The continued murder of Children in Khorasan and the Sindh (Pak-Afghan) by Americans, NATO and other "coalition" members - or by others anywhere - should be stopped!
It behooves the civilized world to take action to stop this impunity, and stop such bleeding.
Mind you , this leaves as "civilized world" only some of the nations of the Non-Aligned movement (it still exists, if they want it). [note: they are civilized rather in their ethical compass though less so in their civic habits :) ]
The murder of children for attending a school to study the Qur'an serves none of the stated purposes of the perpetrators, though it may serve rather sinister unstated ones. It smacks of a religious genocide here, or at best an attempt to uproot natural vectors of a religion's history and sociological trends by lethal force , by martial force, by the unconscionable instrument of war.
We should have seen by now that attempts to tinker with nature, to alter a naturally evolved path has terrible consequences. Due to our ignorance of what we're pretending to understand and presuming to alter , it disrupts the whole system and sends natural equilibria into disarray.
Those actions are not justifiable on religious grounds, because the initial effort to even closely understand the "other" (the target of hostility) has not even yet begun. It has been rejected not on lack of intellectual or spiritual merit, but on zealous prejudice, and a priori rejection.
It is an action motivated at the base by concerns of financial and ethnocultural supremacy.
I think dollar to dollar, we could calculate that erradication of religiosity in a tribal country that translates into a stemming of anti-colonial intellectual and political activity among muslims at large, or at best an altering in muslim mainstream dogma that would be more amenable to presentday neoliberal economic beleifs could ultimately translate into a few millions more dollars in increased profits for multinationals in some ideal future, decades from now.
Is this what it is then? this "war"? And since when is shooting fish in a barrel - mind you with unmanned drones, perhaps remote controlled like video games and toys - called a war? And since is war anything but heinous? And why is "terrorism" or regressivism or even fundamentalism, a war and not a crime???
We will be reminded to this date no effort has been made to capture the big kahunas of terrorism organizations.
You want to tell us, a consortium of the most powerful nation states in the world cannot go in and do a house to house sweep until all fugitives are held?
What , you can't bribe the tribes with millions of dollars and services?
You know this Laden guy is not a good man. He is neither a saint, nor a holy man nor a scholar of any authority .
I find it patently unacceotable that any of the tribes would give him shelter for so long. What would be their motivation? Sorry , traditional generosity and oath of protection of guests, just doesn't cut it today. I am not buying it.
If someone wants to be my guest and then he brings down a world war on my head, sorry but I would ask them to leave. I don't care if I were Godfearing or mother theresa . I would ask them to leave.
Hence the adage, "Something stinks". nearly quite literally, quoth the bard Shakespeare, "something stinks in denmark" . [Actually the quote "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark"]
Not to mention that the tactics of the so-called insurgents themselves are in stark violation of tribal and religious mores.
It is clear then, that either the Laden nexus is a rank illusion , or that the nexus is itself part of the bloody colonialist machinery.
I take this as the most plausible.
Meanwhile this enormous lie is used to justify the murder of children and innocents every day from the air by unmanned drones.
The depths of criminality and cowardice in the above sentence are staggering.
it therefore that we must say again:
It is necessary to save the children and to save freedom and the right to live and the right to be a poor Muslim in a dust bowl village.
