Iraq’s Democracy vs. U.S. hypocrisy

In his remarks in a conversation at the National Defense University, he further said on August 16, 2011: “the bottom line is that we now have, through a lot of sacrifice, established a relatively stable democracy that’s trying to work together to lead that country.

In that programme, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said: “And we spend a lot of time pushing our friends in the Iraqi Government to make decisions, like naming a defense minister and an interior minister.”

How an independent and sovereign Iraqi nation should react to these statements from two high officials of the Obama administration? Should they welcome them?

Mr. Panetta’s claim is tantamount to a humiliation and contempt of Iraqi nation because of facts. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis sacrificed their lives for the sake of their motherland? Who bombarded and massacred them? Were not these U.S.-led foreign troops whose governments had imposed Saddam on Iraqi nation? But, he mentioned more than 4,000 U.S. troops’ blood!

Secretary Clinton’s statement is an incontrovertible proof of the United States’ meddling into Iraq’s internal affairs. Why U.S. pushes Iraqis to choose who should head defense or interior ministry? Is it their job? Where a true democracy places Iyad Allawi’s bloc?

As a matter of fact, these are Iraqis who made unmatched sacrifices to rid their motherland of a dictatorship that was a legacy of colonialist and imperialist powers. Iraqis have not forgotten what the U.S. administration and the United Kingdom and a handful of their allies did with Iraq since its inception.
In 2003, the U.S.-led coalition of the willing was a coalition for killing in the eyes of Iraqis. Iraqis considered them foreign force of occupying powers that had invaded their motherland to occupy their resources. The objective of the war was Iraqi oil and defence of Zionist regime of Israel.
The U.S. administration cannot blossom its tarnished image among Iraqis. At least US$ 17 billion, Iraq’s oil money was, stolen from Development Fund of Iraq (DFI) in 2004. Iraqi government’s letter sent to the U.N. with a 50-page report says that the institutions of the United States of America committed this financial corruption.

Therefore, it is not the United States that made a lot of sacrifices but Iraqis and their single largest majority Shiites made sacrifices but it is merely a first step in a right direction to establish a genuine democracy in Iraq.
United States imposed U.S. officials, contractors, consultants, that was contempt of Iraqis. Would you like to allow Iraqis to establish a Coalition Provisional Authority to run U.S. affairs? Then, they make claim they established democracy in the U.S!
Mr. Secretary! Should Iraqi nation send their troops to the U.S. to rid U.S. of their war-mongering administration and the U.S. nationals kill all 4500 of them and Iraqi defense minister claims a lot of sacrifices for the U.S. nation?
The C.I.A., U.S. military and state lack credentials to establish democracy in Middle East. Had they been true, Bahrain would have been democratized?
Bahrain is a nation-state where the U.S. naval base is headquartered in the region. The world’s self-claimed democracies failed to export their much-publicized product to the Sheikhdoms and Kingdoms such as Bahrain and House of Saud.
