The United Nations Security Council refused to rubber-stamp the Anglo-American attack on Iraq in 2003 because there was no casus belli and as such the attack was illegal, being an intrusion into a sovereign State occasioning murder and destruction of property using military hardware.

Someone has a lot of explaining to do, preferably in a court, if today's world is indeed civilized and not a lawless playground run by corporate elitists.

Thanks to George Bush's (and that of his poodles) "Freedom and Democracy", the people of Fallujah who have any chance of survival today are the ones who have been lucky enough to flee - some 16,000 to 18,000 families because the others are trapped inside a living hell-hole.

The al-Qaeda militants who have taken the city are just as likely to slice the breasts off women there as they are doing in Syria, where the "Opposition" is backed by the West, they are just as likely to decapitate boys, old men, old ladies, before raping the decapitated bodies or playing soccer with their heads, roasting people alive in ovens or impaling babies on metal rods.

Today, women's rights have all but disappeared in large swathes of the country, women are forced to wear the veil, at least, if not a burqah, most of the country's youth is unemployed, the country is unstable, chaotic, unsafe, has figures registering victims of terrorist attacks worse than some civil wars and Iraq is crawling with al-Qaeda terrorists and other militant groups.

The situation in Anbar Province is described by the UNO as "critical", as al-Qaeda has taken the city of Fallujah, where stocks of food, water and medicines are running out. The years ago, before the Anglo-American-led invasion of Iraq, the citizens of Fallujah lived peacefully, went about their daily lives, had food and water, went to school and enjoyed religious tolerance. In a word, they were free.
