War will change nothing for Iraqis or kurds

War will change nothing for ordinary Iraqis or kurds, because the same administration who supported and put Soddem in power in the first place, Bush Snr/reagan and blair/thatcherites, are in control of the fate of the Iraqi people again today. The New world order will not learn from past mistakes.

The Iraqi and kurd people who have endured so much at the hands of Soddem, must continue to suffer the full impact of war. Whereas Bush Jnr extends the hand of mercy to his former pal Soddem, offering Soddem the chance to flee Iraq, the ordinary people of Iraq will not escape or be given such a luxury. They will die in the carpet bombing, as Soddem sneaks out the back door, given a second chance to escape to safety once again. In the 1980s thatcher and the Bush Snr administration sold Soddem nuclear, chemical, conventional and biological weapons to enable Soddem to wield such absolute, complete and totalitarian control/power over his dirt poor helpless citizens. Just as the all elusive alciaeda network and unclesama bin liner miraculously escaped the clutches of our troops, despite Afghanistan being submerged under a blanket of daisy cutters, so Soddem is allowed to escape, live another and come back to haunt us like the ever elusive alciaeda. Meanwhile our trooops are sent into the still radioactive deserts of Iraq to be contaminated with depleted uranium. This war is an outrage not only to ordinary helpless iraqis, but also to our brave troops, who will return home, suffering from gulf war syndrome. To this day, the families of gulf war veterans are still suffering, as their service men husband die from virulant cancers, their children born deformed and dying of ravaging cancers. To date there are servicemen and women who served our country bravely, who are living with the legacy of death, illness, disease due to gulf war syndrome everyday, yet the Army still refuses to acknowleged or compensate them for exposing them to depleted uranium. What hope is there for the present Gulf war soldiers.
