From Cave to White House, Leaders Always Hide When Our Young Fight Wars Destructing Own Kind and Environment

(Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)

President Bush was correct in his speech on the Pearl Harbor Day and before invasion of Iraq in 2003 that leaders, whether the commander of chief of the most powerful nation or the spoke person of a fragile extremist group or the President of a weaker sovereign nation, always hide in shelters when young soldiers fight on the front in the middle of death and destruction.

Wars, irrespective of labels, cause destruction of innocent lives and civilization, confusing and terrifying all living animals in the affected part of this beautiful world. It is the race for military supremacy which has been contributing to additional Green House Gases making USA the worst polluter on planet Earth. Aggressive Military actions that lead to massive global pollution can certainly be equated to environmental terrorism. Ironically, 9/11 gave USA-Britain-Israel unconditional and unlimited military build ups authority and pre-emptive actions worldwide without a simple honest truth bearing investigation – insulting the very notion of rule-of-law and proof-of-conviction.

We can give our soldiers all kinds of technology, make them the ultimate killing machines in the front lines, but they are still frightened about the uncertainty, death and destruction around their dug holes, or sorties above.

Most people on this planet just want to go ahead with their daily life in peace and harmony maintaining rich culture and diversity. They believe that most conflict can be resolved with honest and sincere diplomacy. Military strategic interests and security only leading us to live in racist hegemonistic world dominated by supremacists.

It is easy to demonize someone for political gain and spend billions of dollars to divert world attention in justifying use of military might. But wars, in any form, beget future war keeping hatred and vengeance alive in the mind of the surviving friend and family of the victims.

Thus, it is time that world leaders work through the United Nations and the International Court of Justice to resolve conflicts punishing all violators of peace and human rights, as appropriate, without bias.

Let love, mercy and mutual understanding be the tool for the 21^st century world diplomacy. Let us believe that international conflicts minus super power strategic interest results in peaceful coexistence!

The universal equation of peace is:

International conflicts - Super power strategic interests = Lasting peaceful coexistence!
