The events of 11th Sept and post events after that have resulted in far reaching extensive repercussions for mankind. Since 11th of Sept I have released that we cannot create or afford uneven geographical pockets of poverty, the world is not insulated against someone who is fanatical to destroy the precarious balance in human relationships that since Adam eve is based on mutual respect of life. Once that respect is tripped new lows of action is the result. Undoubtedly foregoing is a very heavy menu but it hinges on imposing responsibilities on states to encourage regional interaction and discourage those ‘luxurious rich deranged minds’ like Osama and his cohorts from the rich Arab societies who after getting bored from money decide that ‘call of Allah’ demands that they should overturn their own repressive regimes but to do that they hide behind the weakest of the nations, the people in these poor nations like Afghanistan become mental slaves to these ‘Arabs’ who write in Arabic the most repressive of acts that are against the teachings of Quran but have significant meaning, if you add with charisma of language the long beard, the five times of prayers, the bead and call of one Islamic nation, you create an evil leader, the leader with the explosive mix of ideological Puritanism is than ready to act for crimes against humanity, like nazism all form of extremism should be declared an act against humanity by the civilized world. The oil rich nations has an important role for their own survival to be active in this cleansing process of radicals but they also need to eradicate the cause of all this, the extreme poverty in their own nations and in their region need to addressed. That inequality is the breeding ground for these anti human networks although combined with democracy and freedom that they can find in the west. These cells flourish to their maturity. That streak of ‘narcissism of thought’ and ‘self assumed connection with God’ produces human right violations that have very rare precedents in the annals of human history. Now if this brain washing continues more vacuums will develop unless we cure the cause, the cure is education, proper health and providing hope to millions. The proxy wars of super powers and invasion of USSR in Afghanistan left a geographical vacuum that provided abundant room to ‘deranged of the world’ to conspire the way they wanted. This war to change minds is the real battle, now one can argue that it is no one’s business what happens in the east but left unchallenged these virulent strains can grow to control oil, or the weapons of mass destruction and in this open world we will be stranded in a blackmail attempt that will lead clashes that will be truly not of cultures but of forces of darkness and forces of progress. The people who should be responsible by the global community to mend the affairs are the oil rich nations of the region, this war against terrorism should be funded by them, as one should not forget its Arab extremists roots and its target of Arab regimes. In present world US global or economic overreach demands that it cannot sleep or stay in isolation or be unconcerned with what happens to global resource rich areas of the world. It is the choice we need to make do we want an open world and greater development prospects or a closed world where the interests are divided along north-south hemispheric divisions, in the case of later we do get some breathing space from terrorism, but the present form of open economic model will be the first victim in short- medium term, in case we go for the former that of continued embracing of open world and open economy that would unfortunately entail some huge responsibility, that may include outposts and kind of economic overreach where US may create some success models with the help of richer states in the region some form of balance in the present basket case nations that provide the canon fodder or grounds of future harvest for terrorists. Pakistan's action yesterday have now started a snowball effect in the Islamic world to arrest this perpetual decline to disasters. Undoubtedly, India has played a major role in catalyzing this action, I would think that India should now make sure to build on this advantage and should not press this too hard, cornering Pakistan at this juncture after all these concessions may result in counter productive under currents that may undermine this newly enlisted liberal setup. I think it is a good move forward to pacify the radical element in East. Hamas and other extremists are now on a short leash, if this can happen in Pakistan why can't in some time Arafat follow suit. On the other hand one should not forget that banning these extremists in terms of reciprocal would mean outlawing KKK, or National Front of Jean Marie Le Pen or banning IRA or British National party. Democracy and freedom of action prevents west to do just that, in Pakistan lack of democracy in one way was conducive to eliminate root cancers.
