The daily Azzaman newspaper said Friday the vulnerable security situation in Iraq requires "moderate leadership" for its support and sustainability.
The editorial with the title "The state of Iraq in the regional embargo" said the crisis in Iraq and the miserable ordeals that followed it, from the relative stability in some areas to unrest in the others, is vulnerable and requires an investigation into the reasons that lead to instability.
It called for an analysis into the underlying causes behind the unrest to find solutions to prevent the situation from deteriorating under any circumstances.
"Crisis in Iraq could happen again because of enablers who have a regional and international interest in driving Iraq back into the same pit of violence," it said.
It said the Iraq crisis was a result of several intertwined projects that are tied to internal goals having external benefits.
It said these projects served the benefit of foreign interests by using the devastation of the Iraqi people as a means to destroy the infrastructure and the economy, prevent reconstruction and the general establishment of educational, executive, judicial, political and economic institutions.
The editorial listed several factors it considered had led to the violence in Iraq and called for their further analysis.
Imperial countries with imperial objectives in Iraq see the country as the cradle of civilization and therefore the basis for any sense of empire. And invading the civilization of Iraq is the first step to building a new empire which depends on a new civilization, it said.
"Eliminating and ending the Iraqi civilization is the shortest and easiest way to push for new civilizations for these empires," it noted.
Iraq is a source of natural wealth, human resources, energy and one of the few land routes to the seas and oceans in the region, it added.
It said another reason for the violence in Iraq is its regional neighbors were influenced by the role of the "emperor" and were either supportive of its creation in an effort to reap the benefits, or afraid it may lose those benefits if Iraq were to become a stable country.
"Each of the regional countries dreams of solely controlling the region after diminishing the influence of Iraq, while many others are rebelling against such influence for fear of being the next target," Azzaman said.
A third reason for the regional interest in sustaining the violence in Iraq, the newspaper said, is competition from Arab countries to prevent the emergence of sequential empires which have kept them in a constant state of turmoil in an effort to bring regime change to the region.
"The policy of consistent violence in Iraq, according to the emperor project, may serve the regional goals and interests," it added.
The London-based Azzaman newspaper said a fourth reason for violence, which needs further analysis, is the role industrial countries have played in keeping oil-producing countries in a one-dimensional track toward economic development; an attempt by the industrialized powers to guarantee the flow of oil while the oil-producing countries are kept in need of their "support."
