General Anthony Zinni's Speech to the Middle East Institute Annual Conference, October 10, 2002 General Zinni: Thank you. Ned asked me to look at the possibility of military action in Iraq and sort of describe the lane between best-case, worst-case and maybe the most-likely-case scenarios and where the minefields may be. Let me start with the best case. Last night I sat down and said, "What would have to happen to make any military action to turn out in the best possible way?" I wrote ten conditions for this war that would have to happen. The first condition is that the coalition is in. The second is that the war is short. The third is that destruction is light. Fourth is that Israel is out. Fifth is that the street is quiet. Sixth is that order is kept. Seventh is that the burden is shared. Eighth is that the change is orderly. Ninth is that the military is not stuck. Tenth is that other commitments are met. That's an easy list. (laughter) If we design our strategy and our tactics based on that, it will all work out. It works through a number of ways. One is a lot of consultation, a lot of patience, a lot of dialogue, a lot of hard work on the ground, and the connection of a lot of personalities that represent the leadership in the region. It is not an easy thing to maintain; it is high maintenance, but it is necessary to pay the price to do the maintenance to keep those relationships strong. I really worry about some of the things I hear now that tend to want to create adversarial relationships with friends that we have worked very, very hard through very difficult issues to maintain the connection and the relationship. Being one of those people on the ground that had to maintain those relationships and work at it, I saw the power when these relationships were strong, kept strong, and the support was there.

The former mayor of Haifa was the choice of the peace movement and those on the left of the party seeking to distance themselves from politicians who served with the right-wing Likud Party in the coalition government. The former general says he will negotiate with Yasser Arafat He has come out firmly against joining a unity government with Ariel Sharon's Likud party after the elections. Mr Mitzna combines his experience as an army general with his dovish views, saying that his military experience taught him that military force alone cannot solve Israel's problems. He recently spoke out against the current curfews and conditions imposed on the Palestinians by Israel.

I have several announcements at the outset. My first announcement concerns the present situation in the Middle East. I would like to give you the following statement. The Government of Japan is gravely concerned by the fact that the clashes between the Israelis and the Palestinians have been continuing for almost two weeks, not only causing further casualties but also spreading over a wider area. Japan condemns any act of provocation, any form of violence and excessive use of arms. Japan strongly urges once again all the parties concerned to immediately halt the violence and to cope with the situation with maximum self-restraint. Japan underlines once more that a negotiated peace is the only realistic option and strongly hopes that, as a first step toward this end, the parties will work out a ceasefire as soon as possible.

Table of Contents Yemen Human Rights Developments Defending Human Rights The Role of the International Community HUMAN RIGHTS DEVELOPMENTS The security forces continued to exercise wide powers and to commit abuses, including arbitrary arrest, torture, and killings of civilians with virtual impunity. The press came under increasing pressure and the number of executions increased. Early in the year, unknown persons set off a series of bomb explosions in Aden and al-Dhali' province in the south, and kidnapping of both Yemenis and foreigners remained a major security issue. A nationwide referendum in February 2001, approved constitutional amendments that strengthened the position of President Ali Abdallah Salih and his ruling General People's Congress (GPC). The parliamentary term was increased from four to six years and the president's right to decree laws when parliament was in recess was abolished but the amendments lengthened the presidential term from five to seven years, and authorized the president to appoint a 111-member Consultative Council. Opposition activists expressed concern that this body would allow the president to offset the role of the elected parliament, thus augmenting indirect executive control over legislation. Local council elections held at the same time as the referendum, were marred by violence and opposition charges that voter registration lists had been rigged. Unofficial sources reported that some forty persons died and more than a hundred were injured in clashes with security forces and among supporters of different parties on election day and in its aftermath; the government said eleven persons were killed and twenty-three were injured.

