What about your own mess, Mr. Bush?

In the article by VOA news, http://www.voanews.com/english/2008-08-16-voa1.cfm, the great Mr. Bush of the US of A states this, and I quote,

In his weekly Saturday radio address released Friday, Mr. Bush called Russia's invasion of Georgia "completely unacceptable."

Well, what can you do but laugh at such outrageous comments about someone else's mess when their own courtyard is full of mud and vomit, when they themselves have not fulfilled the promise of rebuilding Afghanistan, vacating Iraq gradually (its been more than 4 years now, you know)?

Maybe the US doesn't think so, but it is time they changed the way they think. The dirty tactics used CIA and FBI (and while we are on this cliche issue, all the Intelligence agencies of the world) and start thinking in terms of building peace measures.

And please stop using the excuse that "terrorism" doesn't believe in peace. India has been a victim of terrorism for more than 3 decades now, far longer than America. We have seen more soldiers killed on our borders just defending our country. There have been more terrorist attacks on India and more people have been killed than all the western countries put together.

And yet, India has never thought about invading other country even when we have proof that the country was responsible for the attack. Yet, I believe, our Intelligence agencies and government (no matter which one) thinks about strengthening ties with that country.

India has always believed in peace. The Indian Prime Minister yesterday expressed regret and grief about Pakistan's role in Kabul's embassy bombings. Never anger, or intent to harm the country, or its citizens. India has always believed in peace and dialogue, even in the time of greatest of crisis (think of British colonialism and India's peaceful non-cooperation movement).

I think the GREAT US of A should learn something from India. I think it is time that our great epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata, are made available from publicly and easily, not to spread Hinduism, mind you. Not at all. But to spread the great message of peace that these two epics convey.

Today, on the 61st Indian Independence Day, I feel proud and honoured to be born in this country. And if I ever have to reborn on this Earth, I would ask God to make me again, an INDIAN!

Jai Hind!
