Is The World Saying We Cannot Curb Terror Without Dictators? – By Chiman Salih: Chiman Salih is a legal consultant, writer and journalist.
Mr.Tony Blair, the former UK prime minister, said in his statement about the Chilcot Report: “I will at the same time say why, nonetheless, I believe that it was better to remove Saddam Hussein and why I do not believe this is the cause of the terrorism we see today whether in the Middle East or elsewhere in the world. “ Mr. Blair also said that “… if the people agree or disagree with me, I took military action to remove Saddam Hussein from power in good faith .” – I agree with you Mr Former Prime minister.

MESOP: For to read: iraq’s missing minorities / IRIN NEWS
9 July 2016 – As we pore over the Chilcot Inquiry, there is more than enough present-day evidence that Iraq is suffering. Suicide bombers attacked a Shia shrine north of Baghdad on Friday, and the death toll from a Sunday suicide bombing in the capital has been raised to 292. Here’s some more: a report from Minority Rights International on the disappearance of the country’s minorities highlights how Yazidis, Turkmen, Shabak, Christians and Kakai’i have been disproportionately affected by violence since the start of 2014. Those not killed, abducted, or otherwise abused, have been forced from their homes, live as IDPs or have fled the country. Iraq’s Christian population – 1.4 million in 2003 – was down to 350,000 in early 2014 and is now some 250,000. The question of returns or justice for those who have suffered at the hands of so-called Islamic State, the Iraqi forces, or their allied militias, has not been properly addressed, the report argues. This in itself risks alienation, possible radicalisation, or a complete exodus of these groups. In a country rife with sectarian tension, the disappearance of what diversity is left would be yet another major loss. Read all http://www.irinnews.org/

MESOP INSIDERS : Russia revamps air force array in Syria & Mid East / DEBKA FILES
9 July 2016 – Moscow has decided to send additional advanced aircraft, including K-52 helicopter gunships, to Syria “in order to strengthen the Russian military grouping that takes part in anti-terrorist operations” – Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuriy Ivanovich Borisov announced this week. The new consignment, he said, would replace the bombers and Su-25 fighter jets which will be recalled to Russia.
The Ka-52, ‘Alligator’- NATO codename “Hokum-B” – is a two-seat attack helicopter which fits the requirements of the different battle sites in Syria. Rated one of the world’s most sophisticated of its kind, it is highly maneuverable, capable of abruptly altering flight directions and angles without prior adjustments.

EIN EUROPA, DAS SINN HÄTTE, FRAGTE NICHT DANACH – (Nach Th. W. Adorno, Negative Dialektik)
DIE NEUEN GESAMT-SOUVERÄNE WÄHLEN FEUDAL DEN CHEF IHRES PARLAMENTS
Juncker: Schulz soll bleiben Europaparlamentspräsident – Martin Schulz sollte nach Ansicht des EU-Kommissionsvorsitzenden Jean-Claude Juncker länger als geplant im Amt bleiben. Die europäischen Institutionen sollten in den nächsten zweieinhalb Jahren so weitergeführt werden wie bisher, sagte Juncker der Zeitschrift „Spiegel”. Europa stünden schwierige Zeiten bevor. „Wir brauchen Stabilität.” Nach ursprünglichen festen Absprachen mit den Konservativen müsste Schulz (SPD) seinen Posten im Januar 2017 an einen Kandidaten der Europäischen Volkspartei (EVP) abgeben. Zuletzt hatte die EVP-Fraktion im EU-Parlament auf einen Führungswechsel zum Jahresende gedrungen. Die größte Parlamentsfraktion wolle einen eigenen Kandidaten aufstellen, hieß es. Im Falle einer Neubesetzung des Postens wäre neben dem EU-Kommission- und dem EU-Ratspräsidenten auch der Parla-mentspräsident ein Konservativer. Etliche Sozialdemokraten wollen dies aber verhindern.
