Kabul and Baghdad did not fall.

 

How can they expect any victory ?? from those.....

Recently ,
the Taliban have targeted the down-town-area of Kabul.
It is a symbolic-victory knowing that Talibans do anyhow have
the upper-hand only outside the Afghan cities...... .
So the USA and its brave allies are " back to start "
or are simply back to nowhere.
We all knew that the Western-forces cannot win politically nor morally ,
but eventually,and by some miracle, they could win militarily.
This is not the case and the Talibans are coming back to Kabul.

Now , today ,
we have the confirmation that this miracle shall not take place,
because wisdom tells us : " You cannot bomb an idea "


Elsewhere,
between the Euphrates and the Tiger , politicians are considering
allowing the members of the Baath party to re-enter
onto the political arena and to participate in the elections.

However they shall allow the "Baathist" but not the "Saddamist"
according to their spokesman.
Which resembles ,for example, to a ban on the leninists
but with a license to the communists.
Here  is a miracle in the making which is closer to absurdity
when we remember that Iraq was invaded because it was Baathist,
and for nothing else.

But, 
" you cannot bomb an ideology !! "

Kabul and Baghdad did not fall , after all.

How could the USA hope for  victory or even for a success
when Talibans and or  Baathist do come back  ??? .


The Baath-party, anyhow, is now the only salvation for Iraq,
while,  Afghanistan deserves better than the Talibans,
but who am I to judge the inevitable and the obvious ??

Iraq gets a new constitution.....

the new-faces of Iraq

The Iraqi parliament has just agreed on the new constitution.

Now  , the division is set along the lines of faith

along the lines of sect and along the ethnic lines.

There are now :

three ethnic-Iraqs

and 2 sectarian-Iraq

and five regional-Iraqs

and 7 recognised minorities.

Thank you George Bush , thank you Wolfowitz and Richard Perle !!

Mission accomplished .....indeed .

We have had once one Iraq.....and now there are three !!

I remember the previous constitution

that never did mentioned the ethnic identities

nor was the religious belonging a matter of relevance... ..

The President was a secular-Sunni

with a Christian-vice- president

and a Shiaa-second- vice-President

not because of their religion but because of their talents....

There was one Party , which has had some Short-comings,

but this party was modern,secular and republican.....

Don't you remember it ??............. it was there until 2003...

and the Iraqi President was an ex-revolutionary,

anti-imperialist who build Churches and protected the Synagogues.

Funny !!

today that same parliament includes :

- war lords

- religious scholars (fanatic or not)

- tribal lords

- Mafiosos

- CIA stooges

- smugglers and common criminals, seeking immunity

- run-away-bankers

- mercenary-captains

The previous Parliament has not perfect ,

but at least those , above figures, were excluded.

If you ask me ,

I would say that George Bush fooled us

and that President Saddam is a dead Hero !!!

As they say in old western-cowboys- movies :

"They hanged the wrong man "
