Thoughts in My Head

The Bush administration doctrine of pre-emptive strike was done because of fear
of 9/11. Before they strike us, we better strike them first. Isolate a few, establish potential threat and strike. These so called terrorist are
operating cell by cell but a whole nation is attacked. This doctrine which is heavyly endorsed by develop nation has not won many favours among the global community.

Doubts, divisions and defections have developed among
American allies. For what has started as sympathy for the United States has
turned into suspicion and, for some, even hatred. The prisons at Guantanamo Bay
and Abu Gharib, the treatment of prisoners, secret prisons and rendition
flights all added to this feeling. It is not a simple matter. Acknowledging and emptying the
secrets camps and other coveted moves may answer a few criticism against the US
but not all and their overall effect remains to be seen.

The war against Afghan, Iraq, the Palestine-Israel conflict,
the growing tension against Iran – How can this American nation portray
themselves as victim in the war of terror along with their allies, the UK and
the Israel. How can they? When everyday we see more lives are shattered by their doings. People
in Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Afghan, and Syria. Civilians just like you and I
being robbed in daylight of their home, their family, their world.

This is not about the clash of civilization. This is
about people’s life. Ordinary people like you and me. I hope for a better
tomorrow. Where we can live peacefully and walk anywhere without fear. Without
worrying that our own blood will not spill on our own soil. I know this is too optimistic but allow me to at least
hope for a bright future any day anytime anywhere.
