The War on Terror in the Middle East has proven to be the most complicated and intensely anxious proccess for all protagonists and antogonists alike. The assertion of a firm foreiegn policy for Absolute regime change in Iraq has affirmed the western liberal world's resolution  of replacing all enemies of the "west", or as Mr. Bolani puts it, as succinctly as possible,...so as to..."get rid of (his) ministry of rogue officers...to purge...to dismiss the bad elements from the ministry and build our institutions", (Courier Mail p 69, 26th December, 2006.)

In truth, what we can clearly see is what foreign Policy Analysts would describe as an analogy of significance, which would ascribe to an Allison G.T, paradigm of an Analogical Reasoning (AR) formulae, setting forth political precedents, and antecedents, of comparative political and military strategic events and then to apply empirically and emphatically political and historically significant comparisons, and contrasts, so as to proffer predictability on strategic political outcomes. Whilst it may seem that Janis Irving's "Groupthink" fiascoes, may be the short term outcome with the countless tallies of casualties and the untold number of collateral damage, perhaps, in a more macacre and sinister truth may be an analogical lesson learnt from Yugoslavia, Vietnam, and the concentration camps in South Africa during the Boer War, the Pol Pot regime, the Chillean dictator Pinochet's putsch in his country of Chile, and, of course, during the Jewish Holocaust, which are relevant analogies now being emulated, in part, but, in this instance, it is being manifested in its most pernicious unique form in Iraq today. Moreover, the Geneva Conventions and the UN can not protect anyone from this new less than covert putsch and the absolute regime change with the blessings of the Western World. It is the ultimate final solution. The crimes of Abu Gharaib prison may seem very insignificant to the overt culling of many Iraqi men, women, and children today. What is even more sinister is the randomness and consistency which has called into question why do these people remain when they are being systematically culled? Perhaps, we may find some relevant understanding in Emile Durkheim's perspectives depicting the emotive and psychological mindset of "individual" plural groups, and sects, within Iraq. 

 

But, perhaps, more salient to the outside world, is the perceived gullibility of Iraqi men from a Pavlov's paradigm, of starving unemployed Iraqi soldiers congregating around Police force recruitment centres, or unemployment centres, and street markets, and then are annihilated by IEDs by purported sectarian elements is very dubious indeed. The final solution is indeed to wipe out the old regime literally. All remnents of the old Republican Guard are being systematically culled and replaced.

 

The short term "loss of face" for the Coalition of the Willing, may emulate the Vietnam story, except that this time the story goes further in this denouement in which not only does Saddam Hussein be eliminated, so too does his entire administration and military followers, which will include, most of the "Tikriti" people, in north Baghdad. A next generation of westernised influenced generation will be socialised and nurtured by foreign pedagogues, and behaviourlists. The regime change will manifest itself in a complete cultural change, from media, educational institutions, entertainment, and religious infiltration, that will completely transform Iraq from its very roots.

 

"Regime Change", is the most comprehensive, and the most thoroughly brazen totalitarian foreign policy ever attempted by the American led Coalition. It is bold, it is unprecedented, it is ugly, and ignominiously evil, but, it is perceived to be necessary for the present incumbent oligarchical rulers of the world (namely the members of the UN Security Council).
