Let me remind you <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116090821/http://gorillasguides.blogspot.com/2006/07/suffer-little-children.html" title="Link to posting 'Suffer The Little Children' - new window" class="external" target="_blank">of some</a> of the dangers faced by children in Iraq:</p> <p>&#8220;45. Children remained victims in Iraq in many ways. Although not necessarily targeted, they are killed or maimed in sectarian-motivated attacks and in terrorist and insurgency acts. They are civilian casualties in MNF-I and Iraqi security forces-led raids against insurgents or militias, and suffer the most from other political, social and economic consequences of Iraqi&#8217;s violent daily reality. The extent of violence in areas other than the Region of Kurdistan is such that likely every child, to some degree, has been exposed to it. Children suffering disabilities have also been unable to access adequate care and education. … … …</p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116090821im_/http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5613/1565/1600/20060728_family_baghdad_children_play_armed_father_0.jpg" alt="Children in Baghdad Play Under The Watchful Eye of Their Father." height="254" width="379"/>47. In one case the body of a 12-year-old Osama was reportedly found by the Iraqi Police in a plastic bag after his family paid a ransom of some 30,000 US dollars. The boy had been sexually assaulted by the kidnappers, before being hanged by his own clothing. The police captured members of this gang who confessed of raping and killing many boys and girls before Osama. … … …</p> <p>53. Additional hardship for families and children is caused by the lack of adequate places to socialize, play and learn as would be necessary for their healthy development. Many Iraqis complain of having to keep their children at home for prolonged periods of time.&#8221;</p> <p>or <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116090821/http://gorillasguides.blogspot.com/2006/05/12-years-old-hauled-off-street-whipped.html" title="Link to report of the kidnapping, torture, and murder of 12 year old boy Hani Saadoun" class="external" target="_blank">this</a> report of how Hani Saadoun was killed:</p> <p>&#8220;12 years old &#8211; hauled off the street whipped with electric cables, violated with an electric drill, shot, body dragged through the streets.&#8221;</p> <p>One of the constant themes I hear from friends still living in Iraq is the effect of the constant violence upon their children and their fury at the damage being done to their children. They have to balance between keeping their children locked up lest they fall victim to a bombing, a shooting, or worse, and the need every child has to get out and play. The photograph shows part of an increasingly common solution. These Baghdadi children are playing just outside their front door. The hand holding the gun is that of their father. Iraq is a heavily urbanised society and increasingly an arms-bearing one. A generation of children are growing up with the idea that it is necessary to be armed and to be prepared to kill. A generation of parents are buying guns &#8211; and they know who they blame for collapsing their society thereby creating the appallingly dangerous environment in which their children are growing up. They blame the Americans, the people who created that environment. It&#8217;s a good reason to hate somebody, putting your children in danger, a very good reason.</p> <p>markfromireland</p> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix" id="post-327"> <div class="postmetadata"><span class="comments"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116090821/http://gorillasguides.com/2006/07/28/there-may-be-a-cabinet-reshuffle-and-trouble-ahead/#respond" title="Comment on There May Be A Cabinet Reshuffle (And Trouble) Ahead">No Comments</a></span> Posted on July 28th, 2006 by markfromireland</div> <h3><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116090821/http://gorillasguides.com/2006/07/28/there-may-be-a-cabinet-reshuffle-and-trouble-ahead/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to There May Be A Cabinet Reshuffle (And Trouble) Ahead">There May Be A Cabinet Reshuffle (And Trouble) Ahead</a></h3> <p class="postmetadata">Category: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116090821/http://gorillasguides.com/category/iraq/" title="View all posts in News" rel="category tag">News</a>, Tags: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116090821/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/previous-site/" rel="tag">Previous Site</a></p> <div class="entry" dir="rtl" align="right"> <div><strong>Background Information Al-Sabah Al-Jadeed:</p> <p></strong> Al-Sabah Al-Jadeed ( the name means &#8220;The New Morning&#8221;) Was founded in 2004 the day after the entire Al-Sabah (The Morning) staff walked out of their jobs. Al-Sabah was financed by American company Harris which opposed the paper&#8217;s independence. Four weeks after the new paper was established there was an unsuccessful attempt to kidnap chief editor Ismael Zayer in which his bodyguard and chauffeur died. Guns are very much in evidence in the paper&#8217;s offices ever since.</p> <p>It&#8217;s a good paper that struggles hard to be independent. They&#8217;ve got very high standards and often get scoops and leaks. It published an exhaustive series of articles during the constitutional process, has a vibrant culture section, and the editorials tend to be pretty good. They have a small English section which you can find <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116090821/http://www.newsabah.com/site.php?file=http://www.newsabah.com/English.html" title="Link to Al-Sabah Al-Jadeed's English section.

