The Iraq war is in final stage. The battle is going on in every part of this unlucky country. Saddam is making every effort to hinder the allied forces from getting of his country. TV station of Iraq has been destroyed. Apparently it seems that Saddam is fighting a lost battle and there 0° chance of getting back hi country or throwing the allied forces out of Iraq, but even if he gets defeated or is killed, he is still to be respected as having done something which is very beneficial the world as a whole i.e. he lifted the veil from the face of all allied countries and lies behind the screen came to light.

America claims himself democratic and civilized country who believes in human values and human life is treated very sacred by Americans. It is behind the concept of human rights, Britain is no less claiming a great supporter of human rights, but this war made it manifestly clear that whenever his own interests are in clash with human rights he never bothers to violate rights. Be it prisoners of war or civilians of Iraq or Afghanistan. He has to complete his design even if its soldiers may have to walk on the heaps of heads of the enemy. No matter these heads may be of army or innocent children and woman. This is the reason that countless civilians were killed with the bombardment of America similarly hundreds were injured seriously. These heart breaking casualties were not due to mistake or misunderstanding as the civilian areas were made target deliberately. Hospitals were also brought under the bombardment. This all was done with the sole object of teaching the Iraq a lesson so that those may not dare to support their president. The pictures that are shown by different TV channels show that all the record of barbarism have been broken. This all shows that allied forces are misleading the world in general by talking of and claiming guardians of human rights. They did not spare the buildings which were full of media persons, even five journalists were killed and many injured. The allied forces are in a haste to kill Saddam and destroy Iraq to the extent that a new turn of “Friendly Fire” was created to explain incidents of firing between allied forces. This haste did not allow allied forces to check the Embassy cars of Russia and subjected them o bombardment.

This war has also clarified that Western media is also following the policy which is unrealistic. Whole world had been given to understand that Iraq is under a despotic ruler the people are being crushed and tortured. In the hearts of the people there is nothing for Saddam except the hatred and hate. But since the war broke out till the 20 th day of war not a single resident raised voice against Saddam. Though the aggressive forces have claimed of entry in the Iraq and could easily afford protection to Anti Saddam movement. Instead many occasions came in this war when the people of Iraq showed solidarity, love and respect for their ruler. Saddam was also shown an enemy of Shia Muslims but the realities proved different especially in Basra where the allied forces have almost full control.

The coalition forces made Iraq target due to the reason that Saddam possessed Chemical weapons and the purpose was to get rid of these weapons of mass destruction, though later on only Saddam’s dethroning was declared arm of attack. From last 19 days allied forces made every effort to get the Chemical weapons but in vain only some drums of certain chemical was found. Though the location of these drums was so much unsafe and unsuitable for such weapons. The allied forces were eager to show their power i.e. weapons of destruction like Bombs and in a hurry did not bother to wait till UN inspectors complete the inspection. Consequently Inspectors were called back without completion of their job in Iraq. May be allied groups will put such weapons in Iraq and later on will show their recovery dramatically in any part of the Iraq. It is also possible that in the search of their own weapons of mass destruction may be subjected of their search which they had given to Saddam when he was their blue eyed boy.

In fact what is America doing has always been done by powerful person i.e. to raise any person to highest position till he is needed and once need is satisfied or the person starts acting as per his own choice they bring him to senses by any means. Those countries must get a lesson from Iraq who do not utilize their time and finances for making themselves independent an believe America or any other any other country as their God father. Those must realize that once they do not act in conformity with the wishes of these God fathers or their resources underlying the ground are finished those will be between the devil and deep sea. Presently who are living in comfort and luxury due to their help must know that all concessions etc. will be withdrawn once these resources are consumed by foreigners. Instead if they want to live honorably they must utilize their all resources for strengthening their base and not to remain in deep sleep. Their fate will be like Iraq however they will get the concession as was given to No-man by Cyclobe of “eating him after eating all his companions.” When wine was served to Cyclobe by No-man. Saddam had no option but to resist whatever his short comings may be or what mistakes he might have committed in the past, but one thing is evident. That he has courage to face foreigners who wants to loot his country and exploit all its resources. He choosed not to yield before aggressors though those are very powerful. Fort 20 days he witnessed so far. Iraq became crippled but the president gave such a resistance to coalition forces as was not anticipated by any person. Even if Saddam died his wealth will be of a brave soldier not as coward. This will be such type of death for which hundreds of lives to be sacrificed. He has given a lesson that it is better to embrace death instead to live as caulm-less person.
