A World... So Different

Mr President have a habit of dropping bombs in the middle east and nearby places. why ?? Because Mr President think he has the right to kill the people who does not live in air conditioned homes, neither drive fancy cars, nor wear designer clothes, their only crime is they live on a land which produces humongous amount of oil.

They call the man sitting in the white house the BIG BROTHER of the world, He kills numerous civilians trying to destroy the WMD that are "SUPPOSED" to be developed by another similar character named Saddam Hussien. Result of this, Iraq is in complete chaos, people die everyday, He killed saddam and hundreds of thousands of iraqis but found no WMD.

A militant rebel group kidnaps two well armed soldiers across the border and the whole world is up in arms. The same army to which those kidnapped soldiers belonged to, have been killing civilians for decades and the world ignores!!
Invading soldiers are guilty of raping an innocent iraqi girl and killing her whole family and the world ignores !!
Israeli soldiers die in a combat and every single news paper print their names and the world mourns, the same israeli army kills 10 members of a family most of which were children and the world ignores !! PREPOSTEROUS isin't it ?

I ask why is the life of a ten year old palestinian kid less important than an israeli or an american ? Not everyone denies holocaust, not everyone is anti semite, holocaust is and will remain one of the worst crimes but does this give the zionists the right to kill palestinians and lebanese, keep them in prisons away from their loved ones as long as possible, does it give them the excuse to kill kids throwing stones at their military tankers ?

Why is the world so indifferent to these crimes ? why no one says anything about the men being kept in the guantanamo bay detention camp for more than 5 years without being charged for anything, why are they being denied the basic human right to challenge their illegitimate detention, where the hell is the world now which starts crying for the smallest possible animal rights issue ?

Why doesn't the world mourns the death hundreds of innocent kids in afghan, in iraq ? Why not light a candle for them, remember those unknown names and faces. Why their death is justified as the consequence of war ?

What did Kofi Annan do and what is Ban Ki Moon going to do ? Mere puppets in the hands of goverment of United States, Can we now not question the very existence of United Nations ?
I applaud the american voters for showing the doors to these war mongering republicans in the mid-term polls and hope they are thrown out of the office in the next presidential election, but is it going to change the attitude of White House towards palestenians, iraqis, will they stop killing for their own gains ?

Killing innocent people cannot be justified whether the bomb is dropped on WTC in NY or if its dropped on kids playing on the beach in palestine. Murder cannot be justfied as war.

Now I sit alone and think there are two kinds of world around me, one where there is death, chaos, poverty, tears, and plenty of oil and another one with tall sophisticated buildings, Ferraris, Mc Donalds and Burger Kings.

I think about the choices the life has given me, whether to voice my concerns about those innocent people dying everyday, where mothers are scared to let their children go away from home because they not sure if they will ever return, where kids have forgotten to play, to laugh, forgotten to be like kids.
Or like the most of the world I sit here in the comfy of my air conditioned room with a laptop and some cool music playing and ignore the other side of the world which is so different from mine. Ignore their misery, thier sufferings. To me just like almost everyone the *latter* choice looks very easy to make. May be i might feel guilty for some time, but then I forget about the whole thing and continue to live my life.

All I can say is I do feel sad for the people who lost their loved ones in WTC attack, I mourn the death of people who lost their lives during 7/7 bombing, but unlike many in the ignorant world I also cry over the death of hundreds and thousands of innocent palestinians, lebanese, afghanis killed by the illegitimate invading armies, I shed a tear for iraqis killed every day for the benifit of few politicians, for oil , in the name of creating a democracy. These are just my sorrows, just my feelings which are going to change nothing in this world, but I still cry.

I wish I could ask Mr President if he made this world a safer place to live in or he created more chaos, caused more deaths, more widows and more orphans ? I want to ask him if he gets sleep at night, does he not hear the cries of those killed on his orders, does he not hear the screams of those women whose husbands and childern he killed.

I wish I could put some sense into the people from both sides, tell them nobody wins in a war ...... everyone loses !! Why don't they understand there is nothing impressive about death, there is no justification in killing innocent people from any part of the world.

Some say that *MIGHT IS RIGHT*, I wonder if it is true.

Hopefully one morning I will wake up to safer and a much happier world, a world without sufferings, world with full of laughter of kids, elderly men and women sitting and sipping coffee and cherishing their memories. A world in which we all would be able to appreciate LIFE, the beauty and wonder of nature.
