  • An Interview with Kanan Makiya (Part 2)
    Putting Cruelty First: An Interview with Kanan Makiya (Part 2) Kanan Makiya is the Sylvia K. Hassenfeld Professor of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies at Brandeis University, and the President of The Iraq Memory Foundation. His books, The Republic of Fear: Inside Saddam’s Iraq (1989, written as Samir al- Khalil) and Cruelty and Silence: War, Tyranny, Uprising and the Arab World (1993) are classic texts on the nature of totalitarianism. Makiya has also collaborated on films for television. The award-winning film, Saddam’s Killing Fields, exposed the Anfal, the campaign of mass murder conducted by the Ba’ath regime in northern Iraq in 1988. In October 1992, he acted as the convenor of the Human Rights Committee of the Iraqi National Congress. He was part of the Iraqi Opposition in the run-up to the Iraq War, which he supported as a war of liberation. The interview took place on December 16 2005. Part 1 appeared in Democratiya 3. The Iraq War Alan Johnson: In the run-up to the Iraq war few radical democrats were as close to the centres of decision-making as you, or more privy to the crucial debates. Few are in a better position to draw lessons. Can we begin in June 2002 when you are approached by the State Department and asked to participate in the Future of Iraq project? Initially you had a big clash with the State Department over the very terms of the project and of your involvement, right? What was at stake? Kanan Makiya: When I was approached I was aware events were heading towards war.

  • The Iraqi National Museum of Modern Art: Journey of Destruction
    The Iraqi National Museum of Modern Art: Journey of Destruction By Ali I. al-Dulaimi Region: Middle East & North Africa Global Research, May 22, 2019 Theme: History In-depth Report: IRAQ REPORT A glimpse of the plastic arts in Iraq The contemporary Iraqi plastic art is considered to be the legitimate heir of the ancient Iraqi civilizations of Sumer and Babylon. Relics have beem found indicating that the Iraqi craftsman is the first artist in the world. He is the one who creates and produces such beautiful household pottery pieces for functional purposes for eating, drinking and other daily uses. The Baghdad School of Art of Illustration was founded by Iraqi artist Yahya bin Mahmoud bin Yahya bin Abi al-Hassan al-Wasiti who laid down its pillars. Al-Wasiti lived in the seventh Hijri century and is considered to be at the forefront of Arab and Islamic creativity scene where the Islamic art of illustration could be straightened and become competitive. Then this School spread from Mesopotamia to all other Islamic countries. Al-Wasiti inspired others with his miniature manuscripts on which he painted topics and narrative facts from the collections of al-Hariri which were written by Abu Muhammad al-Qasim bin Ali bin Othman al-Basri, famous as “al-Hariri”. These collections are considered to be among the Arabic literary masterpieces due to their richness of material, accuracy of observation and unique imagination. Artist al-Wasiti completed illustrating and scripting these collections in 634 A.H./1237 A.D., and they are now treasured at several international museums and libraries.

  • Re-Colonizing Iraq
    tariq ali Editorial RE-COLONIZING IRAQ n 15 February 2003, over eight million people marched on the streets of five continents against a war that had not yet Obegun. This first truly global mobilization—unprecedented in size, scope or scale—sought to head off the occupation of Iraq being plotted in the Pentagon. The turnout in Western Europe broke all records: three million in Rome, two million in Spain, a million and a half in London, half a million in Berlin, over a hundred thousand in Paris, Brussels and Athens. In Istanbul, where the local authorities vetoed a protest march in the name of ‘national security’, the peace movement called a press conference to denounce the ban—to which ten thousand ‘journalists’ turned up. In the United States there were mass demonstrations in New York, San Francisco, Chicago and la and smaller assemblies in virtually every state capital: over a million people in all. Another half a million marched in Canada. The antipodean wing of the movement assembled 500,000 in Sydney and 250,000 in Melbourne. On 21 March, as British and American forces headed across the Iraqi border, the long quiescent Arab street, inspired by these global protests, came to life with spontaneous mass demonstrations in Cairo, Sanaa and Amman. In Egypt, the mercenary regime of Hosni Mubarak panicked and arrested over 800 people, some of whom were viciously maltreated in prison. In the Yemen, over 30,000 people marched against the war; a sizeable contingent made for the us Embassy and had to be stopped with bullets.

