【The Gulf War broke out after the Cold War was over】

《Both of the camp of the East and West educated Iraq》

Hussein invaded Kuwait after he attacked Iran,for Iraq used to have powerful military forces,but the result of the Cold War between the East and the West educated Iraq.

The author said he is going to express on the Cold War in details in the next chapter. In short,it’s a battling in which each side tried to seize other’s home base in the world.

Both of America and Soviet branched out to other countries so as to ask for each alliance. The Middle East was the place where Europe and Asia are close to,so the place used to be the front of the battling in which each side tried to size other’s home base,especially both Iraq and Iran are great power in the Middle East.

Iran proceeded its moderninization,receiving a support from the U.S.A. under the Pahlavi Government until the Government was overthrown by the Iranian Revolution in 1979.

On the other hand, the Soviet Union had backed up Iraq which is next to Iran, opposing to the U.S.A.,especially Iraqi army was equipped with weapons made by the Soviet Union, and received military training from the Soviet Union then.

So there used to be two groups. The U.S.A. assisted Iran, and the Soviet Union did Iraq.

The Pahlavi king adopted a line of modernization by supporting from the U.S.A. Then the gap between the poor and the rich became bigger. The modernization was done so suddenly that a social confusion spread among the people in Iran.

The people in Iran were dissatisfied with the modernization, and Iranian Revolution led by Khomeini who adopted Islamic fundamentalism started. Khomeini called the U.S.A. a terrible devil and he opposed against the U.S.A.

As a result.the U.S.A. had lost its influence over Iran, moreover it had been cautious that the Islamic…

…moreover the U.S.A. had been cautious about the Islamic Fundamentalism of Iran spread over the other Arabian countries, for the Islamic Fundamentalism was hostile to the U.S.A. If it spread over other countries, there was a fear that the American influential power over the other countries was lost.

As a result, the U.S.A. and other Western countries had learned to help Iran so as to restrain Iraq.

For example, on the first day of an air raid on the Gulf War, the French Air Force didn’t join in the air raid, for the Iraqi Air Force had a combat plane of Mirage made by France. France also used to do military assistance for Iraq.

There was a fear that the French Air Force mistook its friends for enemies. After multinational forces commanded the air, and the French Air Force didn’t have to be worried about that any Iraqi combat plane attacked it, so it also joined the war.

The episode in which the French Air Force joined the Gulf War means that both camps on the East and the West educated the Iraqi army.

The invasion to Kuwait by Iraq showed us the order of the Cold War between the East and the West was over.

After the Great World War Ⅱ,the whole world was divided into the Western group of which center was the U.S.A. and other one of which center was the Soviet Union, and the opposition continued for a long time. It’s the Cold War between the East and the West.

Gorbachev President stopped policy which he looked upon the Western countries as enemy right before the invasion to Kuwait by Iraq and the whole world started for the end of the Cold War.

《The ending of the order of the Cold War 》

If the invasion to Kuwait by Iraq had happened at the time of the Cold War, the U.S.A.would have thought that there should be the Soviet Union behind the Iraq, and then there was a fear that it developed into the full scale war between the U.S.A. and the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union who was afraid of the full scale war would have braked the Iraq’s behaviors. In short the Cold War between the East and the West was a kind of the order.

The Cold War was over and the kind of the order also came to and end, then the invasion by Iraq broke out before a new order was established.

To be exact, Hussein aimed at the blank of the order and took into action. He seemed to judge like the next.

The Cold War was over. Both the U.S.A. and the Soviet Union were worried about the things in the future so much that they couldn’t treat a thing in the Middle East, so it’s a good chance.

Even if invading Kuwait, no other countries stopped Iraq by military force, though they gave international criticism to Iraq, Hussein figured like that.

However Hussein’s ambition and figure led to a miscalculation. His behavior which aimed at the blank at the time of the Cold War between the East and the West made the whole world arrange well as the form of anti Iraq.

Both of the Secretary of the State and the Soviet Union criticized Iraq invaded Kuwait. It symbolized that the world was well arranged as anti Iraq.

The next day of Iraq invasion, both of the Secretaries issued a joint statement, and criticized Iraq. The Secretary of the Soviet Union said like the next.

