Opinion: Lack of Accountability for Iraq War Enabled Current Iran Crisis
This opinion piece argues that the failure to punish former US President George W. Bush and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair for the 2003 Iraq invasion has directly contributed to the current military escalation against Iran. Marking the 23rd anniversary of Baghdad's fall, the author draws parallels between the catastrophic consequences of the Iraq War and the ongoing conflict involving US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The text highlights Netanyahu's recent bombardment of Beirut, which killed over 250 people, as an attempt to sabotage a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire with Iran. The author characterizes these actions as unprovoked wars of aggression under international law, part of a broader pattern of Western interventions in the Middle East, including Libya, Yemen, and Gaza. The article asserts that these conflicts stem from a racist geopolitical strategy where non-Western lives are undervalued, describing the situation as a collective war by the US and its allies against any resistance to their dominion.
