THE WAR THAT WAS UNNECESSARY
We all have been witness to a bloody war which has killed over a million Iraqi’s and has no end in the near future. The country which was already in ruins due to their prolonged war with Iran could not actually get over the shock of one war before the second was thrust upon them. Their economy was already in shambles due to the sanctions over the presumed existence of Weapons of Mass Destruction and the reluctance of their Military dictator Gen.Saddam Hussain, to give up power. He too is no angel as was visible by actions throughout his rein which lasted decades, when he killed thousands of Kurdish rebels presumably with Chemical weapons, more than the Iran’s soldiers who lost their lives during their war with Iraq. He could have at least given up after his Kuwait invasion back fired and gave American soldiers permanent stay in the Middle East. All his actions resulted in death of innocent Iraqi soldiers who had to obey orders.
All said and done the question remains whether was it absolutely necessary to invade Iraq. The UN sponsored inspection was being complied with and they had no clue what so ever to prove Iraq had WMDs in their arsenals. The subsequent sequence which unfolded in UK also did prove that the war mongers had ‘sexed up’ the documents to press hard for an all out war along with the Americans. The US and UK always did maintain that they stood for right against wrong. What right do they have to show for all the innocent lives lost and Iraq still is in deep turmoil killing Hundreds every week at least.
The ever increasing oil price is a direct result of the war in Iraq. There are hundreds of countries who just can’t afford to pay such huge resources on oil alone when their people are on the verge of starvation. Now the situation has reached a point of no return and the war has to go on and on till either all Iraqi’s are dead or all American soldiers involved are dead. Both possibilities are not in near sight. Americans are now like a person who caught a tiger’s tail he just can’t let go for the tiger will eat him nor can he keep on holding forever, he has to run along but for how long?
If they are after the oil reserves, which is obvious, then it is not worth all the lives lost and the end in no sight all the money made by those few Companies as a direct result of the war will find the price they have to pay will be much more and for generations the after effects won’t let them live in peace. Just take the example of Jews who crucified Jesus Christ, they still could not live peacefully even after 30 to 40 generations. The sin was so huge that one just could not rid oneself from the curse of the almighty. Like wise, no one can justify a war spending almost 700 billions a year when there are thousands starving without even one square meal a day.
The only hope for the world is that Mr.Bush has now almost become a lame duck president hence, the most urgent change in views and actions are nearing with a new leader at the helm, the approach also may change but not much, because those who are financing the election campaigns are the same ones who are making a huge profit out of the war and killings and the reality is that no American president ever can become a president without obligations of those very scruples people who finances the campaign with an eye on the future profits. The maximum one can expect from a president is the possibility of a double crossing game after winning the elections which is very unlikely to happen.
