This refers to the editorial of the Radiance (7-13 April). The American invasion of Iraq on the pretext that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction proved baseless. Besides, the invasion itself was mass destruction in the country which displaced around 5 million Iraqi nationals and others are left to die of hunger or polluted atmosphere. It cost America around 6 trillion dollar which was, in fact the hard earned money of its citizens. This was one of the main factors behind the global recession. Moreover, I fully agreeto the idea that America cares only for its own geo-political objectives and the death and destruction of “lesser” men do not bother it at all.
