it came from an elder statesman of the generally
fractious Arab world, as Sheik Zayed, in his mid-80's, is the overseer of the
Emirates oil reserves, the third largest after Saudi Arabia and Iraq, and has
learnt to profit by American oil colonialism. Sheik Abdullah, son of the
Emirates president, floated the proposal around the conference side rooms. UAE
was not in a position to officially propose it because the Arab League had
refused to table it for discussion. Egypt, the head of the Arab League, gave
the idea short shrift. Egypt realized that Untied States would expel all the
Arab League troops from Iraq, the day Saddam Hussein stepped aside.
Arab leaders are worried about the Anti-Arab Sunni vengeance that
would be unleashed by Arab Shiites and Sunni Kurds, and the civil war that
would carry a lot of vengeance among tribes inside Iraq. Wahhabi Arab leaders
want to support the American invasion of Iraq, so that they could use Arab
Armed forces to impose the tyranny of Arab Sunnis over Iraq, even when Sunni
Arabs represent only 16 percent of Iraq’s population. The Emirates proposal
contained suggested that if Mr. Hussein left, forces from Arab League countries
should enter Iraq and try to stabilize the situation. These forces would serve
in lieu of American forces. Emirates officials have gone out of their way to
say that Washington did not generate the proposal for Mr. Hussein to step down.
Similarly, American diplomats have said that the idea was the Emirates' own.
Earlier at the summit, the United Arab Emirates became the first Arab nation to
openly call for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to step down to spare the region
war. Emirates Information Minister Sheik Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan told
reporters the proposal made by his father, Sheik Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan,
was not seriously considered because the 22-member "Arab League doesn't
have the courage to discuss it. Arab leaders debating whether to call on Saddam
Hussein to step down peacefully are deeply divided and fearful it could set a
precedent that would ultimately threaten their own authority, in their own
countries. In the latest sign of Arab ambivalence, six Gulf States allied with
the United States failed to endorse a proposal today that called on Mr. Hussein
to relinquish power as a means of averting war.
(7) Is Kuwait a Monkey
& Iraq Hypocrite?
Iraq correctly labeled Kuwait as the Monkey, as Kuwait has no
military power, and Kuwait hoped to rape and loot Iraq by joining the
occupation forces of Arab League that would enter Iraq after the ouster of
Saddam Hussein. Kuwait correctly called Saddam Hussein as the ‘hypocrite.”
Saddam Hussein had been the CIA Agent when in 1968, with the CIA’s support
Saddam Hussein took power and emerged as the strongman of the small Baath
(Renaissance) Party. Saddam Hussein had invaded Iran at behest of America.
Saddam Hussein had invaded Kuwait, with the approval of the American Ambassador
to Iraq. Kuwait correctly labeled Saddam as hypocrite as he had been a secret
supporter of American oil colonialism before the 1990 invasion of Kuwait. In a
scathing exchange that was a rhetorical replay of the Gulf War sparked by
Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait, Saddam Hussein's second-in-command lobbed
insults at Kuwait's delegate to a conference of 57 Islamic nations. The
underlying tensions erupted in the elegant Ritz Carlton hotel ballroom when the
vice chairman of Iraq's Revolutionary Command Council, Izzat Ibrahim, told the
Kuwaiti minister of state for foreign affairs, Mohammed Sabah al-Salem
al-Sabah, to "shut up, you monkey." The Iraqi followed up with an
Arab epithet, "Curse be upon your mustache, you traitor." The Kuwaiti
responded by saying the Iraqi was a hypocrite. Kuwait information minister,
Sheik Ahmed Fahd al-Ahmed jumped up to defend his country's honor by waving a
miniature Kuwaiti flag. ''Shut up, you monkey!'' Izzat Ibrahim shouted at
Kuwait's Sheik Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah, after the Kuwaiti voiced support for a
United Arab Emirates proposal that Saddam Hussein should resign to avert war,
and that Armed Forces from Arab League should enter Iraq and serve as
occupation forces, till the elections could determine the new Iraqi leadership
to take over the political power. 'Damn your mustache!'' Ibrahim added, lobbing
an old Bedouin curse that challenges one's honor. He also called the Kuwaiti
official ''a dog'' and ''a traitor to the Islamic nation'' for allowing
thousands of U.S. troops in his country. Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafy, known
for his rash remarks, said in his speech that Saudi Arabia had formed "an
alliance with the devil" when it asked U.S. troops to protect it from Iraq
during the 1991 Gulf War. Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah interrupted angrily from
across the room, wagging his finger and calling Gadhafi "an agent for colonizers."
Secretary-General Amr Moussa soon after wrapped up the Arab League Summit,
reading a final communiqué that affirmed Arabs' "total rejection of any
attack on Iraq," and calling for the crisis to be resolved under an
international umbrella. The statement did not spell out how Arabs would
contribute to finding a solution. "We are all targeted. We are all in
danger," asserted Syrian leader Assad.
(8) Wahhabi Saudi’s
Alliance with Devil
Libya correctly argued that Wahhabi Saudi Arabia from its inception
in 1920’s had formed an alliance with the devil. American secret services
installed Wahhabi Abdul Aziz ibn Saud as King of Saudi Arabia and Wahhabi
Clergy as religious rulers of Mecca and Medina in exchange for establishing
American Oil Colony over Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia correctly labeled Moammar
Gadhafy as an Agent for colonizers. The CIA had supported the military coup led
by Moammar Gadhafy against Libya’s King Idriss in exchange for establishing
American oil colony over Libya. Arab leaders realize that many Arab nations
would lose their independence and sovereignty within years of the American
invasion of Iraq. Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafy said that Saudi Arabia had
formed "an alliance with the devil." Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah angrily
called Gadhafy "an agent for colonizers." The critical issue is Arab
sovereignty. The United States was able to construct a strong Arab coalition to
fight the Gulf war in 1991 because Arab countries saw a threat to their
independence when one Arab state Iraq invaded another Arab state Kuwait. In
2003, the same principle of Arab sovereignty is working against efforts by the
United States to win Arab backing. Arab countries fear that the United States,
by forcibly removing Mr. Hussein, would be diminishing Arab sovereignty, and
would bring down the government of Assad in Syria and House of Al Saud in Saudi
Arabia. The United States explained its objectives in a way that frightens many
Arab leaders. There's no doubt that the real purpose underlying the American
invasion of Iraq is massive social and political change in the Middle East.
There's a feeling that regime changes is going to be imposed throughout the
Middle East, and this made Arab leaders nervous.
(9) Is Arab the Nation of
Mice or Tigers?
In the eyes of Americans, the Arabs are lower than mice in the
face of enemies of Arabs. Yet amongst Arabs, the Arabs are fierce as tigers,
biting and eating each other. In Saudi Arabian Khaled al-Maeena, editor of Arab
News was "shocked, appalled and saddened" by the broadcast feud. In
front of the world Arab leaders have become a laughing stock. The Arab people
are disappointed and confused." Arab News writer Nourah al-Khereiji
expressed dismay at Arab apathy about this year's Summit. "I had expected
the Arab people to shoulder their responsibilities in these critical times and
be the first to protest and say no to a war with Iraq defying security forces
and the police if need be so that the disgraceful actions of their leaders be
laid bare to the world via satellite television. Arabs are lower than mice in
the face of our enemy. Yet amongst ourselves Arabs are fierce as tigers, biting
and eating each other." In terms of military capability it is true that
Arab states are like mice, when they face enemies, even as small as cat as
Israel. Due to the lack of law of primogeniture in Ottoman Empire, the newly
crowned Emperor Caliph would arrange the murder of all his male brothers
including infants on the very night of his coronation. The lure to loot the oil
wealth of the oil-producing Muslim nations the fellow Arab leaders would not
hesitate to massacre the entire royal family of the victim nation. Any Arab
leaders would happily kill any number of the fellow Arab leaders to get the
chance to rape and loot the oil wealth of the fellow oil-producing Arab nation.
Just as Saudi Arabia and United Arab emirates would happily join the military
bandwagon of the United States to rape and loot the wealth of oil-rich Iraq,
the other Muslim nations, namely, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan,
Bangladesh and Indonesia would be more than willing to join the military
bandwagon of America, whenever it decides to conquer and loot the oil riches of
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, or Brunei, in exchange for a share of the loot.
Islamic world is divided and ripe for foreign conquest and exploitation.
(10) Non Aligned Troops
in Iraq
The Ruler of Abu Dhabi toeing American line when he proposed that
Armed Forces of Arab League nations should enter Iraq after the ouster of
Saddam Hussein and act as the occupation troops for some years. It would be
better it armed forces of Non aligned nations, from India, Pakistan, Malaysia,
Indonesia, Palestine and Egypt enter Iraq and stabilize the situation and avert
the looming civil war in Iraq and prepare Sunni Kurds and Arab Shiites to take
over political and economic power in Iraq over next few years. The Emirates
proposal contained suggestion that if Saddam Hussein stepped down, forces from
Arab League countries should enter Iraq and try to stabilize the situation. These
Armed forces from Arab League nations would serve in lieu of American forces.
Emirates officials have gone out of their way to say that Washington did not
generate the proposal for Saddam Hussein to step down, which the Ruler of Abu
Dhabi presented to the Summit. Similarly, American diplomats have said that the
idea was the Emirates' own, and Colin Powell had nothing to do with it. The
Arab League troops would rape and loot Iraq and impose the rule of Sunni Arabs
that represent only the 16 percent of the population and would impose the rule
of barbarian fundamentalist Sunni Wahhabi rule over secular liberal Iraq.
Better still the political power in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and United Arab
Emirates should be transferred to the Armed forces of Non Aligned Nations,
headed by Pakistan, Egypt, India, Malaysia, Indonesia and Bangladesh for some
years, till the time democratic elections are held in Arab nations and power
transferred to the democratically elected representatives of the Arab peoples
in these countries. Founded in 762 A.D., Baghdad served as the capital of the
Abbasid Empire that ruled most of the Islamic world until the 13th century, and
sacked twice by the Mongols first time in 1258 and again in 1401. American
occupation of Baghdad in 2003 would result in the enslavement and occupation of
the entire oil-producing Islamic world, including the establishment of American
oil colonies in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE and Brunei. Iraq should be handed
over to the Non Aligned Nations, so that leading NAM powers should administer
it, till Iraq is ready for power transfer to democratically elected government.
Bet still the armed forces of world powers, namely, France, Germany, Russia,
China and India should stabilize post-Saddam Iraq and prepare Iraq for the
peaceful transition to elected representatives of the Iraqi people. Defending
the Iraqi from rape by United States, UAE or Saudi Arabia would be the first
crucial test of the five world powers, namely, France, Germany, Russia, China
and India. If the crusade led by France and Germany succeed in averting
America’s invasion of Iraq, the Concert of World Powers would come into being
and new Congress System of diplomacy would begin and five world powers would
periodically realign their diplomatic assets to hold Yankee America in the
check in the 21st Century.
30(15) Oil is Bush’s God!
(1) Bush Worships Pagan
God of Oil
Bush is
not a religious nut, but an oil imperialist. Bush waged America’s war for oil
colonialism, not a war for propagation of Christian interests. Catholic French
wrongly condemn President Bush as a nut on grounds of religion, influenced by
the anti-Protestant propaganda of counter Reformation, and fail to realize that
Bush did not wage Papal war of crusades against Muslims, but waged war or oil
colonialism against Arab oil producers, and thus crossed the path of the
imperial designs of Papacy. Bush is not a nut and a very sensible men dreaming
to conquer the world. Bush could be a warmonger but he fighting war for oil not
for promoting Papal interests. Catholic Neo-Conservatives condemn George Bush’s
Protestant fanaticism. Religious Right Conservatives condemn George Bush’s
naked thirst for Oil colonialism.
American
Neo-conservatism split up into two hostile camps of Catholic neo-conservatism
and Protestant neo-conservatism as well as between religious neo-conservatism
and oil colonialism neo-conservatism. Protestant neo-conservatism joined forces
with pro-segregation and pro-oil colonialism and anti-terrorism rhetoric.
Catholic neo-conservatism joined forces with religious neo-conservatism,
anti-segregation forces, and anti-war neo-conservatism. The neo-conservatism
took birth in the aftermath of the 1964 Bill of Rights and got split into two
warring camps, Protestant neo-conservatism favors war on Islamic terrorism to
foster American oil colonialism in the oil-producing Muslim world, and
president Bush is its cheer leader.
Christian
neo-conservatism opposed the protestant war on Islamic terrorism and opposed
America’s war to establish oil colonies in the Islam world, because oil
colonialism threatens the alliance of Monotheism between fundamentalist Vatican
and fundamentalist Mecca, and Pope John Paul II is its leader. United States
promoted Mecca and Wahhabi fundamentalism to secure independence of Arab oil
producing nations from Ottoman Empire and to secure American colonial control
over Arab oil fields in exchange for Wahhabi control over Mecca and Medina.
America and Britain promoted Hashemite Kingdoms in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and
Iraq to secure control over Arab oil fields.
