Anything Everything

Gone With The Wind, a beautiful novel by Margaret Mitchell showcases the horrors of war in a touching, empathising manner. Though, primarily a romantic novel, this epic also decsribes the American Civil War. After reading this novel, I pondered over the various wars fought by mankind.

Of course, the two World Wars were the most prominent ones. Among these, the second World War was the most cruellest one. There are a lot of people suffering from the after effects of the war.

In the course of a war, many people get killed, many get wounded to various degrees, many get captured (and tortured). All these are done by some people to some others, whom they've never met in life before. They do this, because, they believe it's their duty. They believe that they serve their country by doing so. Of course they are serving their nation & protecting it's people. At the soldier level, a war is a patriotic & protective act. But what is war to those who plan it?

For them, war means money. They are only interested in the financial aspects of war. To conquer a land means gaining control over the resources of that land. That in turn will be money. Some wars are fought for political ambitions too. The stronger ones can force a weaker nation to comply to it's policies. (which ultimately will earn more revenue to the stronger one)

Terrorism is one such warfare. It has 3 levels- political, financial, & religious. What we hear about in news most of the time is the religious aspect. People are motivated in the name of religion to destroy a nation & a civilization. This is only the tip of the ice-berg. There are a group of people who control these killers. They form the financial aspect. They get money for doing such barbaric acts. They pocket a huge amount & motivate groups of youth into taking arms against innocent and unknown people. But, the real villains are those who give money to those intermediates. They have political ambitions of destroying a nation. They will do anything, spend any amount to see the downfall of a nation. They may let their own people starve, to see the thousands in the other nation dead.

They suck the life blood out of people to gain nothing. They want more land, more money. There's nothing that will satisfy their blood thirst. They are vampires. They will stop at nothing. They have changed the history in the past through violent methods. They are doing it now. But, we shouldn't let them write a future with the blood of people. It's high time we should stop them, put a dead lock to their money thirsty mouth. We have so far been victimised by them. They have hunted us so far. It's time, the people, who want to live, who have dreams, who have families, to hunt down the vampires. To have a future generation who can live in peace, we must do it now.
