The war has officially begun. American newspapers are talking about the air superiority that they enjoy over Iraq and go into great lengths to describe the workings of a cruise missile. Some of the operators of these weapons compare the ease of use to a Playstation. Well it is a game indeed for Mr Bush. When Iraqies are scurrying for cover, americans continue their lives just as usual.

Something is wrong somewhere. Wars were never this way. Both the countries share the same nervous moments. In this case America enjoys the distance from the war zone.

Well what is the purpose of the war. Is Iraq is an enemy state. Do we face any threats from Iraq. If anybody does then it is the countries in the proximity. Countries like Kuwaits, Israel and some European nations. Iraq has failed to produce a nuclear device yet. Nor does it have a delivery mechanism to send it 8000 miles away. Are we fighting this was on somebody's behalf OR is it Mr Bush's personal score.
