Indian Foreign Minister Yashwant Sinha said that India has a better case to launch a preemptive strive on Pakistan than the US on Iraq because Pakistan's alleged support for Kashmiri terrorists and its possession of nuclear weapons. Has the US opened a Pandora's Box in international politics where every country can simply justify war against another through the excuse of preemptive action?

As Baghdad plunges into anarchy with widespread looting in the streets, the world begins to wonder what is the price for the so-called liberation of Iraq?. Is Iraq a hot potato now for the US and Britain? Can the coalition forces find weapons of mass destruction - which was the main justification for invading Iraq - beneath the rubbles of Baghdad?

UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix claimed that the US were already bent on war way before the UNMOVIC team had a chance to thoroughly inspect Iraq for WMD. Even though it is not often admitted, the removal of Saddam Hussein's regime is definitely a key motivation for the US. Now that the regime is toppled, another rogue state has been successfully dealt with, after the Talibans. The world wonders: who's next? Syria? Sudan? Iran? Or North Korea?

India would say, Pakistan should be next. And they might have a point there, thanks to the US.
