Politics of revenge; world at trouble.

When I had a closer and critical look at the problems confronting the whole world I arrived at the point that the genesis of the tribulations befalling us is our politics of revenge. Flashing back to the brutal attack of 9/11 where up to 3,000 Americans were killed, and in retaliation America had killed more than ten times that number of people in Afghanistan and Iraq, and devastated the lives of probably a hundred times more people.

When a mob in Fallujah desecrated and burned the bodies of four Americans, American armies retaliated with overwhelming force, killing about 1,000 Iraqis, destroying the city by their bombardment, and sacrificing the lives of 100 American soldiers, who, in terms of economics, are mostly the poorest people in America.

The events between Israel and Palestine also had been flaming by retaliation and thousand of innocent lives had been lose in this process. How can we make our world peaceful with retaliation? This cycle of revenge can only be broken when we all stand up against the immorality of injustice, war and terrorism and struggle for the beauty of peace, justice, and freedom for all. Yes. One may call them a dream. But then, what is life if one cannot pursue his or her dreams?
