Ir\u00e1\u010dan za nic necht\u011bl jm\u00e9no prozradit, ale \u0159ekl, \u017ee by si \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd jeho spoluob\u010dan o tak velk\u00fd \u00faplatek nikdy ne\u0159ekl.

Ministr dopravy Bahnam B\u00falus tvrd\u00ed, \u017ee americk\u00e1 firma Stevedoring Services \u017e\u00e1d\u00e1 po vl\u00e1d\u011b za vylo\u017een\u00ed tuny n\u00e1kladu v p\u0159\u00edstavu Umm Kasr 12 dolar\u016f, zat\u00edmco v p\u0159\u00edstavech v Dubaji \u010di Kuvajtu se b\u011b\u017en\u011b plat\u00ed t\u0159i dolary. Z\u00e1stupce firmy tvrd\u00ed, \u017ee vysokou cenu spole\u010dnost p\u016fvodn\u011b nasadila, by za\u010dal b\u00fdt p\u0159\u00edstav sob\u011bsta\u010dn\u00fd.

Abbad\u00ed pouk\u00e1zal tak\u00e9 na dal\u0161\u00ed probl\u00e9m: Lukrativn\u00ed kontrakty se podez\u0159ele \u010dasto dost\u00e1vaj\u00ed k lidem z vl\u00e1dn\u00ed rady. Kontrakt pro oper\u00e1tory mobiln\u00edch telefon\u016f z\u00edskal nejbli\u017e\u0161\u00ed spolupracovn\u00edk \u010dlena ir\u00e1ck\u00e9 vl\u00e1dn\u00ed rady Ahmada \u0160alab\u00edho. B\u00fdval\u00e1 disidentka Tamara Dagest\u00e1n\u00edov\u00e1 nemilosrdn\u011b kritizovala svr\u017eenou vl\u00e1du a te\u010f je nem\u00e9n\u011b nesmi\u0159iteln\u00e1 v\u016f\u010di civiln\u00ed spr\u00e1v\u011b. Roz\u010diluje ji, \u017ee navzdory pen\u011bz\u016fm, kter\u00e9 do Ir\u00e1ku proud\u00ed, nen\u00ed pr\u00e1ce pro m\u00edstn\u00ed kvalifikovan\u00e9 d\u011bln\u00edky. Podle spr\u00e1vy dosahuje m\u00edra nezam\u011bstnanosti 75 procent. „Po v\u00e1lce v Persk\u00e9m z\u00e1livu sem nesm\u011bli zahrani\u010dn\u00ed d\u011bln\u00edci, nebyly n\u00e1hradn\u00ed d\u00edly, a p\u0159esto byly v\u0161echny mosty opraveny a dod\u00e1vka elekt\u0159iny obnovena v kr\u00e1tk\u00e9m \u010dase. Bylo to dokonce rychleji ne\u017e v Kuvajtu,“ \u0159\u00edk\u00e1 Dagest\u00e1n\u00edov\u00e1. Je mo\u017en\u00e9, \u017ee hlavn\u00ed chyba Ameri\u010dan\u016f v Ir\u00e1ku je neschopnost rozli\u0161it, v \u010dem Ir\u00e1\u010dan\u00e9 pot\u0159ebuj\u00ed pomoc a \u010deho jsou schopni sami. Pomoc je jist\u011b na m\u00edst\u011b v ot\u00e1zce bezpe\u010dnosti \u010di u\u010den\u00ed demokracii. Ale pro\u010d je t\u0159eba v zemi s tolika kvalifikovan\u00fdmi lidmi zapot\u0159eb\u00ed tolik zahrani\u010dn\u00edch firem? I ministr obrany Donald Rumsfeld p\u0159iznal, \u017ee Ir\u00e1\u010dan\u00e9 jsou mnohem vzd\u011blan\u011bj\u0161\u00ed ne\u017e nap\u0159\u00edklad Afgh\u00e1nci a \u017ee jsou z\u0159ejm\u011b schopni postavit svou ekonomiku na nohy sami. P\u0159evaha Ameri\u010dan\u016f i v takov\u00fdch oblastech, jako je bankovnictv\u00ed, odporuje v\u00fdrok\u016fm George Bushe, kter\u00fd pr\u00fd chce v Ir\u00e1ku co nejd\u0159\u00edve voln\u00fd trh. P\u0159ib\u00fdvaj\u00edc\u00ed davy Ameri\u010dan\u016f v zemi jsou st\u00e1le snadn\u011bj\u0161\u00edm ter\u010de ozbrojenc\u016f a ir\u00e1\u010dt\u00ed in\u017een\u00fd\u0159i, kte\u0159\u00ed by pracovali za mnohem men\u0161\u00ed mzdy ne\u017e ameri\u010dt\u00ed, jsou bez pr\u00e1ce. USA tvrdohlav\u011b odm\u00edtaj\u00ed po\u017eadavek z\u00e1padn\u00edch zem\u00ed na co nejrychlej\u0161\u00ed p\u0159ed\u00e1n\u00ed moci Ir\u00e1\u010dan\u016fm a br\u00e1n\u00ed se zve\u0159ejnit detaily sv\u00fdch budouc\u00edch pl\u00e1n\u016f v Ir\u00e1ku. Mezi Ir\u00e1\u010dany proti nim nezadr\u017eiteln\u011b vzr\u016fst\u00e1 odpor. Nem\u011bla by se k Bushovi don\u00e9st v\u011bta, kterou ned\u00e1vno pronesla t\u0159in\u00e1ctilet\u00e1 ir\u00e1ck\u00e1 \u0161kola\u010dka, kter\u00e1 chod\u00ed do jedn\u00e9 ze \u0161kol opraven\u00fdch firmou Bechtel a vybavenou americk\u00fdm n\u00e1bytkem? „Kdysi jsem musela nosit ta\u0161ku, na kter\u00e9 byla fotografie Sadd\u00e1ma Husajna, te\u010f mus\u00edm nosit bra\u0161nu s americkou vlajkou,“ \u0159ekla. Jestli Spojen\u00e9 st\u00e1ty opravdu cht\u011bj\u00ed osvobodit Ir\u00e1k, m\u011bly by Ir\u00e1\u010dany nechat d\u011blat to, co um\u011bj\u00ed i bez ciz\u00ed pomoci, uzav\u00edr\u00e1 Newsweek.<\/p>\n
