August 13 (EIRNS)-- In the first installment of three articles in Al-Watan, Dr. Kedidi, described in his usual poetical way, how he was recently "invited by Mr. LaRouche and his wife Helga, who is a candidate in the September Bundestag elections." Kedidi states that he had long discussion with LaRouche over two days, something which he "had missed in the past 18 years."

"I found my friend as I left him (in 1984), lively, enthusiastic and with the same alert looks, despite the 80 years of his age, which he will celebrate in September," says Kedidi. "I asked him about the drum beats that have been sounding from the U.S. to attack Iraq," writes Kedidi. He cites LaRouche's profound answers, from the collapse of the financial-economic system, the financial oligarchy controlling those beating the drums of war and their military-industrial interests, the plans for redrawing the whole map of the Middle East, McCain and Lieberman's role as mouthpieces for the oligarchy, and finally the intellectual ground for the "Clash of Civilizations" and war party as represented by Brzezinski, Kissinger and Huntington.

Kedidi then refers to LaRouche's view of the objective behind the September 11 operation as a way of pushing the U.S. into a war against Arabs and Muslims, and listing the targets of this perpetual war from Iraq to Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and so forth. "The result of these wars, according to the war party, would be the destruction of the new bridges being built among China, India, Russia, and Pakistan, and to isolate Central Asia and reshape the Middle East."

However, Kedidi cites LaRouche, "[T]he war lobby is nothing new. It emerged since the Vietnam War. The 1990s carried with it the collapse of the financial system. In that context Bush was chosen to be the spokesman for the declaration of the war of the injured empire against the ‘axis of evil', instead of giving the U.S. a leading position in a new historic movement towards worldwide development under the umbrella of peace and a universal moral revolution. The world today urgently needs an international development based on a community of principles, the which I have been fighting for for half a century. The world today is divided between developed and rich nations with a small population and populated poor nations ... this is a ‘molotov cocktail' ready to explode.... And, unfortunately, those hawks are trying to light the wick."

Kedidi concludes with a note saying: "We will continue the review of these conversations with LaRouche in the next two articles."
