Role of USA

When someone jumps into a decision without knowing the consequences, then that person or, for that matter, that nation can be likened to a fool. The stance that the US has taken to police the world is failing miserably on their faces and they are getting slapped left and right in Iraq and Afghanistan; however, their moronic attitude is really stopping them from realising that they are into slow poisoning the world and most importantly, themselves. Yes, both Afghanistan and Iraq had problems within their countries, but after the US invasion both countries have become terror zones. Whatever view one may subscribe to, the fact is, the USA is clearly disturbing world peace and, being the 1,000 pound gorilla that it is, none can challenge it and can only raise meek resentments. I am sure conscientious people live in the USA and they should now take the task to the White House and tell their President, “Enough is enough, we want peace.” There were no WMD in Iraq and someone should take the blame for it. Should it not be the USA, Bush and his team of war mongering cabinet secretaries who should be responsible for these senseless killings? People are losing lives and limbs, many soldiers are losing sanity and many children and decent citizens are maimed or snuffed out of life for the love of war, unjustified war, that Bush is raging across the globe and now planning to export to Iran, which has repeatedly said that their uranium enrichment is for peaceful purpose only. The bitter irony lies in the fact that the USA is trying to enforce nuclear non-proliferation when indeed it has WMD that can blaze away the earth 30 to 40 times over. Now, where is the sanity of thought and global conscience? The USA has become the tiger that has tasted blood and without rhyme or reason, it is exporting vengeance and creating counter vengeance. Both are wrong and deadly, but the instigator (USA) is wearing the mask of justice and democracy while eating away at the vitals of human harmony, democracy and peace. The truth could not be further now from the United States of America, which has been coining new schemes to enter into Iran and trying to get international support. France, with its new boss, is also singing similar songs, not knowing the monumental catastrophe that it is helping to brew. The imbecilic decision of the USA can bring in global chaos and countries like Bangladesh will get seriously burnt if such baneful actions of unlawfully trying to contain Iran are initiated. Let us not allow the USA to spread its cock-and-bull stories again in the world arena. Let us muster enough courage to put sanctions against this raving mad country called the United States of America that once used to be the epitome of democracy. With increased globalisation, leadership in the USA should also be globalised, meaning people from poorer countries should at least have 15-20% vote on who gets to become the President or an important person of the United States. If the USA keeps on disturbing world harmony or killing innocent people on the pretext of containing terrorism, then the world has the moral right to protect themselves by ensuring that a sane leader with moral conscience is at the helm of affairs in the USA!
