Sorry about the late reply.. I'm not just trying to find an excuse, simply because I don't feel that I need it ...and as I said before, I don't believe any politician regardless of his country or religion... Check it out Tracy, and see who did he blame.. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/07/07/g8.main/
Just to stick with the original subject of this post, killing the innocent cannot be justified by any means....
But why is it so disturbing to lose 55 souls in London, but it's not the same to lose THOUSANDS of souls in any other place, like Boisnia, Afganistan, Iraq, Thailand, Burma,Palestine...etc?
To kill the inncocent isn't accepted anywhere, right? |

Thanks for your compliment. Within all the strife and acrimony, we do find some common ground. In all fairness, it is despicable for the western powers to exploit the weaknesses of the muslim (and other) countries. Lot of people, including many Americans, realize that. But, the major portion of the blame, must go to muslims. If the americans are able to exploit Saudis, Egyptians, Turks, Nigerians and Jordanians, it is because they are simply exploiting the weaknesses inherent in those societies. This is an age old, time honored trick perfected by imperialists for several millennia. India is a good example. Throughout her history, the greeks, mongols, turks, mughals and europeans have exploited the deep divisions in the society. It is true that two wrongs do not make it right, but India found a unique solution. Welcome the agressor and make him love the land and the people. In due course of time, he becomes one of us. But I digress. I think the solution lies in education, introspection and development. Eye for an eye sounds great, but in practice it has never worked. Should America and the west be more humane and just. Of course. If history has taught us anything, it is that justice, fairness and tolerance are good for small communities and within a country. When it comes to global politics, they have no place on the table. Sad, but that's the reality. Human Edited by human |
