Bush and war
All of us well remember President Bush's anguish over Iraq's possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), which resulted in an attack maneuvered by the United States of America in Iraq in 2003. Since that launch of 'charitable effort' to rid Iraq of WMD, interestingly enough, no report of any such discovery of weapons has been achieved; the fact which clearly proves that Mr. Bush was wrong in his speculations. Later, instead of saying 'sorry' to Iraq and to the civilised world, he justified America's attack on Iraq by proposing another hypothesis that of Iraq's association with al-Qaeda and comes up with a solution that Iraq's autocracy has to be done away with and democracy established in order to rid the country of Islamic militancy (as if democratic Islamic states don't have religious militancy!) So, the attack continues and Iraq burns in a deadly conflagration that spreads to almost every part of the country. Human rights are horribly violated every minute and people are dying regularly in large numbers. Clearly, America played Iraq at will, caring not a fig for international community. And this has been nothing but a display of evil power. Therefore, whoever stands to it without a protest, is responsible for the mass-murder in Iraq in some way or other.
So, it is high time the US and its accomplices are tried in the International Court of Justice for crimes committed against humanity in Iraq.
