On 15th its Independence day of India and warm wishes to every Indian on the planet. And when India celebrates one of its happiest days in the history, one country is being oppressed by a tyrant called George Bush-
IRAQ. The war on Iraq is unjust and through my blog I protest the war.
I would like to tell everyone how the coalition lead by USA really works. There are some 23 countries which are currently participating in the war. Please check the names of the countries and the troops involved in it. USA 130,000, United Kingdom 8,761, South Korea 3,600, Italy 3,085 (began phased withdrawal of troops in March 2005), Poland 1,700 (began to withdraw troops in October 2004), Ukraine 1,450 (announced to withdraw troops by October 2005), Georgia 889, Romania 860, Australia 850, Japan 550 (limited to non-combat zones only), Denmark 496, Bulgaria 450(began phased withdrawal of troops in March 2005), El Salvador 380, Mongolia 180, Azerbaijan 151, Latvia 122, Lithuania 118, Slovakia 105, Czech Republic 80, Albania 71, Estonia 55, Macedonia 33, Kazakhstan 25.
Countries with no military involvement. Several countries chose not to send military or combat troops to support the invasion, but instead pledged their solidarity with the Coalition .Angola, Colombia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iceland, Kuwait, Micronesia, Rwanda, Solomon Islands, Uganda and Uzbekistan.
And the countries who have left are Nicaragua (withdrew 115 troops in February 2004), Dominican Republic (withdrew 302 troops in May 2004), Honduras (withdrew 370 troops in June 2004), Spain (withdrew 1400 troops in June 2004), Philippines (withdrew 51 troops in July 2004), Thailand withdrew 443 troops in August 2004), Hungary (withdrew 300 troops in December 2004), Tonga (withdrew 40 troops in December 2004), Moldova (withdrew 12 troops in February 2005), Portugal (withdrew 128 policemen in February 2005 ), Netherlands 800 (withdrew 1350 troops in March 2005), Singapore (withdrew its single amphibious transport dock deployed in the Persian Gulf in March 2005 ).
Most of the countries either are newly liberated east European countries or are those who depend on US food supplies and aids. I ask why is did US attack Iraq?? Because Sadam Hussain was a dictator?? Or was he a bad man?? I am very sad for what is happening in Iraq. Most of the big and powerful nations don't support the war and how can we celebrate the Independence day if there is still Imperialism existing in the world?
This is just some data to make everyone understand that the war is unjust and US should leave Iraq as soon as they can. Please Mr. Bush you have given us enough problems now please let everyone live in peace. Even the United Nations Secretary General
Kohfi Annan says so.
I would be posting soon on why Bush didn't attack Saudi Arabia although 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis (I say Bush and not US because Bush has some companies whose key stock holders are Saudis) , why US has suddenly stop saying anything to China about human rights, why is Pakistan the biggest ally of US in Asia, why US gave $41 million to Taliban in 2001 to fight the mujahedeen, etc etc. I have data to support it.
Happy Independence day to every Indian and may we see a better world tomorrow with out Bush.
