Iraq conundrum
Mustafa Iqbal Shahadat, Dept. of Geography & Environment, University of Dhaka
A number of civilians and US or British soldiers were killed and many others wounded. Yes, this is the regular news from Iraq. At present, the Iraq situation is very delicate. The guerrilla attacks are intensifying day by day. No place is secure for US led coalition forces as well as innocent civilians of Iraq. The 'green zone', which is called the completely secure place, is also becoming a target. On 12 April 2007, a suicide attack was carried out on Iraqi parliament complex and as a result two parliament members died and many others were wounded.Saddam Hussein and his companions have been hanged, more US soldiers have been deployed and a new policy has been taken. But no initiative is being fruitful to bring back peace. For that reason the people of Iraq are now fully disillusioned with the US forces. And the Bush Administration is now in a quandary. So the United States is going to face the same fate as they did in Vietnam!
