Iraq, the economic war that is not of interest to both the US and Europe

Iraq news
The Americans have no intention to postpone their soldiers in Iraq, and what the press and the politicians repeat for weeks, and it is true. In the United States today breathes an air completely different from the anguish of the enemy in the house of the first two thousand years. The country is in economic recovery, with a growth of 4 per cent in the second quarter, employment was also rising with 200 thousand new jobs created each month. The Americans are also tired of doing the policemen of the world, in the post-war period the pedigree American military is in fact very bad: de facto the largest military power in the world has lost all wars to part the invasion of Granada and the mini conflict in Panama. The last defeat was in Iraq, a nation which today is likely to see large part of its strategic resources fall into the hands of the Islamic Army, a nation that the American soldiers together with those of coalition have abandoned to its fate a little more than a year ago a northerly democracy that makes water from all sides. All this explains why nobody, not even the president Obama, will be able to sell to the electorate another war in the Middle East.

Similar reasoning applies to the Europeans even though for entirely different reasons. The hot topic european remains the prolonged economic crisis, especially in large economies, which apparently is escalating again - in the second quarter Germany has been registered a negative growth (-0.2 per cent), France and stops at zero and Italy and returned to recession. The hypothetical threat of terrorist attacks by the militant jihadists of the caliphate returnees in Europe is less fear of deflation and stagnation of the economy. If it is, therefore, it is true that the Americans did not going to war because they want to enjoy the recovery is even more true that Europeans are too stressed by lack of growth for worry about the threat of terrorism at home and war in the Middle East. Paradoxically, today humanitarian reasons, and not economic supremacy in the Middle East, would justify both the us and the coalition forces, but, alas, we all know that wars are not fought for humanitarian reasons but for reasons that are mainly economic. And this is certainly also true for the Islamic caliphate. In 2010, when the group that was done then call Islamic State in Iraq has passed the Syrian border to participate in the civil war in that country, the strategy of his leadership and has been to win control of strategic resources, including water, to be independent of the Arab sponsor. A policy that has given its fruits in both Syria and Iraq.

The battle being fought today between on the one hand, the Kurdish army backed by drone aircraft Americans and the fighters of the PKK, still officially considered a terrorist group, and on the other, the army of the Caliphate for the control of the dam of Mosul, has nothing to do with the religious cleaning in north of Iraq. Even less plausible is the idea that the Islamic State wishes to skip in the air the dam for flood Mosul and Baghdad, that pro in fact? The dam of Mosul supplies electricity to a large part of the north west and Iraqi supplies a vast basin agricultural, control means a wealth almost more precious of the oil wells in the south of the country. The Caliphate has also attempted, without success, to seize the dam of Daditha, on the Euphrates to the south west of Baghdad that satisfies a third of the country's electricity demand. The control of the water in a region where this is invaluable offers the Caliphate by a party with the opportunity to try the role of State and non-terrorist organization, because it manages a very important infrastructure for the nation. On the other hand allows him to influence the food industry, another key area for the image of status in the eyes of the population. At the moment around 40 per cent of the production of wheat is in the hands of the Islamic State that confiscated various silos in the north of the country. According to the ministry of agriculture the Iraqi 30 per cent of the national agricultural production is at risk, this means that to avoid the worst farmers might be unwilling to support the Caliphate and the government to compromise on an eventual division of the nation. The real battle in Iraq as well as in Syria has to be fought in the field of resources, in order to win it is not enough arming the Kurds or bomb with the drone, we must defend the strategic resources and pursue an economic policy that provide incentives for the well-being among the population. But these are strategies that you should pursue years ago, when Iraq became a democracy under the supervision of the coalition forces, policies which would have avoided the corruption and degeneracy of the democratic system in the mechanism of racial discrimination.
