Isam Al Khafaji, University of Amsterdam Political Science Lecturer, and enemy of Chalabi. It is quite telling that in this earlier article, he calls on the U.S. to drop the embargoes against Iraq and chose a symbolic path. He also praises Clinton and blames the U.S., in part, for September 11 in another article he wrote entitled, "The Road to Hell". It is also indicitive of his true nature that the article is carried on such liberal websites as Media Monitors Network" and The Global Site UK. To quote Mr. Al-Khafaji from "the Road to Hell":

"And even today, and despite the overwhelming sympathy and support for the US in this latest tragedy, isn't it curious that the US did not even ask the UN Security Council to convene in order to authorize the use of force, which it would most probably do- against the perpetrators of the heinous attack? And despite all the American discourse on globalization, nothing but ultranationalism smells out of ex-Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright labeling of the United States as "the indispensable nation". But why are other nations dispensable?? Albright's answer is a literary piece on arrogance: "we stand tall and hence see further than other nations." And it is all the more frightening to think that the quasi- unanimous sympathy with the US today could intensify such a chauvinistic attitude, rather than a profound reassessment of the basic principles of US foreign policy."

Isam Al-Khafaji's presentation of himself as a solid supporter of the new Iraqi government, surprised by U.S. "arrogance", is a blatant misrepresentation...

So why did we pick him to be on this council?