Pope John
Paul secured Catholic-Wahhabi alliance to force African pagans choose one of
the Monotheist religions, either Sunni Islam or Catholicism. Protestant
President Bush’s war on Islamic terrorism to establish American oil colonies in
the Islamic world would derail the Vatican-Mecca Axis for proselytizing pagan
world. The Big Oil-Mecca Axis for Oil Colonialism unwittingly entered into a
mortal combat with Vatican-Mecca Axis of Fundamentalism for Monotheism. Pope John
Paul II has galvanized the vast resources of Roman Catholic Church to undermine
the power of America, American Oil Colonialism and President Bush. The
multi-state Alliance of Vatican, France, Belgium, Germany and Italy could
succeed in removing President Bush from the Oval Office in 2004 elections.
Indians like Bush primarily because he waged war for oil not for Christianity.
President Bush would be a danger to the world, if he attempted to
promote the fundamentalist God’s designs on the world by war. President Bush
would be a Savior of the world if wanted to control and conquer the world by
establishing American oil colonies in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE.
American is a danger to France, Germany, Russia, China and Belgium not because
he is an American Christian fundamentalist at war in the name of God, but
because Bush is a ruthless imperialist waging wars of oil colonialism world
wide to establish American oil colonies throughout the oil-producing world.
American under Bush Oil Administration is not at war in Iraq in
the name of God, but a sly imperialist that camouflaged his capitalist colonial
interests in the name of god and war on terrorism. George W. Bush the 43rd
president is neither a nuts nor a religious fanatic, he is simply a oil colonialist
that camouflaged its imperial oil colonialism under the garb of religious
fundamentalism, just as the Belgium colonists camouflaged their ruthless
exploitation of Congo under the banner of spread of Christian Civilization.
The God that George Bush worships is the god of Oil not the God
mentioned in the minds of religious fanatics. George W. Bush purposely
cultivated the image of the non-academician blunt Texan to win the votes of
those common folk that normally would resent the privileged born with the
silver spoon in the mouth. George W. Bush the 43rd President as well as his
father George Bush the 41st President never belonged to Christian religious
right conservative conspiracy, unlike President Bill Clinton, President Jimmy
Carter and President Ronald Reagan. President Bush acting the role of a
religious fanatic just to win over the votes of the religious right
conservatives. George W. Bush personally experienced the vicious mauling his
father President Bush suffered during his campaign for the second term
presidency, and the harm done to the presidential campaign of Bob Dole in 1996.
French as well as Germans here pretty much think George W. Bush is
nuts, and his religiosity is seen as evidence of that. People in Western
Europe, especially Germany, France and Belgium are afraid of President Bush.
The polls declaring that Europeans think we are a greater threat to world peace
than Saddam Hussein reflect real attitudes and certain logic: Saddam may be a
monster, but he is a threat only to those in and around Iraq. What the
Americans think and do touches every person on the planet. That's part of being
the world's only superpower. It is a bit startling to hear old friends talk
with feeling about the danger from America. History has shown that priests of
various kinds are a great deal more dangerous than cowboys. It is much more
intense than the suspicion of President Reagan when I lived here in the 1980s.
Although his rather fundamental religious beliefs were not that different from
those of George
French and Germans would be foolish if they believe that America’s
colonial occupation of Iraq is the war waged by Protestant fundamentalist in
the name of God. The God thing" is the latest European attempt to figure
out why the Americans are so eager to go to war in Iraq. It has, for the
moment, replaced "the Israel thing" as people on both sides of the
English Channel, or at least political commentators, watch us marching as to
war. Kiosks in France dominated by photographs of Bush at prayer. Le Point's cover
line is "La Guerre Sainte de Bush." On the music magazine Les
Inrockuptibles, it's "Amerique integriste en guerre au nom de Dieu,"
("The American fundamentalist at war in the name of God."). Bush,
Reagan rarely made a big deal of his godliness, and he was seen as being less
religious than his born-again predecessor, Jimmy Carter.
In fact, though Europeans, governments and people alike, disagreed
with Reagan about many things, he offered what is really wanted here: strong
and predictable American leadership. President Bush is not seen as offering
either of those things, namely strong and predictable American leadership.
Europeans fear that American leadership has become unpredictable because of the
religious beliefs.
American and British colonial occupation of oil-rich Iraq would
herald the new age of colonial empires in the world in 21st Century and many
more oil-producing countries would lose their independence and sovereignty in
next few decades. America and Britain have waged wars of Oil colonialism and
intend to establish permanent oil colonies in Iraq. America and Britain hope to
rape Iraq and loot billions of dollars of oil for decades to come.
Indians would be happy if Indians could regain a foothold in Iraq
as the invader from Basra had looted the Somnath Temple at the start of the 2nd
Millennium and it started the foothold of the Mughal Empire in India. It is
surprising that only Britain openly supported the American invasions of Iraq.
Britain hoped to regain its past colonial role in Iraq. Iraq and Kuwait and
Iran had been the British Oil colony after the First World War, and these
territories were managed and controlled by the troops of the Indian Empire.
British Prime Minister during Afghan war gave a clarion call to
recreate Colonial Empires. United States realized that blunt Yankee diplomacy
would need the finesse of the British diplomats to divide and rule Iraq to keep
Iraq under American colonial occupation. British troops maintained their bases
in Iraq as late as 1958. Unlike their U.S. counterparts, the British would be
returning to a country where they have a long and bloody past. British troops
fought a tough campaign in Iraq against the ruling Ottoman Turks during World
War I. As an occupying force with a mandate from the League of Nations, British
soldiers then battled an extensive rebellion by Iraqi nationalists in 1920.
Some British troops were still garrisoned in Iraq in 1958, when a bloody coup
overthrew the British-installed Hashemite monarchy. Almost 45 years after the
British were forced out of Iraq, they are preparing to return. Now in 2003, the
British military assembling in northern Kuwait has been assigned to take the
lead in occupying southern Iraq, including Basra and the rich southern oil
fields, while the U.S. military pushes on toward Baghdad. British commanders
have studied the British colonial history in Iraq and prepared to face the
political and bureaucratic challenges of an occupation. As the United States
and Britain fine-tune their war plans, they debated what sort of approach to
take in southern Iraq. British commanders advocate a harsh initial strike
against Iraq that would set an example and encourage surrenders. Some British
commanders want to focus on winning the goodwill of the Iraqi population,
especially Arab Shiites and Sunni Kurds to keep Iraq under colonial occupation.
Hashemite King Faisal II was murdered in 1958, by military uprising while
British troops were still garrisoned in Iraq in 1958. British troops will focus
on southern Iraq, since they do not yet have supply lines to make it possible
to move farther north. American war plans call for British ground troops to
enter the country alongside the U.S. 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, then drop
off to oversee Basra and the surrounding area, which includes Iraq's principal
port, Umm Qasr and the Rumaila oil field, which represents 60 percent of Iraq's
oil capacity.
France and Germany should realize that President Bush waging war
of oil colonialism in Iraq. France and Germany is simply anti-religious. Much
of "Old Europe," as Donald Rumsfeld has defined America’s allies of
the past half-century, is simply anti-religious. That is not surprising after
centuries of religious hatred, oppression and warfare over which face of God to
worship. "I hate religion" is a routine second line of conversations
here. Germans and French equate the Catholic fundamentalism and Evangelical
fundamentalism with Islamic fundamentalism. There is regular and serious
comparison around here of the destructive fervor of fundamentalist Muslims and
Christians. The round of Bush-as-fanatic-Christian stories have replaced
European columns reporting that much of Bush's recent rhetoric particularly the
line, "We will stay as long as necessary, and not one day more" is
word-for-word lifts of Gen. Ariel Sharon's statements when Israel invaded
Lebanon. After their first invasion of Lebanon in 1978, the Israelis stayed
there for almost 22 years, and not one day more and got nothing but grief for
it. "What's the difference between Catholic and Evangelical fundamentalism
and Islamic fundamentalism? The answer to that question is that the United
States has laws and traditions that separate Church and State, which President
Bush has sought to undermine by allowing Church recipient of Federal funding to
use that funding for building the place of worship if part of that facility is
also used for charitable purpose. Catholic and Evangelical fundamentalism no
better that Islamic fundamentalism in the eyes of French and Germans. But
success is its own reward. Europe, old and new, will fall in line, and stand in
line for their share of desert oil, if the United States runs Saddam out of
town and somehow maintains control of the Middle East. But that is not an easy
thing to do. It could be that President Chirac just pretending to oppose
President, while Germany and France would be first in the queue to rape Iraqi
oil after the NATO conquest of Iraq. Scramble for oil not the scramble for
propagating their Gods would determine the diplomacy of NATO nations after the
success or failure of the America’s invasion of Iraq. If America failed to
occupy Iraq then France, Germany, and Russia would control the oil of Iraq,
Libya and Algeria. The god that all seek in Iraq is the god of oil and gas.
George W. Bush is a naked oil imperialist seeking to establish American oil
colonial empire and to call him Christian religious right conservative would be
to exonerate his greed for oil colonialism and his insatiable appetite for oil
and gas incomes.
30(16) Bush’s Iraqi Oil
Colony
(1) Oil is God For Bush
Cheney Halliburton
Oil is the God for Bush Oil Administration, President Bush, Vice
President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. President Bush
didn’t invade Iraq to promote Christianity, though he might promote Wahhabi
Sunni fundamentalism in Iraq to bring Iraq under the control of Mecca
Caliphate, as Wahhabi clergy and House of Al Saud historically accepted
American control over Arab oil resources in exchange for Wahhabi rule over
Mecca and House of Al Saud rule over Saudi Arabia. President George Bush
invaded Iraq in March 2003 to establish direct American oil colony over Iraq,
having the world’s second largest proven oil reserves to weaken the stronghold
of OPEC. It is very likely that American would invade Saudi Arabia to establish
direct American oil colony over Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE. American Big Oil
should pay no more than 42 per barrel to the Iraqis, Saudis and Kuwaitis and
Emirates for extracting oil and American Big Oil should keep the profits.
Britain has a right to establish colonial rule over Iraq, as Iraq had been a
British colony and part of the Indian Empire after the demise of the Ottoman
Empire. Indian Empire installed King Faisal I as the puppet ruler of Iraq, in
exchange for British & Indian Empire’s control over Iraqi economic,
military and foreign affairs. American had established King Abdul Aziz as king
of Saudi Arabia in exchange for American control over Saudi Arabian military,
foreign, oil and economic affairs. Iraq holds more than 112 billion barrels of
oil - the world's second largest proven reserves. Iraq also contains 110
trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and is a focal point for regional and
international security issues.
President Bill Clinton refused to support the son-in-laws of
Saddam Hussein even when they openly sought American help to overthrow the
regime of Saddam Hussein, because Pentagon wanted to establish direct colonial
rule over Iraq. President Ronald Reagan incited Saddam Hussein to attack Iran,
to weaken Iran as well as Iraq. President Reagan gave chemical weapon
technology to Iraq to neutralize the military superiority of Iran over Iraq.
President George W. Bush (2001- ) launched American invasions of Iraq in 2003,
to preempt France, German, Russian, and Chinese companies that had signed
lucrative oil and gas exploration and production contracts with Saddam Hussein.
The world public opinion increasingly demanded that the post 1991 UN imposed
economic sanctions on Iraq be lifted, which would have allowed French, German,
Belgium, Russian and Chinese Oil companies dominate the lucrative Iraqi oil
industry in the first part of the 21st Century, to the great disadvantage of
America. President George H.W. Bush (1989-1993) during 1991 Gulf War I
purposely destroyed the Iraq’s oil industry infrastructure, to undermine the
Baghdad’s challenge to the OPEC leadership of Saudi Arabia. President Bill
Clinton systematically opposed the modernization of Iraqi oil and gas fields,
oil and gas pipelines, oil refineries and electric power plants to bleed Iraq,
so that it may be conquered by American troops.
(2) Iraq is Oil Super
Power
Britain used the concept of Religion as the basis of state to
carve out Israel, Saudi Arabia and Iraq out of Ottoman Empire and Pakistan out
of Indian Empire. Britain created Iraq, the artificial state carved out to
protect British oil interests. To understand the motives of United States in
Iraq it is essential to understand the role Oil played in Iraqi economy and
life. The Iraq’s Head of Government was Saddam Hussein al-Takriti and its
Deputy Prime Minister was Tariq 'Aziz. Iraq became Independent on October 3,
1932, when King Faisal I became the Puppet King and British Empire and Indian
Empire controlled the economic, military and foreign affairs of Iraq. The
population of Iraq (2002E) is 23 million and Iraq has landmass of 168,709

religious groups are 97% Muslim (Shi'a 60-65%, Sunni 32-37%), Christian or
other (3%), and Arab Sunnis represent only 15 % of the population, but Arab
Sunnis have controlled the political power in Iraq. Saddam Hussein’s Defense
forces (2001E) had Army (375,000); Air Force (30,000); Navy (2,000). Iraq had
2,200 main battle tanks and over 300 combat aircraft of which as few as 100 may
be serviceable; Paramilitary Forces of 42,000-44,000, included Security Troops,

(3) Iraq Iran War
(1980-1988)
The Iraq Iran War (1980-1988) and 1990 Iraq-Kuwait War and 1991
Gulf War I, represented classic American replay of British Divide and Rule
Diplomacy, and were well orchestrated part of the American strategy to weaken
Iran and to scare Kuwait and Saudi Arabia into the protective custody of the
United States. United States encouraged Saddam Hussein to attack Iran. United states
gave Iraq biological agents to wage biological war on Iran. On September 23,
1980, the Iran-Iraq War begins, with mutual bombing of installations. On August
20, 1988, following Iran's acceptance on July 18 of U.N. Security Council
Resolution 598, which calls for a ceasefire, the Iran-Iraq War officially ends.
