The US voters have spoken, what next.
The United States voters have signaled that they need a change in the world of politics. Whether there will be a change or not is not the issue for debate. The Bush Administration has lost the two power houses for US politics. We begin to see the soften of the tone from President Bush. The que for the Fall guys is already there, The Defence Secretary Rumsfeld has been replaced or fired what ever you may want to call it. Next in line is Bolton at the United Nation, The Democrats may not want him with his Neo con aggression policies. There view him as the architect of the neo cons in the Bush Administration. and neo con believes that the world can be change but world is moving to the opposite direction because United States has been viewed as a bully boy when dealing with other countries, The resentment has been building over the last four decade when US used to interfere with domestic leadership and politics for other countries. you can name a dozen countries and this is still going on. .
The 9/11 was used to perue a policy of aggression and attack Iraq which had nothing to do with AL Quada or Bin Laden. Saddam Hussein did not trust Al-Quada and he did see them as a threat to his rule in Iraq but the Neo Cons believed that it was the best opportunity to persue there policy of removing Saddam and Bush Junior may have thought that it was time to finish the job which his father and Clinton failed to do.
Driven by the desire to change the world to suite the neo con agenda, Afghastan was there for taking but failed to achieve the end goal, Failed to catch Bin Laden and spend a lot of financial resource and causing ecological damage in the Tora Bora Mountains. Bin Laden escaped into the mountains and there has never been an sighting for him except the video through Al-jazeera TV).
An Iraq war without Strategy
The removal of Saddam Hussein was botched job planed by Primary school children The Bush Administration never have a plan when they went into Iraq, The only plan was from the Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld ( shock and all). The Bush Administration via other contact made contact which the high command giving them communication equipment and telling them what was going to happen according to one TV report. If this was the situation, why did they dismentle the Army structure for the Iraq Army. The Bush Administration new that you could not do anything to protect the people of Iraq without using the Army the fact that the army was going to be under a new command was enough to follow that strategy . The fact that some of the soldier were royal to Saddam could not be used as an excuse for failing to do the right things and it was obvious that if the army did not have a role to play in Iraq, that was going to be a recipe for disaster.
The mess has been created and Iraq has become the breeding ground for extremists, and this has now been exported to United Kingdom and other parts of the world because of the relationship Between Tony Blair and George W Bush The Bush Administration must go back to the United Nation and ask the UN to look back and find a solution that will help to stop the fighting. One problem lies with US/UK, they are regarded as accupying force. The excuse that we are there because of the Iraq government does not hold water because first The US / UK government invaded Iraq before been invited to help, so you can not use the argument that we were invited to help.
The Bush Administration went into Iraq for there own reasons. This is inline with the Neo Cons strategy to change the face of the world.
Way forward
The Bush Administration has to swallow there pride and engage the power Brokers in the Region. This can be done by engaging Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. The Sunnis in the region are the majority and there would like to see piece and the shiati would also want piece.
Nuclear energy
The current discussion on nuclear energy goes beyond the discussion. It is based on the argument that there are countries who already have nuclear bombs in the region and Iran feels threaten and thinks that since the region is not stable, they have a right to defend themselves thus why they believe nuclear strategy is the way forward. The United Nation has to look at the nuclear debate in its totality not only looking at Iran. If what we hear that some countries in the region want to develop nuclear energy for there own use. The United nation has a duty to come up with long term solution that will protect and safe guide every country. .
The United Nation must not be US led, if that is is to achieve results. There is a problem in United state Foreign Policy, It picks and choose those countries that crow on them and demonise any country that does not toe there policies
They use there might power to try and change either the government and bring in those who will dance to there music..
One thing that does not change in United States is the Foreign Policy, whether it is the Republicans or the Democrats. What changes is the presentation. The Democrats tend to use diplomacy and the Republicans are driven by neo con agenda.
Global Security.
The world has become a dangerous place to live, whether you are a Christian or you believe in Islam does not matter, we are all victims of the present wars that are taking place in the world. Take a example of Iraq, the majority of people dying are not connected with the war, there are innocent people who happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Iraq has become an ungovernable Country and it will continue to be worse until the Foreign force pull out. The long the foreign Force remain and are viewed as accupying force. The more difficult it is to establish a democratic government, You may have an elected government but you cannot rule Iraq democratic. Violence will be the rule of law to who ever is going to govern Iraq. Democracy will never be established in Iraq for a foreseeable time
Iraq will be a failed state because of the violence which is griping the country. The power brokers are watching the events folding and the only alternative solution is to engage Iran, Syria, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
