Kurds vs. Iraqi Government Saddam Hussein

Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict---alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence. Dorothy Thompson

Political objection, often accompanied by social hatred, rooted in different cultural values. Continuous tensions between Iraqi Kurdistan and Iraqi central government. These two are similar in government, they are different in religion. Despite its work relief elements and large government the New Deal is best understood as a defense of different cultural values

    President George Bush’s letter to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is, at least on the surface, a persuasive piece intended to convince the Iraqi leader to withdraw his forces from occupied Kuwait before war breaks out. Upon closer reading, however, the critical reader will see that Bush’s "argument" is, in fact, not much of a rational argument (let alone a convincing one), which is odd in that Bush himself repeatedly points out that much is at stake. The superficiality of the American President’s argument leads one to seek out other more likely purposes.…

    A major result of Saddam Hussein's defeat in the Gulf War (1991) and Operation Provide Comfort was the ultimate establishment of Kurdish control over their traditional homeland in northern Iraq, known as Iraqi Kurdistan and "South Kurdistan". Just a few months after the creation of the autonomous zone, free elections (a first in Iraq) were held in 1992. The two main Kurdish parties, namely Barzani's KDP and the Jalal Talabani-led Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), split the vote, and subsequently split the government ministries evenly. In May 1994, however, fighting broke out between the Peshmerga of the PUK and of KDP. In the summer of 1996 Barzani called on the assistance of Saddam Hussein's regime to help him combat the PUK, which was receiving…

    The three government groups in Iraq have different amounts of political power, residing in conflict within the nation. A factor that plays into political disputes in Iraq is the fact that the Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish governments do not have an equal amount of political power. Iraq battles political infighting among the three governments in the past and today. While the power of the Kurds and Sunnis decreases, the Shiites’ power increases. Ever since the election for a transitional national assembly, immense corruption has come about. The United Iraq Alliance won the election, with Shiite Jafari as leader. The Shiites have and still thrive on the election victory and try to dominate all aspects of Iraq government. To make matters worse, they do not necessarily share power. The Sunnis who take over the center region of Iraq, simply do not approve of the Shiite-dominated government and decide not to conform to any political decisions the Shiite government makes. In addition, the Kurdish government, leading the northern region of Iraq, does not accept the idea of Shiite domination either. When put together, the populations of the center and northern region make up a great portion of Iraq. Thus, the amount of power that the Shiite government has is not favored by most of the nation. As a result, anti-government…

    “Peace is not the absence of conflict, It is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means” (Ronald Reagan). There are many ways people respond to conflict, it defines who they are. People react to everything in completely different ways. While many people say that there is no reason to react in an optimistic way, it can end up with a positive outcome.…

    Conflict is inevitable, and constantly present in life. Whether it’s obvious and right in front of your face or hidden beneath a pile of lies someone will always suffer because of it. Although that being said, without it- would we truly understand the importance of peace? There are some out there who believe that some of the greatest triumphs and acts of the human spirit were during times of great conflict such as wars and repression’s. But I believe that these events have caused the most horrific demonstrations of human nature in the act of killing the innocent.…

    They were under the Ottoman Empire ruling, however, after the Ottoman Empire entered World War One they failed because they were not successful enough. Iraq had a monarchy that had no control over anything. They had given up and given all the power to the Hawza in Najaf. They were composed of important Islamic figures or leaders like Al-Sayed Mohammed Baqir Al-Hakim. He had control of all of Iraq. The tribes were second in ranking when it came to being in control. They listened to everything Sayid Mohammed told them to do and mostly all the laws he told them to oblige by were from the Holy Book, The Quran. If there were a group who was not going to listen to the Islamic leaders, they would get punished by the tribes and punishments included a five course dinner, money, and negotiation to solve the situation, however, that changed after the British coming into control. The British settled in Iraq because it was known to be the richest in agriculture and petroleum. The main reason they invaded Iraq was because their was a boom in oil and was being sold in large quantities, therefore, causing them to also want some of it to get more money. They wanted to gain more power and saw an opportunity because they were not under any ruling. Also, it was known as the oldest civilization in the world which meant artifacts and money. The British were afraid that if they were to only rule and not do anything…

    Similarly, during the 1980-1988 Iraq-Iraq war, criminal dictator and former Iraqi president Saddam Hussain evacuated thousands of Iraqi and non-Iraqi citizens from Iraq, as he considered them as a threat to the country. Such innocent people included merchants, figures of opposing parties, anti “Baa`th party individuals and also members of the Islamic Daa`wa party.

    The conflict in Iraq is considered by many people to be an unimportant one. But from researching this topic for the past few weeks, I have come to the conclusion that this was a very serious conflict. When Iraq was ruled by the brutal tyrant, Saddam Hussein, they instantly became one of the most violent countries in the world. In twenty years, Saddam led the Iraqi military to two wars. One war was against Iran that lasted from 1980-1988 and was considered to be one of the bloodiest wars in the history of the Middle East. The second one was the Gulf War of 1991 against Kuwait. Both of these wars were results of Saddam sending Iraqi soldiers into these two countries and demanding a piece of territorial land. The conflict in Iraq was a cause of Saddam Hussein forcing the country into multiple wars and ordering the killing of nearly a million Shi’i Muslims in Iraq.…

    With any radical extremist group there is a threat to security. The danger and risk of potentially losing sovereignty is Iraq’s primary motivation behind their fight against ISIS. However, defeating ISIS in Iraq will only be possible if the government can successfully ameliorate the social, political, and economic discrepancies that plague the nation. This can be done through economic development through foreign investment, widespread social inclusion, and unity among the people (Al-Maliki 2014).…

    The Iran-Iraq war was a brutal war that eradicated thousands of lives. Some say that “ It was a big mistake” or “wasn’t meant to be.” Both sides argued their own perspective, in a matter that they were more accurate than the other, or that even it wasn’t their fault. They merely believed that it was each other who were accountable for the war. Iran and Iraq had always been old rivals; some could have even said that they were like “God or satin.” Particularly, they would dispute over land masses or even small amounts such as borders. The Iran-Iraq war was a grieving event that reformed Iraq and Iran’s bond through bloodshed and warfare.…
