No matter what the issue is, it always becomes an avalanche in the Middle East, as the present Lebanon-Israel conflict. It was the abduction of two Israeli soldiers the spark that lit the fires, the whole world held its breath at the showdown: “Return the soldiers or else…” asked Israel, “Only as a prisoner exchange,” Hezbollah replied.
Both sides deny negotiations, the basis for the on going clash becomes Israel’s “right to exist” and an "opportunity" to disarm Hezbollah, murder of the innocent, destruction and horrible devastation in the name of democracy. But who in Middle East makes war to achieve piece? Only fools and criminals…
So it was with Iraq. Great suspense while the USA gathered support to start a war: to save the world from Saddam Hussain's weapons of mass destruction, to liberate the region of a ruthless dictator, to create instant democracy…? or was to secure oil reserves and to complete the 1991 unfinished business…?
And all that carpet bombing in Afghanistan, what was that about? To get Osama Bin Laden? To get the Taliban? To unite the country’s war lords under one USA delegated flag and call it democracy? And still the poppies grow…
