SADDAM EXECUTED...............
The biggest news to hit the media, .....coming at the fag end of the year...So we are entering the new year on a happy note...Bidding goodbye to the terror called 'Saddam' that once was....Finally....THE END......
Or, is it just the beginning???
Now what exactly was it that provoked Bush to such an extent that he had to declare a war on Iraq...Brazenly defying the so called 'international' organization called the United Nations...the Preamble of which, in the very first line says 'WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED.............to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind'..
No, of course this was not just another war...This was a 'war against terrorism'...an aftermath of 9/11....a tirade against the 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'.......a means to reach the 'Al Queda'.....a way to save the people from the 'brutal' regime of Saddam and bring about democracy in Iraq.....or was it the oil reserves???
but above all it was a mere excuse to vent out the intense rancor of Bush against the Saddam regime which was fueled by the Senior Bush during the Gulf war of 1991...
War against Terrorism! The Bush thinks Iraq was promoting terrorists and hence attacked the country?? He might as well....the war has certainly resulted in the creation of thousands of terrorists in the country now....making it a perfect example of 'self fulfilling prophecy' as coined by Robert Merton....
Its been more three years since the war broke out in 2003 and the number of war victims is only showing signs of increasing further and further....and further.....God knows when all the destruction would come to an end....Whether or not Iraq manages to become a democracy,
one thing is certain..that Bush is going to see his last days as President of the USA.....
THE MAHAJANS....
Back in the Indian Homeland far far away from the Bush Drama...the Mahajan family has been enacting a drama of their own....Younger brother kills elder brother....Dead man's secretary dies in mysterious circumstances....Son is a drug addict and almost kills himself.....Newly married son is charged for wife beating....Phew!! What next?? A complete family entertainer, this was!!!
One thing the whole issue brings about is that every man lives ultimately for himself... Relations, family, love, attachment, emotions all these things mean nothing when it comes to the promotion of the 'Self'....These terms are mere bookish stuff...or movie material....Such things dont really mean anything in today's world, do they?? Everything in life has just become a struggle for money and power...As I was thinking over what the world was coming to, I noticed my maid servant bringing her 9-10 yr old grandson to my house one day...I gave a few biscuits to the kid and instead of eating them he keeps them in his pocket...Upon asking the reason he says he has a younger brother at home and he doesnt eat anything without sharing it with him! I was filled with emotions on hearing this.....So was there still some hope left in this world?? where Siblings would share and care and be at peace with each other? But then he was just an innocent kid..What does he know about the evils of the world? When he grows up, he too will realize the power of money and the money in power.....and every other evil existing.....If only the innocence of a kid is retained throughout adult life as well.........The world would be so much better a place to live in.....
