The War of USA

22:26 | TOPICS I was thinking about the topic that I would write on today;but, so far none has crossed my mind.I don't know what to do.How do I write without something concrete in my mind?Just kidding,I intend to write on a topic which has gone out of fashion recently,especially after the swearing in of Barrack Obama - Uncle Sam bashing.Poor George W.Bush - one feels for him even though he doesn't do the same and never did anyway for anybody - had to bear the brunt of all sorts of sarcasm,ridicule,satire,comments and what not.Just for the sake of his level of governance or the lack of it. The first scene that comes to mind is 'MY PET GOAT' - HE WAS LISTENING TO AND WENT ON LISTENING to the rhyme even after he was informed about the attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center.We all remember the expression on his face,courtesy TV channels. Next comes his funny,perhaps hilarious theories and speeches on terrorists.He,with his sidekick Blair,invented the WMDs and dethroned Saddam Hussein.Iraq was a peaceful country,well as peaceful as others in the Gulf.Many are ruled by despots.Saddam was one of them. It may appear that Junior Bush was trying to finish his father's unfinished agenda - the removal of Saddam which wasn't done in 1991 Gulf War.Whatever be the reason,he ,like many of his predecessors,chose to send in US troops to Iraq.The result is for us to see - no WMDs were found,Mr.Sidekick Tony Blair lost his job,the US lost hundreds of soldiers and are fighting an increasingly losing war that seems to go on and on.Finally,Mr.Obama is trying to negotiate a face-saving withdrawal within a year. The legacy of the cold war continues to haunt the US.Its foreign policy - of attacking certain countries - overtly or covertly, has cost it and will continue to cost it and those countries which are attacked.The CIA and its counterpart in some other countries,is ruining world peace.As a result,thousands of innocent lives are being lost.Can anyone forget how the US armed the Anti-Soviet mujahadeen in Pakistan during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan?Its effect is being felt even now.Many other proxy wars were fought in some countries of Africa and Central America,to remove communist governments.The list is endless.The UN is a stooge.It can do nothing. One knows what needs to be done but not how to go about it.All one can do is pray to the Almighty.Amen.
