On March 20, this year, the 20th anniversary of the U.S. barbarian invasion of Iraq, which Washington justified at global level by the global possession of weapons of mass demolition by Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
Although this weapon never existed there, the planet believed in the American lie, and on the basis of it it allowed another post-Afghanistan war to be fought against a country thousands of miles distant from its borders filled with ocean waters. The planet believed a lie that the Iraqi weapons of mass demolition threatened not only America, but besides all mankind, and on the basis of false intelligence agreed to violate global law. The consequences of this agreement proved tragic for both Iraq and the full mediate East region. They besides affect Europe – including through immigration waves – they make astronomical economical and social inequalities in a global dimension.
The question of how it came to this, the US-owned West will not answer. All the more reason to hold the guilty hells unleashed by Washington and NATO associate States in Iraq and then Libya and Syria. The answer can be to stabilize the world’s fresh multipolar order. So far, he can sleep peacefully, erstwhile U.S. Secretary of State. Colin Powell, which, on February 5, 2003, presented at the UN in fresh York City the alleged "proof" of an Iraqi threat to certify that Baghdad has biological weapons of mass demolition and is working on an atomic bomb. For the time being, he has not faced any criminal tribunal, although he already admitted to the lie in 2005 and called his speech a “honorable stain”.
The well-being of the “postiratic” collective West continues, although his shameful defeat is seen with the bare eye. The Iraq war has led to 2 more — in Libya and Syria — in the name of Pax american, in which Europe has been put to sleep, and which is presently sinking Ukraine. The deadly force of this American order continues to reap its cruel toll in Iraq’s most experienced in this regard, where the number of casualties in bombings continues to increase. To this day, the full number of war victims in this country is estimated to be over a million; millions more have emigrated, the country remains in economic, economical and social ruin. Nobody's talking about rebuilding it.
To this day, soldiers of the United States are stationed there and supporting them in Iraq with coalition forces made up of NATO associate States – besides from Poland. No peace, no sovereignty. This is besides evidenced by the decision he made in January 2020 after the assassination of the General Kasema Sulejmani Iraqi parliament. The decision to retreat abroad troops – unfortunately empty, not supported by any actions, ignored by the Natovian states, continuing their presence in this country. In January of the same year, the president approved the continuation of the Polish soldiers' stay within the Polish Military Quota in Iraq. Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
Iraq's civilization space is equally tragic. After the fall of the muslim State there are spiritual fights between the various sects of Islam and between terrorist militants. At an alarming rate, Christianity was destroyed, which has no chance of rebirth. This is due to the fact that the West with its American hegemon at its head is incapable of peace based on justice and tolerance. Saddam Hussein in the first period of the war was overthrown, imprisoned, tried and executed by hanging in December 2006. His troops were crushed little than 2 months after the start of the war, which gave the basis for president George W. Bush to give a speech on triumph over Iraq on May 1, 2003 from the aircraft carrier "Abraham Lincoln" about the Iraq triumph and the end of major combat activities.
The triumph has been announced, but the war is inactive ongoing – for 20 years there has been no chance of peace. The winners not only do not talk about the reconstruction of Iraq and the forms of assistance that will guarantee its continued existence and its possible for development, but in their liberal fresh Yorkes proceed to proclaim to the Iraqis the request to defend human rights that they have militarized and brought about democracy that they have turned into an inalternative dictatorship. Winners have nothing to offer the conquered society but hegemonic liberalism, which unpunishedly imposes a colonial dependency on sovereign nations from the US-West force. This force in the civilisational dimension is maintained solely by NATO, which is its armed arm. It has already lost its economical and economical importance to China and the BRIKS countries, among which another countries are moving – including Argentina, Iran, arabian countries. In culture, the sphere of ideas and axiology, American hegemonic liberalism is nothing – it only proposes philosophical, anthropological, cultural nothing. It's a militant ideology of voidness.
Why will Poland be mentioned in past as a co-responsible state for the current situation in Iraq?
It is legally and morally liable for breaking global law, the death of over a million victims of this endless war, the torture of Iraqis and the crimes of war committed on their people. She is co-responsible due to the fact that she joined the “coal of the willing” alongside Britain and Australia, which supported the American invasion of the country. This was Poland's first participation in the war of global importance – approved by the highest authorities of our state – the President. Aleksandra Kwasniewski, Prime Minister Miller's Leszek and the Polish parliament. However, they are not the only ones liable for this apocalypse of the Iraqi people. As a Poland, we are morally co-responsible all – especially Catholics and Polish Episcopate, who disobeyed John Paul II calling for a refrain from this war and did not take any peaceful initiatives. The church then remained silent and silent at present; it does not initiate any actions that would make Poles aware of their shame and indicate ways of moral cleansing. Persistence in silence – not only of the Church, but besides of Polish authorities, opinion-makers and media – will not erase our guilt. He only discharges us with the hands of Catholics from the area of Christian (Latin) civilization, based on peace and peaceful coexistence.
This circumstantial anticulture of silence is inactive strong adequate that the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq has not been discussed in Poland. possibly due to the fact that her reminder would inform against another moral decline, which makes Poland committed to the war of the USA-NATO with Russia in Ukraine, moving towards its transformation into planet War III. Prominent forces in Poland do not talk about peace, but about the further war and the further rearing of Kiev. Scattered by the Soviets, Polish brains, people capable of issuing a death conviction on millions of victims of a fresh global war. A reminder of the invasion of Iraq would possibly cool off this tragic Polish war start and in this context the silence of the Iraqi anniversary should be taken into account.
Memorizing historical events is simply a proven school of historical memory building the identity of the national, cultural, spiritual community. The importance of circumstantial events is usually determined by historical policy and its accompanying axiological determinants with ethical, intellectual and social leadership. The commemoration of events identified by these determinants as affirmative is justified and understandable. Problems arise erstwhile commemorating anniversaries resembling disasters, lost wars, ineffective fighting, patriotic actions etc. Most often, they are silenced, sent back to the area controlled by historical memory or memory policies. The second – connected with the Holocaust – can be controversial due to the fact that it is created by people who are not witnesses of them, while taking on the function of educators of awareness of fresh generations. Postmemory category proposed by Marianne Hirsch, American literature, reflects the process which has been accomplished in the consciousness of descendants of the surviving traumatic events associated with the cataclysm of planet War II.
In the case of an Iraqi anniversary, we should talk about oblivion or forgetfulness.. A more appropriate word seems to be the first 1 – an intentional action to remove events that would require reflection, historical and axiological reflection, revision of the political position, actions to improve Poland's reputation, moral cleansing. In specified a memory, Polish decision-makers intend to rise fresh generations of Poles – obeying the power of consumers of another 500+, referring to Christian values, deaf to the voice of conscience, open only to transatlantic ideas.
