Opinion on US-Iraqi Crisis

Paper Summary:

This essay summarizes and briefly interprets two articles about the U.S. war on Iraq, both taken non-U.S. newspapers. The articles, one Canadian and one from Australia, are clearly critical of the U.S.'s attempts to instigate military action on Iraq. The paper examines how this may reflect a growing worldwide opinion that the US has no right to bring the world to war by insisting on military action against Iraq.

From the Paper:

"In an article entitled "Trigger-happy US checked by UN safety catch", Journalist Marian Wilkinson delves into the US war on Iraq. Published in the Sydney Morning Herald, this Australian article starts with the note that the United States and Britain "quietly ditched" a hard-line draft of a resolution on Iraq before that resolution made it to the United Nation's (UN) Security Council negotiating table. The article notes that the initial hard-line resolution would have "committed the United Nations Security Council to a military strike on Iraq within weeks"."
