Irak: Hvordan får man mere fred?
En effektiv metode er åbenbart at trække de udenlandske tropper ud, ifølge en rapport fra Reuters bureau - Basra har ikke været så fredeligt siden invasionen, som det er siden briterne er rejst:
Residents of Iraq's southern city of Basra have begun strolling riverfront streets again after four years of fear, their city much quieter since British troops withdrew from the grand Saddam Hussein-era Basra Palace.Så sikkerheden er blevet bedre, ikke værre, siden briterne er rejst. Kunne få en til at overveje, hvor megen gavn amerikanerne egentlig gør ved at blive - eller måske snarere, hvem deres forbliven måske skal gavne (vink: måske ikke dem, de siger, det skal gavne).
Political assassinations and sectarian violence continue, some city officials say, but on a much smaller scale than at any time since British troops moved into the city after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
Mortar rounds, rockets and small arms fire crashed almost daily into the palace, making life hazardous for British and Iraqis alike in Iraq's second-largest city. To many Basrans the withdrawal of the British a month ago removed a proven target.
