Its Time To Re-Evaluate Terrorism! Its Time To Make This World Safer and Friendlier!! (Deepak Sarkar, 9/25/2002)

 

While we all mourn the death of 3000 on 9/11, 10,000 from war in Afghanistan, 500,000 Iraqi babies from US/UN sanction, 4000 Panamanians, 1600 Palestinians and 593 Israelis, as well as numerous terror related loss around the world, it is time to re-evaluate terrorism and determine how foreign policy blunders and insensitiveness toward other cultures can contribute to more of it - instead of making this world a better and safer place for all..

 

The First question must be asked why people are angry and why educated people with friends and family volunteers for suicide missions and terrorist activities around the world, ESPECIALLY against America and Israel ???

 

It is time that G8 nations, specially US, doesn't take sides to add fuel to the fiery world disputes, most of which can be resolved with honest generous diplomacy, quickly and

decisively. Depriving people from democracy killing their democratically elected leader(s) and re-instating dictators only help creating fundamentalists and terrorists.

It is to be noted that famous world leaders including Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King were once labeled as terrorists.

 

Most people in the world - Christians, Hindu, Muslims, Jews, Buddhist and others, are very peaceful, honest, loving and friendly, and generally doesn't or cannot protest against Super Power terrorism using stealths and missiles.

 

Killing Osama Bin Laden, destroying Al-Quida, Taaliban and Saddam Hussain, do not address the effect of US oil politics using dictators and bribing Israelis and Egyptians. So, it is time to end all middle-east conflicts rewarding Arab Nations for their contribution to world economy ensuring steady oil supply throughout the world.

 

It is time to convert our enemies to friends - from Afghanistan to Chile and Bosnia to Palestine. People of most countries which are labeled as terrorists have been starving for Western love and cooperation AND NOT bombs, missiles and merciless destruction.

 

Violence begets violence; death and destruction using missiles and sorties are no deterrent to anger and hopelessness due to years of neglect and discrimination. Only love and sense of equity can convert all hatred into love and friendliness.
