Chris, will you join me to raise a toast of greatest thanks to the present US administration for being able to free Afghanistan from shackles of Talebens. Not only that for the first time in the history of that nation 75% of the population took part in the voting showing enthusiasm for freedom and pluralism. The collateral benefit of freedom and its vast impact on tentacles of terror cannot be understated. Will you also join me in accepting the doing nothing would have left Afghanistan as a sanctuary for lunatic vandals bent to destroy the predacious balance on which global peace rests?

Moreover, will you join me in accepting that policy of Clinton and his approach of washing his hands off from a dangerous sanctuary of global terrorists and leaving it to the times to decide the fate of that country was a fatal mistake, would you also with the benefit of hindsight agree that leaving that gaping big hole after USSR withdrawal from 1992 by successive administrations was shortsighted and contributed to hatching of 911 plot. Will you accept the fact that freedom of choice in electing leaderships has a direct bearing on the terrorists’ makeup of any nation, the freer the better?

Can we jointly agree and instill in ourselves pregnancy of hope that Saudi Arabia future like Afghanistan and Iraq to a terror free land can be expedited if we promote freedom of expression and help bring accountability within the kingdom as an accepted face of daily life. This is the only way that young man can go about venting their grievances instead of blowing buildings, although no moral equivalence can be drawn between venting their grievances and blowing buildings or designs of their grievances being quenched by innocent blood, but freedom of expression does help alleviate the pressures within the kettle left simmering too tightly close on a fire. We know that 'vents' help avoid big explosions, free elections in closed societies are those vents!

It does need pro-active involvement and engagement, it is however positive engagement and eradication of destructive forces of evil that brings forth ray of hope for mankind more visible. We all know that the 'sanctuaries of uncertainty' in this connected world can bring havoc on our very frail cyber economy and life. Our global village needs nice, clean neighbourhoods.Amen
