Are we there yet?
"Are we there Yet?".. i remember when i was really young and travelling to any new place .. by walk.. bus.. bike.. whatever... the question never changed... the anticipation of getting to a place always got the better of me.. and i kept asking that question to the point where everybody else would just want me to shut up :D!!
and thinking of another imminent world war sure has me asking the same quetsion...
maybe its a passing feeling.. or am i being overtly paranoid...?? but reading the news sure gives me the notion that "something's gottta give".. but again these are those times when i wish, not to be correct...
On one end we have the War on Terrorism being waged by the US.... has already left its mark on Afghanistan... us leaving a terrible footprint in Iraq.. and Iran next in its cross-hairs... then theres North Korea as always upto its school bully tactis .. arm twisting to say the least... and to top it all the Middle eastern conflict with Israelis and Palestinians having a go at it again... why cant they ever agree on one thing... after all each man to his own ... alas. so goes the story...
the world over theres another prevalent problem, terrorists.Today's terrorists operate globally, they often raise funds in one country, plan in another, and conduct operations in a third -- all the while communicating, recruiting, and traveling across borders. No one nation can defeat this multinational threat alone. So lets say more or less almost every possible nation is involved in a war in one way or the other.
Yes we do forget the lesser known but severe turmoils in the African continet, with Uganda, Ivory coastr,Ethiopia and a long list of other regions all in a state of half war- half uprising. The military opression in Burma,
If we read beyond page three we will know that theres rampant human rights violation and going on in China, former Russia, Cuba, Africa and our own India.
... To be COntinued....(Scenario change aftr lebanon's intervention... updates to follow..)
