Road to peace is through non-violence

DID anyone doubt that this war was about oil? Where are the weapons of mass destruction and Iraq’s chemical and biological weapons programmes?

More than 1,500 Iraqi civilians are reported to have been killed, thousands more injured and maimed by US bombings, including the infamous “cluster bomb”. And God only knows how many Iraqi troops were killed.

In 1967, Martin Luther King Jr said: “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defence than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” Not much has changed.
