Exposure of injustice and hypocrisy

There was a movie that storied about a man who carried a gun and always threatened everyone by it. Once, while he was trying to escape from the police, he captured a lady and pointed his ‘gun’ to her neck. The horrified police officer shot him down before he could act something by that gun. But as soon as the police officer reached the terrorist, he began to cry, as he knew that the man was carrying nothing but a ‘plastic gun’.

We heard a similar cry in Iraq from the occupation forces not out of regret but for help. Don’t question why they asked for help, as they did not need it before invading Iraq . They are toiling last 5 months to find something as WMD in the hands of former regime of Saddam to justify the war. They could not find even a smoke yet. A country that always posed ‘serious’ threats to its neighbors could not gain even a N-bomb? Doesn’t it surprise you? What was the main reason for invading Iraq ? WMD, it was heard in white house and UN Security Council. After liberating Iraq , Bush gave a speech in his country that Saddam and his WMD were no more threat for his country. Did he know it before? You have to be suspicious about it. The outburst in the white house after David Kay’s report that Iraq was not posing any immediate threat of WMD says it all. That might be the reason why occupation forces dared to attack Saddam without any help of other countries.

It’s North Korea ’s turn now. One of the ‘axis of evil’. Pyongyang is just not like Baghdad . It declared that it possessed WMD. According to South Korea and Japan whatever weapons, N-Korea has, are serious threat to them. The Stalinist state is not fretful on any warnings given by US defence secretary and US govt. Pyongyang not bothered by the ‘old man’. Keeping WMD is a ‘crime’ that would oblige you to give accounts for IAEA, if not you will have to face consequences. Why N-Korea is not showing any panic even if US is trying its level best to intimidate them? Courage, what is it if it was not courage? N-Korea has nothing to loose in the battle and knows better than anyone that US will not attack any country that is not enriched by oil or any other source that can be transformed to dollars. Poverty and unemployment are dominating in the communist regime. But still they are ready for a war with US. In this regard, no body even US itself, does not know what N-Korea really has to show the world. Doesn't it surprise you? Yes it should astonish you at least,if not be faint..

IAEA is the main frame of UN Security Council to investigate about the countries that obtained WMD. It doesn’t have to act under anyone’s pressure except UN. But the recent events related to its scrutinizing in Iran are telling some other story about it. It is obvious now that US is behind stressing Iran to open its door for IAEA. Iran has to comply with UN arm inspectors as it had signed in the non-proliferation treaty. Israel is the only country in Middle East that did not sign in the treaty that doesn’t allow any country to keep or possess nuclear weapons. Why should IAEA go only behind Iran ? Just because it has signed the treaty? Why cannot go to Israel for inspection and threaten them to face ‘severe’ consequences for not signing in? The reason, US are not forcing IAEA to go to Israel . Israel can kill Palestinians even their leader who stood for the free state of Palestinians since years. US are beside Israel to veto any resolution that does not let Israel to slaughter Palestinians. Doesn't it surprise you thinking why the super power is madly fell in love with the Jewish state? The reason is America wants to keep Israel overpowering all Arab countries in the Middle East . A society that struggle to get their rights to live on their own homeland is branded as terrorists and the state that violates all human rights considered as to be protected. US is like a mother of a bad child who wants to secure her baby from every crime he committed. Can you expect such country will move this world in peace? And they will be implementing the ‘road map’? Never.

America does not give value for lives of Arabs. Since the attack on WTC America is acting like it is their duty to teach a lesson to Arabs. Unfortunately the attackers were all Arab Muslims. That’s what might be making them to paint all Arabs with same brush of ‘terrorism’. Bin Laden, the US trained militant was widely used in the Afghan war against USSR . But Laden is on the top of most wanted terrorists’ list. Still US is not ready to learn a lesson from its crimes and stand with genuine efforts to solve the Middle East conflicts between Arabs and Jews. Otherwise the region will never accomplish its quest for peace as well as in the rest of the world.

It was a dream for Bush to take control of oil supplies around the world. It was not possible until he could not topple Saddam. Lion part of the oil supply of World is coming from Iraq ’s oil fields after Saudi Arabia and it’s the second nation on the list of oil enriched countries. Pentagon will get their entire spent amount just from the revenues of Iraqi oil if they stay there few years. What a big deal for Americans! They got Iraq under control by Iraq ’s own expenses. The first 4billion$ of the Iraqi oil revenue is vanished with no account. The ‘great’ USA lack not only wise but morality to act with truth. It can never succeed in conquering the hearts and minds of the entire region if White House is not ready to correct its mistakes and open its eyes.
