It has been 5 years since 9-11 happened. I don’t think any country is more secure than it was back then… maybe they are lil more aware of the danger that lurks…. Terrorism is all about apprehension and fear, and its true that it has achieved that upto some extent. but the results of terror activities are also zero. this is a very well known fact all over the world.
so what is there to achieve from these acts. A big NOTHING. We don’t really know how and what happens but a lot of people lose their lives in any incidence of terrorist violence anywhere whether it is the USA or India or Indonesia or Israel with the Hizbollahs. We are in a war against terrorism that is killing so many people every day.Look at Afghanistan right now, where the war was supposedly won. The Taliban is still fighting and the government can not do much to stop it. Look at Iraq and how people are still dying today. there are rumors that about Venezuela extracting uranium to be sent to Iran for enrichment. What is going on in the world? We have North Korea testing missiles, and other nations trying to get their hands on the atomic bomb. Have we learned nothing from history?
Fighting for democracy seems like a stupid thing to do when we have a very time tested and sound policy available in the world ‘ the Gandhian philosophy’. It says very clearly that you can win over your enemy with one tool which is far more potent than any nuclear weapon also--- Truth. follow the gandhian principles and I'm sure a lot can be achieved. Dialogue is always a better thing than dying. If the nations follow this philosophy, then im sure there will be everlasting peace all over.
