Iraq War

This picture shows a boy being burnt in the Iraq War. I guessed we can only describe the war in one word, cruel. The war was carried out as president of USA, George Bush claimed that Iraq possessed and was actively developing weapons of mass destruction, thus posing an imminent threat to US. However, I strongly believed that this war should not take place in the first place though Iraq might have possessed weapons of mass destructions. Instead talks for peace should be in place of the war as no casualties would be done. Many lives, the Iraqis as well as the Americans, were lost during this war. Yes, indeed death is inevitable in war. However what matters the most are innocent lives of the Iraqis who knew nothing about this war beforhand that were taken away in the war. Even a boy was not spared of his limbs in this war. How could we not condemn such inhumane acts? Besides the lives that were lost, the financial cost of this war is simply tremendous said to be around one trillion US dollars. This war would also trigger other terrorist events such as September 11 at the World Trade Centre. Thus I think that this Iraq War should not have taken place at all.
