Your Views:What is U.N doing? This is becoming something of a Joke, A Body formed to protect the people of the world is unmoved by America's Agreession. What I fail to understand is that America can develop Chemical & Biological Weapons and so are Long Range Missiles but Iraq or any other Country cannot develop anything beyond 300 Kms, Let the Security Council first Check U.S & U.k's Arsenal of weapons of Mass Destruction and then proceed further. It is surprising and very very sad to know that no country is able to lend Military Support to Irag during this time of Crisis. If France, Russia, China, India & Germany only Threaten U.S with a Support for Iraq Militarily, U.S will fall on it;s feet. Imagine so many Innocent lives are going to be destroyed and this will only create More Osamas leading many many more sept 11 for America & It's Allies. Time for People of this world to Awake & Arise elsewise History will never forgive us all. With Deepest Sympaties & Prayers to the Iraqi People.

Your Views:In fact both the parties need to be harnessed by the world community especially by the so called global custodian the United Nations. Saddam for its undemocratic and hegmonoius control on the people of Iraq and US for being self proclaimed global police, an hypocrite of the top level. both the coutries should be banned from global society but who would challenge Mighty US

Your Views:Whether Saddam should go or not has to be decided by Iraqis and not yankees. they have no business to interfere in Iraqi affairs. Afterall UN was doing a good job with their inspectors trying to unearth the truth. Is US afraid of facing the truth that there are no WMD in Iraq. To save their faces is Bush and his partner in crime Blair resoting to bombing of Iraq. No doubt saddam should be tried for waht he has done all these years to Kurds, Kuwait and internally to his detractors. But there is a method in dealing with him. If Balir can protect a criminal like Pinochet of Chile why not give time to Un to sort out Iraq. It is doublespeak and unilateralism of the highest order. We should support farnce and germany and rest of the europe in charting out the new world order and not to bow to the dictates of Us and its clones.

Your Views:Apparently the msot powerful nation has made the UN redundant. Simply speaking it means I have the power I will dictate terms. This is dictatorship under the guise of democracy. If President Bush had respected the views of UN he would risen in the eyes of others in the world . By offering aid to those who support him it simply amounts to buying the poor nations in supporting them. Where are the values and ethics and morals of leaders? I am afraid this is not good for the world community especially the disrespect shown by US towards UN.

Your Views:No. Niether the Yanks nor George Bushes are the arbiters of Iraqi future. That is the exclusive prerogative of the iraqi masses. Ofcourse what Bush and Blair have done is that they have made assasinations a state policy. If all countries adopt a similar stand, then the fate of both Blair and Bush is not likely to be very different. God have mercy on this planet.

Your Views:Really saddam is a true warrior.It is because he is the only man to reciprocate against the dictatorship of americans who have british slaves with them.What has america to do with iraq's social cause.America has proved that UN laws are only for countries which need US help in rebuilding themselves.This agitation against iraq will cost the US dearly as it happened with the twin towers.I think US are terrorist who preaches anti terrorism in open and ridicules other countries.Americans should think that having sophisticated missiles alone will not make them win the war,the real thing they will be missing is a birbal like saddam.By attacking iraq ,america wants to make iraq a colony for them so that they can control other rebel countries as well as swim inthe oilpool of iraq. I think the Mr.Koffi annan should sit with its partners and declare US and UK as temporary members of UN security council,because they ignores the norms of UN frequently. I suggest that saddam should be there till his death in iraq because he is the only person to take on US aand its slaves.US-pakistan with britain has slaves will make a interesting combination of world reckon terrorists.

Your Views:May be the day has come when the United States has become too powerful to contain. Even the normal American reaction is apathy. How does one justify a war that clearly has no just cause? I dont think the Americans are going to stop with just Iraq. If the States wants to run the nations by men of its own choice - mark my words - its really mistaken. History is witness to the fact that all the superpowers have fallen when they thought they were invincible. Democracy in the international order is something the "Land of the Free"" got to respect more.

