IRAQ - A Possible Answer?
This Is A Framework To Work With and Improve.
How can American forces, who illegally invaded Iraq, be extricated, without the country descending into a vicious lose/lose civil war that spills over into neighboring states causing regional conflagration?
Possibly the best way is to have the UN ask all countries within the Islamic realm to field lightly armed blue helmeted personel for an alliance of Islamic countries to go into Iraq as peace keepers.
(This paid for by the USA and Britain and proportionately by all other countries who supported this non UN sanctioned incursion.)
With around 51 countries being Islamic with 1.5 billion adherents, a fifth of our planet, this is the time to give them all an opportunity to take care of their own affairs.
The goal is that true Moslem's do not kill Moslem's.
The challenge is to have Shite and Sunny Moslem's working in the spirit of cooperation to bring peace to this area of the world. The aim is to school the Sunny and Shites to co-operate for the good of the community. A big challenge, however one worthy of the higher values of love and chivalry, especially as we all share the same breath.
Shite and Sunny team and language translators / communicators would be with every brigade, battalion, company and platoon. Being a living example of peaceful co existence. No extremist troops would be engaged. Possibly a neutral country can oversee the selection panel and training.
Conflict resolution is a learned system, to be able to reconcile opposing points of view is possible, especially with the correct training, monitoring and ongoing support.
Having Islamic/Arab/Academic think tanks using the latest techniques of peaceful reconciliation can broaden the scope of cooperation. Bringing polarized points together in the spirit of goodwill is achievable.
This will put the Islamic world in the global media spotlight, where they can show the world that Islam is a peaceful religion, dedicated to the brotherhood of man, and (sister hood too).
Yes, there are huge hurdles to surmount however, there are many Moslem's with academic training who should be able to show their communication abilities and bring these threads all together.
With financial support, and a strong will, steps towards resolution can be achieved.
Why is this not been seeded and debated on global TV, Radio and Newsprint media?
Why is the media, not focused on solutions?
Why are the politicians not willing to broach this subject?
Why have the big bloated think tanks in the Western world, not been putting this concept forward? Because they want the oil reserves, even though the burning of oil will cause more Co2 causing climate degradation.
