Whosoever advocates Iraq war, stirs up the hornet's nest. And to some extent it is plausible as war has horrible connotations, and can never be endured. And in this context can Iraq War be justified?

It's irrefutable that this war came into being due to the injudicious, political stratagems of earlier governments but it cannot be denied that it was an apt refuge to hark upon as this world was getting torn apart by some religious fanatics and extremists.

In order to silence the irrational rebels, many peaceful methods were employed but when these endeavors couldn't kindle in these fundamentalists the dire need of peace and sagacity the last resort was to retaliate, strike back till the apple-pie cart order was restored.

Now, if the pretext to launch the Iraq war was the weapons of mass destruction', which ultimately couldn't be located, does it render the whole affair futile and malignant?

Well, I think that as it has dealt a massive blow to the intertwined mesh of terror, rattled this ever burgeoning network down to its roots, sabotaged the unbelievable stability this network had acquired over the decades, and finally has united this world on one stance in order to tackle and purify this world off this foul system, the Iraq war hasn't been a vain toil.
In the backdrop of this discussion, I have in the following article attempted to endorse what the title implies.
This article will swing from a poem that I composed when War On Terror was still in its infancy to the essay of Thomas Paine and then to a quotation of the 10th Guru of Sikhs that he made during 16-17 century, when his countrymen were assailed by the barbarism of the then despotic Mughal rulers. In a word this quote shall remain the staple of this article.

Poem...
To save the Blue!

When Americans were lying in deep slumber.
They were aloof of the open day light threat.
Their foresight couldn't see the burgeoning webs of evil.
Where were the glorious ones who are natural to protect?

But at the behest of the heart wrenching tragedy.
At last Americans attacked the vainglorious radicals.
They overthrew these extremists who are remote from humanity...brotherhood.
And who regard themselves as God's messengers.

One has to rise to ward off such fanatics.
Else their evil legacy will envelop the Blue.
They are drawing a niche that invites hatred.
Join hands to topple them or let them continue.

These atrocious rebels have mingled with the society.
To bring an end