Your Views:Personal Interest. It's not a war for global welfare.It's 100% personal interest.Well, US,UK & AU will share their piece of oil cake once they demolish Saddam rule.The whole world knows about this.More than oil its Mr.Bush's personal interest to revenge Sadham as his father could'nt do it.It is not a war for people, it's absolutely personal ineterest.But the pity is, UK and AU join US as allies. But they do want their piece of oil cake. Just for oil and personal revenge, Bush is killing thousands/millions of innocent people. It's not only Iraq people, its also US and its allies war soldiers and people residing in neighouring countries. This proves that any kind of growing Super power should be killed in the initial stage, now US has grown too much. It's so funny about US. It's not just Mr.Bush, it's also few more nuts in US, if they have nothing to do, they would probably would take a good gun, enter school campus and kill innocent students.There is no justification and i really wonder why countries around the world maintain silence.Let's hope US does'nt attack China or India saying it attacked these countries out of global interest just bcos to reduce their growing population.

Your Views:bush and saddam, calling each other madman, fighting the war for justice and seeing the other as the greatest threat to humanity! while one appears as enfant terrible the other is a trumped up ageing general, smarter and less stupid. i do not believe that saddam hussein should be removed as iraqi president anymore than pervez musharraf or the despotic heads of various arab countries. prez bush is not trying to remove saddam from the top of iraqi govt but from the top of billions of gallons of oil. the war would not only destabilize the middle east but put into quandry the many manhy arabs who actually believe in democracy across teh region and elsewhere. bush's action would label the liberals as anti-islamic and american stooges. sad indeed. but worse is that dubya again proves to you that we havent really come out of the ancient and medival times when might was right and nothing like sanctity for national sovereignty or even will of the people existed. as far as i can make out, iraqi pepole were living happily with little comaplaints against their president until he made the kuwaitit blunder.even today they would do merrily do the same, if a certain bush gave them a chance

And second thing who the Hell America is to think about whole Earth...why they just mind their own bussiness...humm..They just want OIL for free as all UAE and Gulf country licking the USA and giving all their preicious oil for free and only the Saddam is dare to stand AGAINST HIM...As a conclusion I would like to say that Saddam is on right Path he should not go away from IRAQ but that stupid USA BUSh should hide himself in some BUSH...

Your Views:US has behaved like "pottais" (a Tamil word) which means men without balls. They first get the United Nations Inspectors to get rid of the firepowers of Iraq and then when the going is seemingly safe for them they get into attack. They now resemble the typical Beach bully kicking sand into a weaker man's eyes. The United States of Eisenhower and Kennedy was not like that. It took a Clinton to make Bush respectable and it now takes a Bush to make Saddam Hussein respectable. The Bush administration is resembling the typical Stalinist era, with the free press being allowed to function freely only as long as they support the Bush policies. They conjure phrases such as the "coalition of the willing" except that they do not specify what they are willing about. Iranian Oil? How many of these coalition partners are not dependent on American doles? It is not as if the US policy makers are not aware of their weak case. It is just that they are following Machiaevellian logic for empire gains in a cycnical and brutal manner. Us has made 1) UN redundant; 2 and 3)More than Weapons of Mass Destruction, Oil is thicker than blood 3) Democracy cannot be imposed. 4)Saddam and Bush should go.

Your Views:The way President Bush has defied UN council and went ahead with then war shows that countries at UN council is just puppet in front of US. They cannot do anything. Mr.Bush is No one to ask Saddam Hussain and his son's to leave their Mother land. It is the citizens of Iraq who should decide his fate. If any one person has to be branded terrorist. It has to be President George Bush of USA. The whole world should wake up now and stop US from its Evil idea of concuring the whole world. This man can just blame any one person and than bomb the whole country, killing thousands of civilion. Yesterday it was Afganisthan, today Iraq, tomorrow may be Koria or India. Each nation opposing war on Iraq should unite and stop US from bombing and killing innocent people of Iraq. The countires opposing war should help Iraq fighting against USA ( coalition ) force. Mr.Bush's only intention is to control oil field of Iraq. His claim about Iraq having nuclear weopen which can kill innocent people of USA is just a gimmick. Mr. Bush should be branded terrorist number one above Osama bin Laden.

