It is sad that many people of today tend not to ask themselves why they believe in certain things. I strongly believe in what is right for the people of Iraq, and that is to stand up for themselves as a nation and face their problems as they arise.

Had they not been an independent state for many years? The answer is a straight yes!
Then why should they allow a foreign power to come in and tell them the so-called �RIGHT WAY�?

If the world opened its eyes to the light and realise the new colonialism that is fast evolving in a shell of fine coat. We might be long gone when it becomes fully developed but we are to blame for the suffering of our descendants.

The west has repeatedly forced civil unrest and continues to use this tactic as a means of control over, the heir of rich lands.

Didn�t the rape our virgin Africa with false pretexts of civilisation, Christianity, industrialisation and they are master at selling their stories.

Lets look at our world from all perspectives regardless of who has the most power and we will realise that many are starving, dying, homeless and in need of the least of life�s basics in their land. All this while the same people that portray themselves as world lovers, plunder oil, metals, agricultural produce. They even establish their companies in lands of what they call �cheap labour�.

Children manufacture shoes that they cannot afford themselves. All this and George bush knows it. He probably has a pair of Nike�s for himself but he is in Iraq �fighting for the people of the world�.

I am not saying anything about who should run the affairs in Iraq or whichever nation is painted dim and dull by western arts. I�m trying to provoke thought:

WHY DOES ONE OFFER HELP TO ME BASING ON THE SAME PRINCIPLES THAT HE VIOLATES?
Hypocrisy is in all scriptures, associated with the greedy.

Whoever reads this and takes it to heart is a lesson richer.
