复兴党执政时期的伊美关系

Iraq-U.S. Relationship at Ruling Period of Baath Party

伊拉克自1968年复兴党上台后的35年中,伊美关系经历了从复兴党执政前期的"政冷经热",到两伊战争爆发后的全面缓和,再到海湾危机后激烈对抗的重大变化。缺乏稳固而长久的共同利益是伊美关系的致命弱点,它决定了两国关系的基本走向。美国对伊政策在海湾危机前后的巨大反差,充分暴露了它以推行民主为由发动伊拉克战争的极大虚伪性。

After the Baath Party was in power in 1968, the 35 years witnessed the great changes on the (Iraq-U.S.) relationship: the political depression and the economic development in the early stage; the overall relaxation after the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War; the furious confrontation after the Gulf Crisis. The fatal weakness of the Iraq-U.S. relationship is that they have no long-term mutual interest, which decides the basic trend of their relations.The U.S. hypocrisy in launching the war in Iraq on the grounds of practicing democracy was fully exposed by their obvious contrast policies round about the Gulf Crisis .
