Any list of countries harboring terrorism excluding US and Israel is incomplete and will only help terrorism to succeed with a different face!

(Deepak Sarkar, 1/31/2002).

We must understand the problem to solve it correctly whether it is mathematical, economical, political or international.  Thus, the definition of terrorism and terrorists need to be established clearly for the sake of a long lasting world peace.  If we consider Newton’s Third Law of Motion - ‘Every action has an equal and opposite reaction’.  This is equally true for all US actions including Vietnam, Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, throughout South America, Middle East and Africa, and former Yugoslavia.  For ideological war or economic interests, most terrorists have been either trained in US or trained by US in some way, including many notorious world dictators!

 
It is once again unfortunate that President (Non-Democratically Elected) George Bush has started labeling countries with ancient civilization and heritage as terrorist.  This is being done at a time when the world was so close to be united against the evils of arms race, global warming, mines, guns as well as weapons of mass destruction including chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.

 

Our beautiful World had a wonderful chance after World War II for a long lasting peace!  Unfortunately, imprudent partitioning and redrawing of many Asian, African and European countries were done to satisfy long term American and British strategic interests.  The very interests of the local people, cultures, values and securities, were sacrificed for the sake of the American and British economic and military interests.

 

There is still time to begin 21st Century in a good note ensuring peace and good environment while maintaining a sustainable worldwide economy considering mutual interests of all countries.  We must not miss this wonderful opportunity by separating countries and dividing the world, in the name of a virtual enemy ‘terrorism’. 


Since its inception, Israel has been terrorizing Palestinians and Arabs armed with latest US weapons including nuclear bombs and missiles. They even destroyed USS Liberty killing 34 and wounding 171 American marines in 1967. Prime Minister Sharon himself has been charged as a war criminal who helped kill and massacre 20,000+ Lebanese and butchered thousands of Palestinians refugees including women and children. Israeli intelligence regularly conducts assassinations throughout the world.

 

Most people in the world including US and Israel are for peace and common good of mankind.  It is the self-censored commercial media which diverts world opinion labeling death and destruction as collateral damage.  

 

This is a time when our beloved world leaders must use their power and intelligence toward uniting the world and not dividing it further in the name of terrorism!
