Click the magnifying glass to read more: More than five million dollars has claimed the war in Iraq, which has killed thousands of civilians and soldiers. Civilians have resisted the invasion and purpose of the great economic and military powers to seize the oil of that country remains frustrated. Raimundo Kabchi internationalists and Luis Quintana analyze the situation in that country, five years invasion.

The March 20, 2003 United States (U.S.) with the group of countries, known as the group of the coalition, composed of Spain, England, Portugal and France among others, initiated the war against the people of Iraq. These countries justified their actions under the assumptions that the "regime of Saddam Hussein developed a program of chemical and biological weapons, while maintaining a close relationship with the terrorist group Al Qaeda, making him a danger to its neighbors and the West.
A war that was planned for about 21 days has been extended for five years. The death toll varies according to the organization that disclosed. Iraq Body Count and The Lancet are the most published figures. Lancet
firm in its latest report indicates that 600 000 civilians have died, 400 U.S. soldiers and 170 thousand British soldiers. Meanwhile, Iraq Body Count said that civilian deaths are between 82 thousand and 152 thousand.
For its part, the World Health Organization (WHO) reveals dramatic details about the general situation of the Iraqis. In 2006 the WHO was concerned in a report which describes the following situation: a daily average of 100 people were killed and many more seriously injured as a result of gunshots, shrapnel and burns. "
That same report states that 80% of the population having access to effective sanitation, 40% of people can not enjoy the public distribution system for food. Diarrhoea and acute respiratory infections, exacerbated by high levels of malnutrition, are the cause of death for two-thirds of children under 5 years.
WHO cites figures from the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which indicate that about 2 million Iraqis are displaced internally and up to 2 million left the country. The displaced have moved to neighboring countries, complicating the health situation in the region.
preventive war: the excuse to invade
After September 11, 2001, when there was the attack on the "Twin Towers", the U.S. government launched a security strategy called preventive war. This is a military strike against a target (country or group of countries) considered threats. Of a possible attack or an imminent invasion, real or not, power attacks first. This occurred in Iraq ruled by Saddam Hussein.
After the September 11, Iraq, Iran and North Korea became part of what the U.S. called the "axis of evil", was how Iraq was a threat to its neighbors and for humanity in general .
Before the supposed nuclear weapons development by the government of Iraq, the powers sought to revive UN inspections of its nuclear program is country.
On November 8, 2002 the Security Council issued resolution 1441 which demands that the Iraqi government to fully respect the terms of the resolution and to cooperate immediately, unconditionally and actively with the inspection process. Saddam Hussein
accepted without conditions as requested by the resolution. Han Blix, chairman of the Commission of the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC), said in a report by March 9, 2003 that "the statement repeats the information that no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and that there is no evidence to present. "
UN reports were not accepted, President George Bush argued that his government had evidence of chemical and biological weapons, which were obtained through the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The then President of Spain Jose Maria Aznar and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, supported him in his decision to disarm Iraq by military means.
On March 17, 2003 give an ultimatum to Hussein 48 hours to leave the country with his family, Saddam refused and the Security Council withdrew the inspectors. The March 20 bombing started.
Energy resources are the reason for the war
The internationalist Luis Quintana said that the real objective of the invasion of Iraq was to seize its vast oil reserves. "U.S. imperial expansion project at the global level, has provided the usurpation of strategic natural resources of countries, under this concept program for the entire decade of the nineties, military intervention, economic and cultural policy permanently. "
The administration of President George Bush has acknowledged that all premises who argued for invading Iraq were and still are false. Months before the attacks, the government with support from the media created a favorable public opinion, based on the strategy of panic. Quintana said that "this policy remains, but war costs in terms of human lives and financial terms are not yet effective as 60 percent of the population is against the continuance of the troops in Iraq. "
internationalist Counsel Raymond Quintana Chabchi match saying that" before the oil shortage becomes more severe the need for the rule to control the world's reserves. "
also states that "weapons of mass destruction were a story, they are saying the latest reports emanating from the relevant U.S. authorities. They also determined that Saddam had no connection with Al Qaeda ", he said.
Kabchi, who is knowledgeable about Middle Eastern issues, he recalled that the U.S. have indeed had close relationship with Osama Bin Lademan, leader of al Qaeda. "The U.S. made a great leader Bin Lademan as a role model for young Muslims to fight against the Iranian revolution. This man then was active in a group known as the Mudjahidin, and served the American interests in the war in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation of that country. " According
Kabchi "where there is a country with oil is a problem, and behind the problem is U.S. For one example: Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Indonesia, Algeria, Libya, Nigeria and, why not say, Venezuela."
