Another American Betrayal Of Kurds, Enough Is Enough!
The American administration is treating Kurds like an invisible nation in Iraqi Kurdistan, at first the special envoy of president Bush Mr. Blackwell objected to the suggestion that an ethnic Kurd could assume the post of president or prime minister, leaving Kurds with insulting token posts, and now the very interim Iraqi constitution (transitional administrative law TAL), which was hailed by the American administration as a remarkable achievement and success and a road map for democracy in Iraq, is deliberately excluded by American administration just to appease the reactionary Shia cleric Ayatuallah Al- Sistani, simply because this law endorses federalism for Iraqi Kurdistan province, and the Kurds have tentatively a veto power ( or to that matter the majority 2/3 in any other 3 Iraqi governorates, something the Kurds could use to prevent the establishment of an Islamic theocracy in Iraq), and as such treating Kurdish demands for endorsement of TAL in the new Security Council resolution with contempt, these demands which were included in a common letter by Kurdish leaders Barzani and Talabani to president Bush on June 1 2004, which asks explicitly for inclusion of TAL in Security council resolution as guarantee for Kurdish national rights against any possible future atrocities against Kurds reminiscent of chemical attacks on Halabja 1988, genocidal Anfal campaigns of 1986-1988 where 182 000 ethnic Kurds were apprehended and buried alive in mass graves by the central Arab Iraqi government led by Saddam Hussein.
But the Americans continue to ignore the legitimate rights of Kurds as a nation in Iraq, as it did for the last 14 months since liberation of Iraq, and are treating them as non-existent and invisible nation, insisting that they should assimilates Iraqi citizens, while Arabs should maintain their Arab or Shia heritage, the American eyes sees only Arab Shias and Arab sunnis in Iraq, ignoring the outstanding fact that Kurds are a separate and distinct nation in Iraq with own language, own traditions, own ambitions which does not necessarily coincides with the reactionary visions of Shia islamists like Sistani or Sunni Islamists like insurgents of Falludjah, the Kurds by tradition are open and liberal, where the women enjoys a very respectable role in Kurdish society, something which can't be said about the way Shia clerics view women. All along since April 2003, the Americans were making mockery of Kurdish demands, they have prevented deported Kurds from returning to their homeland Kirkuk, which raises eyebrows about the real intentions of Americans about Kirkuk, and if the oil wealth of Kirkuk was not actually one of the main aims of American invasion of Iraq, then they denied the key posts of president or prime minister to Kurds, behaving exactly like a colonial power which is trying to subdue the original inhabitants of the country, and now deliberately excluding the legitimate demand of the Kurdish nation in Iraqi Kurdistan for inclusion of TAL in the new resolution, as Kurds we have always tried to dismiss conspiration theories which thrive in the Middle East, but the stench of this Bush-Brahimi-Sistani plot can't be avoided. We are not asking for a special favor from America or United Nations when we ask for guarantees that the heinous atrocities committed by Arab governments of Iraq will not be repeated. Neither Mr. Bush, nor Mr.Brahimi nor the back warded cleric Al-Sistani have legitimacy to deny the Kurds their natural rights in their own homeland. The sincere friendship of Kurds with coalition and their commitment to democracy in Iraq, was misinterpreted by Mr. Bush and Mr. Bremer as weakness which should be dealt with by stepping down on the legitimate Kurdish demands, something which the Americans did many times to Kurds in the recent past especially in 1975, 1988 and 1991.The Americans are undoubtedly about to loose the confidence and friendship of their only real ally in Iraq, Kurdish people are very angry and disappointed about these dubious American actions.
Kurdish Leadership must act decisively:
The American officials are calling our demands as expressed by the letter of Barzani and Talabani to the White House as bluffing, posturing and empty threats and they consider Kurds to weak to follow their words with deeds. The Kurdish leadership and with them the whole Kurdish nation are required to stand up to this challenge and show the Americans and Al-Sistani that they are very serious, they should immediately suspend any cooperation with occupation forces, withdraw their representatives from Interim Iraqi Government, stop cooperation with the biased UN, and make preparations for a referendom about future of Kurdistan. With the obvious dishonest intentions of Americans and the repeated threats of Al-Sistani and other Shia leaders, the Kurds have nothing to loose but their slavery to the Arab regime of Iraq and to expose the lies, double standards and hypocrisy of the American administration about democracy and human rights in Iraq.

The results of the illegally squatting corrupted court nominee administration of The United States are hardly surprising and are completely in accord with the rather obviously defined goals of the representative of the international corporate oligarch.
