stop the blame game
by Amit Shesh on Aug 19, 2006 08:19 PM

US and UK point towards terrorism as their reason for attacking, and people like this author blame "root causes". I think we have all reached a point where no one party can be solely blamed anymore.

If US and UK were such noble countries sincere towards terrorism, why is their history replete with support to dictators and regime changes? Osama is a product of CIA training of Mujahideen against the Russians, how can anybody forget that?

If root causes are indeed so noble, why this sweeping hatred towards all Westerners, Zionists & Hindus? How can one justify killing and atrocities as a valid response to the same kind of atrocities?? What should we do, try to negotiate with terrorists who declare outright that destruction of entire countries is the reason for their existence? There may be some cases of Indian Muslims being recruited by Al Qaeda, but surely the author cannot equate it to entire movements in his country and other Muslim countries! If so many Indian Muslims overwhelmingly choose not to go that way, all this violence cannot really be justified by religion. The fault solely lies with those who choose to get brainwashed by false alliances with religion.
