The Green Zone Is "The Most Dangerous Place In Iraq" Claims Iraqi Foreign Minister
By Darryl Mason
In a revelation that will no doubt come as a surprise to millions of people living in the slums of Baghdad, the Iraqi Foreign Minister, Hoshyar Zebari, stated that the people most at risk of being killed in his country are living and working inside the Green Zone.
Zebari is in Australia at the moment, ramping up support for Australia's involvement in the Iraq War, thanking the military, and making a pre-emptive, pre-election pitch for why the likely new Australian government should not withdraw combat troops in 2008.
Zebari said in an interview with Lateline that he lived and worked in "the Red Zone" and thought his Baghdad neighbourhood was much safer than the massive walled enclave where thousands of American and coalition forces and diplomats are based.
"In fact the Green Zone is the most dangerous place in Iraq these days," Zebari said. "So outside the Green Zone is much safer."
The Green Zone has been attacked on a near daily basis in recent weeks, with mortars, rockets and RPGs raining down so regularly that those inside the Zone have allegedly been told to wear helmets and flak jackets at all times.
After the United States and the UK, the current Australian government has become the highest profile supporter and member of the Coalition of the Willing, mostly due to the troop pullouts and scaledowns by countries like Spain, Italy and Japan, and Prime Minister John Howard's infamous comments, earlier in the year, when he attacked American presidential hopeful Barak Obama for saying that American troops should withdraw by March next year.
Opposition leader Kevin Rudd, now far ahead of John Howard in the polls, and widely tipped to win the federal elections in November, has pledged to withdraw Australia's combat troops if he becomes prime minister.
