Why Iraq Should be Attacked?
Even I had noticed a major issues in today's newspaper about US-Iraq conflict, I haven't decided to take a chance reading a piece of that, i was bored at that time. Today, after have been knocked by a paper, I got that interest, I then jump to Guardian and found complete section that not only tell us on Iraq-US movements, but also a complete guide to understanding every pros-cons whether both countries still needs a war to exhibits their ego. I was also found a good website by veteran Guardian's journalist Brian Whitaker that creates a website titled as "AN OPEN DOOR TO THE ARAB WORLD" (Al Bab means door in Arabic). Wow, it's such geourgeous works he did.Referred to Whitaker, "More widely, there is the perception of double standards. The US claims that the quarrel with Iraq involves certain unwavering principles, though as far as much of the world is concerned they are principles that the US only invokes when it wants to. In the eyes of the Arab and Muslim world particularly, Iraq's offences - military occupation, flouting UN resolutions and developing weapons of mass destruction - are similar in nature, if not necessarily degree, to those of Israel. Yet one offender gets embargoed; the other is supported with money and weaponry."
I had been so awful if remembering a fact that Saddam in past is one of US' doll in the Arab world, US creates Saddam as same as US creates Osama bin Laden. If so, is this a truly "conflict" or just conflict that naturally created?
