Dear Netters
This morning I realized that I could be famous. As some of the netters
already know, I do not have much time left to become so, I crave your
indulgence.
I was inspired by a news-item published in the Daily Telegraph today under
the caption:'General calls for Blair to face trial over Iraq' by Neil
Tweedie.In order to come to the point, I quote the relevant portions below with
my own submissions following that.
>>The Prime Minister had used non-existent weapons of mass
destruction as a casus belli when he probably had some other strategy in
mind......Certainly from a soldier's perspective there can't be any more
serious decision taken by a Prime Minister than declaring war....Then to go to
war on what turns out to be false grounds is something that no one should be
allowed to walk away from."<<
My comments: Read George Bush in place of Tony Blair above. Now, why I
think George Bush should be impeached:
a. He ignored the advice given by his knowledgeable father not to
attack Iraq.
b. Saddam attacked Kuwait because the American Ambassador in a
private talk with the President assured that USA would not interfere
in the event of Kuwait being attacked.USA recalled the Ambassador overnight
and behaved as if that conversation with a friend never took place.Till then
Saddam was a good friend of USA.
c. George Bush had no excuse for ignoring the world body's decision
not to attack Iraq.The UNO's existence rests on the foundation that peaceful
means should be explored to end all conflicts. Iraq was not a power of
equal strength to fight USA or even Great Britain.
d. It is true both Blair and Bush had the backing of their Parliament and
Congress respectively to go to war. But both apparently misled the Parliament
and the Congress.In case of Blair, one of his senior colleagues who had the
benefit of studying the relevant dossiers resigned on the issue.
e. Think of the thousands of British and American soldiers and others, our
own brothers and sisters who died in this battle needlessly for the bungling of
these two leaders.Won't you shed a tear for those near and dear ones who
lost their sons and daughters, wives and children, fiancees etc in the
service of their country? Why are the innocent Iraquis in their thousands
being killed remorselessly and why are their beautiful cities being
destroyed wantonly?