On September 17, 1980, in the aftermath of the 1979 Iranian Revolution and
overthrow of the Shah, Iraq broke its 1975 treaty with Iran and proclaims
sovereignty over the Shatt al-Arab waterway. On September 23, 1980 the
Iran-Iraq War began, with mutual bombing of installations, including the Abadan
refinery, and an Iraqi ground offensive. On November 10, 1980 Iraq captured the
Iranian port of Khorramshahr. On November 23, 1980, after seizing over 4,000
square miles of Iranian territory, Iraq suffered its first minor military
setback since the war's outbreak. On January 1981 Iraq beat back Iran's first
major counteroffensive. On June 8, 1981 Israel bombed the Iraqi Osirak nuclear
reactor. On September 27-28, 1981 Iran relieved its besieged port city of
Abadan. On November 29, 1981 Iran launched a major offensive on the central
front with Iraq. On March 1982, in a show of support for Iran, Syria closed
Iraq's 400,000-barrels-per-day trans-Syrian oil export pipeline. On March
22-24, 1982 Iran launched an offensive in the Dezful region; recaptured
Khorramshahr. On June 1982 Iran demanded $150 billion in reparations from Iraq,
and pledged that the war will continue until Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq since
1979, stood trial. On June 10, 1982 Iraq declared a unilateral cease-fire in
its war with Iran. On July 13, 1982 Iran launched its first attack into Iraq.
On November 1, 1982 Iran attacked Dezful.
On April 1983 Iraq increased missile attacks on Iran. On July 20-30,
1983 Iranian troops moved into northern Iraq. On July 26, 1983 the United
States warned of action to preserve navigation in the Persian Gulf. On October
1983 Iran attacked northern Iraq, threatened Kirkuk pipeline. On November 1983
Iran threatened to block the Straits of Hormuz, while Iraq threatened to attack
Kharg Island, Iran's main oil export terminal. Saudi Arabia chartered 11 VLCC's
(very large crude carriers) to store oil off the coast of the United Arab
Emirates. On February 1984 Iran opened a "massive" offensive against
Iraq. The U.S. Navy stood by to keep the Straits of Hormuz open. On
February-March 1984 Iran captured Iraq's oil-rich Majnoon Islands; Iraq ordered
use of chemical weapons. On March 27, 1984 "Tanker war" began with
Iraqi attacks on shipping near the Iranian coast. In coming months, many
tankers were attacked by both Iran and Iraq, war risk insurance premiums for
tankers soar, and oil tanker traffic in the Gulf (particularly to Iran's Kharg
Island terminal) was reduced. During May-June 1985, the "Battle of the
Cities" began, involving heavy bombing and missile attacks on Iranian and
Iraqi cities. On August 15, 1985 Iraq attacked Iran's Nowruz oil field, and
launched its first air raid on Kharg Island, Iran's main oil export terminal.
Through November, Iraq attacked Kharg Island 44 times in an attempt to destroy
the facility. Kuwait put its Armed forces on alert. On February 9, 1986 Iran
crossed the Shatt al-Arab and captured the southern Faw Peninsula. Saddam
Hussein vowed to repulse Iran "at all costs." On February 20, 1986
Iraqi jets shot down an Iranian passenger plane, killing Iranian religious and
political leaders. On May 7, 1986 Iraq bombed Tehran refinery. On July 27, 1986
Iraq bombed the central Iranian city of Arak; Iran threatened missile attacks
on Arab Gulf states supporting Iraq. On August 2, 1986, in an open letter to
Iran, Saddam Hussein offered peace. On August 12, 1986 Iran fired a missile at
Iraq's Dawrah oil refinery, located near Baghdad. Iraq attacked five tankers at
Iran's Sirri Island terminal, seriously disrupting Iranian oil exports.
America got involved in the Iraq-Iran War when it took its toll on
oil-shipments in Arabian Gulf and threatened the exports of Kuwaiti Oil. On May
17, 1987, the USS Stark was damaged in an Iraqi missile attack that killed 37
crewmembers. Iraq apologized and said that the attack was a mistake. Shortly
thereafter, the United States began military escorts of Kuwaiti tankers that
had been "reflagged" as American, with US crews. On September 21,
1987 Iraq signed a contract for a $1.5-billion oil pipeline through Saudi
Arabia to the Red Sea port of Yanbu. On September 22, 1987, the US forces
attack an Iranian mine-laying vessel in the Persian Gulf. On October 19, 1987,
in retaliation for Iran's attack on the "reflagged" tanker, Sea Isle
City, US forces destroyed an Iran's Rostam oil platform. On March 16, 1988
Saddam Hussein used nerve gas to attack Kurds. In the northern Iraq town of
Halabja, nearly 5,000 men, women and children were killed. On April 29, 1988
the United States announced protection for all shipping in the Persian Gulf.
During April-August 1988 Iraq achieved a series of military victories over
Iran, including recapturing the Faw peninsula and the Majnoon Islands, plus a
major northern offensive into Iran, which captured huge amounts of artillery
and armor. On August 20, 1988 following Iran's acceptance on July 18 of UN
Security Council Resolution 598, which called for a ceasefire, the Iran-Iraq
War officially ended.
(4) Iraqi Oil-for-Food
Program
United States exploited the greed of the United Nations
bureaucracy by letting them earn a piece of the action in the Oil-for-food
program, which became a very large business enterprise. While Iraq no longer
could buy military hardware under “Oil-for-Food” programs, and post-1991 UN
sponsored economic sanctions weakened Iraq, President Bush prepared for the
invasion of Iraq, right after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. During the 1980s and
1990s, Iraq experienced two major wars Iran-Iraq War (1980-19088 and the 1990
Iraqi-Kuwait War, and 1991 Iraq-America Gulf War I, and suffered from 1991
onwards UN economic sanctions. As a result, the country's economy,
infrastructure, and society deteriorated significantly, which made Iraq weak
and vulnerable to defeat by American attacks. On May 14, 2002, the U.N.
Security Council approved a change in the "Oil-for-food" program for
Iraq that made use of an extensive list of "dual-use" goods, the
goods that could have a military as well as civilian use. Under the
modification, Iraq was allowed to use its oil revenues, which go into a UN
escrow account out of which suppliers exporting products to Baghdad are paid,
in order to purchase items not on the list of dual use goods. After May 2002, Iraq
could not use the Oil-for-Food program for buying any good that could have a
military use. On October 16, 2002, President Bush signed a resolution by the
U.S. Congress authorizing him to use force against Iraq if necessary. On
November 8, 2002, the U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution
1441, demanding that Iraq give U.N. inspectors the unconditional right to
search anywhere in Iraq for banned weapons. Iraq was also required to make an
"accurate full and complete" declaration of its nuclear, chemical,
biological and ballistic weapons and related materials used in civilian
industries within 30 days. The resolution required violations to be reported
back to the Security Council by inspectors before any actions could be taken
against Iraq for violating weapons bans.
(5) Iraq War is For Oil
Reserves
President Bush invaded Iraq because America need to control the
112 billion barrel oil reserves of Iraq. Iraq contains 112 billion barrels of
proven oil reserves, the second largest in the world behind Saudi Arabia.
Iraq's true resource potential may be far greater than this, however, as Iraq
is largely (90% or so) unexplored due to years of war and sanctions. Deep
oil-bearing formations located mainly in the vast Western Desert region, for
instance, could yield large additional oil resources for Iraq possibly another
100 billion barrels, but have not been explored. Iraq's oil production costs
are amongst the lowest in the world, making it a highly attractive oil
prospect. However, only 15 of 73 discovered fields have been developed, while
few deep wells have been drilled compared to Iraq's neighbors, Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait and UAE. In Iraq only 2,000 wells reportedly have been drilled in Iraq
of which about 1,500-1,700 are actually producing oil, compared to around 1
million wells have been in Texas USA. Iraq generally did not have access to the
latest, state-of-the-art oil industry technology (i.e., 3D seismic), sufficient
spare parts, and investment in general throughout most of the 1990s, but has
instead reportedly been utilizing questionable engineering techniques (i.e.,
over-pumping, water injection/"flooding") and old technology to
maintain oil production levels. Iraqi oil reserves vary widely in quality, with
API gravities in the 22o to 35o range. Iraq's main export crude come from the
country's two largest active fields: Rumaila and Kirkuk. The southern Rumaila
field, which extends a short distance into Kuwaiti territory, has around 663
wells and produces three streams: Basra Regular; Basra Medium (normally 30o
API, 2.6% sulfur); and Basra Heavy (normally 22o-24o API, 3.4% sulfur). Basra
Blend normally averages around 32o API, 1.95% sulfur, but reportedly is worse
currently at around 29-30o API and 2%+ sulfur content. The northern Kirkuk
field, first discovered in 1927, has around 337 wells and normally produces 35o
API, 1.97% sulfur crude, although the API gravity and sulfur content both are
reported to have deteriorated sharply in recent months. Kirkuk's gravity, for
instance, has declined to around 32-33o API, while sulfur content has risen
above 2%. Declining crude oil qualities and an increased "water cut"
as well could be the result of over-pumping as Iraq attempts to sell as much
oil as possible. An additional export crude, known as "FAO Blend," is
heavier and more sour with a 27o API and 2.9% Sulfur.
(6) War for Increasing
Iraqi Oil Production
American realized that time has come to increase the oil
production capacity of Iraq, but it has to be done without involving France,
Germany, Russia and China. Given a choice Saddam Hussein would not award
lucrative oil contracts to American companies.
America attacked Iraq to increase Iraqi oil output. American Big
Oil encouraged President Bush to invade Iraq, so that American Oil colonialism
could undertake remedial measures to increase oil production of Iraq. After
1990 Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and the 1991 UN economic embargo on Iraqi oil
exports, Iraqi oil production fell to around 300,000 barrels per day (bbl/d),
from 3.5 million bbl/d in July 1990. For the first 11 months of 2002, Iraqi
crude oil production averaged 2.02 million bbl/d, down from about 2.45 million
bbl/d in 2001 and 2.69 million bbl/d in 2000, with large weekly and monthly
fluctuations. Iraqi monthly oil output was lowest in April 2002, at 1.2 million
bbl/d, and highest in February 2002, at 2.5 million bbl/d. Iraqi had hoped to
increase the country's oil production capacity to 3.5 million bbl/d by the end
of 2000, but did not accomplish this given technical problems with Iraqi oil fields,
pipelines, and other oil infrastructure. Iraq claimed that oil production
capacity expansion was constrained by refusal of the United Nations to provide
Iraq with all the oil industry equipment it had requested. Oil industry
assessed Iraq's sustainable production capacity at no higher than about 2.8-2.9
million bbl/d, with net export potential of around 2.3-2.5 million bbl/d
including smuggled oil through Turkey. In comparison, Iraq produced 3.5 million
bbl/d in July 1990. Iraq faced challenges in maintaining, let alone increasing,
oil production capacity. Iraq battled with "water cut" damaging
intrusion of water into oil reservoirs especially in the Iraq’s southern oil
fields. Iraq was able to increase its oil production through use of short-term
techniques not generally considered acceptable in the oil industry i.e., water
flooding, injection of refined oil products into crude reservoirs. Iraqi oil
production capacity was expected to fall sharply if Saddam Hussein regime had
continued, because he didn’t want to address the technical and infrastructure
problems associated with Iraqi oil production. Approximately 2 million bbl/d of
Iraq's production capacity came from oil fields in the southern part of the
country, particularly North and South Rumaylah (1.3 million bbl/d), West Qurnah
(225,000 bbl/d), Az Zubair (220,000 bbl/d), Majnoon (50,000 bbl/d), Jabal Fauqi
(50,000 bbl/d), Abu Ghurab (40,000 bbl/d), Buzurgan (40,000 bbl/d) and Luhais
(30,000 bbl/d). Iraq's remaining oil production capacity is located in the
northern and central fields of Kirkuk (720,000 bbl/d), Bai Hassan (100,000
bbl/d), Jambur (50,000 bbl/d), Khabbaz (40,000 bbl/d), Saddam (30,000 bbl/d),
East Baghdad (20,000 bbl/d), and 'Ayn Zalah (10,000 bbl/d).
