Mary B Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Close the embassy and the war decision September 29, 2020 7 Dr.. Fatih Abdul Salam The bitter experience of the attack on the American embassy in Tripoli and the killing of the ambassador from mixed militias after the fall of the Gaddafi regime in Libya is still fresh and fresh in the minds of the Americans and their calculations. Based on this obsession, the Americans expect that anything will happen in Iraq, which includes disciplined and uncontrolled militias many times greater than what is found in Libya. But there are some basic differences, including that the US experience in Iraq has become well established, as well as the presence of forces, preparations, and fortifications. Nevertheless, Washington went to one of the last options through what was reported about its intention to close the embassy in the Green Zone, which is not an ordinary-sized and equipped embassy, and the cost of its construction was close to six hundred million dollars, in addition to that it led the process of establishing a new political system in Iraq after 2003. This means a lot in accurate accounts and inventory bill payments. The decision to close the US embassy is not a joke that passes by, this is one of the major war decisions. What happened between Iraq and Iran in the war of one million dead in eight years did not prevent the two embassies between the two warring countries from being open. Imagine the magnitude of the closure, if it actually took place. There are no less than a dozen foreign embassies in Baghdad that depend on securing their security situation indirectly on the American Marines who protect the Washington embassy, as in times of crises, attacks and wars, foreign embassies protect each other in search of safe evacuation for citizens, employees and diplomats, especially if this happens. In Iraq, who failed to protect them from their point of view at the time of the evacuation. It is an approach to describing a real disaster, which Iraq did not go through before, even during the time of the former regime. Do you realize that the political forces that spent eighteen miserable years in liquidations, disputes and wasting the country's energies through negligence or corruption? Doesn't the description of the recurring kidnapping of Iraq, its people and its wealth, and throwing it into a thicket of darkness, from which it will only emerge after exhausting what remains intact until now? Simply put, the picture is closer to you. The implementation of the decision to close foreign embassies and missions means that Iraq no longer bears the status of a country in which the world trusts, and it is closer to the law of the jungle than to the context of international relations and charters, and that is the end if you know. https://www.azzaman.com/اغلاق-السفارة-وقرار-الحرب/ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
