Iraq
Iraq deserved what it got. This is war. Civilian casualties happen. The US and Israel, and most of the Western allies like the Brits and the Aussies, work hard to minimize civilian casualties. No one can argue that these countries try any less hard than any other army at limiting civilian casualties. Name one. (France doesn’t count. They just automatically surrender).
War is hell and this is war. al-Qaeda declared war on the United States of America on September 11th, 2001. However, al-Qaeda does not stand alone its jihad. al-Qaeda is an ally in the Islamic Revolution. The Islamic Revolution gave a formal Declaration of War for the Islamic Revolution against Western Civilization on September 11th, 2001.
Once al-Qaeda attacked America, the war had begun. There had been sniping going on for decades, but there was no formal declaration. The Islamists were measuring their position and adjusting accordingly. The Islamists always knew this would be a terrorist war. They could never equal the Western Powers militarily. However, a terrorist war could beat the West philosophically. Chess was invented in Persia and the Iranians still seem to be masters at it.
The Revolution began with the fall of the Shah in 1979. The United States stood by while its ally was deposed in a coup. The Arabs didn’t care that it was Jimmy Carter, not Ronald Reagan, looking over this mess. The United States was the Great Satan. The United States was feared in the Arab world. The United States was the only reason Israel still existed.
Ayatollah Khomeini’s Revolutionary Guard, in it’s infancy with a young Mahmoud Ahmadenijad as an up-and-coming recruit, planned to take over an embassy. The first plan was to take over the Soviet embassy. The Soviets had launched their aggression against the brothers in Afghanistan. It would be war against the Soviet infidel. However, Khomeini’s advisors convinced him that the Soviets would level Iran and the Revolution would be over. How about the Americans? They’re really pissed about the Shah, they actually gave him asylum, but they will want to negotiate. They won’t do shit. America it is!
The Iranians would love to leave Revolutionary Guard footprints in the Washington Mall, but that isn’t their goal. At least, not this century. They want control of the Middle East. The Iranians want to be the rulers of the Muslim world. This will set the stage for a clash of civilizations, and the Iranians are desperately pursuing it.
The attack on the embassy served two purposes. It showed the Muslim world the strength of the Iranian regime and it showed the West that it could not threaten the Iranians. This did a couple of things. It did indeed show the Muslim world that the Iranians had the balls to do what most of them would not; fuck with America. It also showed the Arab street that the Americans are goddamned tolerate people. The Soviets would have blown the Iranians out of the water. Iran would be a wasteland. The Revolution would be over. The Americans are either very stupid or very tolerant.
Iran and Iraq fought a wicked war that lasted 8 years. It ended in a stalemate with literally millions dead. It was grotesque. Both sides declared victory. Neither side won. It doesn’t matter to the Arab street. If you are still alive, you won. These people are from the 7th Century, keep in mind.
Sadaam attacked Kuwait and overran it in 3 days. He was feared in the Arab world and he positioned his army on the border with the Saudi oilfields. The US built a defense and eventually an offense and kicked Sadaam’s ass out of Kuwait and all the way up to the roads to Baghdad (via the “highway of death”), forcing a surrender, in less than 100 hours. Sadaam proclaimed Victory!
These 7th Century, wife-beating, child-molesting, goat-buggering, death-worshipers*, will believe anything that makes their fantasy come true. These are American Leftists, on OD-level steroids. Sadaam living was a sign of victory for many. Sadaam then gave the finger to the US whenever possible. He eventually kicked the nuclear inspectors out. He wanted a showdown. Sadaam thought the US would blink.
Sorry Sadaam. Not after 9/11. Even one of his sons said “This time, the Americans mean it”. Everybody knows we can beat the shit out of anyone, anytime we want to. Iran couldn’t budge Iraq in 8 years. Sadaam was on the run and his army was dismantled in one month. Iran over-reaches its hand when it says “America can do nothing”.**
Iraq today is nothing less than should be expected. The war is on. The Islamic Revolution has positioned its pieces on the board over the last 30 years. It has known since long before 9/11 that this will be a terrorist war. There is no turning back, only turning points.
Iraq left Sadaam in power after the Gulf War. The Shiite majority that is causing trouble today stood back and took its medicine from Sadaam. The Sunnis they attack today stood back and let Sadaam do what he wants. The Sunnis welcomed al-Qaeda at first, because they opposed the Americans. There are no good guys in Iraq. They should kill each other to their hearts’ delight. Plus, al-Qaeda itself flocks to Iraq to be martyred. Cool.
Iraqi civilian deaths are indeed unfortunate. However, this is the front line of the war of this century. Civilian deaths at Stalingrad were no less unfortunate, but that was the battle that stopped Hitler’s advance.
