| | THE 2003 IRAQ WAR & ARCHAEOLOGY |
 | | In his speeches, President Saddam Hussein constantly refers to Iraq's ancient glory, as if to drum into average citizens the fact that their country deserves an exalted spot on the world stage, and he has long envisioned a grand reconstruction of the ancient city of Babylon. | | | Babylon, Iraq -- If many Western anti-war protesters believe America's real motive for invading Iraq is its oil, many Iraqis point to another treasure they are convinced lies behind U.S. war aims: Babylon. | | | This ancient city was the cradle of world civilization thousands of years ago and hit its golden era during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II in the sixth century B.C. Now, it is a repository of the Iraqi regime's ambition and fears. |

| | The Iraq War -2003 - Latest News and Views |
| | The reality of Iraq today is a long shot from being entertaining or exciting, especially since the administrator Paul Bremer, reflecting his administration's loss in Washington, does not know what he wants of and for the country, except to tighten the coalition's control over the land and oil. | | | But the 1,400 people in the Iraq Survey Group, as the new effort is called, will utilize many of the same highly intrusive investigative and covert intelligence-gathering techniques that U.N. inspectors secretly used between 1991 and 1998 to find and destroy vast quantities of illicit Iraqi weapons and production materials. | | | The only new thing that Haass said was that he admitted that several years would be needed to establish democracy in Iraq. |

| | Workers World Feb. 20, 2003: Iraq war aimed also at Palestinians |
| | While declaring Iraq to be in material breach of UN resolutions, the United States has never proposed any action against the state of Israel for flouting literally hundreds of UN resolutions passed over the 55 years since the mass expulsion of Palestinians from their land in 1948. | | | By including Iraq's support of the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation among the charges, Powell demonstrated U.S. imperialism's broader strategic goals in the region. | | | While Powell and President George W. Bush reiterated their charges that bombed, sanctioned and surrounded Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, the Feb. 2 New York Times described the blitzkrieg of more than 3,000 bombs and missiles that would rip into Iraq in the first 48 hours of a U.S. attack. |
