Insurgentjg

In his article “Nothing Can Morally Justify the Invasion of Iraq” Jacob Hornberger writes that the neo-con supporters of the U.S. government’s war of aggression against Iraq are still holding their hopes high that some how they will be able to prove the war of aggression a right step of US against the Iraqi regime and the day will come for them to proudly announce “You see, this shows that we were right after all to invade and occupy Iraq and kill and maim hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people.”
On the other hand associated press is reporting that U.S. soldiers have come across mass graves and torture cells in North of Baghdad. Where chains were attached to blood stained walls while a metal bed attached to the electrical shock system. Here a point to ponder is whether all the things in torture cell really represented items to torture as definition of suffering and torture depends upon each person’s subjective determination of the term!
The article also wonders and questions whether there was torture in Iraq under Saddam Hussein. If the justifications for inducing torture were different from those employed today by current U.S. torturers. Hornberger made reference to the writings of Rosa Brooks from Los Angeles Times who states that Baghdad has now been divided into “cleansed”neighbourhoods, where Sunnis occupy some areas and Shiites occupy other. U.s strategy to keep the areas safe from violence is to segregate them with walls. A wonderfully interesting way of pentagon to keep peace in a society that is been destroyed with its invasion.
America’s stance on attacking Iraq is that “it is because of the love American government has for Iraqi nation”. Whereas hundreds of thousands of Iraqis are trying to flee to neighbouring countries where U.S. governments has refused to let them immigrate to the United States. What a good strategy to reduce the death toll than by reducing the country’s population?
Things were not crazy enough, we now learn that U.S. government is now in forefronts with Turkey to attack Iraqi Kurds in northern parts of the already ruined country. There is absolutely no logic behind connecting 9/11 attacks to Iraq, especially when none of the attackers were from Iraq. Yet Iraq is a doomed country now where million of innocent people are victimised, tortured and killed. Hornberger relates the Iraq chapter to the famous dictum of Tacitus: “They made a desert and called it peace.”
Nothing can ever be able to justify the war of aggression against a country which is totally innocent of the September 11 attacks. Not even the vague definition of terrorism can morally justify killing millions of Iraqis who were merely trying to get rid of the illegal invaders who were in their country justifying their presence with fake and false rationales.
