Abstract
American war in the guise of locating weapons of mass destruction (NMD) in Iraq, to "curtail terrorism as projected by their policy makers, has diverse implications for regional and global socio-economic and political scenes_ In this regard, the international print and electronic media portrayed various dimensions and desired images of the post-Saddam Iraq. The missing factor in this debate of international concerns and apprehensions is the implications of the war on the civilian population, particularly on women and children, who are unwillingly engaged in conflicts imposed by both local and global political actors. Prior to war on Iraq, American led allied forces were actively engaged in its 'War on Terrorism" in Afghanistan, where a massive number of civilian causalities were simply described as ''collateral damage" which in their perception was bound to happen in crisis situations.
