Citaat door Al-Maroc:
Political schemes behind Iraq blasts

The devastating blast tearing through Baghdad in the past few days and the targeted killings of Christians and Muslims were all part of an organized chain of attacks that al-Qaeda or similar militant movements could not have carried out alone.
This senseless campaign of carnage and blood-spilling has surfaced at a time when the promise of ending an eight-month long political impasse lingers on the horizon.
A stalemate between rival political factions has hampered efforts aimed a forming a national unity government in the war-ravaged country.
The true perpetrators of these blasts and killings are certainly not Muslims and cannot even dare declare their actions were remotely in compliance with Islamic teachings.
Spilling the blood of the Iraqi people has become permissible since the 2003 invasion of the country, and the nation is still paying the price of Iraq's occupation.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has denounced the attack on a church in Baghdad and a string of explosions in predominantly Shia districts as politically motivated attacks aimed at prolonging the political void in the country.
However, the recent attacks seem to denote a broader scheme; undermine national unity and fuel a civil strife based on creating ethnic conflict and causing a sectarian rift.
The final blow would be to split the country into two halves and spreading the war to neighboring countries.
The message that these blasts carry is quite simple:
Firstly, the people of Iraq will be denied any semblance of peace and security, unless they rewrite their political equations.
Secondly, the majority of Iraqis are not allowed to name their choice for next premier, if that person is someone with a lot of power he is not afraid to wield in order to resolve domestic and foreign problems, including rows with some Arab states.
Another unvoiced demand seems to be: the constitution must change to curb the power the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the government.
And last but not least, the nomination of Nouri al-Maliki for a second term in office must be revoked.
The blasts in Shia districts are not measures aimed at population control, but rather seek to force a rethink on political norms that permitted for example the bold decision by Iraqi leaders to refuse an invitation by the Saudi King for hosting negotiations in Riyadh.
Saudi Arabia wants to drag Iraq under its wing, and solving the country's problems through the Arab League will certainly give Riyadh some leverage. It would also see Iraq's security depending on Arab support.
Iraq's history in the past seven years of occupation shows that all these politically motivated killings have been ineffective.
The US and some neighboring countries have pushed Iraq into destruction, and they show no qualms about spilling more and more blood.
Iraq's religious and political leaders have concentrated all their efforts on safeguarding the country's unity and discouraging people form being goaded into a devastating civil conflict.
The blasts that destroyed the shrine of two Shia Imams in Iraq's Samara sparked some unrest in the country, but even that episode and the lives that were lost has not dissuaded these governments from changing their plans.
There is no doubt that a single terror organization going by the name of al-Qaeda no longer exists. One can find one al-Qaeda organizations next to each security agency in some Middle Eastern countries. Al-Qeada's leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al Zarqawi, was certain that killing Shia Iraqis would trigger unrest and drag the silent Sunni majority out of its shell.
He was killed and the Iraqi people -- whether Shia, Sunni, Christian, Kurd, etc. -- have been the target of bombs regardless of their religious or ethnic background.
Zarqawi's replacement was also killed, and their place this time was filled by al-Qaeda leaders who are under the thumb of some Arab countries.
One of the shortcomings of the current administration in Iraq is that it prioritized diplomatic and political delicacies over the need to reveal the corrupt influence of Arab governments in the region.
Iraq's intelligence agency is completely run by the Americans and the country remain is complete occupation. Occupying forces are directly responsible for the security of the country they have invaded.
The spy chief of one Arab country, which shall remain unnamed, once granted an al-Qaeda leader the option of embracing a life in jail or exile in Iraq. This is while packages of crisp US dollar bills bearing the seal of an Arab national bank have been recovered from some terrorist and militant hideouts.
No one seems to be wasting time. Iraq is like a wounded prey under assault from all sides and the hunt is already reaching a climax.
Several years ago, Saudi Arabia's foreign minister said the US with its mistake offered Iraq to Iran on a silver platter.
Jordan's King said he feels threatened by the “Shia Crescent" -- a term first coined in US political circles which quickly become a common term in Arab politics.
The Iraqi government faces a dilemma. If Baghdad reveals where the terrorists hail from and where they get their financial support, those governments will retaliate and more innocent civilians will be sacrificed.
The blasts in Baghdad came just in the wake of Iraq's decision to refuse Saudi bids for hosting political talks in Riyadh.
The situation in Iraq mirrors that of Lebanon and the country cannot solve its problems alone. Baghdad has no choice but to seek help from regional countries in order to solve its political and security woes.
However, one thing is for certain: if the crisis in Iraq continues it is bound to spread throughout the Middle East.
