Following Penny's blog topic (what thinking about war now the Iraqi are liberated!)
... it's been disturbing for a few days to think about the positive side of the war. Obviously the positive thingie is that Sadman has disappeared and Iraqi can start enjoying freedom.
A freedom which won't be easy to live with the chaos there at the moment.

As an Iraqi one said, we must not forget that "our" embargo provoked the death of 500 000 children there. Maybe before letting Bush chosing war, the UNO could have thought about this ermm "point" and done much more to help these people during 12 years.
It's been ages we should have helped the Iraqi, we've done the contrary.

So yes it is wonderful to see the people in the streets showing their happiness. Though you never know... Besides the end of their dictator, they might also be happy because the bombing is stopping...

So was that war good at the end?
I hear on tv Iraqi worshiping Bush'government as much as others being almost as worried as "before", for they feel they're far from enjoying Freedom. Those ask desperatly for the help of UNO, but UNO has lost power and credibility. UNO will be only good now to give the "coalition" $$$ to rebuild the country.

Personnally, I'm naturally relieved for the end of the dictatorship. But I'm still completly against the way it has happened.
Well, it's like you can do justice by yourself or follow the law. This time, some people have decided they could take their gun and get rid of the baddie. They've considered they were beyong the law and that justice was to be done by themselves.

It is also on a World point of view, that this war is very worrying. The USA threatens the countries there, and these countries will not respond to any international institution (as UNO) anymore since they've just seen the USA did not care about what UNO recommended. Whatever they do, the USA-UK might attack anyway.

And this war might mean countries can now decide which country should be liberated from their leader. What will happen if some consider Bush has somehow stolen the President's seat and that the country should be liberated from him! LOL. No, that's scary. War as a way to bring peace is absurd.

So the World balance is now highly fragilized.

About Iraqi, I hope they'll be given their freedom and democracy and not imposed (as it seems to be the case with the "American" new government there).
We're back to the brutal time of indians and cowboys. The law of the strongest.

Sigh