(7) Iraqi Oil-for-Food
Oil Exports
UN sponsored Iraqi Oil-for-Food program is the multi-billion
dollar business. About three-fourths (75%) of the proceeds from Iraqi
"oil-for-food" sales were used to purchase humanitarian goods for
Iraq, while 25% are earmarked for reparations to Gulf War victims, pipeline
transit fees for Turkey, and funding for U.N. weapons monitoring activities.
Turkey claimed that the UN embargo on Iraq cost Turkey more than $35 billion
since 1990. U.N. Resolution 986 (April 1995) allows Iraq to sell specified dollar
amounts of crude oil over six-month periods, in part for the purchase of
humanitarian supplies ("oil-for-food") for distribution in Iraq under
U.N. supervision. Under the Phase XII renewal, which ended November 25, 2002,
the U.N. Security Council made use of an extensive list of "dual-use"
items (goods that could have military as well as civilian use). Iraq was
allowed to make use of "oil-for-food" revenues to purchase items not
on the list. The current 6-month phase (Phase XIII) began on December 4, 2002 after
a two-week delay over the goods review list issue. Official
"oil-for-food" exports from Iraq were about 1.55 million bbl/d in
December 2002 and 1.79 million bbl/d in January 2003. During 2001, Iraq
averaged official U.N. monitored net oil exports of around 2 million bbl/d,
although this number fluctuated greatly through the year, and fell sharply
during the first part of 2002 to under 1.5 million bbl/d during the first 9
months of the year. The Iraqi oil exports in 2002 declined due to Iraq's unilateral
one-month embargo of oil exports in April 2002 in support of the Palestinians.
United States clamped down on Iraq's practice of charging an illegal
"surcharge" on their U.N. -authorized oil exports. Increased Iraqi
oil exports to the America during 2002 helped fill the loss created by a major
oil strike and general unrest in Venezuela beginning in December 2002. In
addition to U.N.-sanctioned oil exports to Jordan, which are currently carried
by truck plans for a 150,000-bbl/d pipeline to Jordan's Zarqa oil refinery
approved by Jordan's cabinet in December 2001, and Jordan received more than 30
offers from firms interested in building the Iraq-Zarqa oil pipeline with
possible completion in 2004. Since mid-December 2002, Iraq increased its oil
production and oil exports sharply, with production reportedly reached 2.6
million bbl/d bbl/d Iraqi "Oil-for-Food" exports at 1.8 million
bbl/d, and illegal Iraqi oil exports at around 400,000 bbl/d. American
supported the UN Iraqi Oil-for-Food Program because it helped fill the supply
shortages caused by the Venezuelan strikes.
(8) USA Opposed Oil
Industry Modernization
America opposed the modernization of Iraqi oil fields, because
Iraq could become more powerful by smuggling larger quantities of oil through
its neighbors. Iraq wanted to modernize Iraqi oil fields so that it could earn
extra incomes by smuggling larger quantities of oil through Turkey, Syria,
Jordan, Iran and Dubai, and German, French, Belgium, Russian and Chinese oil
companies were ready to invest in Saddam’s Iraqi oil industry. Iraq smuggled
oil to Turkey (100,000 bbl/d), Jordan
(10,000 bbl/d), Syria (150,000 bbl/d), Iran and Dubai, earning about $2 billion
per year. Iraq earned around $30 per barrel by pricing its oil in Euro instead
of dollars. Iraq has reportedly smuggled 200,000-400,000 bbl/d of crude oil and
products via a number of routes, that included oil smuggled to Turkey as high
as 100,000-150,000 bbl/d, mainly of fuel oil by truck through the Habur border
point, and this smuggling was stopped from September 18, 2001 through January
7, 2002. Iraq smuggled oil to Jordan possibly 10,000-30,000 bbl/d above
domestic needs by truck. Iraq smuggled oil to Syria 150,000-200,000 bbl/d or
more, mainly via the Kirkuk-Banias pipeline, with smaller volumes possibly
moving via a railway line from Mosul to Aleppo. Iraq smuggled oil to Iran along
the Gulf coast and via Qais Island. Iraq smuggled oil to Dubai with the use of
small tankers sailing from Umm Qasr. These illegal shipments provided Iraq with
as much as $600 million-$2 billion per year in illegal revenues. The US General
Accounting Office study May 2002 estimated that Iraq had earned $6.6 billion
from oil smuggling and illegal surcharges from 1997 through 2001.
United States exploited the UN’s Iraqi Oil for Food Program
allowed American Big Oil control Iraqi oil trade to establish American
domination of oil markets. During the first eleven months of 2002, the United
States imported an average of 449,000 bbl/d from Iraq. In January 2003, approximately
1.2 million bbl/d of Iraqi oil went to the Americas, up from 910,000 bbl/d in
December 2002 and 515,000 bbl/d in November, while 430,000 bbl/d went to Europe
and 140,000 bbl/d to Asia. Britain and United States were very concerned when
Iraq priced its oil in Euro not in US Dollars, which caused great fluctuations
in the foreign currencies. In late October 2001, the U.N. Sanctions Committee
imposed a so-called "retroactive pricing" mechanism proposed by the
UK and supported by the United States to alter the way in which Iraqi oil
prices are set. The United States and the UK were concerned that Iraq was using
oil price fluctuations to impose a de facto surcharge on oil purchasers, and
that this money was going directly to the Iraqi government outside of UN
control. This was also part of a continuing effort by the United States, the
UK, and others to stop Iraq from forcing buyers to pay a $0.30-$0.60 per barrel
surcharge, paid directly to the Iraqi government. United States earned around
$500 billion a year because the world price of Oil is priced in US dollars not
in Euro.
(9) America Damaged
Southern Iraqi Fields
President George H. W. Bush during 1991 Gulf War I destroyed
southern Iraqi fields, to increase the OPEC market share of Saudi Arabia and to
allow Kuwait extract more oil in the oil fields nearer to the Iraqi border. The
1991 Gulf War I decimated Iraq's southern oil industry, with oil production
capacity falling to 75,000 bbl/d in mid-1991. United States had systematically
opposed the repair of the Iraqi oil wells to weaken the economic bas of Iraq.
On March 2000, UN Security Council agreed to double the spending cap for oil
sector spare parts and equipment under Resolution 1175 of June 20, 1998,
allowed Iraq to spend up to $600 million every 6 months repairing oil
facilities. United Nations had warned of a possible "major breakdown"
in Iraq's oil industry if spare parts and equipment were not forthcoming. The
delays by the United Nations in approving contracts to upgrade Iraq's oil sector
threatened Iraqi oil production levels. The United States imposed its view that
only $300 million should be used for short-term improvements to the Iraqi oil
industry, and not to make long-term repairs. Iraq's oil sector distribution
plan for the "oil-for-food" program's 12th phase reportedly included
$350 million for upstream oil industry repairs contracts, including development
work on the Hamrin, Suba, and West Qurna oil fields. The United States
maintains unilateral economic sanctions against Iraq. The US Executive Order
dated August 2, 1990 and 9/9/1990 imposed complete trade embargo on Iraq, which
obliged that goods or services cannot be imported from or exported to Iraq,
with the exception of the U.N. "oil-for-food" program. The largest
producing oil field in this region is Rumaila. The Gulf War I resulted in
destruction of gathering centers and compression/degassing stations at Rumaila,
storage facilities, the 1.6-million bbl/d capacity Mina al-Bakr export
terminal, and pumping stations along the 1.4-million bbl/d capacity Iraqi
Strategic North-South Pipeline. Seven other sizable Iraqi fields remained
damaged or partially mothballed, which included Zubair, Luhais, Suba, Buzurgan,
Abu Ghirab, and Fauqi oil fields. Iraqi oilfield development plans have been on
hold since 1990 Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, while Iraq focused on maintaining
production at existing fields. The Kirkuk field, with over 10 billion barrels
in remaining proven oil reserves, forms the basis for northern Iraqi oil
production. Oil fields at Bai Hassan, Jambur, Khabbaz, Saddam, and Ain
Zalah-Butmah-Safaia currently produced oil in northern Iraq. During 1990 Gulf
War I around 60% of Northern Oil Company's (NOC) facilities in northern and
central Iraq were damaged due to American bombings. The 2001 output of all
northern fields at Kirkuk, Bai Hassan, Jambur, Khabbaz, Saddam, Safiya, and
'Ain Zalah/Butnah totaled 1 million bbl/d. Iraqi oil field came on line at
11-billion barrel East Baghdad field facility in April 1989. This centrally
located field currently produces 50,000 bl/d of heavy, 23o API oil as well as
30 million cubic feet per day (Mmcf/d) of associated natural gas.
American Big Oil desperately wanted President Bush to invade Iraq
in the start of 2003 as they realized that it became common knowledge that Iraq
needed foreign capital desperately to modernize Iraqi oil industry and embark
on oil exploration and drilling projects. By the end of 2002 it became clear
that Iraq's oil sector infrastructure is in bad shape at the moment, being held
together by "band-aids," and with a production decline rate of
100,000 bbl/d per year. The production decline rate of Iraq threatened energy
supplies to United States, faced with the oil-industry strikes in Venezuela.
American Big Oil realized that increasing Iraqi oil production would require
"massive repairs and reconstruction costing several billions of dollars
and taking months if not years. American oil companies would not risk investing
in Iraq unless America established direct American oil colony over Iraq.
American oil colonialism realized that the costs of repairing existing Iraqi
oil export installations alone would be around $5 billion, while restoring
Iraqi oil production to pre-1990 levels would cost an additional $5 billion,
plus $3 billion per year in annual operating costs.
American oil companies feared that the reluctance of American oil
companies to invest in Iraqi oil industry would give godsend opportunity to
French, German, Belgium and Russian oil companies to win lucrative contracts and
thus control the future Iraqi oil supplies. Since United States would not lift
the trade embargo imposed on Iraq, only by establishing direct American rule
over Iraq, could American companies feel confident in investing in Iraq, only
then could the foreign capital, outside funds and large-scale investment by
American oil companies be invested in Iraqi oil industry, without throwing the
Iraqi oil reserves to French, German and Russian oil colonialism. American
occupation of Iraq would nullify the lucrative oil contracts Saddam Hussein
signed with Russian, French, Indian and German companies so that existing Iraqi
oil contracts could be clarified and resolved in order to rebuild Iraq's oil
industry, so that unforeseen prolonged legal conflicts over conflicting Iraqi
oil contracts might not delay the development of important oil and gas fields
in Iraq. American oil colonialism would be good for Iraq as any "sudden or
prolonged shutdown" of Iraq's oil industry could result in long-term
reservoir damage. American Big Oil wanted to American troops to move very fast
before the Iraq's oil facilities damaged during any domestic unrest or American
military operations in early February 2003. Given all this, a
"bonanza" of oil is not expected in the near future, unless American
colonial administration could overthrow the Saddam regime and established
puppet regime in Iraq that accepted American control over Iraq’s economic,
military and foreign policies.
American BigOil realized that unless President Bush invaded Iraq,
Saddam Hussein might succeed in new oil exploration in Iraq’s Greenfield oil
exploration projects, and American oil companies would lose their political
leverage in Iraq. Saddam Hussein was desperate to invite non-American companies
to come to Iraq and invest in oil exploration and increase the Iraqi oil
production. Problems at Iraqi oil fields include: years of poor oil reservoir
management; corrosion problems at various oil facilities; deterioration of
water injection facilities; lack of spare parts, materials, equipment, etc.;
damage to oil storage and pumping facilities. Iraq could reach production
capacity of 4.2 million bbl/d within three years at a cost of $3.5 billion, and
4.5-6.0 million bbl/d within seven years by 2010. Saddam Hussein’s Iraq had
signed several multi-billion dollar deals with foreign oil companies mainly
from China, France, and Russia, as of October 2002, estimated at $38 billion
worth oil contracts on exploration of new oil fields “Greenfield"
development with potential production capacity of 4.7 million bbl/d if all the
deals come to fruition. Iraq became increasingly frustrated at the failure of
these companies to begin oil exploration work on their allotted exploration
blocs, and Saddam Hussein had threatened to no longer sign oil deals unless
foreign firms agreed to start the oil-exploration works without delay. Iraqi
upstream oil contracts required that oil companies to start exploration work
immediately, but UN sanctions dissuaded these foreign oil companies from
starting the oil exploration.
(10) Scramble for
Saddam’s Oil Contracts
Had UN sanctions against Iraq been lifted, France, Germany and
Russia would have dominated Iraqi oil industry. President Chirac and President
Putin opposed America’s unjustified invasions of Iraq, because France and
Russian companies had signed a large number of new oil exploration and
production contracts with Saddam Hussein. In 1992, Saddam Hussein’s Iraq
announced plans to increase its oil production capacity to over 6.3 million
bbl/d following the lifting of UN sanctions. This Saddam’s plan was to be
accomplished in three phases over a five-year period, and it needed billions of
dollars worth of foreign investment, which French, German, Belgium, Chinese and
Russian oil companies wanted to invest in Iraq. Much of the production was to
come from giant fields in the south including Halfaya, Majnoon, Bin Umar, West
Qurna oil fields, plus the Mishrif reservoir of Luhais, North and South
Rumaila, Zubair oil fields, and East Baghdad oil fields. United States had
systematically opposed the development and repair of Iraqi oil fields and the
exploration of new Iraqi Greenfield exploration fearing that French and
Russians would gain deep foothold in Iraqi oil industry and American would lose
its privileged position in Iraq.
