SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
Come up, O lions, and shake off the delusion that you are sheep; you are souls immortal, spirits free, blest and eternal; ye are not matter, ye are not bodies; matter is your servant, not you the servant of matter.

WHEN THE WORLD BECAME INSECURE!!!

11/09/01

Its been seven years since the attack , but the memories fail to die out. No event in the modern era has hit the world so hard and strong like this. It was the day when terms like "terrorism" , "threat to freedom " were first used. It was the day when America got the moral authority to strike any "rogue" nation and to impose "freedom" on its people. It was the day when the whole world forgot their own problems and started looking at the "bigger issue". When the media around the world found an issue more sensational than the reports about daily massacre of hundreds of Palestinians.

One more thing more sensational about the attack is that though it was by far the most ruthless terrorist attack, no one in the Govt came out clear on the modus operandi. As it had to be, a number of conspiracy theories have surfaced up. They go to the extent of alleging the government's involvement in the dastardly attack . Sadly, the government has failed desperately to rebuff the allegations.

One thing most visible in the post 9/11 world is the growing dichotomy of the world - either with US or with the enemies. The enemies are coloured in religious hues as the Islamic mullahs and all the countries harbouring them . Instead of finding water for the 9/11 fire, U.S. has stoked the fire by providing more new fuel. The hatred for U.S. is rapidly growing in the minds and hearts of any rational thinker.

The sad thing in this whole state of affairs is that the whole world stands to lose. Its not clearly a U.S. war on another country because its affecting us all . The silence of NON ALIGNED countries is going against them. In the seek of pecuniary advantages from U.S. they are ignoring the rising discontent of their own masses.

Who will stop the U.S. from putting the world into graver threats ?? No country seems to come forward as of now. Surely the world has become a more insecure place. The world is in danger not from the likes of Osama Bin Laden or Fazlul Masud but from the factory who produces them - the U.S.
