Guest Editorial -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Application of Autonomy to the Assyrian Territory in the New Democratic IraqKhoshaba Jasim -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted 06-28-2004 01:54:25 (GMT 6-28-2004 6:54:25) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction Autonomy or self-rule is a relative term that describes the degree of local Assyrian self-rule within the framework of a democratic federal Iraq. This is the minimum level of authority -- an autonomous status -- tolerated under the new democratic regime of Iraq. ..no it isn`t. You`ll find no mention of "assyrian" or "Iraq" in any dictionary defining that word. This is YOUR definition of the word as you see fit...and you and your definitions aren`t binding, or even recognized, anywhere in the world. The prime factor that helps realize or achieve such a status is the freely and democratically stated and expressed intention of the central government to implement or put in force a federal system that can guarantee equal autonomy to the Iraqi nationalities. ...that is not and has never been a part of any democratic government`s obligation..never. The Afro-Americans could not ask for autonomy in Texas...they could not ask for their own police force and officials, they could not even ask to stay in any hotel in America or eat anywhere they wanted to..they could not allow their children to play in any park in America...and had they not fought the good fight..they`d still be denied these simple basic human NOT special, rights. Neither did they ask Libya to attack America and "save" them. If America never had any intention or shows any signs today of granting anyone "autonomy" and self rule in America...then what makes you think a democractic, Muslim Iraq MUST do it? On base of such a prudent ...how`d you get a doctorate in anything without first learning to speak English? On, "the basis of"...does idiocy run in the family...or is it lying that`s a general family trait? choice the Assyrians' top priority is a self-rule in their ancestral territory unhampered by challenging unhistorical claims or behavior that has no legal attachment to the Assyrian territory. ...sure they do...why of course..and the Basques of Spain and any number of other people, the Irish Catholics for instance, get those same rights..run along with you. Politically, the Assyrians are A distinct ethnic component of the Iraqi population. An integral part of the whole Iraqi nation just as the Arabs. Subject to principles of Self-determination; i.e. Autonomy. Possess the ingredients that go into nationalism such as the Assyrian Triangle around Nineveh which is the core of their claim to autonomy or self-rule. ..blow it out your ass. These are all your ideas...ideas every nut case can put forward...Iraq is under no obligation to pay any attention to you people and it never has...except to demand you obey the law of the land which, as in all other countries, forbids citizens from teaching sedition in the guise of history OR religion...and promises NO land rights to any religious minorities. Your claims are just that, YOUR claims and as such carry no weight at all. There are any number of Cleopatras in mental hospitals and each of them DEMANDS the return of the royal barge so they can sail up the Misissippi River.. Socially and Culturally, the Assyrians Are not a religious community and should not be looked upon as such. ...Proctologists shouldn`t lie...considering the positions they assume in society. What do you mean you people are NOT a religious community? That`s ALL you are. You`re the ones who have as your litmus test that an "Assyrian MUST be a Christian..what do you call that? Are an ethnic group with legitimate rights to participate equally and actively in building the new democratic Iraq. ...you are not an ethnic group..your religion for one is not indigenous..go to Isarel where your hearts are already and make some demands...you can certainly participate equally and NO Iraqi citizen is getting any Triangle in Iraq. Have their own language, called neo-Syriac, which is based in Assyrian Aramaic, which is heavily infused with Akkadian, their previous language. ..No one ever denied you your language or the French language or tried to stop people from speaking Spanish or Swahilli..not unless you tried to teach that Iraq belonged to YOU in any of those languages in any basement of any building at all...if anyone tried that they would be apprehended for breaking a law that is common to all countries, to whit and to whoo...you cannot teach sedition in any country..you cannot teach that the government in place is a thief and uslurper...you cannot teach that you are owed this and that...you cannot put these fuzzy ideas into the heads of village children where there is NO competing school or one that is likely to carry equal force...if you raise these issues in front of the nation or the nation`s school children, it would be different, for then it can be a teaching exercise..but you whisper these things into the ear of kids who don`t get far in Life and decide they have the country coming to them instead. Historically, the Assyrians Are the indigenous inhabitants of Iraq. ...you are not those Assyrians. You are a Christian minority trying to claim exclusive descent based on your Jew-born religion. If every Muslim in Iraq must be an Arab from Arabia because his religion is FROM Arabia..then you are all Israelis because your religion is FROM Israel. Cut the shit...all Iraqis are decsended from ALL the ancient cultures of Iraq...there were far more than just Assyrians and, as you say, it`s preposterous to claim that EVERY Assyrian disappeared, so is it equally absurd to say NO other ancient people have passed down to us...all Iraqis are descended from all the people of BetNahrian and ALL of them gave up on the indigenous religions of BetNahrain...some to follow an Arab religion, others a Jewsih one...and your Jewish religion gives you no special rights whatsoever in Iraq. They have the desire to continue dwelling