While scanning the newspaper yesterday,I came across this article on Kofi Annan being honoured in Copenhagen. In the dinner he said " war on terrorism is undermining the civil rights and ruining the very essence of law." ..."it is giving a victory to the terror organisations that they cannot win on their own."
Sometimes I wonder, what exactly are these organisations fighting for? To me, it seems like their way of feeling the euphoria of having power in their hands, a feeling of being omnipotent. For, if they were fighting for a real concern, they would do so in a manner that would cause least suffering to their own people ,yet make the point to the world. Over all these years of terror, have they really achieved something? They have just added on to the number of orphans, amputees, childless parents, refugees, lawlessness, unemployment, poverty..the list can go on.
Combating such a force and such principle by it's own method is just going to cause more chaos and this time, widespread. It is like throwing stones in slush,the more you throw, the dirtier you get. Yes, remaining silent audience to their deeds is not the solution, but I am sure there are more peaceful methods of uprooting them.
If a child brings worms into the house, you don't try to kill the worms in the house and in the process bring the roof down, you reprimand the child,punish him and order him to refrain from doing so. Similarly, you cannot set out to kill every member of millions of such organisation, you need to cut of the nutrient supply. The nutrition comes from a complex network among which there may be organisations from upfront countries. When such secrets come out, the concerned organisatons must be taken to task and not hidden under the carpet.
Being honest to ourselves and honest to others is the only resolve to the issue.
