Does The Scribe support a
U.S. pre-emptive strike on Iraq?
As an American of paternal Iraqi Jewish
descent, I do not. I fear that the current American
administration is following a reckless course and
threatening to destabilise the Middle East even
further.
However, I am interested to know the position of
the Scribe.
Thank you.

We believe that the whole region of the Middle East
needs re-organisation. Too much was given to the
Arabs at the expense of all the other minorities
including the Jews, the Kurds, the Turkomen, the
Druze, the Maronite Christians, the Assyrians, etc.
A complete re-organisation is long overdue.
President Bush is well aware of this
situation and his invasion of Iraq is the first
step to put the Middle East in order. Arab/Israeli
conflict can only be solved after the pacification
of Iraq.
History, since the time of Nebuchadnezzar,
has demonstrated that there can be no peace for
Israel unless Iraq is brought under control. What
Bush is doing is to reinvent the old Ottoman Empire
except that now it will be called the new American
Empire.
