This article traces the future steps of the Neocons in spreading their version of democracy through the muzzle of a cannon. It unveils their grand scheme and puts into context their relationships with Iraq’s neighbors.

The Middle East has been the subject of a colonial devastation since the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Behind the mask of teaching and spreading democracy, Europe’s colonial plunder during the mandate, partitioned the Middle East and left it in the hands of puppet regimes and unstable political systems that were far from being democratic.

These acts of plunder have been ongoingfor such a long time, as in Palestine, to the point where the victim losesthe strength to scream and the world turnsa deaf ear.In contrast,the frenzy in Iraq by the neocons and their cohorts has awakened some to the injustice taking place. This awarenesson Iraq has developed while remaining asleep on the issue of Palestine and failing to piece together the broadermaster plan of “Spreading Democracy in the Middle East”.

Many people are led to believe that there were two Gulf Wars while most experts concur that it was only one.Moreover,the warbetween Iraq and Iran should be understood in this broader Iraqi war.After all, the United States was giving support to both sides, openly to Saddam, and covertly to Iran through the Iran-Contra deals. The war needed to go on and for both sides to sap each other’s strength.

It seems obvious why the United States would want to cut Iran down to size after the Shah but the benefit from Saddam getting involved became clear to me later.

Saddam was easily convinced to enter the war, as he would be the first casualty of an Iranian revolution export. He was at the helm of a country where a minority ruled a majority and that majority is Shiite with potentially close ties to Iran. Protecting his seat of power has always been his preoccupation.

Unlike other Arab nations that have energy resources, Iraqis had the right combination of work ethics and human and scientific resources to become the second South Korea and a regional economic power that would translate into political power at the helm of the Arab world. [more]
