Hassan Al-Rubaie

Dr. Salim Mohammed Aboud expert on the affairs of the market price policy in the Iraqi market depends on a variety of factors linked to the standard of living for individuals and the state's ability to produce and the protection of national production and regulate the relationship between the consumer and producer.

He said in an interview with the (Economic morning) that the price consists of production facilities and banking institutions and financial aspects in the implementation of functions including pricing policy in the market.

Therefore Valtozan between economic organizations and pricing policy between development programs and ways to achieve prosperity for the individual and society and between Touzan psychological situation for consumers and achieve degrees of stability is needed.

There is a direct relationship between pricing policy and the desire of consumers to buy goods and needs, taking into account the relationship between price and volume entry.

For all that the responsibility of the price list and moving to achieve production targets or even exceed the resources in the distribution of the total output as well as adapt and modify the economic system and handle any change in the request goods or services because of the evolution and change in tastes.

Despite previous attempts in the fixed fee pricing policy and control relative price levels but they failed, because of the absence of parameters fixed in supply and demand and the level of incomes that have not stabilized over the past decades and the absence of strong economic system and the people there in the economic arena does not exceed distorted structures and institutions scattered The processes and procedures regarding spending priorities unbalanced and did not arrange programs according sound development in the absence of a real evolution of production and qualitative and quantitative decline in services and the emergence of sterile techniques in the mass production of the most competitive capabilities of the country. .In general. Thus did not show the identity of the market did not establish sound economic system unable to perform his functions within the development plan and the activation of the roles economic institutions.

Dr. Abboud goes in his response to treatments, and the steps required to control the pricing policy, saying : The weakened state capacity and production factors and resources lost most important and therefore could identify any pricing policy of a system of prices at the current stage at least we As I lost Infrastructure and revealed efforts and weakened the qualifications and capabilities available with what is looming on the horizon of quick calls invitations to move to a market economy privatization, without careful calculation or studies of the importance of a favorable climate and conditions and awareness of the potential changes.

It could not achieve stability and situations fee pricing policy to protect consumers and regulate the relationship continues to ABC at the State and society unachieved.

But this does not close the door completely under enjoyment Iraq has great economic potential and the qualifications and resources that allow them to pursue steadily towards the changes that serve society and social balance and prosperity.

The Washington Post

Written by : David Ignatius :

News occupies diplomatic tasks, which normally involve the American Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice in the Middle East issued the first pages in newspapers and magazines, but if you want to get an idea about what is happening lightning underground game of politics and power, then you follow the trip by Vice-President Dick Cheney American Saudi Arabia this week.

In the past nine months, King Abdullah has emerged as one of the more allies President Bush and most powerful Arab importance of the resolve and we all remember how the last autumn bold vigorous campaign to contain Iranian influence in the Arab world and how those efforts served laterally American interests in the region in spite of the setbacks in Iraq.
It seems that Cheney's visit aimed partly to reassure the two countries, both sides want to confirm their alliance, despite the differences between them on the American policy in Iraq and the Palestinian issue.

The Saudis also want to set up an additional channel of communication with the American side, making it possible to avoid a misunderstanding of the kind that was sometimes arise when the main mediator is Prince Bandar bin Sultan, Saudi ambassador in Washington, the former who was working freely, and is now the National Security Adviser.



It is noted that King Abdullah tried to distance itself from Washington on some of the comments made in the recent period, in February last opposed American efforts were designed to isolate the Palestinian radical group Hamas to his sponsorship agreement Mecca, which led to Palestinian unity government through the integration of Hamas with Fatah more moderate.



In March last »surprised« King American officials as the military occupation of Iraq Balamshroo during his speech at the Arab League summit held in Riyadh, but did not respond to the plans were required to attend a dinner at the White House in April.



The truth is that King Abdullah criticism of the American presence »illegal« in Iraq reflects the deep suspicion of American strategy successfully There Saudi sources as saying that King is no longer on the ability of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in the Shiite ending sectarian divisions and unify the country, also said that the Saudi leadership does not believe in the usefulness of an increase in the number American soldiers in Iraq, since it can increase the risk of all-out civil war there.



It seems that the Saudis prefer to replace the government-controlled Al-Maliki Shiite religious parties supported by Iran, in their view, and they are working quietly to support the interim Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, the former a secular Shiite and former Baathist who enjoys the Iraqis.



In this context, the advisers Allawi that his strategy relies on exploiting the prevailing tensions in the Shiite religious alliance and the formation consisted new Governor combines year Kurds and the Shiites secularists.

The supporters of Allawi expressed the belief that he was close to obtain enough votes to achieve this thanks to the support of Saudi political and material.

But it seems that the Bush administration was not keen to give the idea Allawi power despite the frustration of Maliki as American officials feared that the change of government in Baghdad to deepen the political chaos and encourage more calls for the withdrawal of American troops.

It is clear in any case, that concern tense in the region partly resurrected from the perception that the American troops will withdraw from Iraq regardless of what the Bush administration says.

Therefore To alleviate this feeling said that the Bush administration informed the Saudis that it will never withdraw from Iraq during the presidency of Bush, ie after 18 months from now, which would provide time to address things better, according to a Saudi source says.



However, the essence of the Saudi-American alliance is to make a new effort to counter Iran and its proxies in the Arab world, and this trend had begun last summer after the war in Lebanon between Israel and Hizbollah militia backed by Iran.



Collaboration is working closely with the United States, the Saudis began providing support for a year in Lebanon and a political Druze and Christian, which opposes the influence of Hezbollah in Lebanon, as the Saudis and the Americans cooperate in assisting the Lebanese Internal Security Forces answerable to the Prime Minister Fouad Siniora.



It seems that the Saudi-American cooperation in the face of Iran extends to Yemen, where cooperate jointly to assist the Yemeni government to take tough action against a group funded by Iran and linked its Shiite religious man named Hussein Huthi had been killed in 2004.

It is expected that Syria is the final topic on the agenda of Cheney in Saudi Arabia.

Vasaudion had given the efforts undertaken by Condoleeza Rice recently, and sought the assistance of Syria in stabilizing Iraq.

However, the Saudis had in fact started to move towards easing tension with Syria during the Arab League summit last March to apologize after Syrian President Bashar Assad was personally by King Abdullah of describing some Arab leaders semi men because they did not help Hezbollah during the war in Lebanon, but officials Americans believe that Saudi Arabia is continuing its contacts with the Syrian opposition groups.

Finally, if we remember that Saudi Arabia has always exercised its foreign policy quietly and calmly in order to resolve outstanding problems peacefully to show us that the worst fault of the President of Iran is disrupted Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was push the Saudis to abandon traditional reservations, but even with the cooperation rigid man named Cheney.
