Possible Iraq Solution
Iraq
has practically become the paradise of terrorists. It has all
happened after United States invaded Iraq. During last three and
half years, half a million Iraqis and 3 thousand American
soldiers have lost their lives. Still there is no end in sight.
UK and US governments are trying to approach
Iran and Syria for making some sort of arrangements to stabilize
situation in Iraq. There is no obvious reason, why Iran and
Syria should cooperate with United States to calm down things in
Iraq? Both Iran and Syria would rather see US bleed in Iraq
instead of getting an easy exit. Therefore, it will be a futile
effort on the part of UK and United States to approach Iran and
Syria for this purpose.
So, what should be done? Is there any
possible solution to complex Iraqi problem?
There are no easy options for Iraqis and for
the United States. However, if US and Iraq’s current regime
like, certain steps can be taken to avert the insurgency,
lawlessness and violence.
Here is one possible solution if United
States and Iraqi regime like to try it.
First thing, President Bush has constantly
stated that he cannot give any timetable for pullout of US
forces.
He should not make any statement about
pullout, but he should give a clear-cut pullout timetable to Mr.
Maliki.
Without making any media statement, Mr.
Maliki should arrange a meeting with the leaders of all know
insurgent groups, and he should try to convince them for a
ceasefire on the condition that if they stop violence in Iraq,
US forces will pullout of Iraq. Both insurgent leaders and US
should agree to a timetable for maintenance of peace in Iraq and
pullout of US forces.
During the first phase, say one month’s
period from a certain date, insurgent leaders should guarantee
peace in Iraq, and a certain number of US troops should move to
Kuwait. Then insurgents should maintain peace for another month
and certain number of US troops should move to Kuwait or to some
other US base.
We know the situation in Iraq is pretty bad
and no one really has things in his control, but there must be
some people in Iraq who Mr. Maliki can use to arrange such
meeting with insurgent leaders.
By adopting
this strategy, Iraq may become peaceful and US end its
obligation fairly quickly
