So finally Mr. Bush has given Iraq and President Saddam Hussein a deadline of 48 hours (well now already 24) to disarm or otherwise face a military assault of United States and Britain. There is very unlikely situation that the French will join in if and I repeat if Saddam Hussein urges to attack with chemical and biological amunitions, the things can be different, French President Jaques Chirac said in his speech today.
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has asked the UN weapon instructors to leave Iraq immediately as there is a likely threat of them becoming a Saddam hostage. CNN correspondents are still there though reporting frequently without fear of such acts. They even said that the Iraqi government have promised for their safety and have talked with them many times to insure there credibility.
UN chief weapon instructor Hans Blix in his briefing today said that Saddam Hussein didn't cooperate with them until the last month or so when he became proactive and gave the weapons instructors a 12000 pages of weapon descriptions of their artillery and arsenal that they possess. Saddam himself has admitted that he possesses weapons of mass destruction but he also said that it was only for their defense of a likely attack by Israel. Thing are blur if he was the sponsor of the 9/11 terror attack in NYC and also the man behind the Al Qaeda terrorist network.
Saddam Hussein has clearly stated that he will not leave his country and that President Bush should be sacked immediately following his ruthless and meaningless aggression. Iraqi foreign minister even quoted Bush saying he was totally a 'crazy man' and that the US and British people were not sensible enough in choosing their respective President and Prime Minister. He also said in his speech that President Bush acted without the security council backing and the members of the security council were not willing for war because they veto such acts and that diplomacy can still be found, if done with the right acts and minds. They is always a place for diplomacy. US wants war because they benefit from it, the foreign minister further said.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar have been under lots of pressure by their people back home. Most of the British and the Spanish people do not prefer war without the permission of the security council. But Prime Minister Tony Blair defended his decision on going to war with Iraq today by saying that United States, the long term ally and friend of Britain, needed Britain's help and that he is willing to go on any boundary to provide such help. America needs Britain, Tony Blair said in his very emotional, patriotic and aggressive speech. At the end he got the vote he needed for his support.
As thousands of US and British troops prepare for war, people around the world stay put under their television sets or radio sets to get the news on war. It is a very grim time for peace around the world and lets all hope that this crisis will be over without without much casualities and very soon because any longer and destruction of mass variety can occur, possibility of a third world war will be very likely, muslims around the world have gotten tired of American government going after them, atleast that is what they think, and they might cause havoc. Who knows if Saddam's artillery is filled up with chemical and biological ammuitions, he will die and with him will die many many innocents soldiers, innocent victims of a deadly war and and already President Bush has gone down in the history as the only President who has attacked without being attacked first.
Let us all pray that this grim days will be over soon.
God save us all.
