Ramanand Sengupta on Iraq after the war: “Suppose, France and Germany refuse to reach for their chequebooks to help rebuild Iraq. Russia is unlikely to offer more than promises... anyway”
I don’t agree with his sentiments entirely, but it is an article well worth reading for his cynicism.
Opening content from the article are below:
For sheer chutzpah you have to hand it to the Americans.
'Liberate' Iraq, and then make sure that they pay for the war.
It’s like having someone defecate on your doorstep and then ringing the bell and asking for a toilet roll.
Or take US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s recent remarks that the portrayal of American prisoners of war held in Iraq on television violated the Geneva Convention. If I was his agent, I’d surely put him up there with Seinfield and the Looney Tunes...
Like the man who bought a new boomerang but couldn’t throw away the old one, the US attack on Iraq has added a force multiplier to the deadly cycle of terror and counter terror.
Personally, I am still not convinced by the argument by US and UK that this is a war of liberation. Because, North Korea has bigger WMD, stronger missiles, more suffering people and possibly a dictator with more dangerous ideas. What makes Iraq the target? All I can think of is, oil, proximity to Iran (one stone, two birds), less expensive war and the action is not very close to China or Russia. So, please, don't tell morality is the reason for this war.
