War againt poverty, not against terrorism
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 30-03-02 AT 08:26 AM (GMT)]Nobody answered my question so far, but I can give you the answer: impossible!!
GarryB, Nazi’s and terrorists, those are the bad guys. You see how simplistic western media is? Killing twenty civilians is cruel, bad, inhuman. But does it matter if it comes from a Hamas-suicide-bomber or from an IDF AH-64 armed with TOW’s? Only the latter can be referred as ‘collateral damage’, while the terrorist act will be seen as … terrorism.
It looks like Sharon can finally realise his ‘lebensraum’ : the destruction of the Palestinian authority and the Israeli monopoly again over Jerusalem. Arafat is now an enemy, well he’s not seen as an enemy in most of the western states.
Sharon should do this.
1. If Arafat is a terrorist, than he must give the evidence and he can show it to the big public. This gives Sharon now the right to kill Arafat.
2. Arafat is not a terrorist. Leave the Palestinians alone and get out of their territories for good, with all the settlements ASAP!
The UN-security council is just laughable, an instrument of the cold war but has no use anymore, unless they change policies and nations like India, Iran can also join the council. 1 billion people in India are not represented (more than Europe and US topgether), while France or the UK are full-time members. How can one expect them to create peace if the US uses its VETO all the time. The veto is something dangerous, because this has NOTHING to do with human rights, just about lousy politics.
“The world are getting tired of this bull****.”
Indeed we are getting tired of it. Always here the same over and over again, peace, war, peace, war … The US can’t solve the problem, nor can the EU or even the UN. The only ones who can stop the fighting (I don’t call it terrorism, because not all PA freedom fighters are terrorists) are the Israeli’s and the Palestinians themselves. Well, if they can’t, both states have failed, and anarchy will win from democracy (democracy with the small d, now with the big D).
One last comment: for all of the people who still think the world has stopped after the 11th september, well it hasn’t! War on terrorism is not our first priority anymore. It’s the war on poverty we have to cope with, which creates terrorism. The Palestinians are not fighting because they are anti-semitic, they just fight back because they see how richness has been divided the past years, but none of it got to them. FIRST PRIORIRTY IS WAR ON POVERTY!
