  • Colonialism in a Postmodern Age: the West, Arabs and “The Battle of Baghdad”
    Colonialism in a Postmodern Age: the West, Arabs and “the Battle of Baghdad” Professor Mohamad Alkadry Division of Public Administration Eberly College of Arts and Sciences West Virginia University Abstract This article argues that history of western influence and political meddling in Arab countries over the past century has resulted in great tensions between the West and the East. These tensions have contributed to a sense of distrust of the West by Arab peoples. This article first narrates a story of a century-long liberation journey. The article also recommends some policy changes for the United States to take in order to start a process of reconciliation with the Arab peoples. Introduction Two days after American forces entered Baghdad, Arab television stations in countries like Qatar, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon broadcasted images of Iraqi opposition to the new occupation. To the surprise of the American people, American forces were greeted with demonstrations and not celebrations. On several occasions, American soldiers fired live ammunition at demonstrators who were just “liberated” from the brutality of the Iraqi regime. Are these quacks of occupation or liberation? Why are some Iraqis opposed to American presence and influence in Iraq? How could Arabs not appreciate the great fortune (i.e. liberation) the United States had bestowed on them? This article finds in the history of the interaction between the West and the Arab world an answer to these questions. History of western influence and meddling in Arab countries and the relationship between the West and the East over the past century has contributed to a sense of distrust of the West by Arab peoples.

The Seljuqs were a family of the Kïnïk tribe of the Oghuz Turkish people, a tribe which the lexicog- rapher Mahmud¯ al-Kashghar¯ ¯ı(who completed his D¯ıwan¯ lughat¯ al-turk in 1074) describes as the leading, princely tribe of the Oghuz (for the early history of the Oghuz, see above, Chapter 3).1 In the early and middle decades of the tenth century the Oghuz nomadized in the steppes to the north of the Aral Sea and the east of the Caspian Sea, reaching as far west as the Ural and Emba rivers.

Burke Chair in Strategy With the Assistance of: Brian Burton George Sullivan Iskandar Jahja William D. Sullivan Revised, November 28, 2006 Cordesman: Iraqi Force Development 11/28/06 Page ii Executive Summary Iraq is already in a state of at least limited civil war, and may well be escalating to the level of a major civil conflict. What began as a small resistance movement centered on loyalists to the Ba’ath and Saddam Hussein has expanded to include neo-Salafi Sunni terrorism, become a broadly based Sunni insurgency, and now a broader sectarian and ethnic conflict. The current combination of insurgency, Sunni Arab versus Shi’ite Arab sectarian conflict, and Arab versus Kurdish ethnic conflict could easily cause the collapse of the current political structure, leading to a Shi’ite or Shi’ite-Kurdish dominated government, with strong local centers of power, and an ongoing fight with Iraq’s Sunnis. It could escalate to the break up of the country, far more serious ethnic and sectarian conflict, or violent paralysis. It has already led to widespread ethnic cleansing in urban areas by militias and death squads of all three major ethnic and religious groups.

The Battle for Baghdad involved military combat, mass-casualty terrorism, extreme criminality, and communal strife, as well as welfare provision, civic outreach, economic development, and local politics. State and nonstate actors used bullets, bombs, and their ability to control the provision and denial of city services to residents in their attempts to achieve a range of strategic aims. During this battle, the city provided both the location for the conflict and the means to wage it – an arena and an arsenal. This study constructs a theoretical framework for analyzing both the spatial and instrumental aspects of urban environments during conflict, demonstrating how governance operates across networks of physical installations and political institutions.