We have to say its a severe decision for us, for Iraq had been a friendship nation for the Soviet Union for the long time, but we’re forced to do like that.

《Ending the Cold War caused an international reaction of anti Iraq》

The United Nations immediately arranged criticized resolution against invasion by Iraq and formed multinational force. When it was in the middle of the Cold War, there was no doubt that the Soviet Union opposed the resolution, but the Soviet Union didn’t.

Far from it, the Soviet Union offered military information that it supplied weapon to Iraqi army to the U.S.A.

The action of Hussein received criticism from both camps of the East and West, for the Cold War was over. The invasion of Iraq symbolized the ending of the Cold War with double meaning.

《Iraq aimed at invading Israel》

Hussein adopted a clever tactic against the international criticism.

When the Gulf War broke out Iraq often launched scud missiles against Israel so as to make Israel drag into the war, so plenty of Israeli people were dead.

If the provocation made Israel participate in the war, Arabian various countries thought that they hated Israel more than Iraq, and there must be disarray among the multinational force, Hussein thought like that.

However the U.S.A. desperately persuaded Israel not to be provoked by Iraq, so Israel accepted the persuasion, and refrain from attacking Iraq, so the situation didn’t proceed as Iraq expected.

After invasion Kuwait by Iraq ten days passed, Hussein suggested Israel withdraw from the occupied territory as condition that Iraqi army withdrew.

Bringing up the problem on Israel made the invasion Kuwait change into other problem between Arab and Israel, and trying to get support from Arabian various countries. Hussein’s intention was like that.

It was the PLO which showed support for Iraq at once. The PLO is an organization by the people who became refugees because Israel occupied the land.

Saudi Arabia felt threat direct from Iraq so terribly that Saudi Arabia was enraged at the PLO. Though Saudi Arabia continued to finance the PLO, but the finance was cut off. The PLO fell into an awful predicament then.

《A new form of the multinational force》

Bush President at once decided to dispatch the armed force to the Middle East, and called cooperation for various countries. England and France showed they joined the dispatch it, and the multinational force was formed.

A feeling of anti America was deep rooted so strong in various Arabian countries that multinational force which was under leadership of the U.S.A. did not join direct the army of various Arabian countries.

The U.S.A. was the center of the multinational force, though dispatching its domestic army alone wasn’t enough, so the American army which was stationed in Germany was sent to the Middle East.

The American army which was stationed in Germany was opposed against the armies in Soviet Union and Eastern European. As the Cold War between the East and West was over, the American army which was stationed in Germany was sent there. It also symbolized that the Cold War was over.

It wasn’t the United Nation Force but the multinational force which was dispatched to the Gulf War. Why?

If forming the United Nation Force, it takes time to decide which country should join the war, or from which country its commander was chosen.

On the other hand, if it’s the multinational force, the commander is selected from the country which is the center of the war, so the chain of command is clear.

While as to the United Nation Force, the UN pays its expense, each country does the expense each other with regard to the multinational force.

When the conflict over independence on the Eastern Timor broke out in 1999, the multinational force in which center was Australia was sent there, and the commander was also chosen from Australia. Australia is near the Timor Islnad.

When Iraq invaded Kuwait August 2 in 1990, the Security Council of the UN adopted the resolution asking for Iraqi army should withdraw absolutely. It was quick resolution on that day when the invasion was done.

After that the resolution which blamed Iraq for its invasion like economic sanction was done one after another.

If the Iraqi army withdrew from Kuwait by January 15 in 1990, UN decided to adopt necessary all the ways so as to get rid of the Iraqi army.

While China abstained from voting to the resolution, the Soviet Union approved of it.

The necessary all the ways gave the multinational force a reasonable ground that it could attack Iraq, it was a kind of certificate for its action.

Then American gigantic bomber planes took from a base in Louisiana just before the dead line, being refueled in the air several times, and approached Iraq. They launched missiles to Iraq and returned to America.

They crossed the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea and did the long distance bombing.

The American gigantic bomber planes attacked from the American bases in England or Spain. It was the attack of uniting American whole forces.