The US says Iraq has possible nuclear weapons, doesnt the US have them, and should the world then unite and ask the US to disarm ? My concern is for the poor suffering of the Iraqi people, they have been suffering for the past 11 years. Something has to be done to stop the US from this aggression. Lets stand together for world peace.

Your Views:Here the question is, what Mr. Bush is doing justice to US people and the whole world? My definite answer is NO. World politics cannot be powered and controlled by whims and wishes of a fanatic leaders. It seems Mr. Bush is trying to complete the job of his father, which he was not able complete 10 years back. Govt. in US have changed, there was 9/11 attack, so many things happened in last 10 years. Who gives the right to US President to take control over the Iraq and ask Mr. Hussain to leave the contry? If India tries to take similar action against Pakistan, will Mr. Bush keep mum about the whole thing and support India? If Iraq pulls neighbouring contries in the war, what would US and UN would do in that case? It's injustice towards humanity. UN and all other contries who are not in favour of war, should protest against and they can go to an extent of putting sanctions against US. Is there any brave leader in the world, who would go for this? Sadly, it's not going to happen and US is continuing with there actions against Iraq. Tomorrow, it could be Pakistan or China, may be any other contry which is going against US. Stop this violance at Global level and live peacefully.

I am wondering about his next target may be N.korea or Iran and if things goes like this we are also endanger species in the years to come. As the things are going this centry will be called as the century of Anti-America. May God give this bush a little wisdom and knowlege to use the power for benefit of humans.

Your Views:What makes a war happen? Backstage of the American attack against Iraq in 1991 The expenses for the Gulf war 40 billion US dollars But who paid for this? Instinctively we say that the $ 40 billion, was paid by the USA Where did they find this money? The oil price before the war was approx. 15$ per barrel... Where did they find this money? Net profit from the increase in the price of oil: 60 billion $ Who owns the oil companies? Let's make some calculations... But this is not over yet... Finally, who paid the '91 war against Iraq? But this is not over yet... So, the USA, have made a total profit of... But this is not over yet... 2. Where did the $ 40 billion spent for the war go? Last thoughts Now it is easy to assume that the Gulf war in 1991, happened for financial reasons only, and not for some "humanitarian reason" or for the "right to freedom". Last thoughts The war in Afghanistan had as a main target the installation of a pawn government that would agree with the construction of a pipe line (American owned), of 2.500 km length that would run across its territory.

Though US is not absolutely correct in their action, someone has to bell this cat which is neither doing good for the Citizens of Iraq for the world in general. Such a Dictator should go rather than continuously doing harm for a good country with well educated citizens in every sphere of life. When he is not going on his own, we have no other alternative but to support Bush in his action. If not now, the Iraqis can never get a chance to live peacefully. After Sad Damn, his sons will come and follow the foot-steps of their father. The bitter pill has to be swallowed, which justifies the action of US.

At the same time, he poses a serious threat to Israel & Western countries. Let there be democracy in Iraq & people live in peace & prosperity.

Your Views:Bush Administration has made the biggest mistake by attacking Iraq.He did not care to think about the plight of the innocent children. How on earth can one force his views on others? The concept of Democracy is lost if it has to be brought with the help of Guns. How will Bush feel if Saddam asks him to leave America & go in Exile? One does not

have to support Saddam but one has to take action sensibly. One feels the advisors of Bush has let down Bush & a big nation like the US. Not obeying the orders of UN is definitely going to tell on the world peace. US has shown the way to many an erring nation by Bush Administration not getting a mandate from UN & yet attacking Iraq.

Your Views:america has no right to dictate who should rule in a country especially when the ruler of that country is co-operating with the world community. it is really sad to see an unethical move from america which is going to undermine united nation organization. this sitution has reached due to the fact america is a sole superpower and no other country is in position to stop it. only a fitting reply by saddam to america can stop them from taking similar position towards other countries but this seems unlikely. Interesting thing is that US is a democratic country and it failed to appricate the fact that majority of countries are oppose to war.

