Program

By: Muhammed Abdul Jabbar

This constitutes a strong motive for the government to do its best efforts for success. Second, the agenda have not been drafted in a day and night, i.e. not written rapidly when it was declared late in a negative sign, albeit it is a positive stance so it was written thoroughly, which was meant studying the people's needs and prospects in a way that gathers reality and aspirations.In that way, it is a successful program since it is a comprehensive program and may be difficult to meet its terms.Readiness to meet the agenda, moving around it and ability to live with it, especially ministers, may lead to a success. Yet, the greatest condition to pass the agenda is people's rally around the government and engages in its program to get their benefits.Iraq today witnesses people's adherence with political powers to go on political process.

CRIMINAL… HUMAN RIGHTS

It went on to the point that some were mocking at such high respected concepts by supposing that democrats have to burden the others' lies as it was a matter of double using to the meaning.Thus it was not strange that some of those were advocating criminals' rights though they are murderers and had committed slaughtering innocents under the sun light.They just like to reply that your principles were fetched to you. Human rights are not like what they recite here and there and were not meant to defend the criminals' rights to justify their crimes.Those whom we watch every day on T.V sets are successors of Saddam because they are just like him in slaughtering and persecuting people in the dump black cells.

Information has functions of contacting between political elite and the whole people in democratic societies.Media as a mediator deliver information, decisions and images into people as they are the receiving side of information and the political elite should be the sender, while each side has proper conditions.Some times the image is put vise versa, albeit media keep the same post. Elite has to be transparent, open mind, readiness to unveil information and receive people's notes and criticisms. Thus ancient Muslim philosophers said patience and enduring others' views is a presidential technique.Charging with public terms and burdening rule need patience to listen to people's views.People need to develop means of delivering ideas in a free, understandable and sound way via civil society organizations that carries out the task by gathering views and polls for the aim of crystallizing them in one useful expression of potential sentence.Media has to hold banners of confidence, objectivity, neutrality, neat and generality in delivering views between the two sides.

Acquaint

By: Muhammed Bdul Jabbar

Transparency of political life in democratic regimes requires people acquaint with National Assembly’s discussions, since it is wrong to make such discussions behind closed doors. In Kuwait, press and whoever wants to attend parliament sessions are permitted to attend them, while there is a specialized stage for this purpose.In Britain, the sessions are released on air and millions observe the sessions and discussions.The purpose is to present the discussions basing on the people’s right t oknow wht is going on inside the parliament.Hence, it is meaningless to withhold sessions just in particular issues concerning national security and state’s higher properties that should be hidden from open air.Our parliament is not an ordinary one because it was based on drafting constitution.Yet, the bulk of the sessions were secret with exception of few leaks by several politicians whereby people are eager to know what is going on.So, there are some methods of making the sessions open; like admitting pressmen, some people attend the sessions, or releasing the sessions on air or publishing minutes of the session in daily newspapers as a way to reach transparency.

Legitimacy of achievement

By: Mohammed Abdul Jabbar al-Shabout

Governments in the democratic systems are ruling due to what has been called of “Legitimacy of representation”, this legitimacy has been derived on base that these governments have been come to the authority by free, just, general and periodical elections.We can’t imagine a government in democratic country could practice authority or rule without such representative legitimacy. The word “representative” indicates clearly that the government has the right of representing the people in the rule. The government is the representative on behalf of the people, who is the owner of the higher authority in practicing the rule. This applies also on democratic governments in the royal systems. Although that the throne is a hereditary in a democratic country like Britain, but the government which is an executive power for the society has reached to the authority via periodical elections.The representative legitimacy is not enough to maintain the remaining in the authority or in the power, because it needs to be enhanced by another kind of legitimacy which is the “Legitimacy of Achievement” which is derived from the capability of government to accomplish its political, economic and social program which it had been elected on it’s base, the government could offer further services for citizens in the frame work of this program. Among these services which have been expected by citizens in the democratic systems are: decreasing taxes, offering health and education services, decreasing inflation and unemployment and offering more work opportunities for citizens, as well as prevailing interior security and domestic peace. If the country had faced foreign danger, the defiance would be one of these services and achievements expected by citizens.Due to the “legitimacy of achievement”, the legitimacy of representation could be enhanced and the rally of people around the government could be increased, a matter that gives it another opportunity in staying in authority via next elections, so that government could stay in authority for long period relatively as it was the case in the government of the former British Prime Minister Margaret Tachar or like the current Prime Minister Tony Blair.The legitimacy of representation could be retreated if the legitimacy of accomplishment retreated too. The latter could eat from the cliff of the first one, as it uses to say, because the government couldn’t offer services or achievements expected by citizens, especially this which promised by during the electoral campaign or in the political program of the government.Corrosion the legitimacy of representation because the shortages in the achievement’s legitimacy could lead to the collapsed government in the next elections because the abstention of electors from voting, in this case they will give their voting for another side, whether competitors or resistant, in the political course.

New Iraq

By: Muhammed Abdul Jabbar

We are in need of crystallizing new views or theories for all aspects of life in new Iraq, following half a century of political disturbance and disorder of illicit governments and dictatorships.Term of New Iraq would be used along with success made by political and cultural elites so as to express new views by embodying them in powerful institutes.This could be applied in politics, economy, information and social relations in addition to many instances, like armed forces' position in political life which should be led by a civilian leadership, i.e. army and armed forces would be loyal to civilian political and leadership and we have a civilian defence minister and not the opposite when we were under military or semi military government as the army posses a state and having the last word.Even in under the Ba'th party rule, which was supposed to be a civilian one, the tyrant put on military uniform despite he was a civilian and granted himself the highest military rank.Media is another term in new Iraq, for it was a normal thing in old Iraq to depend on official or governmental media that was developed to be the dictator's media. In Saddam era, Iraqi media was an article of promoting figure's worship and apotheosizing the ruler and establishing the singular's rule.In new democratic and federal Iraq, we need media that can represent the fourth authority with power of other authorities, which means it should not be loyal to government.Thus, liberating media, market and civil society from government's authority and interference would meet democratic society.

You know, this is interesting.

The formation of our own country went through many years of similar squabbling, wrong turns, temper tantrums... people storming out and refusing to negotiate, people volunteering and resigning, negotiations hinging on as little as one word, sometimes.

A democracy in formation... and we get to watch it happening. Pretty amazing.

It is amazing to witness. I am optimistic Iraq will be the model for the region in a shorter period of time than we all may think. They know the consequences if they fail to come together on forming their country. None of them want that.

Measurement

By: Muhammed Abdul Jabbar

US thinker Samuel Huntington who wrote about cultures' clash said that a democratic country has to witness a couple of consequent handing over of authority peacefully through elections.Two and not only one, then we can call the country a democratic because the comfortable change in authority for one time might not turned to be democratic.Hitler had come to power through elections in a way of one man for one voice for one time. Yet he had changed the rules of the game by which he was able to maintain power that could not be turned over to opposition peacefully.Bernard Luis commented on Huntington with saying that democracy is changing powers via elections and not changing elections by powers.Elections could be democratic when they can change power and they would not be democratic when they are not transparent, indecent and not free in addition to independent commission being supervisor of the elections. Governments cannot change elections in democratic states; hence, they resort to extend their existence in power to achieve more aims and services that improve the social, political, and economic development so they can persuade people of their validity and people can vote for them. But they can not use tools of the power in electoral game for it is not the matter of elections and the political system can not be called democratic one.
