In today’s world people fight with their neighboring countries, their neighboring states and cities. People wage wars on trivial issues like land. If you want to wage a war wage it against drugs, wage it against pollution, wage a war against cancer, and wage a war to stop all meaningless wars.
In my lifetime I have seen the Israel-Palestine war, the India Pakistan war, the iraq war, the lankan conflict, not to forget the afghan war, the gulf war and the nam. Many of these wars are trivial to the point where some stupid trigger happy bloke decided today let me sacrifice a few hundred lives. If only the vanity could be seen by our dear politicians.
There is a sensitive topic of war against terrorism. You have to understand that a war against terrorism will only instigate more wars. The terrorists will be infuriated they will attack someone; we will attack them in retaliation. This will be a nonstop ping pong game until the hand playing it gets tired. As one man aptly put it “An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.”
So should we not fight terrorism? No, we should, we should fight it with humanity, with compassion, with education and awareness. If you actually understand the motives behind these terrorists, most of them feel they are heroes giving lives and taking lives for a cause much greater than themselves.
We need to educate people to what terrorists are, and how they destroy the fabric of the society. They are not heroes but fools. If we can achieve this we would have won the war.Wars like these which test your humanity and patience are always more difficult to fight.
"In Life we can either win or lose, there is no such thing as participation."