STATEMENT BY AMBASSADOR ANDRES FRANCO, DEPUTY PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF COLOMBIA The Situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian Question New York, May 03, 2002 As we meet today, we regret the Secretary-General's decision to disband the fact-finding team on recent events in Jenin, which the Council welcomed in resolution 1405 (2002) after the vote of approval from all our countries on 19 April. The team created by the Secretary-General was a high-level group composed of persons with impeccable professional careers and unquestionable ethical qualities. We applaud the desire of President Martti Ahtisaari and his team to play a constructive and definitive role in shedding light on the events in Jenin, and we are grateful for their willingness and patience during these days of uncertainty with regard to the team's future. We have witnessed some encouraging signs in the midst of widespread tragedy and despair, thanks to the intense diplomatic activity involving, among others, the Governments of the United States and the United Kingdom. The lifting of the siege on President Arafat's headquarters, the resulting political strengthening of the Palestinian leader and the proposal of the United States to convene a conference on the Middle East, announced following the meeting of the "quartet" in Washington yesterday, all deserve our recognition.

CMEP Home Page September 12, 2002 The Honorable George W. Bush President of the United States of America The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. President: We, like all Americans, kneel in prayer and remembrance for the tragedy and violence that obliterated the lives of so many people one year ago. As American religious leaders, we have sought during this year to listen, to learn, and to grow in our faith and compassion both for persons in our congregations and also for those many outside of our churches. We applaud your leadership in bringing peoples of disparate faiths together to worship, to mourn, and to move on boldly with our lives – in a more caring fashion and with appreciation for the precious gifts of God given to all humankind. Today, however, we write out of concern that those same precious gifts may be damaged by actions being contemplated by our nation. We, leaders of American churches and church-related organizations, are alarmed by recent statements by yourself and others in the Administration about pre-emptive military action against Iraq for the expressed purpose of toppling the regime of Saddam Hussein. Understanding that Mr. Hussein poses a threat to his neighbors and to his own people, we nevertheless believe it is wrong, as well as detrimental to U.S. interests, to take such action.

Post-Saddam Iraq: Linchpin of a New Oil Order Topic Iraq Posted by gato on Wednesday, April 09 @ 17:31:52 Michael Renner is a Senior Researcher at Worldwatch Institute and a policy analyst for Foreign Policy In Focus By Michael Renner, Worldwatch Institute Jan. 2003 Only in the most direct sense is the Bush administration’s Iraq policy directed against Saddam Hussein. In contrast to all the loud talk about terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, and human rights violations, very little is being said about oil. The administration has been tight-lipped about its plans for a post-Saddam Iraq and has repeatedly disavowed any interest in the country’s oil resources. But press reports indicate that U.S. officials are considering a prolonged occupation of Iraq after their war to topple Saddam Hussein. It is likely that a U.S.-controlled Iraq will be the linchpin of a new order in the world oil industry. Indeed, a war against Iraq may well herald a major realignment of the Middle East power balance.

UNISPAL Home Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People 18 April 2002 NGO STATEMENT AND PLAN OF ACTION ADOPTED BY THE UNITED NATIONS NGO MEETING IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE Nicosia, 18 April 2002 1. We NGOs from around the world gathered together in Nicosia, Cyprus, at a moment of grave peril for the Palestinian people. Over the past eight weeks, Israel and its military forces have systematically destroyed the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian economic, political, social, religious and health care infrastructure, and crippled its ability to offer essential services to its people. The full extent of the trauma and casualties suffered by the people is yet to be discovered, but the consequences for Palestinian men, women and children are extreme. 2. Our Meeting takes place when, after Secretary of State Colin Powell's failed mission to the Middle East, the Israeli Government re-launches and aggravates its criminal aggression against the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian people. We underline the responsibility of the United States Administration in the present, most dangerous turn of events and escalation of war in the Middle East. We consider the stand of the European Union so far in this regard as insufficient. The EU must take a coherent, effective and independent stand. We appeal to Arab Governments to take much stronger and concrete measures in support of the Palestinian people and the Palestinian Authority. 3. The denial of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and the continued occupation and aggression were and remain at the root of injustices and violence. We condemn this Israeli occupation and all its related policies.
