The war o­n Iraq has absolutely no justification. Since Iraq itself invaded Kuwait in 1990, there has been no other instance in recent history when o­ne nation has attacked another without provocation. All this talk of weapons of mass destruction and installing democracy in Iraq are nothing but sloppy excuses for aggression.

This war is nothing but naked imperialism. The Bush regime decided from the beginning to invade and conquer Iraq come what may, and "to hell with the UN". This is nothing but a colonial-era war and should be roundly and soundly condemned by all.

It is a straightforward case of o­ne nation bullying another much-weakened o­ne (naturally North Korea will not get the same treatment because it is not a weakling and in spite of greater excesses than the Saddam regime, it can safely snub the US) . By this aggression, the US has reiterated the notion of might being right. It has also signed the death warrant of the UN.
