If you are a part of the tribe that is against war in Iraq, believe me you are not alone. More and more people world over and specially in America are getting more and more frustrated with the utility of war in Iraq and the violent quagmire it has left for the world.
The very premise on which the case against Iraq was built that Iraq as weapons of mass destruction (WMD) was found to be misplaced at best and grossly and falsely exaggerated at worst to justify the war. Again the claim that Saddam Hussein was a threat to Iraqi people and world at large and hence needed to be eliminated is also fraught with danger and wider ramifications for the international relations and polity.
Did USA or its allies really have a case in war against Iraq is a matter of debate and discussions. Is the world today any better and free from terrorist attacks than it was in the pre war era is also open to question. Have Iraqi people benefited out of war is definitely out of question seeing the present situation and fractional and violent clashes occurring on a daily basis. Thus what benefit has really accrued to anyone in the whole process? Well the answers are often painful and complex.
War against Iraq was perpetrated on the mass hysteria that Iraq has dangerous chemical and biological weapons which will be used against the mankind by the then brutal regime led by Saddam Hussein. That not a trace of it was found out later is now an open secret.
It is also an established fact that the UNO and other agencies were literally bulldozed by the USA at the time of giving it sanction to attack a sovereign nation. Was Iraq worse than other rogue nations that are still thriving amidst gross human rights violations against their own people? If international issues are sorted out in this manner, nobody will care a damn for justice and fair play. Another moot point worth consideration is the abject surrender of all nations of the world to the whims and fancies and personal vendetta against the head of a state. That Saddam Hussein was brutal and merciless is not disputed. However to have the right to attack him for being so is being too arrogant and reflects hegemony tendencies.
The increasing public opinion against war in Iraq reflects the anxiety of the world in the whole affair. It seems that the world was much better and safer to live in if one individual is not allowed to carry out his own personal agenda and the whole world has to suffer the consequences thereof. It is also important that the world bodies learn their lessons from war against war in Iraq and avoid one person to dictate his terms.
