US War On Iraq
21 March, 2003
Without UN approval, US and Britain have launched attacks on Iraq. In his speech to the nation, President Bush said "We will meet that threat (Iraq)now with our Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and Marines, so that we do not have to meet it later with armies of firefighters, police and doctors on the streets of our cities."
This has triggered two important questions,
1) Right of 'Preemptive Attack' where one country invades the other on the basis of information that the later is preparing for war against the former and 2) The effectiveness of UNO which in this case has failed to stop the war.
In all other cases, when a country is attacked by another, the country who launch the attack is called aggressor and is condemned by the rest.
What do you think how should the countries of the world including Pakistan, respond to US attack on Iraq ?
Should the invaders be called aggressors and be condemned?
