Author: Akbar Valadbigia , Shahab Ghobadib

March 16, 1988 is supposed to be a human catastrophe for all the times, when the tragedy of Halabja, the genocide of a nation, evident grimace at human and civil rights and the most detestable form of military operation against undefended Kurd civilians in the closing years of 20th century took
place ◌ٍ Extensive military operations called” Anfal” were undertaken in three phases by means of mass destruction weapons against Kurd residents of North Iraq in the mid 1987 April. Due to lack of meeting their rights within Iraq, the Kurds will have this right to demand their human and ethnical rights and international society will be expected to defend this right. Perspectives of this article include: anatomy of power and its structural deviations in the world and the Middle East, protocols regarding prohibiting construction and application of mass destruction weapons in relation with public opinions, power deviations and their relevance with the structures of  undemocratic governments of the Middle East, world  capitalism and regional catastrophes, reactionary ideology of ”Fascism” and its Eastern illegitimate child-Arabic Ba’athism*- , and finally fear and hope and disappointing perspective of ” civil society” in the Middle East.