The so called 'allies' includes countries who are dependent on the united states for its aid. Some of them are so small that its very surprising to hear that they have been included in this list. When the vast majority of the countries in the world do not believe in war, it is very surprising to see united states forge ahead against the wishes of the united nations. The united states talks of genocide committed by Saddam, what is Bush doing now???? who has given him the authority to kill Iraqis??? In the middle east other than Israel, i dont see any other country supporting war against Iraq, then how is the united states talking about peace in the middle east, when only one nations views are taken into mind. I am not in favour of Saddams rule or his attitude to Iraqis, but war is not the solution. Everyone wants Iraq disarmed since it is felt to be a threat to the world population. What about the united states , shouldn't it be disarmed to save the world population??

It seems that Bush only want some reason or other to fight Iraq. It is not a case like Afghanistan where Taliban was ruled and their people didn't like that. Here people in Iraq have no bad feelings for Saddam. They are happy in his rule. Thus, there's is no point in establishing democracy forcefully there. This is like an act of dictatorship. This act does not agree with the principles and spirit of democracy. It is another form of imperialism.

This war against Iraq is totally wrong(adharm). As Iraq dosen't have any biological or chemical weapons, USs' intentions are clearly visible that they are greedy for more oil. Iraq had always been an ardent ally of India(even on the Kashmir issue at UN). So India should support Iraq's defence against US. In the present context we have even more justifiable reasons to attack Pakistan and stop Terrorism(US and PAK bred) once and for all.

US definitely has its interest in overthrowing Saddam. It can establish a military base in that country and monitor all the terrorist(read anti American) activities occuring in the whole of gulf. Besides a lot of contracts for building Iraq would go to American companies. This would pull out America from the recession. Recollect that post gulf war in 1992, US went on to become the sole economic superpower by the thrust given by the kuwaiti contracts. It is also good for the surviving Irqui people because of the development and freedom that they would enjoy after the war ends. But the effects of war could be disastrous. Saddam would try to destroy the oil wells of Iraq if he sees that defeat is imminent. This may have a bad economic impact on the world.

If saddam is a threat then what is U.S? If US can amass all sorts of weapons, why can't others do so? If US can preach peace & restrain to India despite the latter facing a real ongoing problem of terrorism, why it is going to war,merely because it percieves a threat from Iraq? If the use thinks it is the only one authorised to do world justice then why is it pampering countries like pakistan who are proven harbourers originators of terrorists/terrorism? Although US can attack Iraq from outside its terroritory with the help of its so-called allies, poor Iraq is in no position to do the same with U.S. Still it is Iraq which is threat?

And the fact that there is no explicit mandate by the United nations gives no right to the United states to launch an attack on Iraq. It has only made the UN look like a spineless organisation. The war isn't about neutralising Iraq's chemical and biological weapons but reeks of the United states greed to control oil-rich Iraq with a puppet government in place. Might be worthwhile asking this question. Who is spending for this war? With oil prices shooting sky high, it would be the common man across the world who would end up coughing the required money. And in the bargain America gets richer. If they are really concerned about protecting the world community, let us see them taking on China. They too have illegally occupied Tibet and have evil designs in Taiwan. I am sure hypocratic America would have a weak answer to this question. :)

Importantly, I do not understand what danger USA is envisaging, sitting thousands of Kilometers away from Iraq. For that matter, even USA is in possession of weapons of mass destruction. This is nothing but the bullying tactics of USA to take over the oil reserves in Iraq. Who the hell is USA to decide who will lead other countries. Bush Junior will be known to future generations as a war monging devil. As on today, if there is any rogue state, it is USA and not Pakistan :) Global political scenario now feels the absence of another super power to put brakes to USA's tantrums. I wish, all peace loving countries, shed their reservations and come out in public to criticise the ghastly acts of USA against small countries. May god bless all the people in Iraq and curse Bush Junior. W/Regards

Your Views:Who is Bush to decide the leader of another Nation? If somebody threatens our PM or President to exile from our country..Imagine..Whether we like our leader or not, another country should not interfere in internal affairs. This is a worst example. Saddam is still having his people's support.Majority of the people elected him as the President. So at any cost, Bush should not ask him to get rid of Iraq. First US has to eradicate all its weapons. After that also it has no right to ask other countries to destroy nuclear weapons. It is no wonder that a capitalist country to behave like this. But Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has backed USA, forgetting Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Until the people of Iraq support Saddam he will be and should be in power.