there as a distinctive self-ruled entity identified by comprehensive national elements still existing in their conservative communities. ...their communities are all Christian communities, they do not recognize anyone as "Assyrian" unless that person is Christian first...as such they have no NATIONAL status anywhere. You people are free to practise your RELIGION all you want to...if you obey the rest of the laws..and as a democracy in which majority rule means Muslim rule..as in America it means Christian rule..you`ll just have to live as all minorities do...at the will of the majority. In America a majority rules that Gore should be president and lost out to a minority..shit happens. Hopefully aspire to have their past rule in Mesopotamia rehabilitated as a legitimate justification of their claim to autonomy. ..that sentence is so ass backwards, oops sorry...not even you could begin to make sense of it. You boys are getting desperate...you`ve been caught yelling for mama in the nursery again and you STILL won`t get that candy bar...now what? General Autonomy Structure The structure of the Assyrian autonomy shall be as follows: ..."shall" be??? Legislative The Assyrian local authority will represent the Assyrians residing in the autonomous territory. The authority will exclusively administer local laws legislated by it to run the affairs of the autonomy in coordination with the Constitution and laws of the central regime. The Assyrian authority will be confined to matters of pure local nature and will not get involved in foreign policy and national defense unless otherwise being counseled by the central regime. The head of the autonomy will be elected by the Assyrians of the autonomous territory. The Assyrian autonomous authority will be entitled to amend its local by-laws as it deems necessary for the implementation of its agenda in the autonomous territory. The Assyrian Autonomous authority will abide completely by the constitution of Iraq and with all subsequent legislation and amendments enacted by the central regime. ...ah, how many religious communities would like to get that. Judicial The Assyrian autonomous territory will have an independent local judiciary with jurisdiction over purely local matters. Jurisdictional questions between local courts and local disputes are to be solved locally. ..never happen anywhere in the world. I think you`re harking back to the good old days, the one time you Christians came close to such a thing..remember? It was in the lands of those nasty Turks..the Millet system. Those days are long gone...you will never see that again. If I may I`d like to remind you which religion came declaring war on that concept...also for no reason BUT oil...and ruined it for everybody? Yup..the same Christians who are at it again. Particular Issues And Powers Foreign Relations And Defense The Assyrian autonomous territory will exercise no power over foreign relations and defense. ..oh go ahead...TRY. Policy and Security Arrangements Local police power in the Assyrian Autonomous territory will be exercised by the Assyrian local authority in coordination with the central regime strategy, particularly, matters of security and other vital issues. Local police forces in the autonomous territory will be a component of power of the Assyrian autonomous rule. ...never happen....anywhere. Social Services Provisions of social services such as health, education, and welfare will be the responsibility of the Assyrian autonomous Authority who will be eligible to seek grants and other subsidies administered by the national government. Taxes The power to impose and collect local taxes in the autonomous territory will be the responsibility of the Assyrian local authority. ...you need to straighten up sometimes and look out the window..you`ll notice a wider horizon. You`ve become accustomed to seeing the "narrow end" of things. Culture and Religion The Assyrians are directly responsible to cultivate their culture that reflects their traditions, customs, and folklore, in a multi-national and ethnic society existing in Iraq. ..in that kind of Iraq you are merely a religious minority, nothing more. Iraq is a democracy, remember? You all begged America to go to war to create one there...in a democractic Iraq NO Iraqi is going to vote away any part of the NATIONAL AUTONOMY..are you nuts? Conclusion In the Assyrian case, the self-rule will come true and will be materialized through full integration of the Assyrian community in the new democratic regime of Iraq. ...you`re babbling again..putting your cart before your ass. There is no hope of any autonmy for any group in Iraq in a democracy..for no one is going to vote you one and you can`t get one in any other way...unless you get some Christians to attack Iraq again and this time STEAL you some land. And since the people of Iraq strongly favor a federal regime, the Assyrians, similarly, like the Arabs, the Kurds, and Turkomans are also in favor of a democratic federal regime that has the capacity to provide a federal political entity for the Iraqis. They are longing to see their autonomous territory prospering under the comprehensive direct control of the central government. ...and the central government cannot hope to prosper if it takes into account the separate wishes of each group...the government will prosper when, one day in the future, all Iraqis begin to think and act like Iraqis instead of tribes who want tribal territory who would therefore be at the whim of everybody not so stupid to see strength in division..and of course at each other`s necks. never happen. besides you are CHRISTIANS and NO Muslims are in the mood to hear about YOUR rights right now. Chicago: June 14, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Khoshaba Jasim is an Assyrian from Iraq. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1974. He has a Ph.D. in political science from Northeastern Illinois University. ...he`s THAT kind of DOCTOR??? Well...if the head fits... --------------------- - BACK TO INDEX - REPLY - QUOTE - EDIT - DELETE -