In addition invisible planes of stealth fighters which were hard to be detected in a radar approached Iraq in secret, and bombed radar bases, communications media, power plants, and substations in Iraq.

Besides the Iraqi army lost the way of communicating with the operational units. When the Iraqi army ordered the Iraqi unit in Kuwait, it was forced to rely on a primitive way. Some members of Iraqi army sent the message of the Iraqi army to the Iraqi unit in Bagdad.

It took about two days to the one way to Kuwait. The war had been decided, but the multinational force bombed the Iraqi army from the sky day after day, and destroyed fighters, missiles and tanks one by one in Iraqi army.

The air raid went on more than one month, and the Iraqi army was shattered thoroughly. After that the multinational force started a ground war.

The attack caught the Iraqi army unprepared, and the Iraqi army became so exhausted from the air raid for a long time that the soldiers in the Iraqi army started to capitulate one after another.

The number of soldier who surrendered and became a captive was so much that the multinational force was forced to take care of their captives. It made the advance of the multinational force slow.

When Iraq launched a missile for Israel an intercept missile deployed by the U.S.A army stroke down, and its picture was often also open on TV. The U.S.A army showed off the power on the weapon of high technology there.

However even if the intercept missile hit the missile from Iraq, it’s just that it failed in the destruction on the warhead 弾頭, and the warhead fell on the ground and it caused damage, according to a verification after the war.

The black smoke which the petroleum blazed up covered over Kuwait, and it rained. The rain included the petroleum and it was black and caused a terrible air pollution.

In addition, Iraq released crude oil into the Persian Gulf from the shipping point of petroleum in Kuwait. It caused serious contamination In the Persian Gulf.

【What I've thought】

Hello. I've not seen you for a long time. How are you. I'm wondering if it　seems to happen various things here when I wasnt, for there are some responses which were deleted.

Moreover someone who is stranger to me contributed its responses here, but to my sorrow, I'm not interested in the Japanese military commander of Mr.Maeda so and so at all.

At first, before complaining something, I'm sure I have to appoligize few people who may be worried about me. I'm sorry. It doesn't always mean that I've learned to hate to study English.

It's shameful of me to leave my English threads alone for a long time like that. It doesn't always mean I neglect to study English, but it's just that I continue to read English books until now.

I'm not sure whether or not my ablity for English is useful in the
future,for instruments for translator seems to have developed extremely,though originall my English abilty has been useless for me until now. It's just that I love English.

【What I've thought】

When I've left alone all my English threads, I've read some English books,and one of them Angel and Demon written by Dan Brown. Its theme is religion and science,I'm wondering.

I think there are some people who don't read it, so I can't tell you its detail here, but I found it interesting.

Is religion compatible with science? It seems its author asked readers in the book.

Development on science has made the Christanity be on the verge of crisis,for it shows them some contradiction on the Christanity.

I'm sure no one believes in the Ptolemaic theory 天動説　at present ,though the earth seemed to be used to be the center in the universe in the Bible.

As a result,it seems that lots of the Christanity were shaken badly,but is science almighty? Has science made us the human being be happy? For example,an nuclear energy. One of characters said in the book.

Religious problem seems to be serious for the Western people,but needless to say, I'm Japanese,so I'm not sure.

• 共感0

【What I've thought】

In general, it is said we the Japanese aren't interested in religion. When being in childhood,we are being celebrated in shrine like what is called 753 on November 15.

On the other hand we love Christmas,though I doubt whether if we believe in the Christanity. Christmas isn't an excuse for making love. I'm sure plenty of the Japanese go to hell if there is the hell.

Besides, when being dead our funeral is mostly Buddism.

When facing something hard,we tend to whisper Oh,God,and whenever something unlucky, we're apt to grieve,it never seems to be the God nor the Budda,but we never believed in both of them in the first place.

Science or religion? I don't think we have to choose only one,for I'm sure we need both of them,for while science isn't always almighty, we can't think of everyday life without civilization which we make use of.

On the other hand is something religious unnecessary for us? I don't think so,for science can't get rid of all of our anxiety.

［The Media was controlled thoroughly.］

Then the number of the reporter was about 1400 in Saudi Arabia,and the American army limited the number of the reporters who accompanied to the military movements to 192,for it could control the number.

