Pretext of the false war

~



(Click on picture to enlarge)

On 20 March 2003, the US invaded Iraq with a false pretext that the latter was a threat to the world because it possessed weapon of mass destruction (WMD).

There was another weak excuse that the President George W Bush spoke about in every speech in those days was that the US military invasion of Iraq was absolutely necessary to secure it from the brutal dictatorship of Saddam Hussein, to set people free from the yoke of one-man show and bring back democratic governance.

None of it accomplished except death penalty to Saddam in a mysterious way, which, now seemed to the world that it was nothing more than a personal ego war due to which President Bush took revenge on Iraqi dictator.

Today, Iraq is a complete mess.

So is Afghanistan becoming, and so will Pakistan become in near future.

In fact, wherever, the US has made military intervention, the attacked country turned into horrible ghost town.

Remember Vietnam, where more than 2.5 million people were butchered during 16 years (1959-1975) of US military operation.

After the fall of Saddam, the world could know the pretext of the war was patently false that the US had vehemently campaigned and the Iraq war was bound to be a big failure. Defying all international conventions and pleas, President Bush attacked Iraq and turned it into the Dark Age and the entire world into an unprecedented economic doom.