(11) Russian Iraqi Oil
Deals
Iraq owed Russia billions of dollars for past arms deliveries.
Russian oil companies have strong interest in Iraqi oil development. Russian
oil deals included a $3.7 billion, 23-year deal to rehabilitate Iraqi
oilfields, particularly the 11-15 billion barrel West Qurna field, located west
of Basra near the Rumaila field. West Qurna is believed to have production
potential of 800,000-1 million bbl/d. The Iraqi Oil Ministry in mid-December
2002 announced that it was severing its contract with the Lukoil consortium on
West Qurna due to "failure to comply" with contract stipulations,
especially the Lukoil's failure to invest a required $200 million over three
years. Iraq left intact the two other, smaller, stakes in West Qurna oil fields
by Russian companies Zarubezhneft and Mashinoimport. Iraq and Russian companies
Soyuzneftegaz, Stroytransgas-Oil, and Tatneft signed three oil exploration and
production deals to develop the 100,000-bbl/d Rafidain field, the Western
Desert's Block 4, and the Western Desert's Block 9, respectively. Russia's
Foreign Ministry viewed the Iraqi decision on Lukoil and West Qurna "with
regret." Following a month of talks between Iraq and Russia the two sides
aimed at reversing Iraq's decision, the Iraqis announced in mid-February 2003
that its decision to cancel the Lukoil deal was finished. A joint
Russian-Belarus oil company, Slavneft, in October 2001 signed a $52 million
service contract with Iraq on the 2-billion-barrel, Suba-Luhais oil field in
southern Iraq. Full development of Suba-Luhais could result in production of
100,000 bbl/d (35o API) at a cost of $300 million over three years. As of March
2002, Slavneft reportedly was awaiting approval from the United Nations to
drill 25 wells at Luhais oil field. The Saddam field contains 3 billion barrels
of oil and 5 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of associated gas. Iraq is seeking
foreign assistance for a second-phase Saddam development, which would raise oil
production capacity to 50,000 bbl/d, as well as 300 Mmcf/d of gas. Russia's
Zarubezhneft received U.N. approval in early April 2001 to drill 45 wells in
the Saddam field, plus Kirkuk and Bai Hassan oil fields, as part of an effort
to reduce water incursion into the fields. Iraq angered by France's perceived
support for the President Bush’s "smart sanctions" plan, Iraq
announced in July 2001 that Iraq would no longer give French companies priority
in awarding oil contracts, and would reconsider existing contracts as well.
Saddam’s Iraq also announced that it was inclined to favor Russia, which had
been supporting Iraq at the UN Security Council, on awarding rights to Majnoon
and another large southern oil field, Bin Umar. As of February 2003, Russian
company Zarubezhneft reportedly was negotiating a contract to develop Bin Umar.
The status of TotalFinaElf, which had previously expressed interest in the
field, was not clear. However Franc’s TotalFinaElf was confident regarding its
Majnoon contract, regardless of the Iraqi government in power.
(12) French Iraqi Oil
Deals
The largest of Iraq's oilfields slated for post-sanctions
development is Majnoon, with reserves of 12-30 billion barrels of 28o-35o API
oil, and located 30 miles north of Basra on the Iranian border. French company
TotalFinaElf reportedly has signed a deal with Iraq on development rights for
Majnoon. Majnoon was reportedly brought on stream (under a "national
effort" program begun in 1999) in May 2002 at 50,000 bbl/d. Future
development on Majnoon ultimately could lead to production of 450,000 bbl/d
within two years or so at an estimated (according to Deutsche Bank) cost of $4
billion. Eventually, Majnoon could produce significantly more oil than that,
possibly well above 1 million bbl/d.
(13) New European Oil
Players
The 2.5-5 billion-barrel Halfaya project is the final large field
development in southern Iraq. Several companies (BHP, CNPC, Agip) reportedly
have shown interest in Halfaya, which ultimately could yield 200,000-300,000
bbl/d in output at a possible cost of $2 billion. Smaller fields with under 2
billion barrels in reserves also are receiving interest from foreign oil
companies. These fields include Nasiriya (Eni, Repsol), Tuba (ONGC, Sonatrach,
Pertamina), Ratawi (Shell, Petronas, CanOxy), Gharaf (Mashinoimport, Rosneftegasexport),
Amara (PetroVietnam), Noor (Syria), and more. Italy's Eni and Spain's Repsol
appear to be strong possibilities to develop Nassiriya.
(14) Iraqi Oil Pipelines
Iraq had Kirkuk-Ceyhan, Kirkuk-Banias, and North-South reversible
Strategic Pipelines. Iraq has 40-inch and 46-inch Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline,
Kirkus-Banias pipeline, and 1.4 a reversible, 1.4-million bbl/d "Strategic
Pipeline" built in 1975. Iraq's oil export infrastructure, pipelines,
ports, pumping stations were damaged in Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) and during as
well as Gulf War I the Operation Desert Storm (1991). The 600-mile, 40-inch
Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline is Iraq's largest operable crude export pipeline.
Iraq-Turkey oil pipeline has a fully operational capacity of 1.1 million bbl/d,
but reportedly can handle only around 900,000 bbl/d. A second, parallel 46-inch
Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil pipeline has an optimal capacity of 500,000 bbl/d and was
designed to carry Basra Regular exports, but was inoperable. Combined capacity
of the 40-inch and 46-inch Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil pipelines, the two parallel lines
is 1.5-1.6 million bbl/d. On August 20, 1998, Iraq and Syria, which reopened
their border in June 1997 after a 17-year closure, for trade and official
visits signed a memorandum of understanding for the possible reopening of the
50-year-old, rusting Banias oil pipeline from Iraq's northern Kirkuk oil fields
to Syria's Mediterranean port of Banias and Tripoli, Lebanon. As of October
2002, the pipeline reportedly was being used, and there also was talk of
building a new, parallel pipeline as a replacement. In order to optimize export
capabilities i.e., to allow oil shipments to the north or south), Iraq
constructed a reversible, 1.4-million bbl/d "Strategic Pipeline" in
1975. This pipeline consists of two parallel 700,000-bbl/d lines. The
North-South system allows for export of northern Kirkuk crude from the Persian
Gulf and for southern Rumaila crude to be shipped through Turkey. During the
Gulf War, the Strategic Pipeline was disabled after the K-3 pumping station at
Haditha as well as four additional southern pumping stations were destroyed. In
the Persian Gulf, Iraq has three tanker terminals: at Mina al-Bakr, Khor
al-Amaya, and Khor az-Zubair, which mainly handles dry goods and minimal oil
volumes. Mina al-Bakr is Iraq's largest oil terminal, with four 400,000-bbl/d
capacity berths capable of handling very large crude carriers (VLCCs). Gulf War
damage to Mina al-Bakr had been repaired in large part and the terminal
currently can handle up to 1.2-1.3 million bbl/d. A full return to Mina
al-Bakr's nameplate capacity apparently required extensive infrastructure
repairs. Mina al-Bakr was constrained by a shortage of storage and oil
processing facilities, most of which were destroyed in the Gulf War. Iraq's
Khor al-Amaya terminal was heavily damaged during the Iran-Iraq War and
completely destroyed during Operation Desert Storm in 1991 and had been out of
commission since then. As of March 2001 Iraq had largely completed repairing
two berths at Khor al-Amaya. Upon full completion of repairs, Iraq projects
Khor al-Amaya's capacity would rise to 1.2 million bbl/d, and help prevent
delays at Mina al-Bakr while repairs are conducted there.
(15) Iraqi Oil Refineries
American had purposely destroyed the Iraqi oil refineries and
created new hurdles in the repair works, fearing Iraq would become richer by
selling the refined oil products. Iraq has 10 refineries and topping units.
Iraq's refining capacity as of January 2003 was over 417,000 bbl/d, compared to
a pre-Gulf War, nameplate capacity of 700,000 bbl/d. Iraq has 10 refineries and
topping units, and the largest are the 150,000-bbl/d Baiji North, 140,000-bbl/d
(or higher) Basra, and 100,000-bbl/d Daura plants. During the 1991 Gulf War I,
Baiji North Refineries in northern Iraq as well as the oil refineries at Basra,
Daura, and Nasiriyah were severely damaged. Saddam’s Iraqi oil refineries faced
the problem of a lack of light-end products, low quality gasoline, and rising
pollution levels because of a lack of water treatment facilities. Post-sanction
plans included attracting foreign investment to perform refinery upgrades.
Saddam’s Iraq had identified dozens of such projects and Iraq wanted to build a
new $1-billion, 290,000-bbl/d "Central" Oil Refinery Plant near
Babylon.
(16) Iraqi Associated
Oil-Gas Fields
Iraq contains 110 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven natural gas
reserves, along with roughly 150 Tcf in probable reserves. About 70% of Iraq's
natural gas reserves are associated oil-gas projects i.e., natural gas produced
in conjunction with oil. About 30% of Iraq’s natural gas reserves made up of
non-associated gas (20%) and dome gas (10%). Until 1990, all of Iraq's natural
gas production was from associated fields. In 2001, Iraq produced 97 billion
cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas, down drastically from peak output levels of
700 Bcf in 1979. Iraq plans to increase its natural gas output in order to
reduce dependence on oil consumption. Within two years after the lifting of
U.N. sanctions, Saddam’s Iraq hoped to produce 550 Bcf, and within a decade,
Saddam’s Iraq’s aimed to be producing about 4.2 Tcf of natural gas annually.
Since most of Iraq's natural gas is associated with oil, progress on increasing
the country's oil output will directly affect the gas sector as well.
Associated gas often is simply flared off. Significant volumes of gas also are
used for power generation and re-injection for enhanced oil recovery efforts.
Main sources of associated natural gas are the Kirkuk, Ain Zalah, Butma, and
Bai Hassan oil fields in northern Iraq, as well as the North and South Rumaila
and Zubair fields in the south. The Southern Area Gas Project was completed in
1985, but was not brought online until February 1990. It has nine gathering
stations and a larger processing capacity of 1.5 billion cubic feet per day.
Natural gas gathered from the North and South Rumaila and Zubair fields is
carried via pipeline to a 575-Mmcf/d natural gas liquids (NGL) fractionation
plant in Zubair and a 100-Mmcf/d processing plant in Basra. At Khor al-Zubair,
a 17.5-million-cubic-foot LPG storage tank farm and loading terminals were
added to the southern gas system in 1990. Natural gas also used to be pumped
from Rumaila into northern Kuwait via a 40-inch, 105-mile pipeline. The gas was
used to supply Kuwaiti power stations and LPG plants, but was halted following
Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990.
(17) Iraqi Non-Associated
Gas Fields
Iraq's only non-associated natural gas production is from the
al-Anfal field (200 Mmcf/d of output) in northern Iraq. Al-Anfal production,
which began in May 1990, is piped to the Jambur gas processing station near the
Kirkuk field, located 20 miles away. Al-Anfal's gas resources are estimated at
4.5 Tcf, of which 1.8 Tcf is proven. In December 2001, Russia's Gazprom
negotiated possible development of al-Anfal. In November 2001, a large
non-associated natural gas field was discovered in the Akas region of western
Iraq, near the border with Syria, and containing an estimated 2.1 Tcf of
natural gas reserves. It is not clear whether or not the field is associated or
non-associated. Besides al-Anfal, Iraq has four large non-associated natural
gas fields at Chemchamal, Jaria Pika, Khashm al Ahmar, and Mansuriya located in
Kirkuk and Diyala provinces. In February 2000, Iraq's Oil Ministry named Agip
and Gaz de France as leaders on a $2.3 billion PSA (production sharing
agreement) project to develop these fields, which reportedly have total
recoverable reserves of more than 10 Tcf. Currently, Iraq has a major natural
gas pipeline with the capacity to supply around 240 MMcf/d to Baghdad from the
West Qurna field. The 48-inch line was commissioned in November 1988, with
phases II and III of the project never completed due to war and sanctions. The
last two phases of the pipeline project were meant to supply Turkey. Iraq's
Northern Gas System, which came online in 1983, was damaged during the Gulf War
as well as by the Kurdish rebellion of March 1991. The system supplied LPG to
Baghdad and other Iraqi cities, as well as dry gas and sulfur to power stations
and industrial plants. Iraq also has a Southern Gas System, which came online
in 1985.
