The following is translated from an article in Arabic:

What do you know about the zero cost of war?

Says the intellectual Dr. Iqbal:

The generations of wars are four:

* The first generation *: Fighting with swords and spears this was called the wars of the knights ..

* Second generation *: Fighting with firearms. . Colt, the American designer of the Colt brand, said: “Now the brave and cowardly are equal.

* Third Generation *: Fighting and genocide with nuclear weapons, a war in which the most cowardly wins.

* Fourth generation *: To leave your enemy fighting themselves, using the mercenaries, is the war of traitors and spies, and invests intellectual and religious conflicts and tribal and countries.

* French thinker Roger Garaudy said about the fourth generation of wars *:
Now the West is fighting at zero cost. .
The enemy kill themselves. .
The enemy pays for the weapon. .
The enemy asks us to intervene, so we do not accept. .

Zero cost means that the West does not lose anything in the war. .
We need to face this by intellectual awareness, as the wars of the fourth generation depends on the creation of failed states .. This is done through the following points:

First: creating an ideological conflict such as sectarian, racial, sectarian or regional conflicts. .

Second: Isolation of an area in the country to be destroyed so that it is not under the control of that State.

Third: To establish an army of bad guys from the state to be a killing tool without any mercy or thinking, and this is the army that is a substitute for the armies of the occupying state.

Fourthly, illiterate children and youth should be used and educated in the fighting, so that a generation full of culture of murders and destruction, rather than the culture of construction, reconstruction and urbanization, is created. .

And finally the creation of a failed state that is easy to control and subject to any decision that the occupying state wants from that failed state.
