Another big mistake

Executing Saddam Hussein is undoubtedly another big mistake in series of wrong. Not that this blogger has any liking for Saddam Hussein- a dictator who was responsible for many deaths and misery. He exacerbated the division between the shias and sunnis, the Kurds and Arabs. The mistake in executing Saddam Hussein being it was done under occupation army, by what is described as Kangaroo court. It also brings into context the efficacy of Death penalty, brutal and uncivilised way of punishment. This murder will definitely give incentive for extreme elements among muslims, although this may not have much to do with Islam or threat to that religion. This is where the role of mischievous media and communal politicians who will try to stoke hatred for personal gain, at national level and international level, need be questioned. Even in a by-election in small town in kerala recently they made Saddam a poll issue (??!!!!), the extent to which scoundrels can go. It is a different matter that people rejected this nonsense. Some very clever section will definitely try using this opportunity to instigate common people (muslims in this context) to ‘fight’, wherein they like most people have immediate problem of price rise or corruption, unemployment and so on. There is an attempt to ghettoize people and usurp their angst for gain in certain elite section. ‘Muslims’ are easy target in this context. It’s an old ploy.

The brutal events unfolding in Iraq for last few years is about American global interests and in this case it has to do with oil and other ‘strategic gain’ in this region- the reason why Saddam was targeted although there never was any dearth of dictators or ‘leaders’ who have committed mass murder in past or present. These unilateral actions by USA undermining all international laws and opinion in past and present are definitely leading to a more unstable world. It also needs to be reiterated that Americans particularly Bush is very much responsible for killing many innocent people, much more than Saddam. How is that going to be accounted?. Bush administration has to take the responsibility of these killings. Bush is a war criminal. There never was any doubt about this. He and his cronies attacked a country for their personal gain in the name of ‘war on terror’ and WMDs, it is very much documented. He cannot escape acting as a savior by executing a dictator. Bush is responsible for this mess. Americans for electing this foolish fellow to head them are also responsible. Marketers who have created a system and completely sedated this society to look for selfish reason- gain, profit, and celebrate morons and their attics in the name of freedom of expression and sidelining significant matters are very much responsible. This ‘american way of life’ is where the threat is, the hedonistic and blatant consumerism is root of all this. At certain level we can say Bush was just trying to satiate the ‘demands’ of a very greedy society.

How about protesting by boycotting coca cola-pepsi and also stop them exploiting our water resource?. If people want to protest this is very tangible American target and very much beneficial to society where the government are sold out. Any takers???. If ‘muslims’ want to protest they need to target these products which is very much based on misery of people. This will also be symbolic gesture against greed based ‘american way of life’. Something needs to be done about this they cannot go on like this.
