IRAQ – A WAR FOR INJUSTICE?

‘I cry everyday when I see innocent people die for nothing , we have made the situation worse than what it would have been if our troops wouldn’t have gone there’ A statement by an old English man who lost his son in the war(Panorama BBC).

In the same documentry it was told that about 50 families have not even been told what happened to their children, ‘He was a soldier for 3 years , a son for 21. He was fighting for his country , where is the support?’ and when a BBC reporter asked this to Adam Ingrim he said it is not the army’s job but the governments, starting a blame game with no one ready to take accountability for a decision which I believe ruined a few thousand lives. ‘IRAQ WAR’ an issue very close to my heart and which has made me cry a few times though I have no one fighting in the war, no friends in there and have never visited the country(though would love to) .

It was shouted out as a war against injustice by the great president of America, who believed In killing a few millions and completely destroying terrorism from its roots . Can’t believe countries like Britain bought that idea. It makes me laugh at how gullible these people( And so many more) are who were once known as the most powerful people of the world, a nation which ruled half the world and who have an amazing quality known as 'leadership'.

Actually thinking about it what did we Indian’s do? Nothing. We as a government did not even have a global say to do anything but the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee did not even publicly criticize the war. As long as it doesn’t effect us don’t speak is what we thought, where did that value system go, those teachings of fighting for your right dissapeared which the BJP government always chanted about? I always used to think Mr Vajpayee was a great articulator , a great leader and one of our best prime minister till then, it made me show how even a man like him is first a politician then a protester/campaigner against injustice . No one wanted to say anything to the most powerful country openly ,after all that’s where the money comes from they thought . Who cares if a few of them die, we will send the toothless bulldogs (United nations) by the end of it.

Talking to an American friend (actually a few) I realised how even they were against the war , it made me get into deep thoughts of why did Iraq happen then? Why could no one of us say/do anything to stop it? Why did the UN not say anything (Kofi Annan I had expected would)? Who benefited from it? If it is about world terrorism then Bush why just Iraq and afganistan ? why not Kashmir, Ireland , Pakistan, Srilanka(LTTE) , Palestine , lebenon etc etc……….. So many questions, searching for an answer . Do you have any ?????????????????????

.*Sorry people just saw panorama on BBC so got in that zone again, Btw Huma you made it worst love…………..lol
