| Miscarriage of US war on terrorism | | editorial | |
The fifth anniversary of, what has come to be known as 9/11, was
observed on Monday in USA and several other countries of the world. It
was on this day ie September 11, 2001 that terrorism struck USA in a
big way. Two hijacked planes belonging to USA itself, loaded with
explosives, struck at the Twin Towers, in New York, the busy business
centers of that country, killing about 400 people and leading to a
very heavy loss of property. The mighty American State took it as a
challenge, allegedly by Osama Bin Laden and his Alquaida, Islamic
fundamentalist terrorist outfit. It was on this day that USA and other
Western allies awoke up to the threat posed to the modern world by the
conservative and orthodox fundamentalist forces. As a reprisal USA
launched, what was claimed to be a decisive war on international
terrorism, with Alquaida and Taliban in Afghanistan being its fountain
heads. A man hunt was launched to capture the king pin of Alquaida,
Osama Bin Laden by the forces of US and other Western allies attacking
Afghanistan and in the process over throwing the Taliban regime there
and in its place installing a government loyal to the USA. Though USA
and its allies succeeded in uprooting and demolishing the terrorist
infrastructure and installations of Taliban and Alquida, yet the main
professed objective of either capturing Osama Bin Laden alive or
killing him nor eliminating the forces of international terrorism
could be achieved. The Alquida and Taliban. Who were on the run and
forced to lye low for sometime, have again raised their ugly heads and
are consolidating themselves. These forces of evil are penetrating
into many other Islamic fundamentalist terrorist outfits in different
parts of the world including India and mainly Jammu and Kashmir, which
has been on the hit list of terrorist from times much earlier than
9/11. Instead of concentrating and focusing all its energy and power
to capture or kill Laden and liquidate the forces of terrorism, USA
deviated from its professed path of waging a decisive was on
terrorism, under its garb it began pursuing its imperialistic designs
to have its hold over the weak countries, making these its virtual
colonies. It opened yet another front by committing aggression on Iraq
obtaining UN sanction for the same, on the plea of Iraq under Sadam
Hussain having amassed weapons of mass destruction. In the process
Sadam Hussain regime was over thrown and Sadan was taken as prisoner.
Thus by diverting its attention from the professed objective of all
out war on terrorism, enlisting the support of world as a whole for
this noble cause, particularly of the countries victims of
international terrorism, United States has not only failed in its
objective, but its ill advised actions have consolidated the splinter
terrorist forces, operating in different parts of the world, with
limited objectives of their own, slowly and gradually coming on the
single platform of war against the imperialism of USA and its Western
allies. The Islamic fundamentalism is becoming the rallying point of
these forces who lately more or less draw inspiration from Laden and
Alquida, even if they are not directly linked to them.