Without acceptance from the American army,those reporters couldn't report their news in the least.

A successful image of an air raid by mulitinational force alone was open at a press conferrence over and over again.

When starting the ground war,a false news was told to the press as feint operation. It said the multinational force will land on the eastern seaside in Kuwait.

It is said when starting the war,it is the truth which is sacrificed at first, and it was demonstrated then,the author said like that.

［Japan is a loser in the Gulf War］

Each country which joined the Gulf War shared the expense for the activity by the multinatinal force. America was forced to spent a large amount ...

【The Gulf War broke out after the Cold War was over】

〔Japan was also a loser in the Gulf War〕

America requested Japan should spend on suitable money on the activity for the multinational force, for keeping peace in the area of the Gulf brings Japan some profits.

As a result, Japan decieded to spend no less than $ 1.3 million on helping the multinatinal force, without making sure how the large amount of money was used concretely.

In addition, then the Minister of Finance who decided the bill, Ryuutarou Hashimoto neglected to make sure whether the money was paid by dolloar or yen.

When paying the money actually,the yen was so weak that Japanese disbursement 支払い　increased so much.

After the Gulf War, Kuwait ran an advertisement thanking for countries which supported Kuwait in newspaper,but Japan wasn't included in the countries. It caused an argument that Japan was also a loser in the Gulf War.

Moreover there was a criticism in the political world of the U.S.A like

〔Japan was also a loser in the Gulf War〕

While lots of people shed　blood in the battlefield in the multinational force,it's just that Japan paid money. Is it all right? This caused to debate how Japan should contribute the international society.

Then the Japanese government proposed that Japan should also make a contribution to the international society,and dispatched military unit to the Perusian Gulf so as to get rid of underwater mines.

The underwater mines react on metals and explode, so the wooden ships were dispatched.

How should Japan contribute to the internatioanl society?

We argued the pros and cons 賛否両論 on the matter then, so the bill what is called PKO was approved.

It seemed that the Gulf War asked us what Japan could do in order to contribute to the peace in the International society,but the argument was caused by the pressure from abroad,American criticism,so it didn't lead calm discussion in Japan.

〔Japan was also a loser in the Gulf War〕

While it is said the Cold War was over,so the Gulf War broke out, the Cold War was over, so the encircle net over the Iraq by the international society came true.

The Gulf War symbolized the end of the Cold War with a that double meaning. By the way, what is the Cold War? We are going to look back the modern history at the point of view in the second chapter, said like the author, so I'm going to express his remarks into English as it was.
　
〔After the Gulf War〕

After the Gulf War,Hussein maintained his power as President in Iraq,but the synchronized terrorist attacks in 2001.9.11.changed his fate greatly.

Then the American President was Bush, who was the son of the one in the Gulf War. He proclaimed the fight against the terrorism,and attacked Afghanistan and Iraq.

〔After the Gulf War〕

...so the President Bush said they'd attack Iraq before they were attacked,but as they coudn't discover the plenty of destructive weapons,they changed their slogan into bringing democracy in Iraq.

Then Hussein was captured,and sentenced to death penalty in the court of the Iraqi people,and was put to death executed December in 2006. He was charge of inhuman crime.

However then Iraq which was integreted by despotic government of Hussein fell into a great disorder,and it was equal to tragic civil war.

〔The Wall in Berlin collapsed,which means that the Cold War was over〕

..for it reminds him of lots of people who trying to climb up the Wall and escaped into the Western Germany.

The government in the Eastrn Germany used to say that a large part of its nation supported the present politcal system,but it turned out to be false.

When the author was born, there was the Wall there, and he found it natural,but it collapsed in front of him through the image of TV,and he thought this was the collapse of the Cold War,and was glued to his TV sets.

The Cold War after the Great War Ⅱ caused various tragedies like dividing Germany into East and West,confrontation between China and Taipei,Korean War,and Vietnam War.

While two countries fight against each other,we call it a hot war,the countries don't fight actually direct,but it's a kind war,a cold war,so the word was born.

However even if we use the word of the cold war,it's just that there was no direct ...
