Inevitability and Iraq war
------------------------------------------------

Today, at the time of watching the movie"Brother in arms", I was wondering why we human beings ever fight with each other. Really what's the reason for wars? Can any logical reasoning to defend a war will ever suffice? Iraq invasion and the mayhem after the war shows how little we learn from the pages of history. who are the ultimate winner of this war? Are they the Iraqi people or the Bush administration or the shoddy arm dealers who ultimately benefit from the arm sell or those thriving scientific institutions who rack their brain to invent ultra modern weapons for the post-modern wars?
This is a moot point. Physchology accepts that aggression is part of human instinct. so, sociologically the world can't be free from conflicts. so, wars are those human made disasters which can't be avoided just like natural disasters. And some time wars are the only inescapable option for spreading peace. Remember, those famous lines of Mahabharat which Lord Krishna has uttered to krishna. Sometime, being idealistic doesn't clear the web of confusion.
Put this in the case of Iraqi war. Iraq was ruled by a ruthless dictator whose hands were blood stained, though he provided stability to this nation. Then U.S., without taking cognizance to the views of the world community intruded the country. We all know what happened after the invasion and what's happening now in that country. Iraq has turned literally into a rubble.
But let's go on a ride, where we will design these happenings according to our wishes. If Iraq hadn't been attacked by U.S. then the United Nation led force might have accomplished that task. From, every option, we come to the conclusion that war is the only viable option to dismantle Saddam's regime.
Wait, let's give dialogue a chance. It is debatable whether Saddam would have come to the negotiating table for transforming his country into a democratic nation.
Really, it's utter confusion which is creeping into my mind. I am deadly against the Iraq war but what was the viable option that was left to the world community except a war.
