This house believes that Iraq's neighbours have no wish to see a democratic Iraq ( Visual )
1 edition published in 2005 in English and held by 8 libraries worldwide
Sponsored by the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF), the Doha Debates are a monthly series of dialogues intended to explore critical issues facing the Arab and Islamic world. Former host of the BBC's HARDtalk, Tim Sebastian, chairs the debates. The debate, which is being televised, took place on January 17 and focused on Iraq's upcoming elections. The motion before the house was 'This House believes that Iraq's neighbors have no wish to see a democratic Iraq.' It's a proposition that takes us right into the heart of the deep divisions, the hatreds and conflicts being played out in the region and, of course, it is in advance of Iraq's scheduled elections on January the 30th. Now there have been plenty of fine statements about non-interference in Iraq's internal affairs, and plenty of accusations about some pretty nasty and direct interference. So what is the truth and what is at stake? The speakers for the motion were Dr Mohamed Aldoury, former Iraqi ambassador to the UN under Saddam Hussain, and Patrick Theros, former US ambassador to Qatar and president of the US Qatar Business Council. Speaking against the motion were MP Clare Short, who resigned her Cabinet post to protest the Blair administration's support for the invasion of Iraq, and Abdel Bari Atwan, editor of the influential London-based newspaper Al-Quds Al-Araby.
