West Vs Muslim world

Who is aggressive? - West or Muslim world

The Israelis launched a "pre-emptive" attack on a small French-built research reactor ? safeguarded by the International Atomic Energy Agency ? because of their assessment of Saddam's "nuclear ambitions".

The UN Security Council "strongly condemned" the Israeli attack as constituting a clear violation of the UN Charter, and "a serious threat to the entire IAEA safeguards regime, which is the foundation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty."

China and Russia had made it clear to Bush that the UN Security Council Resolution [1441] they had allowed to pass did not authorize the use of force against Iraq. Furthermore, they would not allow any resolution to pass that did.

Nevertheless, Bush launched his war of aggression against Iraq, anyway.

After the 2004 the world came to know that who was truthful really ... Saddam or war-mongering Bush. Whatever Bush said turned out to be false to start the war.

Saddam was a dead snake by 2003 February. Price tag to just check whether the snake was really dead or not was half a trillion dollars and 3000 American lives so far and is still going on. To my knowledge if it continues for next 10 more years, for the US Iraq will become the USSR's Afghanisthan as the war could cost upto 2 trillion dollars.

In the last atleast 50 years Iran did not invade any country on the earth. But the US .... Koreas, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Iraq ....

Only the western media makes the WEST look like peaceful.
