The war turns Five

Yesterday, on the 19th of March 2008, the world either celebrated or mourned, depending on your perspective, what is the fifth anniversary of what news channels called, "The US-led War on Terror”
I simply call it, America’s unjustified invasion of Iraq.

Now, 5years and some $200 billion later we are still clueless. There were no “Weapons of Mass destruction” (is this getting too old?), no “links to terror organizations” and as we see now, no reason to continue. Except that it’s already too late; people are still dying, violence is only on the up rise, and the economies (both Iraq and the US) can’t be much worse.

I don’t know where things go from here.
I can only pray, ask Allah subhana wa ta’ala to give peace and victory to the innocent, hungry masses that roam the streets without food for no fault of theirs.
Ameen.

Assalamu alaikum,
Ameen..

And if we condemn America's ruthless acts, according to a few heads here, Muslims are being 'soft' on terror. :(

As you said, we can only pray for those innocent souls. It was earlier communist countries, now countries like Iran and Iraq, who knows, tomorrow it could even be us!

@the victorious
True...but the one thing that still flares me up is that even after all this; everyone's only concerned abt the 4,000 US soldiers who died invading the country.
What about the 250,000 civilians?

I can't say anything more than this. Let us wait for the Day of Judgement.

Insha Allah.
