Judgement of the future !

Judgement of ........Over 60 percent of the people in Britain demand of their government to withdraw its troops from Iraq immediately. Some give the government some time up to X’mas, but not beyond. Many British believe it a foreign policy disaster. The same feeling is being reported from the USA. The allied forces have failed in Iraq and now they are talking of dividing the country into three parts with a wish to keep the oil rich area with them. The dawn of democracy in Iraq has claimed lives of over six hundred and fifty thousand people of Iraq. The allied forces are reported to have lost about three thousand people of their own. How will the future historian judge the acts of those responsible for this mass murder? The judgement of the present is already on the anvil. The after effects have already started in the UK. Prime Minister Tony Blair is already in the docks and President Bush, is expected to lose majority of both Houses of the Congress to Democrats in the mid term elections next month. Much more should follow. -ZULFIQAR ALI BUTT, London, UK, via e-mail, October 24. ...... ...... ..... (Published in the Daily Nation, Lahore, Pakistan ... on October 29th, 06).
