Columnist Khalid Ali Tuaiman says in an article that the American insistence on war against Iraq springs from an Anglo-Saxon strategy taking from the Arab region as a pivot and beginning for a feverish scheming by the cowboys for controlling the world and acting singly in the world arena in realization of their impossible dream for establishment of an American empire. The new American ''empire'' aims at instituting for a state of affairs where political and moral values retreat before it and all foundations and principles of the international law fall on its threshold. It pushes the world towards the return to the colonialist periods and ages that humanity had surmounted a long time ago and folded their chapters that were full of disasters and catastrophes.
