Aftermath of 9/11

The Bush administration doctrine of pre-emptive strike was done because of fear of 9/11. Before they strike us, we better strike them first. Isolate a few, establish potential threat and strike. These so called terrorist are operating cell by cell but a whole nation is attacked. This doctrine which is heavyly endorsed by develop nation has not won many favours among the global community.

Doubts, divisions and defections have developed among American allies. For what has started as sympathy for the United States has turned into suspicion and, for some, even hatred. The prisons at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Gharib, the treatment of prisoners, secret prisons and rendition flights all added to this feeling. It is not a simple matter. Acknowledging and emptying the secrets camps and other coveted moves may answer a few criticism against the US but not all and their overall effect remains to be seen.

The war against Afghan, Iraq, the Palestine-Israel conflict, the growing tension against Iran – How can this American nation portray themselves as victim in the war of terror along with their allies, the UK and the Israel. How can they? When everyday we see more lives are shattered by their doings. People in Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Afghan, and Syria. Civilians just like you and I being robbed in daylight of their home, their family, their world.

This is not about the clash of civilization. This is about people’s life. Ordinary people like you and me. I hope for a better tomorrow. Where we can live peacefully and walk anywhere without fear. Without worrying that our own blood will not spill on our own soil. I know this is too optimistic but allow me to at least hope for a bright future any day anytime anywhere.
