This one is a couple of months old….
We call ourselves civilized society and it is becoming a
trend and very sad indeed that we continue to kill people without a trail, even if he
happened to be the most notorious dictator responsible for genocide and
oppression. We live in a world which is a little off its rocker.
What is the
difference between Muammar Gaddafi, Osama Bin Laden and the rest of the so
called civilised world involved in this war against terror and autocracy, if we
just repeat the same shit.
I fail to understand the joy in killing and making a
spectacle of it, I fail to understand the rest of the world society which turns
a blind eye to it. We have been told that wars are fought for peace (how
oxymoronic); all we read about is collateral damage and exodus. We are not
civilized; we have just shifted our not so civil activities to god forsaken
countries. We support the dictators and autocrats when it suits and remove them
when they become more of a liability. That is the same reason for letting the
Chinese and Saudi government to continue to rule. Is economic motive the end
all, to all our problems and needs?
If we are truly
proclaiming democracy, we should stop trading with China and stop buying oil
from 90% of OPECs. We are not ready to do it and more importantly cannot do it.
This is getting really contorted. I know and understand that a lot of things we
do is not simple and linear. But all I wish for is that deceit and denial was
not a part of the non-linear pattern of our thinking process. I am happy that
India is holding trail for Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab. That is the only way
forward. We live in a society and have the system of law and democracy for a
reason. The end of this long drawn process might still be the noose for Mohammed
Ajmal Amir Kasab. It is still better and more humane than lynching and making a
spectacle of it. Our country is not perfect we are taking our first baby steps
in the right direction.
It is not simple and
naive faith in the system. It is just that the only difference between us and
the oppressed is this system, which we simply over look when it becomes
inconvenient. We are the result of 40
million years of evolutionary success and it is time we start behaving the
part.
