The enemy of my enemy is my friend (?)
I've been trying to keep up with recent developments on so called "Sectarian" conflicts in American occupied Iraq.
Apparently the Shiite and Sunni Islamic factions in Iraq are on the brink of civil war, having been offset by the bombing of a Shiite mosque, one of the holiest of the Shia faith, in Samarra.
Since the bombing, Shiite and Sunni Muslims in Iraq have turned on one another, and violence and hostilities have erupted among the two groups.
The Iraqi "Government" have blamed "anti-democratic"forces within Iraq for the bombing , saying that these anti-democratic forces are trying to destabilize Iraq and start a civil war.
To be honest, I agree completely. The forces that committed the bombing are anti-democratic
and trying to plunge Iraq into civil war.
I call these anti-democratic forces the United States of America.
When I first heard about the mosque bombing, the perpetrators were described as being dressed in camouflauged Uniforms. I noticed that this part of the story seemed to disappear rather quickly in the international press soon afterwards.
The American government is the most logical suspect for the bombings. The bombings benefit their Iraqi regime by dividing the forces that were resisting their occupation, and by providing the Americans with a reason to stay in Iraq, even after "Democracy" has prevailed.
Of course, I can only speculate. But even so, even if America was in no way involved in the bombing and the ensuing divisions, it is irrelevant. The US is still ultimately to blame for the
sectarian conflict in Iraq. The United States forces have been trying to encourage sectarian splits in the Iraqi people since the beginning of the occupation in many ways. The new "democratic" puppet government set up by America in Iraq included the Kurds and Sunnis, but excluded the Shiites. What exactly is so democratic about excluding 50% of the population from having even a marginal say in the "democratic" government? Then there is the matter of the Iraqi police. The Iraqi police remind me very much of the Jewish police force established by the fascists in the Warsaw ghetto during the second world war. In both cases a fascist foreign occupier established a police force for their conquered population, comprised of individuals who would turn on their own people for a pat on the head from their oppressors. Is this act not an attempt to divide the populace? Does this not incite civil war?
I wonder how long these sectarian tensions will last. I seriously doubt they will endure for long.
Eventually the common enemy will emerge to the people of Iraq in the form of the "Democratic"
Iraqi puppet government and the American occupiers, and a true peoples front will be realized by by all Iraqi factions.
