A war without justification

THE EDITOR: Isn’t it strange how quickly the European Union has taken issue with Cuba on its actions against persons convicted of treason? Such treasonous activities have been engineered by the government of the United States for years using the Cuban mafia operating out of Florida. The United States actively encourages and supports such activities against a small Third World country struggling to create its own political system based on what is best for the vast majority of its people. In any event, the matter is a purely domestic one an action by a government in defence of its sovereignty in keeping with its laws. How strange that the European Union does not contemplate any sanctions against the United States for invading another country, using a lie as a pretext. What sanctions are the European Union going to impose on the United States and Great Britain for the unjustified murder of thousands of Iraqis? The war against Saddam Hussein was not a domestic matter nor was it sanctioned by the United Nations, as is required by international law. What right does the United States or any other country have to invade another sovereign nation, bringing death and destruction and leaving devastation in its wake? The lie is now coming to the fore. There are no weapons of mass destruction, and therefore the war had no justification. But there was no denying George “Dubya” Bush who has now earned his place in history alongside Adolph Hitler as the man who waged war based on a lie.
