They’ve overrun Iraq, Afghanistan… no one knows who’s next
A
fter the 9/11 tragedy there emerged widespread fear and paranoia in the United States and the Bush administration exploited it fully to perpetuate its rule. Taking advantage of that paranoia that was essentially created by the mass media, President Bush took the decision to invade Iraq – on the pretext that Saddam Hussein was harbouring weapons of mass destruction – and Afghanistan, to brow-beat the Taliban and capture or kill Osama bin Laden and the top hierarchy of al-Qaeda.
The Bush administration also took a tough stance towards Pakistan and reportedly threatened it with dire consequences if it did not side with the US in the so called "war on terror" and forego its allegiance to the Taliban. Now the US has indicated that it might withdraw its forces from Iraq and send more forces to Afghanistan, where it is fighting a loosing war. It has also hinted that it is interested in resolving regional conflicts, including the Kashmir issue, which is a positive sign.
No wonder India has started lobbying with the new US government and has sent a delegation there. However, India is not in a position to pressurise the United States at the moment, but it feels threatened by escalation of tension on Pakistan-Afghan borders, especially by the hyper activity of International Assistance Security Forces (ISAF)-operated drones that are ostensibly targeting al-Qaeda and the Taliban, but in fact are also killing innocent civilians, including women and children. India perceives that the conflict in the area was a threat to the entire region, and I think this is a positive perception.
I think regional powers such as India and China can play a vital role in bringing regional peace and stability. I also think that Kashmir and Afghanistan issues should be solved through peaceful means and any move in this direction, whether it is from the US President-elect Barack Obama or any other country should be welcomed.
However, I want to make it clear that the "war on terror" is not aimed at eliminating terrorism. On the contrary, it gave a boost to the military-industrial complex of the United States and is aimed at grabbing the energy resources of the Middle East, Central Asia, Iran and Afghanistan. A "Great Game" has surfaced on a new plane and the integrity and sovereignty of developing countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan is at stake. The US presence in the region and its aggressive designs have led to anger and frustration amongst the vast majority of the people and culminated in anti-US sentiments.
