Indonesia proposes Muslim-led intervention force for chaotic Iraq

Bandung, NU OnlineIndonesia says a military force from predominantly Muslim countries should be deployed in Iraq before the United States withdraws. The recommendation is part of a larger proposal to resolve the conflict in the war-torn country. Foreign Minister Hassan Wirayuda said like-minded moderate Islamic countries acceptable to the Iraqis should contribute to the "intervening force", whose deployment should not be seen as an extension of the U.S.-led coalition troops or Iraqi security forces.

News Analysis

An anarchic world order

At present, many have questioned negative impacts as a result of the "Smack Down" show aired by a privately-run television station following a number of injuries and possibly a death among children. We question how the wrestling program that is still fresh introduced have been spreading on such a scale throughout the country from Sabang to Merauke influencing a very deep awareness of Indonesia’s people. In fact, only children that have been so far influenced, the raising question is that how about our teenagers and young people. The impact of the program showing violence is not a simple thing and automatically responded by people with little fuss. It should be such a task for economic researchers to eagerly scrutinize business strategies of the “smack down” and unveil whether its motives related to economy alone or not. This in turn needs political studies to know those being powers behind the violence business. In this case, intelligent agencies have to trace how the violence distribution networks are now made public within a very short period of time and have degraded the nation’s mental.