What is disturbing, to say the least, is that the Kurdish leadership and peoples have not yet learned that their cultural and social needs are in no way of any legitimitate interest to the international oligarch other than as yet another possible mechanism with which to further attempt the destabilization of the entire Middle Eastern region prior to their own open physical control of the region and it´s resources. Those resources being the reason for my society´s criminal regime involvement with mass murder, rape, torture, false imprisonment, infrastructural devastation, and the willful and deliberate release and spread of communicable epidemic diseases caused and created by their, as defined by the UN, criminal aggression.
The Kurds will be a free and independent people when the Kurdish leadership instills a correct understanding of the nature of the foreign business interests that are openly manipulating politicians for hire in every nation and every society as well as their largely ignorant constituencies into acts of overt and covert barbarity...for a personal profit in global social and economic terms...that are in and of themselves incorrectly defined.
There is, naturally, no ultimate profit to be gained for our planet and humanity through criminal aggression, extortion, and environmental devastation maintained by a corrupted American court nominee administration representing only the interests of short term profitability for a few primarily American owned business interests.
The Kurds will be a free and independent people when they recognize that they cannot succeed through their, shall we say rather transparent, attempts to manipulate those same oligarchian criminal intentions to their own unilateral benefit.
The oligarch is actively pursuing a policy of subversion and division among all Middle and Near Eastern peoples and has been since....at least the earliest part of the twentieth century.
Kurdish attempts have all long since been examined, played and replayed, and today the entire society merely represents a pawn to be used and/or discarded at will. The identity, the cultural suveranity, the excellent human, geographic, and infrastructural bases for the establishment of a national social and economic entity are all seen as mere surmountable hindrances to eventual oligarchian hegemony over the entire region.
I entirely agree that the best recourse for the Kurdish peoples at this time is to openly and publicly give the lie to the oligarchs representative, my society´s corrupted court nominee administration. I strongly recommend that you save time and send the same message to that "public interest flavoured" Democrat for Hire, Kerry prior to his "election".
By the way for those Kurds who are not aware of it, this is also the wealthiest individual in the U.S. Senate. I feel adamantly confident that this privileged individual will merely continue the same oligarch policy that has clearly been working so well against all the peoples of the Middle and Near East for over 75 years now, although to be sure his employers motives and goals will be "sugarcoated" in order to appease the hypocritical opinions of the glutted and degenerate mass of a middle-class America that is starting to see too many bodybags in close proximity to their own homes and lives. That is why we were given Carter for a few years. Now we all get Kerry. The agenda remains the same, only the verbal spin is changed in order to maintain and further develop the megalomaniacal plans of the international corporate oligarch.
There is no agenda relating to the legitimate rights of the Kurdish peoples. You will not be allowed control of the wealth of your region. A few of you will be corrupted and will gain a personal profit, while you breathe, supporting the extortion of your region by foreigners who care nothing whatsoever about you or your Mother. Not to mention their entire disregard for your heritage, your entirely undeserved cruel history of recurrent abuse, nor your future generations.
Do you really want to change "American policy" towards the Kurds and all the peoples of the Middle and Near East? Then perhaps you should start addressing your activities towards the actual causus belli, the resources of the region and their economic implications for a shrinking planet.
For it is must be quite clear to any reasoning individual of any political, religious, or ideaological bent that the current American regime has no interest in peace, democracy, pluralism, or the rule of law. The people who have admitted lying in order to continue openly butchering and raping tens of thousands of proven to be innocent civilians of a sovereign state for the perceived profits of a few primarily American owned corporations are not the people who have come among you to spread freedom and human rights. They are your modern Romans, come among you to enslave all of you to the barbaric yoke of inordinate wealth for a few at the cost of the rights, lives, and freedom of all.
Perhaps you should start sharing and supporting the peoples assault against the true enemy;
-- greed, avarice, and criminal selfishness, as witnessed by the machinations of the oligarch in your region, in your lives, in your families.
The Kurds are right to seek alliances from any constructive quarter. It pays to remember that there are billions of us and merely a few hundred thousand of the oligarch. I can assure you, they are VERY aware of this strategic fact of our existence.
It always pays to remember that any western regime is composed of mere politicians for hire, claiming to represent democratic principles and pluralistic values as they in essence merely enact and engage in accordance with the dictates of their true constituency, the currently and thankfully temporarily ruling business interest oligarch.
A pan-cultural union of interests against the common enemy is required in Africa, the Middle and Near East.
Politically constructed and fabricated nationstates come and go; they have proven to be nothing other than a sure road to genocide, corruption of values and laws, and ultimately, our extinction thanks to social control and manipulation by shortsighted business lunatics and their morally handicapped politicians for hire.
The Kurds would do well to recognize the bitterest lesson learned by the indigenous peoples of the America´s, or any others unfortunate enough to have been in our racist path. Those who represent western economic and business interests have no ethics or scruples whatsoever and consequently can never be trusted.
