<The never ending war in Middle East. Oil prices going up. We live in constant fear of terrorist.>
Yes in Middle East war never seems to end first for the high level of emotive politics and extreme will to throw opponents in the seas. The total inability of politicians to perceive limitations is the problem, perpetual struggle that goes nowhere is quick recipe considered to be far better than making durable peace. However that said, there will be no war in Middle East first; market fears on that accounts are highly exaggerated. The oil prices with yesterday Venezuelan situation under control and for a change moderate attitude of Iran and Libya not to side with Iraq I see a softening. The nucleus of this new intifida to intimidate and cow people to submission exactly how Osama bin Laden use to think is self-destructing.
The present struggle needs to re-configured if it has to have any chance of success, the very people they are targeting within civilians can only be conquered by love not by hate, love them and take their heart way. Non-violence, 'live and live and let others live' and demand of rights through political and constitutional struggle is the way forward, co-existence, negotiations and acceptance of ground realities is the only way. Markets are fickle, they need excuses, the cause of present sell off is more to do with bottom lines than all the pictures of tanks together, the tanks are going ot disappear soon but without profits the market would not go anywhere. It is economy but when sick people want to create a closed world by taking away our freedoms than a little pain of market movements should not be to worrying, nations have to face threat to their core ideas sometime, to very independence and freedom the espouse, if that is threatened a little volatility in the markets to get our open world back where we can travel without or with less fear and eat pizzas without thinking that we will be blown is price we should be perfectly willing to pay. Appease them, encourage them by doing nothing they will become monsters. Remember the biggest network of the terrorists grew under the close scrutiny of previous administrations, we were all busy applauding ourselves for the greatest post war expansion, little did we realise that post war expansion based on an open world model has deep enemies who can turn the table with stone age technology. Now to eradicate them need resolve and need equal enthusiasm and global leadership otherwise as Dr Tehrenian has quoted William Butler Yeats (The Norton Anthology of Poetry, p. 520) who prophesized another age of impending disaster:
Things fall apart; the Center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity. |
