Abstract

Nakon Zaljevskog rata Irak je postao meta SAD-a. SAD je uvjeravao svjetsku i međunarodnu javnost kao i institucije da postoji globalna prijetnja od stane Iraka. Ova je prijetnja opravdana navodnim postojanjem oružja za masovno uništenje kao i prijetnjom od terorizma. Iako su se u Iraku provodile inspekcije, navedene optužbe nikada nisu potvrđene te se sve više uočavalo kako iza sve postoji jedna druga pozadina. Naime, stručnjaci danas upozoravaju da je SAD u navedenom imao svoje vlastite interese koji se odnose na interese njegovih elita te na energetske interese. Cijela situacija kulminirala je ratom koji je započeo 2003. godine i trajao je sve do 2011. U to je vrijeme Irak bitno gospodarski oslabio, a situacija je dodatno zakomplicirana 2012. godine s novom prijetnjom od tzv. Islamske Države. Stoga se može reći kako je Irak, poradi svoje geopolitičke pozicije zanimljiv svjetskim silama te da one često kreiraju politiku koja će se prema Iraku provoditi, a ona nikako nije usmjerena prema dobrobiti iračkog naroda bez obzira što se često poziva na dobrobit, upravo, Izraelaca, odnosno što se njihovom dobrobiti opravdavaju često i nehumani te prema međunarodnim konvencijama nedopustivi potezi. Jedan od takvih poteza je i oružani napad na Irak koji nikako nije u skladu s Poveljom Ujedinjenih naroda koja naglašava da se međunarodni odnosi trebaju rješavati mirnim putem, a ne oružanim napadima.

Abstract (english)

After the Gulf war, Iraq has became USA's target. USA tried to convince the world and international public as well as institutions that Iraq is a global threat. This threat has been justified by their alleged possesion of weapons of mass destruction together with the terrorism threat they oppose. Even though these threats had been inscpected they were never confirmed which shred a new ligh on these events. Experts today claim that USA was acting upon it's own interests which mainly concern interests of USA's elite and energy interstes. The entire situation escalated in war which started in 2003. and lasted until 2011. In the meantime, Iraq has economically weakened and situation became even more complicated in 2012. when Islamic State emerged. It can be stated that Iraq's geopolitical position has made it an interesting subject to world powers which are also making a decision what kind of politics is suitable for Iraq. They are often justifying that everything was done for a good cause, especially regarding Israelis. These decisions sometimes also include direct actions that are unacceptable by the international conventions. One of these actions include the armed attack on Iraq that is certainly not in a line with the Chater of the United Nations which emphasize that international affairs should be taken care of peacefully and not with armed attack.
