We here at Muslims For America believe that Iraq and Afghanistan’s futures can be won. Iraq, for example, has seen their GNP almost double within one year as literacy rates continually rise, indicating a strong business environment and a growing education community. With that said, ultimate economic and educational development will not be realized until we can fully stabilize Iraq and Afghanistan.

In turn, Muslims For America officially proposes that in order to establish long term stability in the Middle East, the United States should encourage the governments of Afghanistan and Iraq to request fellow nations of the Muslim World to send their armies into their respective nations for the purpose of peace-keeping and maintaining stability.

Coalition forces led by American soldiers will continue to provide infrastructure repair, with the United States relying upon Muslim countries to stabilize Iraq and Afghanistan under the direction of the United States.

We call upon our Muslim World allies such as Pakistan, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Egypt, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, and others, to invest their country’s resources and troops into building the future of Afghanistan and Iraq. The aforementioned countries have all received aide and/or support from the United States, giving us the ability to work easily with all of them.

Countries of the Muslim World should begin by sending peacekeeping troops into Iraq where they will first be expected to stabilize major areas like Baghdad and Fallujah. Such a move will diffuse Shiite and Sunni discourse and help to strengthen the Muslim coalition. The United States and coalition forces should continue to aid the Iraqi government with reconstruction and relations with the Muslim coalition, allowing American troops to comfortably exit as Muslim coalition soldiers arrive.

We are strongly encouraging the adoption of the following policy for all of our American politicians. This policy will demonstrate to the world that the United States, leader of the free world, continues to provide a vision and viable long-term solution for the ongoing Global War on Terror.

How to Win the War in Iraq, Part II

by Akir Khan

If the war in Iraq will be won, American and Collation forces must outsource security contacts to other Muslim nations. Involving Muslim nations will provide America the time needed to train and equip the Iraqi forces. Military contracts will be given to those nations willingly to serve as peacekeepers between the Sunni and Shiite regions.

An increase of American troops is not necessary unless those troops are given the sole responsibility to help facilitate in training and not engage in any outside conflict, unless to protect their unit or themselves to hostile file. All military contracts will be open to the final approval of the Iraqi government. America will continue to facilitate the reconstruction process but will continue with the goal of passing off full responsibility to the Iraqis. The worst-case scenarios of Iraq will be something like Germany after WWII or the Baltics after the break up of the Soviet Union. Three regions, each separated by culture factions could be controlled by Baghdad, what Berlin was to Germany after the East and West division.

America looks forward in helping the Middle East help rebuild Iraq after the removal of Dictator Saddam Hussein.
