Abdul-Karim Qasim

Afghanistan, fine.

Iraq? Abd al-Karim Qasim was taking his orders because of the Baghdad alliance.

He was taking his orders directly from...

It's true.

All right, Ali, the last item on our list is land allocation.

Now, Iraqis always talk about the time of General Abdul Karim Kasim in the late fifties, early sixties, when he had a successful coup and got rid of the monarchy.

That's when Iraq became a republic.

And one of the first things that he did, being a populist leader, was hand out land to the people.

Yeah.

He specifically pointed to Ngo Dinh Diem of Vietnam, Abdul Karim Qasim of Iraq and American President John F. Kennedy.

And when all three of those men were subsequently assassinated, the macrobiotic movement didn't claim Osawa was a psychic.

No, not at all.

The term revolution has gained a certain popularity, and many coups are graced with it because of the implication that it was the people rather than a few plotters who did the whole thing.

Thus, the obscure aims Abd al-Karim Qasim had in mind when he overthrew the Iraqi regime of King Faisal II and Prime Minister Nuri al-Assaid are locally known as the sacred principles of the July 14th revolution.

Next one is civil war.

Civil war is outright warfare between elements of the armed forces and or the population at large.

However, the ideological outlook of the potential recruit will also be important.

As far as we are concerned, combining all ranges of the political spectrum against a right or left extreme will give the most suitable political cover to our coup.

The regime of Abd al-Karim Qasim in Iraq, which lasted for five years as a pure balancing act, was finally brought down in 1963 when the moderate nationalist Abd- Abdel Salam Aref persuaded all political factions from left-wing Ba'ath to right-wing conservatives to combine against the supposed communist penetration in the government.

If there is no extreme faction available...
