The budget plan includes $700 million for appropriations for the current year for the military. To the approval of President’s the budget request, would mean significant cuts in educational and health services will have to be restricted. Democrats are upset displeased. By September 2008, $716 million will reportedly be spent for just America's defense. We also know that Bush wants to send a further 21,500 troops to Iraq, where the situation is growing becoming worse by day by day. If America had used the money it has been spent for humanitarian purposes, rather than military conquest, the United States would have surely won the hearts and minds of the Iraqis. Democracy cannot be implemented with simply waving of a magical wand. It begins with a change in mentality. Individual rights become a generalare demanded need over time. The establishment and working of organization of civil societies takes time. First and foremost, there must be a strong ground for freedom of expression, so that different views can be freely expressed in the society as well as in the administration. Democratization of a country or region is tied to its own people and internal dynamisms.
Certainly, indubitably, the fight against terror is important; it so important that we cannot expect one country to defeat deal with it alone. A global stance is the only way to fight against global terror. However, One we cannot allow violation of basic human rights for the sake of fighting terror. One cannot overcome global terror by discriminating against some religious group that is perceived to be a potential source of terror group.
Now, we are now face-to-face with a very critical situation: It has been four years since the US began its occupation in of Iraq,. M millions of dollars have been spent on the war effort;, hundreds of thousands of human people lives have been killed lost, and yet each day dozens more innocent people are being killed. Not only has this damaged America's image, but also it has also seriously widened the gaps between groups. Since the start of the occupation, the Middle East has been victimized by ethnic and sectarian clashes violence, which means a civil war in Iraq is almost inevitable. Measures to avoid a civil war are not being taken. On the contrary, every day there are cases that push the country a little further to the brink of civil war. Nonetheless, a civil war would mean intervention by neighboring countries. There are countries that will take sides with one of the ethnic and sectarian groups. While there is a dire need for political stability to keep Iraq unified, occupation forces haven't done their best to provide such stability in the country. It seems Iraq is headed towards a more complex and stressful difficult period.
Now, the most important question: is, how will America, which has suffered great stress in Iraq, withdraw from the country with the least amount of loss damage? Obviously, it is not going to stay in Iraq forever. One way or another it will leave. The world threat of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction was eliminated with the execution of Saddam Hussein, so what can America's excuse be to stay in Iraq for many more years? If and once law and order is established, the legal existence of US troops in the country will become a greater debate of international law. That said, establishing stability today is as important as making sure stability will continue tomorrow last. Further troop deployment and additional money will not resolve the Iraqi problem. Iraq's internal energy and regional facts must be re-examined. There is need for a lasting peaceful formula in the region; otherwise, Iraq will encounter face greater problems in the future. It is important that education, health and economy-related problems receive as much attention and contemplation as military solutions. If America does not find a way out of Iraq that will please the countries in the region, Iraq will experience problems worse than the pre-occupation period. It has thus far experienced.
