HYDERABAD, Sept 6: The US should avoid use of force against Iraq as it had “no moral or legal mandate” to launch an attack on Baghdad, this was the consensus among speakers of a group discussion, which was held at the department of International Relations at the University of Sindh. The topic of the discussion was “Iraq-US conflict.”
Eight students spoke on the occasion.
Speakers stressed on the need for renewed diplomatic efforts to defuse the situation, saying that the conflict should be resolved through negotiations alone.
One of the participants quoted the legendary Chinese strategist, Sun Tzu: “Weapons are the tools to be used when there is no alternative.” The participants of the discussion were of the opinion that use of force would only worsen the situation besides weakening the American stand on war against terrorism.
Professor Abdul Latif Tunio and Dr Lutfullah Mangi also expressed their views on the current geo-political situation.