(18) Iraqi Electric Power
Plants
America had launched war on Iraqi economic infrastructure in 1991
Gulf War I and created impediments in the repairs of the electrical generation
and power grids. Around 85%-90% of Iraq's national power grid (and 20 power
stations) was damaged or destroyed in the Gulf War. Existing generating
capacity of 9,000 megawatts (MW) in December 1990 was reduced to only 340 MW by
March 1991. In early 1991, transmission and distribution infrastructure also
was destroyed, including the 10 substations serving Baghdad and about 30% of
the country's 400-kilovolt (kV) transmission network. In early 1992, Iraq stated
that it had restarted 75% of the national grid, including the 1,320-MW Baiji
and Mosul thermal plants as well as the Saddam Dam. In 1998, Iraq's maximum
available electric generation capacity was estimated (by Iraq) at around 4,000
MW, while the U.N. Iraq Program estimated in November 2002 that generating
capacity was 4,300-4,400 MW. The U.N. Iraq Program further stated that, by the
summer of 2004, Iraq's electricity generating capacity could reach 5,900 MW,
with several power stations at Al-Quds, Beji, Himreen,Yousfiya and Rumaila are
all gas-fired electric power plants under construction. Several others
electrical power plants at Dibs, Hart, Najaf, Nassriya were gas and thermal
electrical power plants awaiting approval and/or funds.
Iraq's power deficit stood at 1,800 MW as of August 2000, with
blackouts a common occurrence. Iraq signed contracts for renovating two power
generation units at the Harithah power plant, and another to rebuild the
Yusufiyah plant, which stopped operations in 1990. Iraq's Electricity Authority
signed several other contracts with Chinese, Swiss, French, and Russian
companies, to build 3,000 MW of additional power generating capacity. These
contracts required UN approval and United States and Britain systematically
blocked $1.5 billion worth of electrical equipment that Iraq had requested. In
December 2000, Chinese company had completed work on the Abdullah power plant
north of Baghdad. In October 2001, Russia's Mosenergomontazh was working to
modernize Iraq's Southern Heat and Power Plant in Najibia, Basra province. The
project aimed to add 200 MW of generating capacity to Iraq's grid. In August
2002, the Najaf region two new power plants with a combined capacity of 20 MW
came online.
(19) America Weakened
Iraq
America
systematically destroyed Iraqi oil industry, electric power plants during 1991
Gulf War I and exploited the embargo to sabotage the repairs and reconditioning
of Iraqi equipment, refineries, power plants and oil and gas fields to weaken
Iraq, so that when American troops would attack Iraq, it would fall easily.
America encouraged Iraq to wage war on Iran to weaken Iraq in the fratricidal
war. American had decided early in 1980s after President Carter overthrew the
Shah of Iran monarchy, to someday establish oil colony over Iraq.
30(17) US Oil Colonialism
(1) NATURE
OF YANKEE OIL EMPIRE: United States launched its Empire-building at the
beginning of 20th Century, when it used brutal military force to wage war on
Spain to create American colonies in Philippines, Puerto Rico and Cuba. America
has also used brutal military force to make colonies in Panama, Haiti and Guam.
However, the American innovation of Neo-Colonial Empire avoids direct political
control over colonies, and it rather installs corrupt, non-democratic,
ultra-conservative exploitative regimes and loots the American colonies by
securing dominant position for American companies, which concern primarily in
looting the oil and gas resources, and minerals. American colonial policy does
not advocate export of American colonialists to settle down in foreign
colonies, but content to tax the colonies, by economic exploitation, of the
colonial economies by modern day version of East India Company, the American
oil companies. America learnt by the experience of Jews-controlled DeBeers
diamond and gold cartel, which allowed the Jews to control the economies of
Black Africa, by focusing on economic exploitation of the mineral resources of
Africa, and let the exploitative black regimes exploit the black subjects. After
1900, secret service agents of British Empire, Lawrence of Arabia, purposely
backed Wahhabi ultra-conservative nomad tribes to challenge the civilized,
modernistic rule of the enlightened Ottomans. Damascus Jews aligned with Semite
Arab Bedouin nomads to finance Muslims wage on civilized Christian Egypt, Syria
and Libya, during 7th Century. Christian religious right and Christian
imperialists nurtured, financed and militarily supported Wahhabi terrorists
from 1900 onwards to undermine the political control of civilized Ottoman
Empire over Arabian Peninsula, just as President Reagan financed Afghan
Mujahideens to wage wars on Soviet occupation forces in Afghanistan. American
Big Oil, British Empire and Papacy realized the military role
ultra-fundamentalist Wahhabi nomad Bedouin could play in undermining the rule
of the Ottomans in Arabia. After the falloff Ottomans Christians continued to
politically support fundamentalist nomad Bedouin Wahhabi sect, in its war of
Islamic religious sects over more civilized moderate liberal Islamic sects.
Christian neo-colonialists found common cause with Bedouin Wahhabi medievalism
to weaken Islam and to isolate modernistic secular Muslim leadership, which was
more likely to oppose Yankee oil colonialism than illiterate Muslim clergy.
(2) BIG
OIL NURTURED ISLAMIC TERRORISM: Protestant Britain and WASPs United States and
Roman Catholic Church, formalized ties with fundamentalist Wahhabi Sunni clergy
to undermine the modern, secular, moderate Islamic societies, in exchange for
American and British oil companies control over Islamic mineral and oil riches.
British and American Christians gave legal authority to barbarian
ultra-conservative fundamentalist militant Muslim clergy to whip Muslim women
and replace modern European legal system by barbaric Shariah, so that modern,
educated, liberal Muslim leadership removed from positions of power and
influence in the Islamic world, and uneducated Muslim clergy and exploitative
Muslim sheikhs and rulers, or pro-Western military coup leaders move in to
capture political and social power. It is no accident that secular modern
liberal Muslim generals, Pakistan’s Zia Ul Haq and Pervez Musharraf, after
staging military coup, overnight became pro-Shariah and pro-militant Islamism.
General Zia Ul Haq and General Pervez Musharraf found it convenient to hand
over the authority to Muslim clergy to whip Muslim women brutally, in exchange
to army’s monopoly over political and economic power and Heroin drug trade.
United States realized in 1951, that educated, liberated, modern, pro-democracy
Muslims would harm American interests as they would attempt to invest
oil-incomes in economic development, while military coup leaders, corrupt
Muslim Monarchs, Sheikhs and Kings would instead steal state’s oil-wealth and
stash in personal bank accounts in American banks.
(3) TO BIG
OIL TALIBAN IS HOUSE OF ALSAUD: American Big Oil finds anti-women Taliban, Al
Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden and Mohammad Omar, as convenient as dealing with King
Fahd, Saudi House of al Saud, or Kuwaiti al Sabah family. United States is not
the enemy of Islamic terrorism, on the contrary the CIA created and legitimized
Islamic terrorism and Militant fundamentalism, when it overthrew the benevolent
monarchy of Shah of Iran and sidelined democratically elected Prime Minister
Bani Sadr and neutralized powerful military generals who dreamt of taking over
power, so that politically weak ultra-conservative Ayatollah Khomeini could
become dictator of Iran. President Jimmy Carter became the father of Shiite
Islamic fundamentalism. Subsequent Reagan Administration nurtured, financed and
militarily supported Sunni fundamentalism and consolidated militant Islamism in
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Nigeria, to secure the unholy
alliance of democratic modern capitalist conservative Christian West and
Christian America with the anti-democratic, ultra-conservative, anti-women
Sunni and Shiite militant Islamism. President Eisenhower started the trend to
identify Christian America’s national interests with ultra-conservative Wahhabi
Islamism, to undermine modern Islamic societies as fundamentalists protect the
American oil interests better. During Reagan Administration, American Christian
religious right conservative conspiracy, aligned with Wahhabi
ultra-fundamentalism to cement ties of Christian fundamentalism and Islamic
fundamentalism, to uphold the interests of American oil and Muslim oil-rich
oligarchy. Muslim oil-oligarchs and fanatic clergy accept monopoly of American
oil companies in exchange for the American military support to further Islamic
fundamentalist religious agenda.
(4)
WAHHABI RULE FOR OIL COLONIALISM: In exchange for American Oil’s economic
monopoly, the American Oil Colonialists supported, albeit imposed the
dictatorial rule of the Wahhabi fundamentalist Muslim Clergy and coup leaders.
British colonial policy imposed of British civil service, Judiciary and Law
over colonies. American Neo-colonial policy imposes dictatorial rule of
exploitative, ultra-fundamentalist anti-women Muslim leaders, so that Muslim
society kept backward and non-democratic by empowered Muslim clergy, that
allowed American Big-Oil loot the oil, gas and other mineral resources of the
oil-producing nations. Osama Bin Laden, Taliban and Muslim League are the norm
not the exception in American Neo-Colonialism. Muslim League led-by Jinnah
partitioned Indian Empire in 1947 and placed Jinnah into power just as Taliban
placed into power by the Christian neo-colonial interests in 1995. Muslim
terrorists welcome American oil colonialism, in exchange for Christian military
support for Muslim rebels and Muslim terrorist wars waged against non-Catholic
and non-Protestant societies, namely Chechnya and Kashmir. Christian Western
powers accepted Islamic terrorism and Jihad so long as Muslim militants waged
terrorist wars outside the Western Christendom. America furthers its colonial
interests and oil imperialism by giving political, diplomatic and military
support to Islamic terrorism and militant Islamism, because Wahhabi terrorists
more vulnerable to exploitation by American oil cartels.
(5) MAKE
OIL COLONIES VIA TERRORISM: Muslim terrorists, though stooges of American oil
interests, gain local respectability because of their propensity to beat Muslim
women into submission. American oil companies have no desire to promote
Christianity and can comfortably live with the accusation that their colonial
stooges terrorized their womenfolk. By legitimizing Muslim Clergy’s right to
whip Muslim women at will, Christian powers surrendered Christianity’s claim of
superiority over Islam, and in return gained their acceptance of American oil
colonial status for their Muslim oil-producing nations. United States would
never dare to attack the Wahhabi doctrine, as it could threaten America’s hold
over Muslim oil. Western Christianity surrendered every claim of superiority of
Christianity over Islam, and promoted barbarian nomad pro-Shariah Wahhabi Islam
as superior form of Islam, in exchange for total American domination over Arab
Wahhabi oil and gas resources in the Middle East. American Big Oil and
Christianity loved this bargain to accept Wahhabi fundamentalism in exchange
for Christian domination over Arab lands and American Big-Oil’s domination over
Islamic oil and gas. Christian powers handed over wooden sticks to Muslim
clergy so that they could beat Muslim women, in exchange over total Christian
control over Islamic oil and gas fields.
30(18) World War For Oil
(1) ASIAN ATTACKS ON US OIL COLONIES: Sea power and Air power Pentagon and NATO developed permanent military presence in Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan to secure strong foothold for American Big Oil in the Caspian oil and gas basin, to deny rival regional Eurasian land powers’, control over the exploration, production and transportation of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan oil and gas via pipelines. Eurasian land powers realize that American Muslim oil colonies are the Achilles’ heel of American military and economic power, which in times of world wars, could be militarily conquered or destabilized by the Eurasian land powers, namely, Russia, China and India. United States waged carpet-bombing of German cities and Japanese cities to destroy the economic and urban infrastructure of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan during Second World War. United States used Yellow Orange to destroy the forest cover in Vietnam War to cause permanent ecological damage to Vietnam. United States and NATO air war on Kosovo and Yugoslavia targeted electric utilities, economic targets to cause more than $35 billion in economic damages in Yugoslavia. Should Eurasian land powers, namely, Russia, China and India, wage land wars on American oil colonies in Arabian Gulf and Caspian basin to damage American Achilles’ heels in the Muslim oil-producing world?
If Eurasian land powers succeed in overtaking Muslim oil-rich American colonies in the Third World War by use of land forces and infantry, the Sea powers and air powers would receive a fatal blow to their economic and military power. Chinese conquest of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq and Turkmenistan would cause more harm to American and NATO military might than the conquest of Australia. The major war between western and American Sea powers and Asian land powers would take place on the oilfields of OPEC and Caspian nations. Chinese and Russian military occupation of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait would cause greater harm to the United States than the frontal assault on mainland America and mainland Western Europe. The future world war between United States and Russia or China would take place in the oil-producing Middle East and Caspian Central Asia. Any Chinese or Russian victories and subsequent occupation of the Muslim oil-producing world would decisively shift the world’s balance of power in favor of the winner. American oil colonies in Islamic world represent the Achilles heel of the American super power status.