I&#8217;ve admired them for their accomplishments &#8212; building a flourishing state out of almost nothing. I&#8217;ve hated them for their systematic dispossession of the Palestinians &#8212; even as they smugly congratulated themselves for being the Middle East&#8217;s only &#8220;democracy.&#8221; I&#8217;ve pitied them for the cruel fate history inflicted on the Jewish diaspora, respected them for their boldness and daring, honored them for their cultural and intellectual achievements. But the one thing I&#8217;ve never felt, at least up until now, is contempt.</p> <p>But that is what I&#8217;m feeling now. The military and political leaders of the Jewish state are doing and saying things that go way beyond the blustering arrogance of a powerful nation at war. Not to put too fine a point on it, but they are behaving like a gang of miltaristic thugs &#8212; whose reply to any criticism or reproach is an expletive deleted and the smash of an iron fist.</p> <p>[snip]</p> <p>And now a proposal to turn all of southern Lebanon into a free fire zone.</p> <p>This all might be considered normal military behavior for, oh say, a Bosnian Serb militia captain, circa 1991, but when the political and military leaders of an allegedly civilized state start talking this way, something big is going on, and going wrong. The dehumanization of the enemy (much of the Israeli press routinely uses the word &#8220;terrorist&#8221; to refer to any Hizbullah fighter or Palestinian militant) and the rage and humiliation at not being able to stop the rain of rockets falling on northern Israel, are combining to knock the props out from under whatever remains of Israel&#8217;s claim to be different from, and morally superior to, its enemies.</p> <p>The Israeli national persona has always had a macho swagger to it (it&#8217;s part of the rationale for the state &#8212; that Jews should be able to act like &#8220;normal&#8221; masculine hyperpatriots everywhere) but what we&#8217;re seeing now is something different. It has a nasty edge of hysteria to it, a compulsive need to prove to the Arabs, and the world, that Israel still can and will stomp on anyone who gets in its way. The fact that Hizbullah is now demonstrating the limits of Israeli power &#8212; or rather, the limits on how much Jewish blood Israel is willing to spend to exercise that power &#8212; is only making matters worse. The Israeli leadership elite is starting to sound like the semen-crusted violence addicts at Little Green Footballs. Given how much real violence the generals and politicians can inflict, that&#8217;s a sobering thought, to say the least.</p> <p>Combine this with an enormous sense of historic grievance (&#8221;Serbs will never be beaten again!&#8221; &#8220;The Versailles Treaty has shamed the Fatherland!&#8221;) and a gnawing fear of encirclement, and you&#8217;ve got all the ingredients for a catastrophe, of the kind that could leave the Israelis, and their American patrons, up to their necks in blood &#8212; of the innocent and the guilty alike.Combine this with an enormous sense of historic grievance (&#8221;Serbs will never be beaten again!&#8221; &#8220;The Versailles Treaty has shamed the Fatherland!&#8221;) and a gnawing fear of encirclement, and you&#8217;ve got all the ingredients for a catastrophe, of the kind that could leave the Israelis, and their American patrons, up to their necks in blood &#8212; of the innocent and the guilty alike.</p> <p>[snip]</p> <p>If there&#8217;s one thing that should be obvious from this God awful tragedy in the making, it&#8217;s that history has a savage sense of irony &#8212; cruel and pitiless almost beyond belief. That Israel, haven to Holocaust survivors, should find itself in this situation, and respond to it in this way, is enough to make the very walls of Jerusalem weep. As I weep now.</p> <p>His posting is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116090821/http://billmon.org/archives/002581.html" title="Link to 'A Blight Unto the Nations' - opens in new window" class="external" target="_blank">&#8220;A Blight Unto the Nations</a> it&#8217;s well worth your while reading the whole thing and following his links.</p> <p>I want to add one technical point. The Israeli artillery are technically superb. I&#8217;ve seen them in action repeatedly. They&#8217;re good, they&#8217;re very good, at what they do. They knew precisely where the UN observtion post was and hit it anyway. The excuse that this was a &#8220;mistake&#8221; simply won&#8217;t wash.

