War Mongers in Suits
When a person fights for a master who wages war
against a weaker nation—driven by supremacy, a misguided ideology, greed, or
the desire to loot resources like minerals and oil—that person is called a
soldier. When they die, their graves are decorated, and they are honoured as
martyrs. The irony is that their lives were not lost for a noble cause, but for
plunder.
In contrast, when a person fights against a puppet
government to defend their resources and rights, they are labelled a terrorist.
In the eyes of the British, Bhagat Singh was a
terrorist. In the eyes of the United States, Che Guevara was a terrorist. The
world has yet to learn the lesson their deaths should have taught us. We still
believe in a Western media that lacks the spine to question the White House and
the Knesset about what is happening in the Middle East.
The real terrorists are the men in suits—the brokers
for weapons manufacturing companies. Not only should their parents be ashamed
of them, but their nations should also hang their heads in shame. The cowards
who hide behind their security, travel in bulletproof cars, and sign agreements
to buy missiles should never be welcomed in any part of the world. They should
be held accountable for their crimes against humanity.
Those who go to sleep by creating sleepless
nights for the common people can never be called Leaders- they are thieves of
happiness and thieves of peace.
