‘Inspect if you must, but don’t play with our dignity’

‘‘Go thou to Pharaoh, for he has indeed transgressed all bounds. But speak to him mildly; perchance he may take warning or fear (Allah)

His excellency Mr Kofi Annan

You may recall the huge clamor fabricated by the President of the United States administration (George Bush), in the biggest and most wicked slander against Iraq, supported in malicious intent, and spearheaded in word and malevolence, by his lackey (British Prime Minister) Tony Blair, when they disseminated the claim that Iraq had perhaps produced, or was on its way to produce, nuclear weapons since 1998.

Then they returned to stress that Iraq had in fact produced chemical and biological weapons. They both know, as well as we do, and so can other countries, that such fabrications are baseless. But, does the knowledge of the truth constitute elements for interaction in politics of our day, which has witnessed the unleashing of American administration’s evil to its fullest extent?

The aggressionism of the United States of America and its single-handed infliction of injustice and destruction on those subjected to its inequity, in the forefront of whom are the Muslims and Arab believers, is the basic reason why America has withdrawn its ambassadors and other staff, closed its embassies, and restricted its interests in many parts of the world, while reaping the hatred of the peoples of the world due to its policies and aggressive objectives …

The Security Council, however, or indeed those who can basically play an influential role in it, have, instead of leaving the American administration and its lackey reap the result of their evil, saved wrong-doing rather than halted it. We shall see when remorse will not do any good for those who bite on their fingers …

We fear that the UN may lose the trust and attachment of peoples, that is if it has not fallen to that place already.

This is due to the exploitation of the organisation by powerful interests, whenever their greedy ambitions converge at the expense of the interests of other peoples. It may also be due to expediency and compromise amongst those interests in falsehood at the expense of truth …

We hereby inform you that we will deal with Resolution 1441, despite its contents, if it is to be implemented according to premeditated evil of the parties of ill-intent, the important thing in this is trying to spare our people from any harm … Therefore, we are prepared to receive the inspectors, so that they can carry out their duties, and make sure that Iraq had not developed weapons of mass destruction during their absence since 1998 .

If the weapons inspectors do their duty professionally and lawfully, without any premeditated intentions, the liars’ lies will be exposed to public opinion, and the declared objective of the Security Council will be achieved. It will then become the lawful duty of the Security Council to lift the blockade and all the other unjust sanctions on Iraq…The number of just people will, then, increase in the world, and Iraq’s possibility to drive away the cawing of the crows of evil that daily raid its land and kill Iraqis and destroy their property by their bombs …

Therefore, we hope, that you will, Mr. Secretary-General, advise the ignorants not to push things to the precipice, in the implementation, because the people of Iraq will not choose to live at the price of their dignity, country, freedom or sanctities, and they would rather make their lives the price if that was the only way before them to safeguard what they must safeguard.

Allah is the Greatest”
