We are on the verge of an absolute chaos that will not only engulf Iraq but the whole area and maybe the whole world…it seems that really bad things are going to happen unless wise choices are made and the problem with those crisis that they are overlapping so resolving a single issue will not resolve the whole problem so I don't really know where to start!! But I'll start with the nearest thing to me.
After the government raised the salaries of the governmental employees to a reasonable salary for the first time since the 70s and the prices started skyrocketing and many Iraqis who lived in neighboring countries decided to get back after the slight improvement in security and the new salary or at least regarding sectarian violence, some people even started to see a light at the end of the tunnel and I wasn't among those, the government decided or let's say remembered that Iraqis shouldn't live as people of the world lives…something must be done to cover that light and keep them in the dark, they decided that Iraqis shouldn't be in good conditions otherwise they might raise against them and they are ready to kill their own children to keep the position they hold because there is nothing in the world that will allow them to steal such amounts of money, even if they became bank robbers in a country with no police!
They decided to lower the salary they said that we will receive it as back payments at the beginning of the next year! Although many people believed they will receive it and I believe too but I can't believe they will give it at the time they said they will because they never did that…. they gave many vague reasons for doing so, some said that it's because an order from the international money fund and some said it's because Iraq don't have money!!!!! Specially after the fall in the prices of oil, I can believe everything but I can't believe that Iraq don't have money to pay the salaries of its employees, we aren't Somalia, the prices of oil is almost the same as it was last year and the excess in the balances of the ministries were frightening numbers, so where did and does all that money goes? A very simple answer that all of us knows. till now it's OK, so what if the back payments got delayed we will get it eventually and that's when the other sides of the story were cleared…it linked to the other issue which is the security deal between Iraq and USA…if Iraq didn't sign the deal then all the money Iraq have in the foreign countries will be gone! I didn't understand why despite the efforts and searches I did for a legal reason (if anyone knows please say it in the comments) so what will happen? As the minister of finance said; if Iraq didn't sign the deal and the money Iraq owns in other countries is gone then I'll have to take hard decisions (hinting to lower the salary even more)…
So let's take the security deal issue…the politicians of what is called the "Iraqi" government are divided between the ones who wants to sign the deal and the ones who don't and on the head of the ones who don't is the prime minister N.Almaliki and his party for reasons that isn't a secret to anyone, they are loyal to Iran and do what Tahran wants, they are looking for the good and benefits of Iran before Iraq and they are claiming that they don't want it because they don't want to give the US soldiers an immunity! While everybody knows the US soldiers have immunity whether they signed it or not…they say that they want the US troops to leave Iraq so that Iraq can be free while they were the ones who called them in and ignoring the minister of defense who says that Iraq isn't ready to protect his self from the dangerous of the inside and outside and he is so right in that in my opinion, if the smallest army of the smallest country attacked Iraq how can the army protect the land? By AKs and humvees? Because that's all what we got, oh sorry we have the Chevrolet pickups too…well, some says that the security situation is a bit stable so what about the people who are in the US jails that have been captured throughout the last five years, some are innocent and some are criminals and terrorists, what will happen to them? They will be released when the US troops leaves…I can't even imagine what will happen when all those are released into the streets…so what is the real reason behind the rejection of the deal, it's because they want Iran to take over things in Iraq more than they are taking now…we will be occupied by Iran; how lovely! And sure thing Turkey will not stand still and we will be between two fires…in fact, we will be between countless fires, AQ from one side and the other Islamic fanatics, Muqtada and Jam are getting ready to seize the chance when things gets out of control and they already started demonstrating against the security deal and so many parties that I'll need so much space to mention them all. So what about the war against terrorism? Is it over? Will it ever end? They made Iraq a war zone to fight terrorism and they made Iraq an academy for terrorism and if they leave the terrorism business will be the greatest…so will US really leaves or it's just a political play and a way to apply pressure? On the other hand we have the global financial crisis and the crisis in the gulf countries accompanying the crisis of the security deal and the complications that might follow it…it seems that the world is getting into an even darker phase in the history of mankind.
P.S.: Thanks to the guys who were worried about me and asked if I was OK or not....I'm OK thank god and I'm sure I haven't posted anything for along time but that was because I kind of lost my muse in that period and I had a sever flu...thank you guys for your concern.