The war failed to
When resistance to coalition countries are collapsed the main arguments for the invasion, justified the continuance of the war saying that Hussein was a dictator and had to free the Iraqi people from the tyranny of the regime. They also pledged to give better life to citizens, and finally promised to rebuild the country shattered by missiles and tanks.
Quintana says the failure of the invasion are several reasons but the main one being the Iraqis rejected any form of taxation. "The idea of \u200b\u200bfreedom and democracy behind the neoconservative discourse is a democracy that only adapts to the circumstances of the USA, and can not be projected on an idea of \u200b\u200buniversal value because that democracy has a cultural context related to its development as a power. You can not expect universal idea of \u200b\u200bdemocracy that is also quite narrow and has a liberal. For a people like the Iraqi, who has a history and a different culture, you can not impose overnight the scheme of social and political organization that has nothing to do with them. "
For its part, Raimundo Kabchi asserts that the Iraqis have promised a democratic life "I wonder, under the boots of the invader can be no democracy?, democracy is not just going one day to cast a ballot in a box. You have freedom in the broad conception of the word. And there is no democracy. " Quintana
resistance described as armed and cultural Iraqis "are reluctant to impose power consumption patterns, production and social and political organization that looks nothing like them. Iraqi resistance should be taken as a benchmark of what they are capable of doing the people. "
"The project of controlling the reserves, production and export of crude oil has been effective precisely because they have control over security, a demonstration is which has increased the number of troops, because they have been gradually losing control, their objectives have been or will be met, "said Quintana.
Investment in the U.S. war
the war began sending 158 000 troops, Britain 4 000 100, Georgia 2 000, Poland 900, South Korea 600, Australia 550, Romania 498, El Salvador 380 and Denmark 100 . Also had all the sophisticated weapons such as: 800 M1 Abrams tanks, fighter aircraft like the Jaguar and Harrier, warships, helicopters and AH-64 Apache AH-20 Cobra, aircraft carrier Constellation, Harry S. Truman, A. Lincoln and T. Roosevelt among others.
In five years the investment was $ 526 million, according to figures released by the U.S. Congress. U.S.
does what he wants with the multilateral system
According to Raimundo Kabchi internationalist "the UN is a ministry over the United States and succumb like the League of Nations, will be a ministry for more than U.S. cabinet. "
For his part, Luis Quintana added that the Security Council did not stop the war despite that handles information from non-existence of weapons of mass destruction. "The United States has used the UN, historically, as a lever to promote sus intereses geopolíticos en el mundo”.
A juicio de este especialista, la ONU quedó radicalmente marginada de la posibilidad de interceder por la soberanía de Irak. “El Consejo de Seguridad fue burlado y Estados Unidos demostró que hace con los sistemas multilaterales lo que le da la gana, y solamente acuden a ellos cuando saben que pueden tener la pelea ganada, como por ejemplo las sanciones a Irán”.
Los medios de comunicación hacen el juego al imperio
“Solo una revolución de carácter mundial puede detener a Estados Unidos, puede parar el proyecto imperial y transnacional que va más allá de las fronteras de EEUU porque está presente en Europa and other hegemonic centers of power. "
So says the internationalist Luis Quintana, who also quoted Noam Shomsky in his thesis that the strength of public opinion can stop this expansion project, "but beyond this requires a political mobilization that emerges from all spaces at the global level, and can move the invisibility of which have been subjected by the hegemonic media. "
Quintana alleged that the big media companies are just talking about American soldiers killed in war, and do not report the deaths of Iraqi civilians that majority. Ensures that people are dying both military attacks, as by hunger and lack of basic services needed to sustain life. "We are talking about exterminating a population by means of the economic, lack of basic services and by way of permanent military intervention."
Raimundo Kabchi also discussed the role of media in war, "only speak of the dead Americans, and say they have destroyed the historical and cultural vestiges of a people and that people are going through a difficult situation economic. Each time they refer to the dead Iraqis say they are terrorists associated with Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, Hamas or Taliban, "he said.
Any country that has oil is a possible target
internationalist Luis Quintana Both as lawyer and international analyst Raimundo Kabchi, agree that the attacks received by the government of President Hugo Chávez and the Bolivarian Revolution have to do with interests of U.S. energy resources by both Venezuela and South America.
Quintana says oil has historically been under the control of U.S. and for some time now and it is not, "have passed into the hands of the sovereign people of Venezuela and that has implications for U.S. policy in the region. " Besides Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador also advance its policy of nationalization of strategic energy resources, according to Quintana's reading has been given this, from the State Department is that the Bolivarian revolution is a hazard.
"When the leading U.S. government officials: Thomas Shannon, Condoleezza Rice and George Bush openly alleged links to have the government of Venezuela to terrorist groups, which supposedly gives them weapons, they do so in order to pave the way and justify an invasion. "
