Humanitarian Crisis in Iraq: Statements.

 

It is aggrandisement – there is no doubt about it. There is no other way to describe it. But what happens? Afghanistan was overtaken and there is, in its main city, a semblance of governance, but the rest of the country is as lawless as ever. Nobody wants Saddam Hussein, as Senator Ormonde stated, but if you talk like this you are somehow believed to be on his side. How could anybody be on the side of a tyrant who denies everything of democracy to all his people? There has to be another way which is better than a war, because at the end of the day war achieves nothing.
