Farrakhan Speaks: Iraq is an Unjust War

The war in Iraq is not your war; that's Israel's war. Iraq was not an enemy of America as such; Iraq could not do anything to America. I've been there on several occasions. For the last 12 years under UN sanctions, the Iraqis could not protect their own airspace. There were "no fly" zones in the north and south, and America and England bombed Iraq at will. For 12 long years, you have never read that one American or British plane was shot down. So, how can a nation that cannot protect its airspace be a threat to a superpower like America? Iraq has the second largest reserve of oil in the world. Afghanistan is the greatest producer of the poppy, which produces heroin. We may not agree with some of the harsh religous edicts of the Taliban, but drugs were not flowing when the Taliban was in power, but now the drugs are freely moving. The aim of the West is Guns, Oil, and Drugs. This is the god in whom America trusts. Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Libya hated the fact that Israel took land from the Palestinians, so these countries were an inveterate enemy of Israel. So, how does Ariel Sharon inspire America to go to war with Iraq, when Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11? The neo-conservatives who manipulate the government are like the rudder of a ship. The rudder is a small thing, but it turns a big ship in the ocean. The rudder that is turning America is not your elected officials; it's that small influential group of neo-conservatives that are using America's power to destroy the enemies of Israel. [more]
