Five years of war in Iraq

Filed Under Middle East | Leave a Comment

The world has paid a very heavy price for the wrong US decision of mounting attack on Iraq. To punish one man, even if he was not a good ruler, and a handful of his supporters1 million innocent people have been killed and more than 40 thousand have been rendered homeless. And in this war, half as long as the Trojan War, American’s loss of over forty thousand soldiers is not insignificant. Either.

It has been proved beyond doubt that allegation of producing WMD was groundless .It was all a game for capturing of oil fields of Iraq. It had no connection of whatsoever with war on terror. The attack on Iraq was an act of terror in itself. Blood is thicker than water or not but Americans have proved that, blood is cheaper than oil.

Withdrawal from Iraq

Filed Under Middle East | Leave a Comment

America hates Taliban but it has chosen a man to run the affairs of Iraq whose name has full Taliban in it. How can the problems be solved if Taliban is there under their very nose. To create atmosphere of peace and establish the rule of law America should stop ruling through stooges Arrange a fair and impartial pole, hand over the power to the people of Iraq and withdraw.

Longer the stay it will make in Iraq dimmer will get its neutrality as a super power.

Jimmy Carter meets Hamas Leader

Filed Under Middle East | Leave a Comment

khaled meshaal Former US president Jimmy Carter has met the Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal in the capital of Syria. The meeting took place under tight security and media persons were not allowed to cover the event. The Bush administration and Israel has strongly criticized the meeting. Hamas is regarded as a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States and the European Union. It has carried out attacks against Israeli targets and has vowed to carry out attacks in future as well.

The meeting is very significant as perhaps for the first time and international figure has met the Hamas leader. I think that Mr. Carter has done a right thing by meeting Khaled Meshaal as in my opinion it will help in finding a solution of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Simply branding Hamas as a terrorist organization and refusing any contact with it is not going to do any good. Hamas has mass support and had won the previous elections in the Palestinian Authority. The Government of Hamas was dismissed by President Mahmud Abbas after the donor countries stopped the financial aid and created a financial crisis.

I think that Mr. Carter must use his influence to bring all the parties in the conflict on table and start meaningful dialogues in order to find a solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. If somehow this issue is solved it would bring a healthy change in the region and it will be seen that militancy will also decrease.

According to Reuters Mr. Jimmy Carter has set out a plan for cease fire between Hamas and Israel. The second round of talks would discuss the proposals put forward by Mr. Carter for the cease fire.