(2) SECESSION OF BALUCHISTAN: The Baluch tribe predominates in the western coastal province of Pakistan and eastern coastal province of Iran. The Baluch people are racially distinct and separate from peoples of Pakistan and Iran, and constitute separate nation. Port of Bandar Behest is the Baluchistan port in Iran, and port of Gwadar is the Baluchistan port in Pakistan. The secession of Baluchistan province from Pakistan and its confederation with Afghanistan shall provide unfettered sea outlet to the Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan oil and gas pipelines, which would run southward from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan to Pakistani Baluchistan port of Gwadar, or it could cross over to Iranian Baluchistan towards port of Bandar Behest. The secession of either Pakistan’s Baluchistan or Iran’s Baluchistan is the moral imperative to provide secured sea outlet for the pipelines going southward from landlocked Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, trough landlocked Afghanistan to the Baluchistan Arabian Sea ports of Gwadar in Pakistan or Bandar Behest in Iran. Baluchistan province of Iran is the least developed area of Iran similarly Baluchistan province of Pakistan is the least developed area of Pakistan. Baluch people in Pakistan as well as Iran have waged civil wars for independence. Pakistani port of Gwadar is less than 100 miles from Iranian border and Iranian port of Bandar Behest is very near to the Pakistani border. The economic development of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan oil and gas fields and oil/gas pipelines would expedite the demand for Baluchistan’s secession from Pakistan and Iran, which would make Baluchistan prosperous and strategically significant, and provide unfettered access to the Arabian Sea ports to the landlocked Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
(3) SECESSION OF KURDISTAN: Eurasian land powers should militarily support the secession of Kurdistan from oppressive occupation of Turkey. The secession of Kurds from Turkey and Iraq would provide direct land access from Kurd-majority areas on the Black sea to the Kurd areas at the mouth of Arabian Gulf. United States supports the subjugation of Turki Kurds because Iraqi Kurd areas rich in oil and gas reserves. Eurasian land powers by militarily supporting Kurdistan’s drive for secession from Turkey and Iraq could hope to control the oil and gas riches of Iraq. Kurdistan is the Achilles’ heel of Turkey and NATO. The establishment of sovereign independent oil-rich Kurdistan out of the Kurd-majority areas in Turkey, Iraq and Iran would blunt NATO’s offensive in Caspian Central Asia and Afghanistan. Kurds are Aryan people and speak language similar to Persian. Secession of Kurdistan would be in the national interest of Iran, Pakistan, India, Russia and China and greatly undermine expansionism of 26-member NATO in Central Asia. Russia and China can undermine the American and NATO military presence in Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan by enhancing their political and military support to Kurd rebels. Since United States, Turkey and Saudi Arabia support Chechnya rebels, could persuade Russia provide similar support to the Kurd rebellion.
(4) SECESSION OF SHIITE SAUDI AL HASA: Pro-Iran Saudi Shiite tribes are in majority in Al Hasa region of Arabian Gulf, and they vehemently resent the domination of Wahhabi Sunni Arabs. The oil-rich Shiite-majority Al Hasa region bordering Arabian Gulf coast would become very rich and gas and oil producing nation. The secession of Shiite–majority Al Hasa Arabian Gulf coastal province will undermine Islamic terrorism. Saudi Arabia should be portioned into four sovereign states: Western Saudi Arabia with Jeddah on the Read Sea as Capital; Central Saudi Arabia with Riyadh as Capital; Shiite Eastern Saudi Arabia including Al Hasa Arabian Gulf coastal province with Dammam as capital; and Holy Mecca & Medina with Medina as the capital. Four-way partition of Saudi Arabia would eliminate Saudi Arabia as the womb of Islamic terrorism and America would exercise greater control over four oil-colonies more than what it does on Saudi Arabia. The four-way partition of Saudi Arabia is in the national interests of Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan India, Russia and China. Iraq should also be partitioned into three independent states, namely, Shiite Arab Iraq, Sunni Iraqi Kurdistan and Sunni Arab Iraq. Shiite and Sunni are mutually hostile and incompatible religion and partition of Arab states on the religious lines of Sunni and Shiite, and on racial lines Semite Arabs and Aryan Iranians would promote regional peace and allow Western power exercise greater control over oil colonies. India, China and Russia should support secession of Shiite-majority Al Hasa oil-producing region from Saudi Arabia, and Shiite-majority oil-producing southern region from Iraq.
(5) PAKISTAN IS THE NEW CALIPH OF ISLAM: Pakistan not Turkey is the strongest military power in the Islamic world and deserves the rightful status as the ‘Caliph of Islam.’ Pakistan as a the Caliph of Islam has the right to take over the former territories of the Ottoman Caliphate, namely, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq and United Arab Emirates. Should oil-rich OAPEC Arab nations give a portion of the gross oil-incomes to Caliph of Islam Pakistan and hand over the custody of Mecca and Medina to Pakistan? It is likely that during 21st century nuclear Pakistan would invade and occupy Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and inter-marry with 5 million Saudi, Kuwait and Iraqi women to lay the foundation of powerful Islamabad Caliphate. Pakistan’s conquest of Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia does not harm India’s national interests.
(6) WAHHABISM AS ZIONIST & VATICAN PLOT: Wahhabi doctrine and the Semite Wahhabi terrorism is the Christian weapon to loot the riches of the oil-rich Islamic world. Zionists and Catholics promoted the Bedouin culture as a form of purer form of Islam, to undermine the political control of Ottoman Caliphate over Arabian Desert lands. The Jews got Israel and family of Abdul Aziz Al Saud got the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Wahhabi clergy got control over Mecca and Medina. During first Islamic century, Jews supported the conquest of Egypt and Syria by Muslim raiders. British and America established British and American oil-colonies in the former territories of Ottoman Empire, by militarily and financially supporting the Wahhabi terrorists for waging Jihad on Ottoman officials based in Arabian Peninsula. King Abdul Aziz Al Saud organized terrorist acts on Ottoman targets, much similar to what Osama Bin Laden and other Mujahideen leaders did in Afghanistan, and Chechnya after receiving American dollars and guns. It is possible that the Hidden Hand of the World Ruler mentioned in the Protocols of the Secret Meetings of the Elders of Zion, conceptualized the Wahhabi fundamentalist doctrine to reinvent the Muslim-Jewish alliance that used Jewish support and finance to wage wars and loot the riches of Egypt and Syria. Just as after 640 AD Muslim raiders looted Egypt and Syria and sold the loot to Damascus Jews, similarly the Wahhabi militant Islamic Clergy aligned British imperialism and American imperialism and agreed to make oil-rich Arabian Peninsula British and American colony, in exchange for British and American recognition of Wahhabi monopoly over social, cultural and religious affairs. British spy, Lawrence of Arabia mobilized the military prowess of Wahhabi terrorists to weaken the hold of Ottomans over oil-rich Arabian Peninsula. Britain and America recognized the despotic rule of single individual Abdul Aziz and his descendants through multiple marriages, ownership over the oil-riches. Abdul Aziz and his forefathers never had any royal blood, as after the Mongol conquest of Baghdad Caliphate the entire Muslim royalty was destroyed and the Ottomans were Aryans not of Arab Semite race. The Saudi monarchy of House of al Saud, legitimized the rule of a single family, by agreeing to hand over total control over Mecca and Medina to Wahhabi Clergy and by agreeing to hand over economic control over oil and gas resources to American and British Big Oil companies.
Osama bin Laden is the 2001 version of Abdul Aziz al Saud of 1917, and both originated in Saudi Arabia and profess the fundamentalist doctrine of Wahhabism and are supported by British and American imperialism and oil companies and Christian Church. Wahhabism and Islamic terrorism is an outgrowth of the Zionist-Papal plot to subvert Islamic Civilization and to convert Islamic oil and gas producing nations into American Oil Colonies. Osama Bin Laden is not the nemesis of the Christian American Oil Neo-Colonialism rather Osama is the arch bearer and trumpeter of American Oil Imperialism. It is likely that Saudi Wahhabi Sunni Al Qaeda terrorists and Osama Bin Laden would overthrow the Saudi monarchy of House of al Saud, some time before 2012 AD, just like his predecessor Iranian Shiite Ayatollah Khomeini, who overthrew Pahlevi Monarchy of Shah Mohammed Riza Pahlevi, with the blessing of the President Jimmy Carter and the CIA in Jan 1979. Would some day the House of Bin Laden rule Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and United Arab Emirates, with America’s blessing?
The arch terrorist of today, Osama Bin Laden could be the future-king-in waiting for universal Arabian oil-rich Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE. Should India support or oppose the imperial royal dreams of terrorist Osama bin Laden in Saudi Arabia? Could Royal families of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and United Arab emirates, avoid looming slaughter at hands of Al Qaeda terrorists, by entering into defense pact with nuclear India?
(7) INDIA JOINS EURO
OIL IMPERIALISM: Former European colonial powers, namely, Britain, France and
Germany, would seek the military support of India to promote the oil-interests
of Indo-Euro Oil Colonialism. United States employed covert operations and
supported Islamic fundamentalists in Algeria, Syria and Iran to undermine
French oil colonial interests in Algeria, Syria, and Iran. United States covert
operations in Britain defeated assertive Tory leaders allowed submissive Labour
Party Prime Minister Harold Wilson, who gave up British colonial control over
Brunei, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar to expedite the establishment of
American oil colonies in the former British colonial territories. After the
Second World War, United States replaced Britain and consolidated its
domination over oil and gas producing former colonies of British Empire,
namely, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Iran, Nigeria, Qatar, Oman,
Malaysia, Brunei and Bangladesh. British
Oil Imperialism overshadowed American oil imperialism in control over Middle
East oil before the Second World War.
Before 1945, the Indian Empire and British Empire controlled 100
per cent of Iranian oil and 47.5 percent of Iraqi oil; the U.S. interest was
only 23.75 per cent in Iraq equal to France's interest in Iraq oil. After 1945,
the control over Middle East oil has changed radically; in 1959 the U.S. share
rose to 50 per cent of all Middle East oil, while that of Britain declined to
18 per cent, and France had 5 per cent, the Netherlands 3 per cent, other,
including the local Arab governments, 24 percent. After the end of the Cold War
the Western oil imperialism is really United States imperialism. Germany,
France, Japan and Britain realized that American Oil Neo-colonialism harms the
economic interests of German, French, Japanese and British oil companies.
To establish oil colonies in the Middle East and Caspian Central
Asia, in competition with the American oil colonialism, European powers could
find defense pact with India very promising and rewarding. India, Germany,
France and Japan could establish joint control over new oil colonies in the
Caspian Region and Arabian Gulf region. India and Britain could enter into
defense pact to recreate oil-colonial empire in the former colonial possessions
of British Empire, namely, Brunei, Malaysia, Nigeria, Kuwait, Iraq, UAE, Qatar,
Muscat & Oman, Yemen, and Sudan. India is willing to cooperate with former
colonial powers to recreate Oil Colonial Empires.
(8) COLONIALIZATION OF OIL PRODUCERS: In the 21st century, it is
legitimate for great powers to compete for control and occupation of
oil-producing nations. Just as Koran forces women into servitude to men,
similarly the Raison D'etat doctrine forces militarily weak oil-rich nations
into servitude of great powers. Just as Muslim women not supposed to walk alone
without the male escorts, militarily weak oil-rich nations should venture in
world arena only when escorted by great powers, otherwise they could be
punished by other great powers. Just as golden bird cannot fly free in air, and
must find protection of the cage, the militarily weak oil-producing nations
must find the protection of great powers and find satisfaction of security as
oil colony of great powers. American Big Oil companies have rights and
authority to control and discipline militarily weak oil-producing nations, no
less than Muslim males have over their womenfolk. American Big Oil shall play
the important role in the affairs of the Muslim Oil colonies, similar to the
power Muslim men exercise over their women. Occupation and exploitation of the
economic resources of the militarily weak, oil-colonies is a legitimate Great
Power Game in the 21st Century. Great Powers compete to exercise greater
control and influence over oil-producing nations and all militarily weak oil
and gas producing nations destined to become oil colonies of some great power.
OPEC nations have no right to become free from control of the Neo Colonial Powers, so long as foreign colonial rulers grant freedom in social, cultural and religious affairs. The Great Oil Rush has begun in the 21st Century, and every great Power scrambling for colonial control over militarily weaker oil-producing nations. Oil will be the foundation around which many new great colonial empires of 21st Century would be built. China, Japan, Germany and India nurture dreams to create colonial empires in the 21st Century, based on the colonial exploitation of the oil-producing nations. The religion of Raison d’etat and Realpolitik justifies the colonial conquest of militarily weaker, oil-producing nations, known as Female Nations, by more Great Powers, known as Male Nations. Just as Muslim females expected to be subservient to Muslim males, similarly oil-rich militarily weaker, oil producing Female Nations expected to be subservient to the Great Oil Colonial powers, in the 21st Century Neo-colonial age. Unless the oil-producing, militarily weaker female Oil nations, find security as the Oil Colony of great powers, they become fair game by every other Great Power. Unless protected by Christian Colonial great Powers, Muslim oil-producing nations of Middle East, Southeast Asia and Caspian Central Asia, they would become the fair game for upcoming new Eurasian colonial powers, namely, China, India, Russia and Pakistan. Only choice that the Female Muslim oil-producing nations of Middle East, Central Asia and Southeast Asia and Africa enjoy in the 21st Century, is to choose any one Male Colonial Great Power they should submit to, namely, United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China, India or Pakistan. To protect Islam as a religion and Islam as a Civilization, the oil-producing OPEC nations, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar, UAE should voluntarily join federation with either Pakistan or Turkey, so that Muslim Turkey or Muslim Pakistan should lead the Islamic Caliphate and provide protection to the weaker OPEC nations. To protect Islam and to fulfill their moral obligations to Muslim Ummah, either Turkey or Pakistan should occupy and takeover oil-producing OPEC nations to protect them, for exploitation by other Colonial Great Powers. In the new age of Neo-Colonial Empires of 21st Century, militarily weaker oil-producing nations cannot remain independent, and they must find security as an oil colony of the Colonial Great Powers, preferably as American Oil Colonies.
