Die Krise scheint sich von Tag zu Tag zu vergrößern.
Ich lese Joe Vialls zwar in erster Linie wegen des Unterhaltungswertes, aber manchmal stellt er ja ein gewisses Maß an Treffsicherheit unter Beweis, wie bei seiner Vorhersage des al-Sadr-Aufstandes. Inzwischen könnte ich mir vorstellen, daß er mit den hier getroffenen Vorhersagen recht bekommen könnte:
By now, our little excursion into hypothetically occupied America should have brought home the reality of the situation in Iraq today. Americans will never submit to colonial rule dressed-up as 'democracy' by the Chinese, and Iraqis will never submit to colonial rule dressed-up as 'democracy' by the Zionist Cabal in New York. And just as American patriots would be absolutely convinced they could and would eventually expel or defeat their 150,000 Chinese invaders, so too are Iraqi patriots absolutely convinced that they can and will expel or defeat their 125,000 American invaders. They are right of course, but what remains to be seen is whether the Iraqi Republican Guard and Mehdi Army will allow the Americans to withdraw, or whether they intend to trap the Americans inside Iraq, and starve them into eventual surrender and war crimes trials.
...
Even the most pessimistic of observers assumed that if the worst came to the worst, the American invasion force would carry out a "tactical withdrawal" [Americans never "retreat"] south towards Kuwait, and then perhaps takens never "retreat"] south towards Kuwait, and then perhaps take a giant swipe at the Saudi oilfields on their way home down the Persian Gulf. Not one person in America ever canvassed the possibility that like the British Army at Dunkirk during World War II, the entire American invasion force might be completely trapped inside Iraq, with literally no way out.
Daß einmal Amerikaner unfreiwillig die Rollen der Angeklagten in einem Kriegsverbrecherprozeß spielen könnten, ist eine Vorstellung nicht ohne gewissen Unterhaltungswert. Werden wir in genau 2 Jahren vom heutigen Tag, zum 60. Jahrestag eines bedeutenden Ereignisses, das Finale eines Kriegsverbrecherprozesses im Irak erleben?
