The military-political situation in the Gulf region over the past decade has been aggravated. Internal political tensions and inter-confessional conflict in Iraq led to the militarization of the region, activity of Islamic fundamentalists. Then various extremist organizations and groups create d an environment of heightened conflict. All this created favorable conditions for external interference. For a long time the United States carried out a variety of activities of political-diplomatic, economic, military, informational and other measures to establish the control over Iraq and its neighboring countries, but at this moment we must admit that we do not deploy US forces to Iraq to help stabilize the country. Our official position is unchanged and we will adhere to a strict neutrality with regard to Iraq. We need to focus on the settlement of regional, local conflicts as a basis for peace and security, but not through military means.
The American unilateral sanctions can be imposed for the protection of the international community on Iraq. Sanctions could include an embargo on the export to Iran of nuclear, missile and military products, the maximum limit flows of foreign direct investment in the gas and oil industry. More recently, the Iraqi leadership was strongly opposed any concessions have been in terms of development of the nuclear program. Now the situation has changed.
The ineffectiveness of the political decision when it becomes mutual disadvantages for both objects and subjects for the political process. Therefore, our decision must take into account the costs and benefits that will be achieved later. Government decisions balance between equity and efficiency so “Iraq’s lessons can help other countries of the Arab world make smoother, more successful transitions” (O’Sullivan). The existence of the authoritarian regime, the repression against the opposition, the presence of chemical weapons that were used against their own people were an important reason for the use of American power but now we have reached their goals as the Iraqi army was reduced three times. The UN Special Commission monitored compliance with sanctions and disarmament of Iraq, the inspectors spent a lot of work to identify chemical, biological and missile weapons and objects related to the creation of nuclear weapons. However, Iraq was required to provide monitoring of the Security Council and the UN Commission on the arms full description of its programs for the development and production of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. These requirements have been met on time. Iraqi leaders agreed to implement UN Security Council resolution number 1409 for changing the sanctions regime and holding the six-month period all procedures related to its implementation. We assumed tightening control over the export to Iraq of military items while removing the restrictions on the supply of civilian products. Baghdad provides immediate, unimpeded, unconditional and unrestricted access to the international arms control inspectors to any and all Iraqi facilities that inspectors deem necessary to verify.
Thus, we can conclude that the process of democratization of Iraq hides under a lot of pitfalls that can negate all the efforts of the international community and the United States. However, despite the difficulties, we have seen significant progress in relation to Iraq's nuclear program because the country is moving in the direction of compromise with the world powers. It is obvious that Iraq is serious and is going to responsibly comply with the terms of the contract. As a result of this phase of the activity, the mission of inspectors prepared a report, which did not contain any significant accusations against Iraq over its holdings of weapons of mass destruction. We sent to Baghdad CIA employees, so we can make sure that Iraq is not hiding weapons of mass destruction, allowing flights over its territory reconnaissance aircraft. It quite clearly shows that international pressure and retreated Hussein comply with the UN demands, although reluctantly. So it was necessary to say that we do not want US forces to stabilize Iraq.