(9) LEGACY OF PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER: President Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) opened the Pandora box when he used the power of United States to overthrow the regime of Shah Mohammed Riza Pahlevi of Iran and installed ultra-fundamentalist Ayatollah Khomeini in to power in Shah, after scuttling the political aspirations of Iranian Army generals and democratically elected Prime Minister Bani Sadr. That Ayatollah Khomeini is a CIA agent became exposed, when President Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) used Iranian ties to supply arms to Nicaragua’s rebel Contra illegally. President Ronald Reagan consolidated the political and military ties of the CIA and the Muslim Sunni fundamentalists and Shiite fundamentalists, to wage joint Islamic-Western Christian war on infidel Soviet occupation troops, to further American Oil interests in Caspian Central Asia. President Bill Clinton continued the alliance of the CIA and the Islamic Mujahideens, Wahhabi fundamentalists to establish American Oil Colonies throughout Muslim oil-producing world. By giving diplomatic and military support to Wahhabi fundamentalist militant Islamic Jihadis, White House succeeded in weakening the political hold of corrupt Wahhabi rulers of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Arab Sheikhdoms, which would fall like Pahlavi Monarchy of Iran, at the slight hint of the CIA. Just as coronation of arch-fundamentalist Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran protected rather than harmed American oil interests, the coronation of Osama bin Laden as the King of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and United Arab Emirates, would strengthen rather than weaken the domination of American Big Oil over OPEC oil. Just as the loot of the Shah of Iran’s assets enriched Mullahs and American Banks, the loot of royal family assets in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait would also generate huge profits to American financial institutions. Everyone profits whenever big looting takes place. The looming takeover of the OPEC oil-producing nations by foreign-supported Wahhabi terrorists would spread the wealth around and strengthen America’s domination of global economy. Everyone profits whenever big looting takes place.
(10) Secession of Baluchistan from Pakistan
American Big Oil Colonialism would engineer the secession of Baluchistan and NWFP Frontier Province from Pakistan, so that Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Baluchistan Oil-Gas Pipeline could transport Gas and Oil to the oil terminals at Baluchistan port of Gwadar, without depending upon continued support of volatile Pakistan. American Big Oil colonialism had earlier brought about the secession of Bangladesh in 1971, to gain control over the Gas reserves of Bangladesh in Sundarban Basin. After the secession of Baluchistan from Pakistan the NATO troops in Afghanistan would guarantee that Turkmenistan Oil & Gas flows without interruption via Turkmenistan-Gwadar Oil-Gas Pipeline. President George Bush cultivated Pakistan for its geopolitical location on the southward route for Turkmenistan Oil Pipeline. The geopolitics of Baluchistan necessitates the American support for the secession of Baluchistan from Pakistan. American Oil Colonialism needs Baluchistan, not Pakistan to control the oil and gas riches of Turkmenistan. Former Soviet Central Asian republics, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan and Baluchistan should form Confederation or Federation or Common Market and end the land-locked status and gain direct route to the Arabian Sea and outlet at Baluchistan port of Gwadar. Secession of Baluchistan from Pakistan and its confederation with Afghanistan and Central Asian Republics Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan would transform the geopolitics of Eurasia and eliminate the threat of Russian takeover of former Soviet Central Asian Republics.
30(19) US Iraqi Oil Empire
Pentagon would directly rule Iraq, by placing a puppet military
general into power in Iraq, so that loot of Iraqi oil could pay for future
Pentagon’s military expeditions in future. America talks about democracy in a
post-Saddam Iraq, but realizes that the interests of American Oil Colonialism
best served by the military dictatorship under direct control of American
occupation troops. The fate of Saddam Hussein and fate of Iraqi oil is also the
fate of Arab world, Arab Oil and even Islam. If Iraq falls and becomes the
colony of Christian American Big Oil then the entire oil-producing would become
sooner than later, the colonies of American Colonial Empire, or the French Oil
Colonial Empire, or German Colonial Empire, or Russian colonial Empire, or
Indian or Chinese or Japanese Colonial Empire. If the Bush Oil Colonial
Administration successful in its goal of change of Saddam Hussein’s regime in
Iraq, to establish American Oil Colony in Iraq, and colonization of world’s
second largest reserves of oil, then what would Iraq look like without Saddam?
Would Iraq flourish or would Iraq fall apart and pave way for further
colonization of other Oil-producing Arab nations?
America’s stated goal would be an Iraq that has territorial
integrity, an Iraqi government that is democratic and pluralistic, an Iraqi
nation where the human rights of every ethnic and religious group are
recognized and respected. The George W. Bush Administration believes the stakes
in Iraq have never been higher: A new government in Baghdad could unite the
Iraqi nation and help stabilize the region, and pose no threats to the American
colonies in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The right kind of government in Iraq, the
Bush administration believes, would ease the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and
eliminate the only know opponent to American oil colonialism in the Middle
East, and pave the way for formal establishment of American Oil colonial
administration throughout the Arab world, to end the independence and
sovereignty of the oil-producing Islamic Arab world.
While the first Bush administration (1989-1993) saw nation
building in Iraq as a quagmire, the second Bush administration (2001-) sees
that it's a strategic opportunity. The first Bush administration was afraid
America would be stuck in Iraq, if America moves in and establish colonial
control over Iraq. American troops could be staying in forever in Iraq. It
would be that chaotic Iraq might fall apart. The second Bush administration
sees it as an opportunity to put in a pro-American regime in Iraq and to
establish formal American Oil Colony in Iraq, to herald the new age of Oil
Colonial empires in the 21st Century, to install democracy in Iraq and change
the whole political dynamic in the Middle East, and to pave the way for formal
annexation and colonization of the entire oil-producing Islamic world, to be
ruled and exploited by American Big Oil. President George W. Bush realized that
American economy is rotten from within and survives as the world’s top economy
only because of America’s control of global oil and gas resources. President
Bush wanted to become the historical person by changing history, to bring back
the colonial empires as the principal actors in world politics. International
diplomacy in 21st Century conducted by diplomats of Oil Colonial Empires and
supranational entities and many newly independent states that emerged after the
Second World War would lose its independence and sovereignty.
Arab world has a history of instability, because these countries
never existed in the history and were created by British and American oil
interests. But stability and democracy in Iraq could be wishful thinking, if
history is an accurate guide. Iraq is a fragile nation, a made-up country
created by the British and French in a secret deal to protect their colonial
interests at the end of World War I. Treaty of Sevres promised independent
statehood to the Kurds of the Ottoman Empire. Britain imposed the rule of Arab
Sunni tribes, which are minority in Iraq, because Wahhabi King Faisal of Iraq
had signed away all oil rights to Britain. Saddam Hussein represented Arab
Sunnis and was a CIA spy, and has managed to provide some stability in Iraq.
In Iraq governments have been overthrown more than 20 times in the
last 80 years, after 1920. Iraq is a multi-ethnic, multi-religious and
multi-racial society. Modern Iraq I s a fragile mix of religion, ethnic groups
and tribes. Sunni Muslims in Baghdad and the country's central areas have run
the government since the days of the Ottoman Empire. Sunni Muslims, including
Arab Sunnis and Kurd Sunnis, comprise roughly 35 percent of the country's
population. Shi'a (or Shiite) Muslims - based mainly in the south - are the
actual majority group in Iraq, comprising 60 percent of the population. And the
Kurds in the mountainous north have achieved a degree of security, supported by
British and American air power enforcing the northern no-fly zone. Kurds are
roughly 15 percent to 20 percent of the Iraqi population. Iraq also has
suffered from political instability that has been the hallmark of Iraq. The
Iraqi government overthrown more than 20 times since 1920 and the Iraqi nation
had no history of democratic rule. Islamic world is unfit for the democracy.
America realized that Iraq is no military power and can easily be
conquered and colonized. British policy of divide and rule would allow British
and American oil interests long term colonial rule over Iraq, till its oil
resources are depleted. The real advantage with Iraq is you know what a foreign
occupation troops would do to establish permanent colonial presence in Iraq.
Colonial troops would exploit the ethic divisions in Iraq, and Iraqi people
would fail to meet the challenge of keeping multi-ethnic Iraqi state together.
Trying to get the Iraqis to commit to their country not just a political entity
but really as a nation, in which everybody feels that they have an interest,
would be a great problem, and America could exploit the ethnic divisions in
Iraq to establish a permanent Oil Colony in Iraq. Any fighting will be over who
would succeed Saddam and that whatever the fighting is likely to be is going to
be less than what Saddam Hussein did to Iraq himself.
Direct American colonial occupation of Iraq and establishment of
direct American colony in Iraq, in post-Saddam Iraq would promote stability and
peace in Iraq and make America wealthy and prosperous. Why should America pay
for foreign Oil when it can colonize and exploit Iraqi oil free? Whether the
Middle East would be more stable with or without Saddam Hussein in power is
only academic question after America won the Iraq war. The shock waves from an
overthrow of Saddam could spread. Unilateral U.S. invasion of Iraq could
destabilize the Middle East oil-producing region, by giving the ordinary Arab
the perception that the United States really is an imperial power, that America
invaded Iraq not to bring justice and better government to the Iraqi people but
as an imperialist power that is going to occupy the country and gain control of
Iraq oil resources. And this is going to resonate very strongly in Saudi Arabia
and Egypt and Jordan, so after the occupation of Iraq, America should militarily
intervene and establish direct oil colony in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait also. A
change of government in Iraq would lead to changes in governments in other Arab
nations. But given the track record of Arab states and their ability to control
their own society for the last 50 years, America shouldn’t worry about regimes
toppling or things collapsing, so long American does not introduce freedom and
democracy in Iraq. America’s colonial occupation of Iraq would promote
stability in the Middle East and America would handover power to terrorist
Wahhabi clergy in Iraq so that the policies that allowed Untied States to
control Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE would also control Iraqi oil. Arab nations
would not be upset by America’s war to overthrow the regime of Saddam Hussein
in Iraq, so long as Wahhabi clergy in Iraq gets its fair share of the oil
incomes. The Arab armies will not walk along with America to attack Iraq, but
Arab nations will walk in the Iraqi funeral and Arabs will be very happy, that
the bully of the Arab world died.
Kurds are Sunni Aryans and unlike Arab Sunnis are warriors. If
Saddam Hussein is removed, America’s challenge will be creating stability in
Iraq, especially in Kurd-majority northern areas. Kurdish people live in the
northern no-fly zone of Iraq. Saddam has used chemical weapons against the
Kurds before and brutally repressed a Kurdish uprising in the aftermath of the
Gulf War, when Kurds thought America would support Kurd rebellion against Iraq.
Kurds feel betrayed that United States allowed after the Gulf War to use
helicopters to kill Kurds in northern region and allowed Turkish to
periodically enter Kurd areas and kill Kurds. Kurds are annoyed that Untied
States tricked five tope Kurd leaders to ride American military helicopter to
meet tope American leadership and then shot the helicopter killing all the top
five leaders of Kurds after the Gulf War. Since the establishment of the
northern no-fly zone in Northern Iraq, the Kurds, who have been struggling to
create a country of their own for decades, have essentially set up an
autonomous governing region for themselves. But Iran, Turkey and Syria, with
Kurdish minority populations of their own, would be opposed to true Kurdish
autonomy. India supports the autonomy of Kurds. Russia and India may support
Kurd rebels in Iraq and turkey, in case America does not give India and Russia
a fair share of the incomes of the Oil loot in Iraq. What the CIA did to Soviet
troops in Afghanistan by providing military supplies to Afghan Mujahideens,
same could happen to American colonial troops in Iraq, if Russia, France,
Germany, Iran and India agree to supply arms and ammunition to Kurds, if the
incomes of Oil Loot not fairly distributed among great powers?
Turkey wants to establish Turkey’s colonial rule in Northern Iraq, the areas of Kurds. The neighbor states, Iran and Turkey and Syria are all very much opposed to any constitutionally recognized autonomy for the Kurds in northern Iraq, because of the implications for their own Kurdish minorities. Turkey thinks it might be a steppingstone to trouble in future, as the Kurds look beyond autonomy in northern Iraq to their age-old dream of a Kurdish state. Kurdish state or even a semi-autonomous Kurdish area in an Iraqi federation could be a cause for post-Saddam Iraq’s war with Turkey. Turkey would regard any autonomy to Kurds as an act that would need to be negated by Turkish military action. Saddam has never been perceived as a mortal threat to Turkish interests. United States will place emphasis on stability over democracy in a post-Saddam government. America has no d
