An article on Backward Philosophy…

Hey all,
    I think I flunked my Maths exam today :D Lol… Chemistry tomorrow. I got extremely fuzzed out with all those organic polymers, that I thought I would just check out my blog :)

    I don’t know how many of you know about Ranya, she’s a new reader of mine, and has commented a couple of times. I drifted towards her site today, and found it quite interesting, though very popular yet :) Oh, if you havn’t guessed already, this is another post for my Race Against Racism Blogathon…

    I found one of her articles quite thought provoking. Its titled “Backward Philosohpy : A few questions“. She has asked a few very thought provoking questions. I would request each of you to read the article, and then, read the rest of my post.

What if others accused USA for the world’s safety and peaceful state?

What if others decided to stop the US production of mass desctructing weapons, and “liberate” the states?


What if others started bombing the states, murdering it’s nations, wrongly accusing innocents of terrorism and terrorist acts?

What if peaceful and lovely US homes were burned to ruins?

What if US children were left orphans on the streets with nowhere to turn to, but a dark and hopeless future?

What if safety was the new word for war and vice versa?

What if innocents were being abused, raped, heartlessly
tortured and humiliated for nothing but mere entertainment of the
hearts of hatred?

What if mothers lost their sons? And families torn apart?

What if there was no hope? And life seemed like hell itself?

What if the US resources were being controlled and managed by some military forces of these so-called others?

What if people couldn’t tell life and death apart.. anymore?

What if you were being told big lies about a liberated and freedom-filled future, bright and peaceful?

There is a saying that goes something like: Be the change
you want the world to be. Really, what does war really lead to, except
for more war? What does cruelty do except for serving the paths of more
cruelty? Ask yourself, and answer as honestly as you can, has the Iraq
war really helped for the world peace and safety? Has it, by any means,
decreased terrorism on worldly basis? Has it? I really would like to
know.

    These are the questions she has asked. I don’t agree with her though. It just isn’t fair to ask all these questions, for a lot of reasons. For one thing, USA IS the world No.1 country right now, no doubts about that. Throughout history, we can see the “survival of the fittest” rule in action. So if a country needs to survive, it needs to adopt such die-hard tactics.

    Also, what wrong have the American PEOPLE done towards Iraq? Its mainly just stupid politics by the one and only Bush… By killing innocent Americans, can a person get revenge on USA’s President? All he cares about is getting votes, and more votes, and even more votes. If American people are killed, if American mothers are childrenless, if the peaceful and lovely US homes were burned to ruins, WHAT GOOD WOULD IT DO FOR PEACE?

    Dear friends, fight not fire, with fire. Douse it with water… Ahimsa, nonviolence, is the only way for and of peace. Mahatma Gandhi, was a truly great man!

    Anyway, Tanya has done a good job with the article and has ended it off beautifully, but she needs to consider another angle as well :)

    By the way, not to make a too fine point of it, but still, she asked -

What if innocents were being abused, raped, heartlessly
tortured and humiliated for nothing but mere entertainment of the
hearts of hatred?

    Uh, aren’t they already doing that? :D :D :D

    Lol… No offence meant here to any community, these are just my views and opinions, open for criticism, or like I said before, open to be viewed at another angle. I’m quite interested in hearing your say :) So please do drop in your comments via the Comments(below each post) or privately via email. :)

    Cheers for now, and let me get on with those damned polymers :)
