Extractions: GVNews.Net Crisis Capsule NEW YORK, Jan 06, 2003 Over the weekend British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw told a conclave of British diplomats that he thought the odds were 60/40 against war with Iraq - even while Britain prepared to send 20,000 troops to fight the war that he claimed was unlikely. He did not explain the basis of his calculation; however we can presume that it will include the odds of Saddam Hussein, George Bush, or both, having a lucid moment. Frankly, it is not a good bet. The war may be later than the White House wants, and the Pentagon may have to boost the air conditioning in its tanks and HUMVs, and distribute more rehydration kits to the troops, but even before he exhorted the embarking warriors over the weekend, George W. Bush has made it plain that he wants war. And he is likely to get it unless Saddam Hussein decides to spend his declining years fishing and dandling his grandchildren on his knee.

Extractions: POPULATION: 22,757,092 Position: Saudi Arabia initially said it would not join a second war in Iraq, but agreed to allow the U.S.-led coalition to use its airspace and the Prince Sultan Air Base. Two weeks after the U.S.-led attack was launched, government appointed clerics told the country that Saddam and his infidel regime weren't worth fighting for. However, there have been reports that some Saudis have crossed the border and joined the Iraqi regime's fight against U.S. coalition forces. Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Saud told the Associated Press on Aug.7, 2002, that the Iraqi people alone must choose their leader, as opposed to armed forces effecting a leadership change. He noted that Iraq's offer to invite UN weapons inspectors - who had not been in the country since December 1998 - signaled that an attack was not necessary.

http://www.traveldocs.com/iq/geog.htm

Extractions: Iraq Iraq is bordered by Kuwait, Iran, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. The country slopes from mountains over 3,000 meters (10,000 ft.) above sea level along the border with Iran and Turkey to the remnants of sea-level, reedy marshes in the southeast. Much of the land is desert or wasteland. The mountains in the northeast are an extension of the alpine system that runs eastward from the Balkans into southern Turkey, northern Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan, terminating in the Himalayas. Average temperatures range from higher than 48 degrees C (120 degrees F) in July and August to below freezing in January. Most of the rainfall occurs from December through April and averages between 10 and 18 centimeters (4-7 in.) annually. The mountainous region of northern Iraq receives appreciably more precipitation than the central or southern desert region. Area: 437,072 sq. km.; about the size of California.

Extractions: Kuwait is a small state located in the northwestern corner of the Arabian, or Persian, Gulf (referred to hereafter simply as "the Gulf"). Approximately the size of New Jersey, Kuwait covers an area of 17,818 sq kilometers (6,880 sq. miles). At its widest points, Kuwait is 200 kilometers (124 miles) from north to south and 170 kilometers (106 miles) from east to west. The country's most prominent geographical feature is Kuwait Bay, a large natural inlet that extends 40 km into the mainland. There are nine islands in the country's territorial waters: Warbah, Bubiyan, Maskan, Failaka, Awhah, Umm Al-Naml, Kubbar, Qaruh, and Umm Al-Maradim. The densely inhabited island of Failaka, lying 20 kilometers northeast of Kuwait City at the mouth of Kuwait Bay, is thought by some to be the northernmost point of the Bronze Age civilization of Dilmun. There is also evidence that Failaka (referred to at the time as Ikoras) was settled by Alexandrian troops sometime after 323 BC.

Extractions: Iraq, the cradle of civilization, is situated in the north-east of the great Arab homeland of which it is an important part. It lies to the north-east of the Arabian Peninsula, itself part of South-West Asia of which Iraq is an extension, because of their similar geophysical structures. Iraq is in the southern part of the North Temperate Zone between latitudes 29.5 - 37.25 and longitudes 38.45 - 45.48.

Extractions: Introduction Geography People Government ... Transnational Issues Iraq Introduction Top of Page Background: Formerly part of the Ottoman Empire, Iraq became an independent kingdom in 1932. A "republic" was proclaimed in 1958, but in actuality a series of military strongmen have ruled the country since then, the latest being SADDAM Husayn. Territorial disputes with Iran led to an inconclusive and costly eight-year war (1980-1988). In August 1990 Iraq seized Kuwait, but was expelled by US-led, UN coalition forces during January-February 1991. The victors did not occupy Iraq, however, thus allowing the regime to stay in control. Following Kuwait's liberation, the UN Security Council (UNSC) required Iraq to scrap all weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles and to allow UN verification inspections. UN trade sanctions remain in effect due to incomplete Iraqi compliance with relevant UNSC resolutions.

Extractions: Under nearly constant warfare for the past 22 years, the landlocked Central Asian nation successfully fought off a nine-year invasion from the Soviet Union in 1989. Shortly thereafter, the rebel groups, or mujahadin, began fighting each other, culminating in a civil war that is still underway. The Taliban, a group of Islamic fundamentalists, controls 90% of Afghanistan, including the capital of Kabul. The allow Osama bin Laden, a former mujahadin soldier, to set up camp in Afghanistan as their "guest." Pakistan Afghanistan's neighbor to the east, Pakistan was the United States' primary ally in Central Asia during the Cold War. Pakistan has been engaging in sporadic warfare with India for more than 40 years over the province of Kashmir, which each nation claims. Pakistan last made news in 1998, when it detonated a series of nuclear devices to match India's atomic capabilities. The subsequent international sanctions resulting from the tests have left Pakistan economically weakened. Now the leadership must balance a desire to assist the United States with the resulting backlash from Pakistani Islamic militants, who support the Taliban.
