Plan Z for Iraq

"Plan Z" sounds like something out of an Ed Wood movie, and is just as enticing, argues Jewcy contributor Stephen Schwartz:

Etzioni has suggested that in Iraq the U.S. should "separate both warring parties without 'tilting' towards one or the other." This merely recapitulates the false policy of moral equivalence pursued by Europe in reaction to the Yugoslav wars, especially in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Failure to recognize responsibility for aggression and terrorism rewards aggression and terrorism. Serbs attacked Bosnia-Herzegovina. Bosnians did not attack Serbia. Sunni terrorism is the main problem in Iraq now, and is supported by Wahhabi extremists in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere. When Sunni terrorists die in Iraq, their pictures and biographies appear in Saudi media. Notwithstanding Iranian assistance to and incitement of the Shia militias, to suggest moral equivalency between the Sunni terrorists and the Shia majority is to send the wrong message to the mainly-Shia Iraqi government and people: that the United States is prepared to abandon them. It is also the wrong message to send to Sunni radicals: that the U.S. is ready to placate them.

  • We would like to thank you just as before for the gorgeous ideas you offered Janet when preparing her post-graduate research as well as, most importantly, pertaining to providing each of the ideas in a blog post. Provided that we had been aware of your website a year ago, we’d have been saved the unnecessary measures we were having to take. Thank you very much.
