Shiite leader vocal adversary of Hussein = -- and U.S.=20
Key member of Iraqi opposition feels burned by = both=20

Borzou = Daragahi,=20 Chronicle Foreign Service 		Friday,=20 October 4, 2002
3D"Click=20

Tehran -- U.S. forces will have to = overthrow Saddam Hussein without the help of Ayatollah = Sayed=20 Mohammad Baqir Al-Hakim, an Iraqi Shiite leader whose = 8,000=20 armed fighters and experience at battling the dictator = would=20 surely come in handy.=20

Hakim has plenty of reasons to join any new war = against=20 Hussein.=20

The spiritual and political leader of the Supreme = Council=20 for the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (SCIRI), based in = Iran, has=20 been battling the Baghdad regime since at least 1972, = when it=20 imprisoned and tortured him. Hussein rejailed Hakim = five years=20 later, and over the years his government has killed = five of=20 Hakim's brothers, seven of his nephews and almost 35 = other=20 relatives.=20

Hussein also has drained the southern marshes of = Iraq,=20 turning the ancient home of Hakim's Shiite followers = into an=20 uninhabitable desert.=20

But Hakim, a key member of the Iraqi opposition = whose=20 fighters operate in both northern and southern Iraq, = has only=20 contempt for the United States.=20

"We get no support from America. Neither in the = past nor=20 nowadays," the 63- year-old cleric said in an = interview at his=20 downtown Tehran compound. "If the U.S. offered help, = we'd=20 refuse it.=20

"We're working against Saddam now," he said. "We've = always=20 been fighting against the Iraqi regime. We were doing = it=20 before America. America's just arriving."=20

Hakim said the United States had stood by and done = nothing=20 while Hussein's forces crushed a Shiite uprising in = southern=20 Iraq after the 1991 war to reverse Iraq's annexation = of=20 Kuwait. "The Americans have only worked against us in = the=20 past," he said. "In the Gulf War, they teamed up with = Iraq=20 against us."=20

In 1998, then-President Bill Clinton, recognizing = the=20 potential of the Iraqi opposition, offered to support = SCIRI,=20 which has been financed, armed and supported by Tehran = since=20 its founding. Hakim turned Clinton down.=20

The failure to recruit Hakim this time shows how = poor=20 relations between the United States and Iran have = complicated=20 the drive to replace the Iraqi government.=20

"Hakim is a very serious and influential actor in = Iraqi=20 politics," said Nader Hashemi, a Mideast specialist at = the=20 University of Toronto. "If the Bush administration = chooses to=20 ignore him in their deliberations on a post-Saddam = Iraq=20 because of his ties to Iran, they will do so at their = own=20 peril."=20

U.S.-Iran relations plummeted this year after = President=20 Bush placed Iran on his list of "axis of evil" nations = supporting terrorism. But the bad blood goes back to = the=20 seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran after the 1979=20 revolution and resentment among Iranians for U.S. = support for=20 former Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi.=20

Iran also accuses the United States of aiding Iraq = during=20 the bloody and costly eight-year Iran-Iraq war. Sunni=20 Muslim-dominated Iraq feared that its 60 percent = Shiite=20 population would take up the Islamic revolution of = Iranians,=20 who are 90 percent Shiite. Throughout the war, Hakim's = organization acted as an Iranian fifth column inside = Iraq.=20

Analysts say Hakim would be a valuable asset in any = push to=20 remove the Iraqi strongman. "SCIRI taps into Iraq's = majority=20 Shiite population in a way that other Iraqi opposition = groups=20 do not," said Colin Rowat, a lecturer in Middle = Eastern=20 affairs at the University of Birmingham.=20

In addition to his forces in southern Iraq, Hakim = says he=20 has had an undisclosed number of operatives working = with Kurds=20 in northern Iraq since the end of the 1991 war. Half a = million=20 Iraqi refugees reside just this side of the Iranian = border,=20 where Hakim's group operates schools and clinics.=20

"We have military, logistical, social and press = cooperation=20 with the other groups of the Iraqi opposition," he = said. "We=20 have military operations inside Iraq. From time to = time, we=20 attack important institutions of the regime."=20

Iraqi opposition groups have been getting their = houses in=20 order in anticipation of a regime change. In the = north, the=20 two main Kurdish opposition groups and ethnic Turkoman = forces=20 have stopped squabbling. Hakim's brother attended a = recent=20 forum for opposition groups in Washington.=20

Hakim himself met with Iraqi Kurdish opposition = leaders in=20 Tehran in late September, said Bahram Veletbegi, a = Kurdish=20 journalist who heads the Kurdish Institute in Tehran. = "The=20 Shiite groups have had tight relations with the Kurds = for 30=20 to 40 years."=20

But Hakim also remains a guest of Iran as well as a = top-ranking figure in the Shiite clerical hierarchy = that rules=20 the country. A portrait of him with Iranian = revolutionary=20 leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and current ruler = Ayatollah=20 Ali Khamenei hangs in the waiting room of his group's=20 headquarters. Hakim has called himself a follower of = Khomeini.=20

But in contrast to Iran's clerical rulers, who have = fought=20 efforts to reform Iran's theocratic government, Hakim = espouses=20 democracy and secular government. He says he advocates = a=20 nonsectarian democratic Iraq that gives voice to the = nation's=20 disparate religious and ethnic groups.=20

"We want a democratic republic that takes all the = people=20 into account," he said. "The rule of law should be = obeyed. It=20 should be an independent country. And the Iraqi people = must be=20 given a real role in running the government."=20

Under the rule of Hakim's clerical hosts in Iran, = women=20 must abide by Islamic dress codes, alcohol is = forbidden, and=20 non-Muslims are unable to rise to top positions. But = Hakim=20 says he opposes any type of Shariah -- or Islamic law = -- that=20 accords secondary status to religious minorities or = women.=20

"We believe that women are part of the Iraqi people = and=20 must take part in the future of Iraq," he said. "As = far as=20 rights are concerned, women are equal to men."=20

Hakim says he has no political ambitions. Once his = struggle=20 to free his Shiite compatriots is complete, he pledges = he'll=20 return to his real passion: love of God.=20

"I do not hope to get any kind of role in Iraq," he = said.=20 "I want to pursue knowledge. I do not live for this = world. I=20 live for the next world."
