Injustice never pays
The whole world is in a turmoil, violent incidents are taking place frequently in many countries, our country is also not being spared. This situation would not have materialised if former US President G.W.Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair had not invaded Iraq on a false pretext, turning the historic and a prosperous land into ruins.
Tony Blair has said sorry for the 170 British soldiers killed in the Iraq war but remains silent about half a million or so Iraqis killed in the unjust war. The consequences of Iraq war has given rise to terrorism and unrest, injustice never pays, affected people are breeding hatred in their hearts and its outcome is becoming visible.
In another development on March 19, 2011 United States supported by some NATO countries including UK began an invasion in Liibya to remove Muammar al-Quaddafi, US President Barack Obama said it is for regime change. But it was known that Libyans were happy with Quaddafi as he was kind to them. This invasion also cost many innocent lives .
What a mess the super powers have made for which the whole world is paying dearly.
