The Twisted War Game

The Twisted War Game

Two soldiers kidnapped = multiples of 100 civilians murdered(Lebanon).
How can one justify this equation? Isn’t it grossly disproportionate? I think this absurd logic is what Bush, Rice and their coterie believe in. To justify an act by coining a word called terrorism, using it as & when they please, killing & maiming innocent civilians, displacing communities, depriving livelihood & the end result of creating havoc & lasting civil war. In the world stage US allows this to happen directly or indirectly.
Isn’t there a better way to tackle terrorism? I am sure there is and the need of the hour is to use non violent ways effectively. To quash the ideology of terrorist has to be the focus of world powers and efforts should be made to remove it from the root. The mind & attitude of people should be changed to respect human beings. Therein lays the solution.
To achieve that the first & foremost should be to gain the confidence of the people and use that human force to drive terrorist out rather than using brutal fire power which is not giving the desired results as we have seen it time and again boomerang. The number of terrorists is miniscule but the reach & support they have with people is enormous. The basics are simple that is people are not happy with the government policies and so terrorists exploit this to their advantage. Many countries oppose the action of US but are compelled to ignore because of dependency & lack of support.
To maintain equilibrium in a balance we need two equal weights and so is the power play in the world politics but right now we have tilted balance because US is the sole superpower. All world players big & small need to dance to their tune. This dance will soon become a break dance & then the unthinkable will happen.
That is when the other countries unite & say enough is enough and it will then culminate to the great East West War. Is this the future America is envisaging? If America wants a peaceful world then it should drastically change its foreign policy and find alternate ways to combat terrorism. I would say they are now sophisticatedly primitive in the sense they are supporting the principle of give 2 take 200 so that the other is lost in the count of numbers. They need to understand numbers don’t work in this game.
If this war game is played there will be no winners & the only looser will be Humanity.

    America is the strongest country in the world right now. It has the strength to destroy any country but does not have the strength to defend its own people. Bush is hence trying to wage a war with every contry in the foolish hope that no terrorist will repeat 9/11. I feel that more terrorist will created if he destroys homes & families of innocent people.
