Human rights activists meeting with Kuwait statesman, Ahmad Baqr, to plea for the release of Iraqi and Palestinian prisoners from the Persian Gulf war, could not get through his blind love of the free world. Kuwait took Yasser Arafat's condemnation of Iraq as an excuse to get rid of its Palestinian population.
Indeed, the central irony of the war in Iraq is that a military operation ostensibly designed to install a model democracy in Baghdad has created a regime dominated by benighted Shia Islamist theocrats and run by mullahs and activists allied with Iran. "There existed a supercilious 'Shiaphilia' among certain academics, Iraqi political exiles, policy wonks and policymakers linked to the Bush administration," wrote Ahmed Hashim, author of Insurgency and Counter-insurgency in Iraq and a professor of strategic studies at the U.S. Naval War College. Vali Nasr, author of The Shia Revival and a professor at the Naval Postgraduate School, attributes this to the neocons' reading of the Israeli experience in the invasion of south Lebanon in 1982.

Perhaps what is needed, he said, are offers including "guarantees against attack from the outside and attempts at regime change" within Iran, as well as "guarantees that the Security Council would not raise any obstacle, any sanction to the purchases [of uranium] in the world market" as long as Iran remained free of a nuclear fuel cycle.

Senior members of the Iraqi Governing Council are pressing for national elections before the United States turns over power to Iraqis on June 30, brushing aside a U.N. finding that a fair vote could not be held any earlier than the end of the year. Members of the Iraqi National Congress (INC), led by Ahmed Chalabi, and the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), led by Ayatollah Muhammad Baqr al-Hakim, dismissed the argument that technical and security problems are delaying national elections.

The world community should take note of the growing unrest in Bahrain and the mass Shia movement which could dramatically change political relationships and policies in the Gulf region. Social and economic discontent involving high unemployment rates for Shia as well as discrimination have contributed to the unrest and expansion of the movement. Saudi Arabia's support of Shia opposition make it most vulnerable to Shia protests and large scale resistance movements.
