On the tenth anniversary of the American invasion of Iraq
(March, 2003), numerous articles appears in the American mass media reflecting
on the biggest blunders committed in the history of the U.S. by the Bush
administration. The few people who were concerned about American national
interest predicted this tragedy.
However, the major newspapers of the media began to dance to
the tune of music set by the Bush administration and the lobbyists representing
those who would benefit from the invasion of Iraq.
The American congress, which Harry Reid described as the
most corrupt in the history of the U.S., supported the invasion without
examining any evidence in support of the war.
The consequences of the invasion reflect some serious
problems, such as:
1)
The cost of the war to American taxpayers has
been estimated to exceed $2.5 trillion. All of this money was borrowed from
foreign governments, especially China. It was a war that was fought on credit
cards.
2)
More than 4,500 American soldiers were killed in
vain and an additional 32,000 were injured. In addition to the negative
psychological and emotional impact of the war on veterans is reflected in—among other things—high suicide rates, at
almost one per day.
3)
The
negative impact of the war in Iraq has been disastrous to humans, as well as
environmentally, politically, and economically. Literally speaking, Iraq was
destroyed. The U.S. government put it on a silver platter and turned it over to
Iran.
The tragedy is that
no one has been tried for these blunders, including Bush and his criminal gang.
The U.S. political system is filled with loopholes, which encourages politicians
to lie and mislead the public without consequences for this deception.
It is a pity that the article did not even mentioned about the death of innocent civilians in millions including women and children, and the attack on hospitals, schools. We need to improve our outlook and should learn to love all human beings irrespective of their religion,race,color.
