Iraq’s Future: ‘We are Broken, Orphaned and Lost’ – Kitabat, Iraq
Mar 5th, 2010 | 2 responses
Those hoping for a happy outcome in Iraq would be advised to avoid this article by Iraqi columnist Khadir Taahar. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the very pro-American Taahar is not optimistic, particularly with U.S. forces pulling out. With nationwide elections only days away, the picture he paints of Iraq’s leaders does not suggest a bright future for the country.
For Iraq’s Kitabat newspaper, columnist Khadir Taahar writes in part:
In Iraq, children are reared in a high-pressure atmosphere where feelings and individuality aren’t respected. And this is repeated throughout school, in universities and society. Thus, in the jargon of psychoanalysis, the individual is afflicted by “psychological emasculation.” Even if someone has the highest level of education and culture, they are psychologically crippled by years of this brutal treatment. It is very difficult for mentally-balanced political figures with good leadership qualities to emerge under such circumstances, let alone exhibit the virtues of an exceptional humanitarian!
Then describing the leaders that Iraq possesses, Khadir Taahar writes:
Of course, a distinction must be made between people with real leadership skills and aggressive figures who succeed in demonizing another group of people, such as [Iraqi President] Jalal al Talabani, [President of the Iraqi Kurdistan] Massoud Barzani, Saddam Hussein, Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Hafez al-Assad and others. These aren’t national heroes, but the psychologically and mentally diseased, controlled by criminal tendencies and the wish to dominate and abuse. Hiding their bellicosity behind bright slogans, they find an opening in the world of politics.
Iraqis are always controlled by their emotions, for they consider it wise and clever to be careless and shirk responsibility. Thus they avoid confronting problems and crisis. Such a society will inevitably be governed by mafias and led by thieves, murderers and their agents, who transform their followers into flocks of sheep, leave the people lost and the nation ruined.

Congratulations George, Dick, Paul, Donald, and all your clueless cheerleaders and supporting citizens on your wonderful accomplishment.
Yes. Cheneyco wanted their oil, illegally invaded, committed war crimes in doing so and lied to Congress. They shattered the country which will now be taken over by Iran because they also bankrupted our economy while they drew on our Treasury like a VISA card with no limits and we couldn't defend the region for the long run even if we wanted to. We cannot help them rebuild. They are wrecked because of literally a handful of American white mafia intent on profiteering.
Meanwhile this country still harbors these criminals and wonders why the rest of the world is moving in menacing alliances against us. All we have to do is offer them up to a world court.
In that court when the gavel comes down, that group of men and women responsible for hijacking our country and Iraq should be forced to pay restitution to Iraq and be forced to rebuild it. They should also pay restitution to the US Treasury for lying in order to drain it to the point of nearly collapsing our nation.
It's so very very simple. And to this day I cannot for the life of me understand why we are harboring criminals whose crime was to ruin our nation and another, and harboring them is putting the final nail in that coffin??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
