Terrorism And The Middle East – End The Madness
As the death tolls rises in both Afghanistan and Iraq, one has to wonder how effective the efforts to stop the madness, that seems to thrive in these areas due to the shear will of insurgents determined to keep the violence going, has been.
What is the real goal of the insurgents? Is it simply the desire to see the U.S. troops gone from their land? Do they want absolute control over the people in the region, too weary from previous poverty, corruption, control, violence and death to mount much resistance to the mission of hate and more violence the Taliban/al-Qaeda wishes to force upon the people?
In the after math of the election fiasco in Iran, the violence perpetrated on the innocent people who were jailed for protests in the streets are just now coming to light. Yesterday, I heard a description, on a radio talk show, of the torture some of these people endured as a result of protesting the election.
Over 4,000 people were eventually arrested. One witness spoke of the torture of a man who was beaten, his fingernails ripped out and he was repeatedly raped. The man ended up in a hospital, in a coma and eventually died as a result of his injuries. How is this allowable and why aren’t those responsible for this inhumane brutality punished.
What makes a human being subject another human being to such violent torture? Where has the conscious of mankind gone to allow this treatment to happen to anyone, for any reason? It seems that some people in the Middle East have crossed a line of brutality that they can not seem to, nor do they want to, come back from.
If this is the method of control that has been used in that area over the years I can almost sympathize with their absurd actions of suicide bombings. I would rather die in an instant, with a bomb strapped to my body than suffer the indignities I heard described by the witness of the torture of this man mentioned above.
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, what is happening in that land. I watched a special on CNN, “Generation Islam.” This special told of the recruitment of young children by the Taliban/al-Qaeda to become suicide bombers. The bodies of the little people were rocking back and forth in prayer, singing a song about how their bodies would be in tiny pieces after a bombing.
This affected me. How can this be allowed? This behavior is beyond sick and yet it is happening in real life. When I think of those little kids being brainwashed and sent off to die and kill, it turns my stomach and breaks my heart. Why can’t these people be stopped? Why can’t this torture be stopped?
As contagious as hate is it seems to be spreading like a cancer through the body of the inflicted. Torture, brutality, bestiality, rape, murder all signs of a sick mind in a “normal society” yet becoming the norm in society.
This is a scary world we live in and unless something is done about the violence it will be spreading to a community near you. Terrorists come in many forms. Is this the way you want to live your life – in fear, under the threat of torture if you do not behave in the manner dictated?
When you allow one group to succeed in terrorist acts, others will follow, as a means to an end, as we are seeing in the world now. How long before the terrorists are in a position to control you.
And that’s the way I see it!!!!
