Will diameters of the Gulf Cooperation Council at the forefront of dealing with variable. Foremost among those affected, at all levels.
Hence, there is a need to reflect on the nature of this development, and by the Gulf, as the interests of the region, and enhances security and stability.
Since 2003, many spoke about the need for formulation of Gulf-Iraq relations on new bases, inspired by data present and elements of the force. Analyzes recent history, and weaknesses and imbalances that UNSTAT was developing.
Of course, a complete at this level did not find its way at the regional level. And that some States seemed more concerned with regard to Iraq, and closer to its developments. Maybe de facto, nothing else.
In any case, the train is not too late. Although time does not serve anyone, since time is a critical factor in the approach to policy and security alike.
The region has witnessed in the past few years, a number of symposia and workshops, which were considered in the development of Iraq, and the political and security environment. But few signals and lights that highlighted how we must strive through them, we are rulers, to redraw our relationship with the Iraqi side.
Initially, it can be argued that the integration of Iraq in the Gulf, or to move to link the Northern Gulf, the middle and southern, is in essence a historical mission, many standards.
This task, it traditionally many researchers, whether in Iraq or the States inside the Gulf (GCC countries).
There are 2 Gulf have enhanced majority saw scientific work, made in the seventh and eighth decades of the twentieth century, at the Gulf-Iraq relations analysis and approach means upgrading.
The first is the periodic journal studies Gulf and the Arabian peninsula ", published by the scientific publishing Council of the University of Kuwait. The first issue was released in January of 1975. As the second Gulf patrol ", Journal of the Arabian Gulf" by Arab Gulf Studies Center at the University of Basra. The first issue was released in 1974.
This scientific work, which was abundant and distinct, unfortunately witnessed a decline from the second half of the 1980s.
There is no reason for this is subjective, but the political and security developments, produced by the Iran-Iraq war, did everything in this region. Research process was not immune from political and geopolitical repercussions.
Thereafter, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait to draw political and security landscape in the whole region, and the first results of the collapse of Iraq's relations with the Gulf and the Arab-majority, which was divided in total.
In fact, not just Kuwait invasion against a sovereign State, and the occupation of its national territory, but, in parallel, stepped on the system of customs and traditions which governed relations among the States of the region.
Despite all that has happened, a number of States in the region, a few years later, in the search for ways to bridge the Gulf-Iraq relations, at a minimum, which was intended to spare the Iraqi people the effects of isolation and blockade, and flute by region more political suffocation and the cold war, which paid for all, each in its own way.
Of course, it was clear that the regime of President Saddam Hussein lived governed by aggressive tendencies, as was volatile in political alliances. Not an easy one to predict the intentions of this system, which benefited from a favourable regional and international environment, it seemed easy to harness the paradigm of its own interests, national ideology under banners, blank content.
I've fallen President Saddam Hussein, a few years ago. And history will judge his foreign and interior details.
It goes without saying that the policies of President Saddam Hussein Interior not less violent and bloody than those adopted with its regional.
Despite this, the meditation in history must not preclude the foresight to present, and seeking its approach as it serves the interests of the region, security and stability and decomposition.
But what can I do on a practical level?.
Initially, the rulers are contributing to the building of Iraq, and support the efforts of the economic and social development. Perhaps this is the shortest way to achieve stability of Mesopotamia, and imply regional stability and security of the Arabian Gulf.
And might argue that the achievement of security and stability of Iraq are the responsibility of security institutions. This is true in all, a verifier today as or another.
However, also true is that the national security of States and territories beyond the understandable question order, organically link with economic and social development in the broader sense. This development find a condition achieved by the interaction of States with geographical surroundings, and exercise a kind of implicit integration, or systematic, with the ocean.
In this sense, it is difficult to say Iraq can be achieved without national security with its regional integration.
We here in the Gulf, we have only to insist on seeing Iraq and national security components has been completed, because it is simply one of the conditions for achieving the security of this region.
We must not shy away from strong Iraq's rulers. But we have to fear much of Iraq is weak, discredited the weigher strategic weight in this region.
And might argue that a strong had invaded Kuwait in 1990.
Indeed, Iraq which invaded Kuwait was not a strong, but a musoma, weary years eight frivolous war lean with Iran.
That Iraq, its leadership, Chlamydia in nationalism, I think that error out of internal crisis could be achieved through military guidance towards the border. But not eastern border, but this time, southern Kuwait.
The case of Iraq, at the end of the 1970s, another model, several universal models, indicating that the military power of the States are not necessarily proportional economic capacity proportional, and overall development indicators.
The end of the regime of President Saddam Hussein has ended a painful history of Gulf-Iraq relations, spanning more than three decades.
If it is necessary today to develop lessons and through this page, most need is to find ways to build the future.
And so do not spend more time and waste effort in worthless ends, we say, unequivocally, that economic development portal represents a realistic option for rebuilding Gulf-Iraq relations.
Gulf States on Sunday to confirm its presence in the ongoing reconstruction projects in Iraq, which preceded us to many countries such as Egypt, Turkey and South Korea.
The Gulf States should initiate economic investment, banking and construction sectors, agriculture in Mesopotamia. And consider this investment as a contribution to enhancing opportunities for the stability of Iraq, which cannot be achieved without regional security components.
The Gulf today to move in this direction, driven by a long-term vision of regional security and the requirements for completion.
The GCC Summit is suitable for major decisions in the area. Must reflect on all outstanding.