Note Ramon&#8217;s branch of service. Like Donald Rumsfeld he&#8217;s an Air Force man in Ramon&#8217;s case he never made it beyond captain. Not a particularly impressive record. This is what he had to say today on Israeli Army Radio:</p> <blockquote><p> &#8220;We received yesterday in the Rome conference permission, in effect, from the world, part of it gritting its teeth and part of it granting its blessing, to continue the operation, this war, until Hezbollah&#8217;s presence is erased in Lebanon and it is disarmed,&#8221; <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116090821/http://www.irishexaminer.com/breaking/story.asp?j=4044015&amp;p=4x44x3x&amp;n=4044107&amp;x=" title="irish Examiner - new window" class="external" target="_blank">Source</a> </p></blockquote> <p>But that&#8217;s not all he this charming gentleman said, he said much more. He said that Israel had given more than enough warning to the civilians living in South Lebanon to leave and that:</p> <blockquote><p>&#8220;All those now in south Lebanon are terrorists who are related in some way to Hezbollah,&#8221; <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116090821/http://www.irishexaminer.com/breaking/story.asp?j=190331952&amp;p=y9x33z658&amp;n=190332712" title="Irish examiner new window" class="external" target="_blank">Source</a></p></blockquote> <p>That would of course include all those women, children, and other civilians who <strong><em>can&#8217;t</em></strong> get out of Southern Lebanon because Israel has bombed all the roads and bridges. As well as bombing refugee convoys and ambulances and UN positions of course. How long do we have to wait before we can openly call this man and his colleagues terrorists bent on mass murder of civilians? At what point does the rest of the world turn round to his American paymasters and tell them that their hands are dripping with the blood of women and children? At what point is it going to occur to the American and Israeli peoples that they are going to reap what this man has just announced they are going to sow?</p> <p>At what point can we say &#8220;Israel Is A Terrorist State?&#8221; Now, we can say it now. This man has announced a terrorist campaign. He&#8217;s the minister for justice. He&#8217;s close to the prime minister. We can and should say it now.</p> <blockquote><p>&#8220;Israel is a terrorist state.&#8221;</p></blockquote> <p>markfromireland</p> <p><strong>Notes: *</strong>The Kahan commission was headed by the then President of the Israel&#8217;s Supreme Court, Yitzhak Kahan.

In particular this statement by Grand Ayatollah Bashir al-Najafi is ominous:</p> <blockquote><p>&#8220;We fear the coming of a day when we cannot restrain a revolution of the people, with all its unsavory consequences.&#8221;</p></blockquote> <p>Al-Najafi is often thought to be second most important of the four Grand Ayatollahs living in Najaf with Grand Ayatollah Al-Sistani being &#8220;<em>primus inter pares</em>&#8221; (the fifth Grand Ayatollah Kazem al-Hairi lives in Iran.) Al-Najafi&#8217;s office would not under any circumstances have issued that statement unless the Grand Ayatollahs (who act collegially) were of the opinion that their ability to restrain their followers was slipping. Please note the <em>scale</em> of the attacks.</p> <p>I also expect today to be dire in Baghdad.</p> <p>Why do I expect today to be dire? Because yesterday night there was heavy fighting on Haifa Street. Why is Haifa Street important? Well if you look at a map of Baghdad it&#8217;s the big street pointing like a dagger right into the heart of the green zone. It&#8217;s been &#8220;pacified&#8221; oh a couple of hundred times by now. At the time of writing (just gone 11 a.m my time) the death toll in Baghdad from what seems to be a particularly well coordinated set of combined mortar/bombing attacks is at least 25 including children and rising. I wonder will the Syrians give al-Maliki political asylum again … … … maybe, if Dubya asks them <em>really nicely</em>. That&#8217;s if he stumps up their price for extracting his buddy Olmert from Lebanon of course … … … Oh by the way the movement of more American <del>hostages</del> <del>body bag occupants</del> soldiers ordered by the <del>Cheney</del> Bush administration is well underway.
