It was abundantly clear from Bush's speech that once again America in its arrogance views the whole world simply as its own personal dominion engaging in any activity or action that she desires. Bush's speech contained many justifications about the need to go to war, Iraq's failure to comply with UN sanctions, the brutality of Saddam Hussain, the possession of weapons of mass destruction and Iraq's links to international terrorist groups. Quite characteristically of the 43rd President of the United States, the speech was long on rhetoric and abysmally short on rational argument. Indeed if Baghdad is to be attacked because it disobeys international law, then presumably Tel Aviv and New Delhi will also be next on the list. Also when did US Presidents start getting a conscience and an aversion in dealing with nasty and brutal dictators as has been evidenced by its past dealings with Marcos and Suharto or its current dealings with its new allies in the 'War on Terror' Karimov and Musharraf. As for the use of weapons of mass destruction, the US has been at the top of this list having used nuclear weapons killing hundreds of thousands in Japan (twice) and its use of chemical warfare via the use of agent-orange in Vietnam burning thousand of Vietnamese women and children to their deaths. It is therefore clear to any rational observer that Bush is not at all concerned about the people of Iraq, the sanctity or relevance of international law, bringing in democratic norms or even about the security of the American people. What Bush and his fellow capitalists in the administration are concerned about are the security, sanctity and welfare of Corporate America. It is not without reason that the defence establishment and the oil industry are rubbing their hands at another Gulf war and the windfall profits that will inevitably follow. This is not a 'War on terror' but a 'War on Muslims' and a 'War to achieve profits for US companies'. All this will be done at the expense of the blood of thousands of Muslims in Iraq. It is clear therefore that only the Khilafah can protect and unify the Muslims of the world, defeat the colonialist agenda and spread justice to the entire world. It is therefore imperative that Muslims stand up and expose with open tongues the lies and the deceit behind the war on Iraq. We have a fundamental responsibility to expose the corrupt basis behind the capitalist agenda and to be at the forefront of exposing the contradictions of the Capitalist ideology and its colonialist worldview. Allah indeed obliges us to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Muslims of Iraq in any upcoming conflict.
