Some Senate Pilots Plan to Crash Land U.S. Iraq Policy

Senator Levin leads an effort to promote a crash landing for American Iraq policy rather than a controlled landing. The fear of airborne heights managing an international conflict prompts the Senate’s reach the ground at any price as soon as possible policy to an obsessive cavesmanship preference pursuing safety of chthonic grottos. The buzzword justifying the crash landing of Iraq nation rebuilding support policy is ‘sectarian conflict’, as if the Sunni-Shi’a political and ecclesiastical disconformities were some sort of minor flare up between Druids and Manicheans leading to street fighting on some remote island. The Sunni-Shi’a conflict is the primary Middle Eastern non-racial Muslim conflict and it must be addressed in a rational and comprehensive policy approach by the United States as an element of regional political interest.

Senator Levin may seek to create a sudden U.S. withdrawal to permit a bloody Muslim fratricide to develop for some reason, or Senator Levin may simply be so callous politically as to regard the Iraqi Muslims as lives not worth protecting if there is some cost to Americans, and yet Senator Levin and others of his persuasion could believe that because Iraqi sociology is infused with elements of sectarianism political remediation efforts by the United States are not feasible; the United States can control its Iraq policy transition through strength instead of crash landing it through fear and flight. Stabilization of sectarian regions of Iraq within a federal structure as Senator Biden mentioned is still viable policy course alterity, while the more fossil fuel based policies of President Bush also have a chance of bringing about a coalescence of Iraqi domestic political actors and groups into a stablished, working social order at an a priori higher cost.

Senator Levin’s anarchic policy preferences may benefit in theory certain financial considerations of various special interests, yet without creation of a national domestic non-fossil fuel alternative energy policy to bring the people of the United States directly to complete energy independence from globalization the bills generated in the Senate to crash land Iraq policy and walk away to hoard money in the U.S.A. with a current accounts deficit hasn’t much prospect of working.

As I ride a bike mornings along vast lines of foreign made cars parked along city streets, and watch the foreign made cars moving along with foreign produced fossil fuels polluting the environment and destroying polar bear habitat through global warming I wonder how long the United States can last with such head up there a Senate policies that fail to recognize the extreme danger of reliance upon the internal combustion engine-fossil fuel anachronistic axis of debt. A century ago the motor-oil-auto-highway thing was American an upwardly mobile for the nation; now it has been taken over by the world and serves to destroy the nation’s future. Electric cars and home produced recharging power would be the right way for people accustomed to living within their means, but hey-what’s that…just borrow money from China and India, Japan and Saudi Arabia Senator Levin.

It isn’t especially in the interests of the United States to promote a conclusion of the Sunni-Shia schism that commenced with the murder of Ali, Muhammad’s uncle, it is a neutral point that would produced policy ramifications based upon the nature of the unified Muslim religion, neither is it in the interest of the United States to promote Muslim sectarian conflict because of the implicit retarding consequences of war upon social development.

The United States should not overrate the historical political significance of Muhammad’s heretical syncretism. Muhammad’s warriors plundered and rampaged through a North Africa long abandoned by the Romans and Carthaginians and gone over pretty well by the Vandals and other Gothic tribes on their peregrinations. The Muhammadist warriors followed the lead of the vandals in a reverse course and were stopped by Charles Martel in France efficiently considering that the Carolingian Empire had yet to solidify. Fairly rudimentary European forces with the song of Roland and other inspirational examples rolled up the post Umayyad Mohammedan powers inexorably. It would be wrong to say the Muhammadist surge had no salutary consequences…they removed the last elements of paganism from the primitive, underdeveloped and pestilential regions of the equatorial and near-equatorial regions of the Earth, and built a dome on a Temple Mount previously occupied by a horrible Temple of Jupiter as a sort of place holder until the significant events of prophecy would be fulfilled.

U.S. policy in support of a federal Iraq reinforcing sectarian enclaves would provide time for the people of Iraq to develop a unified government that each sect could trust while policing themselves and their own areas in the meantime. A federal Iraq could serve as a buffer between the Shi’a of Iraq and the Sunni of the oil states of the Persian Gulf and Saudi Arabia while purging their midst of the terrorist forces of Al Qaeda. A federated Iraq with a dedication to open democratic government might be a more trustworthy neighbor for Israel and provide a working partner for the United States in moving toward a regional development with environmental and social goals worthy of human beings today. The United States must detach its Middle Eastern policy from the conflict of interest of reliance on fossil fuels for national transportation…that reliance is a vast policy gaff that is definitely a lubricant for downward national mobility. A stupid people of a stupid nation will run up unpayable debts for various reasons and eclipse the light of its own future, America’s economic, political and educational declines with national and current account debts are coefficients of adversity presenting challenges easy to overcome but evidently easier to ignore for politicians owing their souls to the Satan of corporatist globalization.
