Kurdistan National Assembly of Syria’s
Security, stability, and peace cannot be
established in Iraq or in fact in the Middle
East while the same regimes in Syria and
Iran continue to pursue their agenda of
defeating the US in Iraq, destroying the
democracy in Kurdistan of Iraq, meddling in
Lebanon’s affairs, destroying Israel and
supporting terrorist organizations
through-out the Middle East. The radicals
and the terrorists who are part of or an
extension of these regimes have been gaining
momentum and tractions from the thirty-three
day war in Lebanon and the recommendations
of The Iraq Study Group to engage Syria and
Iran on the Iraq or Middle East Issues.
Any concessions to the Iranians or Syrians
would send the wrong message to those
regimes and to the democracy advocates in
the region; Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah have
declared victory over Israel in recent
thirty-three day war in Lebanon, in fact the
Syrian regime in process of creating
Hezbollah in Golan, Iran’s hardening
position or refusal to stop its nuclear
programs, cracking on democracy advocates
like Kurds, and undermining the Lebanese
government.
Going back the cold war mentally of
stability at expense of Democracy is a
failed policy and to repeat the same policy
and expect different results this would be a
definitions of madness.
We need to address the root cause of the
problem undoing past sins and spreading
democracy to create a win-win formula. What
makes no sense in the report is the
engagement of those radical regimes; we know
that Iran and Syria’s regime would love to
see US fails in Iraq and closes the issue of
democracy for good. So, the would never
cooperate with US, in fact the will use this
process to drive wedge between US and its
allies, gain credibility, maintain their
regimes, support terrorists, and make weapon
of mass distractions. All their interest
sums up in buying the time to strengthen,
destroying the democracy advocates, and
humiliating the US and its allies. Maybe the
nightmares of the Cold War are still
haunting the Iraq Study Group, may be we
need to remind them of the victory over the
Soviet Union.
Kurdistan National Assembly of Syria and
democracy advocates in Syria and Middle East
recommend the following enhancements or
conditions to the Iraq Study Group Report in
regard to the engagement of Iran and Syria:
1. Conditional engagement: the oppositions
in Syria must be present and part of the
engagement process.
2. The democratic oppositions or democracy
advocates must be permitted to participate
in the political process in Syria or Iran
including international monitored fair
elections.
3. Release of all political prisoners
4. Grant the rights of Kurds including
promoting and supporting minorities rights
5. Promoting and supporting secular and
civil societies
6. denounce violence and fight terrorisms
7. Stop supporting terrorists organizations
If they are un-willing to accept the above
conditions for engagement, US can declare
the Kurdish regions in Syria as safe heaven
and support democracy advocates or democracy
forces representative of Syria that means
including broad democratic collations to
work together in the safe heaven to bring
democracy to Syria, this alone will send a
strong message to Syria, Iran, and their
terrorist allies that the US did not fail
and it was not humiliated on contrary those
regimes have made concessions or portions of
its territories has been taken away from its
control. Finally, the democratic oppositions
or coalitions should include Arabs, Kurds,
Druze, Yezadi, Assyrian, Alawait, Sunni,
etc. to represent Syria today.
