I REFER to the article by Mohammed Nowaz in last months issue concerning the ongoing Iraq war situation.

I agree that this 'greed and hypocrisy' must stop. Western governments must understand that they cannot continue to ignore one nation's wrongdoings and then 'hatch a plan' to bring down another.

If both Israel and Iraq were told were given conditions to get rid of their weapons, I don't think the world would have a problem with it. It is this 'blind' support for one and hatred of another that has has split the world's opinion. I think Saddam Hussain does not deserve to be in power but he will not be the one who will suffer if a war takes place - the people of Iraq will.
