names from our rosters as soon as we realized that their expert opinions and intelligence were not reliable, truthful and pragmatic.

MISTAKE #16: GIVING MULTI BILLION DOLLAR CONTRACTS TO AMERICAN COMPANIES TO REBUILD IRAQ INSTEAD OF GIVING A SIZABLE PORTION OF THOSE CONTRACTS TO WELL-ESTABLISHED ARAB AND LOCAL CORPORATIONS AND COMPANIES. Arabs and Muslims  contractors and businessmen disdained this decision. They felt that they were pushed aside by Americans and deprived from taking part in rebuilding their own country. In addition, they became fully aware that American companies will make astronomical profits from those contracts given to them by the Bush's administration. Billions of Dollars poured in the bank accounts of non-Arab companies which were controlled by Christians and Jews.

MISTAKE #17: NOT LIFTING THE RESTRICTIONS OF BOYCOTTING IRAQ AND IMPOSING UNJUSTIFIED EMBARGO AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ FOR OVER 15 YEARS.  Europeans and the United Nations are equally responsible.  Boycotting Iraq did not help at all. Every single Arab nation maintained solid ties, import-export, trade and commerce with Saddam Hussein’s regime.  OPEC members choreographed and scenarioed schemes to keep Iraq’s oil industry undamaged. France, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Cuba, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Indonesia, Malasia, Sudan, Somalia, Uganda, Nigeria, several African and Latin countries intensified their technological cooperation with the regime of Hussein. Everybody did business with Iraq and got rich and richer, except the United States.  Of course, boycotting Iraq was not President Bush’s decision. It occurs long time before he came to power. His mistake was not to lift the restrictions against boycotting Iraq.  He would have gained the massive and integral support of the Iraqi people. All nations, including the unworthy and deceitful United Nations played their cards on the gambling table of Iraq, except the United States. Being an honest and determined Bush is good. But, being an honest, determined and politically clairvoyant Bush is better. President Bush is a religious man not a political medium. And he does not play cards so well. He prefers golf! And a golf court has many holes.

MISTAKE #18: WRONGFULLY IDENTIFYING IRAQ AS A FERTILE SOIL FOR TERRORISM AND A NATION  CLOSELY COLLABORATING WITH MUSLIM FUNDAMENTALISTS AND AL QAEDA OPERATORS:  The truth is: Saddam Hussein hated the guts of Bin Laden and feared his ever-expanding influence in the region. It was not in the best interest of Saddam Hussein to allow Bin Laden and fanatic Muslims to flourish in Iraq and to exert power over the Iraqi people and neighboring countries, simply because it could and would jeopardize the stability of his regime. Bin Laden is a fanatic religious Muslim fundamentalist. Hussein is a secular anarchist non-religious tyrant.

MISTAKE #19: BUSH'S ADMINISTRATION DID NOT REALIZE THAT SHIITES WILL BECOME FORMIDABLE FOES. History taught us that the Shii'a is the most fanatic Muslim sect. Don't go far away and dig deep in dusty files and records of ancient history. Just look around you and learn that the most threatening elements and terrorism cells are nourished and financed by the Shiites. For instance:

 1- The Syrian Baa’th Party is Aleouit-Shiite;

 2-  Hizboul’lah in southern Lebanon is financed and organized by the Shiites;

 3- Twenty seven identified terrorist organizations are in the hands of the Shiites;

 4- Iran’s government is the stronghold and backbone of Shiite Islamic doctrines.