  • 4. Saddam As Hitler
    Hoover Classics : Berman hcberman ch4 Mp_97 rev0 page 97 4. Saddam as Hitler anti-americanism has multiple dimensions. After ex- amining the German data in chapter 1, in chapter 2 we explored several cultural and historical variants of anti- Americanism: first, an antimodern, predemocratic tra- dition; second, the legacy of communist ideology; and third, a contemporary, postdemocratic hostility to na- tional sovereignty as such. Each version pushes anti- Americanism in a different direction. Chapter 3 looked at the tension between fantasy and reality in anti-Amer- icanism, its ideological standing, and the role that anti- Americanism plays in the definition of an emerging identity for unified Europe. It is, however, obvious that current anti-Americanism has erupted in relation to the two Iraq wars. Although the various discourses of anti- Americanism refer to many issues, both political and cultural, it was clearly the confrontation between Wash- ington and Baghdad that fueled the anger of the Euro- pean street. Anti-Americans denounce the United States largely because it deposed Saddam Hussein. The first Iraq war was fought to end the Iraqi oc- cupation of Kuwait. The second Iraq war was fought to end the Iraqi regime. Both wars, however, were fought in terms of a metaphor: Saddam as Hitler. As this chap- Hoover Classics : Berman hcberman ch4 Mp_98 rev0 page 98 98 Anti-Americanism in Europe ter will show, the terms of the metaphor shifted over time. At first the analogy had the narrow meaning of pointing out the unprovoked annexation of foreign ter- ritory: just as Hitler had invaded Czechoslovakia, Sad- dam had swallowed Kuwait, both transgressions against internationally recognized borders.

  • Islam-Makiya
    Foreign Policy Research Institute E-Note A Catalyst for Ideas Distributed Exclusively via Fax & Email June 2006 IRAQ’S DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS by Kanan Makiya In the run-up to the Iraq war, many of us reasoned that if a successful democracy took root, then this just might establish a model that would replicate itself throughout the region, forever altering the currently highly negative image that the Arab and Muslim world has of the U.S. After all, Iraq is an overwhelmingly Muslim country, and one in which the U.S. government has invested a great deal of human and material resources. This thesis, however, has taken some hard knocks, as democratization in Iraq has so far translated only into elections, not the rule of law. Meanwhile, levels of violence have been rising, not falling in Iraq since 2003, reinforcing the false idea held by some Iraqis that democracy is in the end a form of anarchy. The escalation of violence has been particularly significant since the Askariya shrine in Samarra was blown up in late February 2006, an action that marks the success of efforts to undermine the enthusiasm that lay behind the historic vote of December 2005. What has gone wrong with the democratic project in Iraq, and is it possible to recover the ground lost to the rising levels of sectarian violence? To begin, I will consider the security situation. The violence largely affects 4 out of 18 provinces in Iraq, and not the country as a whole. Unfortunately, Baghdad is in one of those four provinces, which are among the most mixed in terms of ethnic and confessional identities.

  • Who Speaks for the Iraqi People?
    Wadood Hamad Who Speaks for the Iraqi People? by Wadood Hamad I early nine decades after Britain recast the map of Iraq, installed a group Nof ex-Ottoman officers and Arab-Sunni landowners with a Hijazi emir at the helm to rule over Iraq’s people, the U.S., with Britain playing a supporting role, has choreographed a meeting, in wintry London in mid December 2002, of a hodge-podge group of Iraqi self-proclaimed liberals, politico-religious figures, ex-Ba’athists, and ex-high ranking security and military personnel to serve as the new epiphany to perpetuate a century-old script, once U.S.-U.K. jetfighters and bombers rain hell over the hapless inhabitants of Iraq: exogenous, hierarchical reign grounded in ethno-sectarian chauvinism and wedded to varying forms and intensities of repression. Now as then, the enlisted group cries for an Iraq different from the prevalent downtrodden one and claims that invading armies are coming to the aid of the helpless populace. It is almost an identical reproduction of various episodes in history: a (necessarily) new cast and minor change to the montage, but with novel methods for executing the plot—after all it is the 21st century. One further significant difference, though. The Shiite religious establishment at the turn of the twentieth century had the foresight and resolve to recognize the true motives of the British occupiers, and had thus raised encompassing and inclusive slogans for the liberation of Iraq from foreign control/influence, and called for independence and indigenous self- rule. Their 21st century imposters (al-Hakeem et al., see below) pledge unmitigated subservience to power—in all its manifestations.
