    Misplaced Priorities in Iraq
    by DAVID ROMANO 7 hours ago

    When Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki sends his armed forces against peaceful Sunni demonstrators, when he breaks his promises about resolving the disputed territories issue in a constitutional manner, when he chooses not to create a national security council that Iyad Allawi (the top vote winner in the last election) was supposed to run, when he monopolizes all the powerful security-related ministerial posts, he is simply being rational and strategic. A very intelligent man, Mr. Maliki no doubt weighs the pros and cons of each of these policy choices before making them. If the presumed benefits to him and his goals outweigh the perceived costs of the policy, he goes forward with it.





    If the Americans still have interests in Iraq, it is their job to influence Mr. Maliki’s calculus. So far they seem to be doing a miserable job of it. Assuming that the United States wishes Iraq to remain stable and democratic, there are a number of things American diplomats and strategists could have done to prevent the current Iraqi slide into authoritarianism and renewed civil war. Behind closed doors, they could have told Mr. Maliki that they did not sacrifice so much blood and treasure just to see a new dictator emerge, especially one who is friendly with Iran. They did not win over Sunni Arab tribes and work with their Sahwa Awakening Councils against al-Qaeda just to see Mr. Maliki’s regime spark a renewed revolt. They did not protect the Kurdish Safe Haven from 1992 to 2003 just to see renewed conflict between the Kurds and Baghdad. After explaining their position to Mr. Maliki, they could make it very clear to him that should he insist on pursuing the path he seems to be on, the United States will support his rivals–including Sunni tribes in Anbar governorate and the Kurds in the north. This threat alone, if credibly made, should be enough to radically change Mr. Maliki’s cost-benefit calculus.




    If the Americans still have interests in Iraq, it is their job to influence Mr. Maliki’s calculus. So far they seem to be doing a miserable job of it.



    Unfortunately, I doubt anything even resembling such a threat was ever made by the Americans. That’s just not the Obama Administration’s style. It’s also probably not the preference of the American diplomatic and intelligence bureaucracies who increasingly direct Iraq policy now that the White House focuses on other issues more closely. Although skilled, very capable and mostly well-meaning public servants run these bureaucracies, they have always shown a preference for the central governments of recognized states, no matter how artificial, repressive and defunct the state in question. One might recall that following World War I, Arabists of the French and British bureaucracies created or helped in the establishment of over twenty Arab states, but they could not see fit to allow even a single Kurdish state. These bureaucracies were also very much against the creation of a single Jewish state, but were overruled by political leaders in Britain and the U.S., as well as the faits accomplits that the Zionists achieved in Palestine. Then, and perhaps still today, there were many more Gertrude Bells, T.E. Lawrences and Ernest Bevins then Edward Noels and Orde Wingates.



    As they did in the past, too often these bureaucracies view the Kurds (or Berbers and Baluchis, for instance) through a lense of double standards. It is of course largely true that the Kurds of yesterday and even today suffer from many divisions, from tribal to religious to political. I don’t understand, however, how this constituted a reason not to support the creation of a single Kurdish state when the Arabs were just as tribal and just as religiously and politically divided. Somehow some rag tag constellation of desert tribes in the Persian/Arab Gulf could get a dozen states just for promising to support the colonialists, but when the Kurds made the same promises they were deemed “not ready or sufficiently unified” for such things.



    The modern version of this story looks only slightly different: From the point of view of these Western bureaucracies, “the Kurdistan Regional Government in Erbil does not really consist of modern institutions. Sectarian, party and tribal loyalties play a more important role than any overarching Kurdish or Kurdistani nationalism and civic identity. The peshmerga are loyal to their party or tribal leaders and have not really been unified under KRG authority. Therefore we really shouldn’t get too close to them or count on them too much,” so the logic goes, “and they’re certainly not ready for real self-determination.” There may be some truth to parts of such an account, but isn’t this always the case for new, developing states, and even many an older state?




    Following World War I, Arabists of the French and British bureaucracies created or helped in the establishment of over twenty Arab states, but they could not see fit to allow even a single Kurdish state.



    What really seems beyond comprehension is the double standard at play here. We could just as easily describe the situation in Arab Iraq [or Syria, or Bahrain, or any number of others] similarly: “Iraq lacks modern institutions. Sectarian, party and tribal loyalties play a more important role than an overarching Iraqi nationalism or civic identity. The army is being built as a kind of praetorian guard directly loyal to the leader rather than to governing institutions. The Prime Minister and his party place only their own people into various ministries and offices, refusing to share power with others. ” Yet somehow the conclusion that follows this observation about politics in Baghdad remains “Therefore we should truly support and remain close to this government.”



    No matter what Mr. Maliki and his government party do, they somehow remain the preferred partner of the people in Washington. No wonder Mr. Maliki turned his back on power sharing in Baghdad, the 2005 Constitution and other promises.

    MP calls to resolve the three presidencies
    Friday, 26 April 2013 14:50

    Shafaq News / A member of the Iraqi parliament of Ahrar bloc affiliated to the Sadrist movement called on Friday to solve the three presidencies in the country to resolve the “sectarian strife” in which he held government of Nuri al –Maliki for its responsibility.

    Violent armed clashes carrying sectarian tendency took place in several provinces since last Tuesday between government forces and Sunni protesters demonstrating for nearly four months against the policies of Maliki’s government.

    “Iraq is passing through a dangerous place and needs a resolution quickly because it may be engaged in sectarian strife and the reason is the irresponsible actions of the government,” Hussein al-Mansouri, MP from Basra told “Shafaq News” .

    Mansouri called to “solve the three presidencies and form new caretaker presidencies,” adding, “the members of the Iraqi parliament must convene an emergency session to take these steps quickly due to what Iraq is going through now”.

    Clashes broke out on Tuesday after a military force stormed protesters Square in Haweeja district in Kirkuk province that left about 50 people dead and dozens wounded.

    Since that time, gunmen launched retaliatory attacks against government forces in Kirkuk and nearby provinces with a Sunni majority as such violence left more than 50 others dead, amid warnings of an outbreak of sectarian violence on a large scale.

    Sunni and Shiite Endowments have submitted an initiative to calm the situation and solve the crisis, but it seems that those efforts did not result in any good results amid calls from senior clerics to carry weapons to defend themselves in facing government forces.
