Remembering 9/11... ______________________________________________________________________________
Analysis of the Latest Global Happenings How the bluff of Islam can be called, if we are to succeed in meeting the Muslim challenge to Human Civilization All fanaticism is negative, all religious fanaticism is very negative and persistent – be it Hindu, Christian, Muslim or any other, and Islam is the most bloodthirsty expression of religious fanaticism; motivated as the Muslims are by the Instruction Manual of Terrorism – the Quran that has the ravings and rantings against the Kafirs (unbelievers) from the world’s most successful terrorist and the founding father of organized terrorism; Prophet Mohammed-ibn-Abdallah. Reading about the first Fidayeen attack by a serving officer in the Iraqi Army who blew himself up, at a US military checkpoint at Najaf, along with four of our marines whom he lured into a trap, posing as a motorist needing help, should be an eye opener at the Pentagon and the Oval office about the Muslim mind. The Muslim Iraqi officer is now dead and so he can cause no more harm to anyone. This gives us insight into a morbid, but very real fact that – “A good Muslim, is a dead Muslim.” Many would recoil while reading such morbid-sounding statements. But all the Israeli schoolchildren and bus passengers killed were done to death by Muslims who also killed themselves in the bargain, the hijackers of the airliners on 9/11 could cause that apocalyptic destruction, because they too decided to die while killing others. A Muslim is in the business of killing – killing himself/herself while killings others of his/her species. If the human sanity is to survive Islam, then the bluff of Islam needs to be called. And it can be called only when Islam and all its believers are sent into the stillness of death. A stillness from where they could do no more harm to anyone else. In this scenario at times some innocents may get killed as happened with a busload of women and children also at Najaf a few days after the suicide fidayeen attack. Can’t help it when the scenario dictates that you either “kill or be killed”. Those who want succeed in fighting the Jihad have to match the boldness and paranoid commitment of the Muslims by declaring that their singular mission is to wipe out Islam from the face of this planet whatever that may cost in terms of human lives The Muslims are audacious, they are paranoid, they are reckless, they don’t fear death, they seek it and welcome it, but only if they can kill others while killing themselves. They celebrate their own death and of their enemies, they rejoice at their enemy’s death and dance over their corpses. Islam is a psychological disorder from which one billion human on this planet suffer. And so we need a doctor to perform the surgery to cut of this cancerous cyst of Islam from the body of global human society, or else the Human species will not survive as a civilized species. The only way to defeat Islam is for its adversaries to outmatch the fanaticism, the audacity, the recklessness and the lust to kill that the Muslims have. Only a world leader who openly declares that it is his/her aim to destroy Islam worldwide by using thermonuclear weapons, can possibly strike terror in the minds (of the heartless) Muslims. Only he/she can defeat the Muslims, and deliver the human species from the paranoia of Islam. Yes, in Europe, there have been such leaders who came closest to defeating Islam. Leaders like Karl the Hammer who slaughtered two hundred thousand Muslim Arabs troops on the battlefield of Tours (Poitiers) 200 Kms. south of Paris, ending their Jihad in Western Europe in 732 C.E. and saved Europe from Islam. In Asia, there was Hulagu Khan who in 1238 sacked and burnt Baghdad to the ground after killing the Caliph alongwith the entire population of Baghdad, by putting the city to torch, bringing an end to the Islamic Caliphate. These persons cannot be role models for a civilized person, but if we are to succeed in our mission to save Human civilization from the challenge of Islam, we need to destroy Islam, and for that unfortunately, we need to emulate Hulagu and Karl the Hammer (Charles Martel). In fact we need better their record by being even more efficient in the task, that they set about doing – since today our focus is global. Yes this sounds morbid, but the alternative is our own destruction and the eclipse if not demise of Human civilization at the hands of the Muslims. For achieving this a determination to vaporize all forms of life across the Islamic crescent from Morocco to Indonesia is unavoidable. Not that one billion Muslims will have to be actually put to death (hopefully not), but only if such determination exists and is openly displayed, can we bring any sense into the minds of those of our species who operate at a beastly level. So we agree with our President George Bush when he says “we’ll hunt down” our enemies. If the enemy is a beast, then to save yourself you gotta be a hunter! And unfortunately, if the Muslims persist in being paranoid killers that they have been for the last One Thousand and Four Hundred years since Islam was founded by the world’s most successful terrorist and the founding father of organized terrorism, the prophet Mohammed-ibn-Abdallah, then unfortunately for the benefit of the rest of humankind, this determination would have to be acted upon up to its gory end. Our guess (and hope) is that once the Muslims see the determination in the rest of the world to destroy Islam whatever it has to cost in terms of human lives, can they sue for peace. And if they don’t, they will have to be sent into the stillness of death, so that the human species can once again pick up the journey towards building human civilization, in the post-Islamic phase of Human History. We are told over and over again that the Muslims love death while killing others; and that they celebrate martyrdom while putting others to death. Great! Now it is high time for the rest of us to come together so that this death-seeking and death-glorifying bluff of Islam can be called by declaring that we intend to give martyrdom to all Muslims all over the globe. Islam that was born by the sword can go away only by the sword. Let’s see if all of them choose death or at least some of them choose to come to their senses. Either way the world stands to gain. We need to give them this hard choice if we are to succeed in meeting the Muslim challenge to Human Civilization. ___________ After Iraq what and where? Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has set the stage for the next stage of the war against terrorism by sounding a note of caution to Syria and Iran who have surreptitiously started sending clandestine arms shipments into Iraq. “The consequences will be serious” says Rumsfeld. And they better be if we are to overcome a determined and paranoid enemy whose nationality is not limited to Iraq. The War that has started in Iraq can end only when we plant the Stars and Stripes over the rubble of the Kaaba Seeing the video footage of the two British servicemen who were assassinated by Saddam’s murderous military and the news of our own marines being subjected to physical torture was an eye opener. So far we have heard over here, news about Islamic armies torturing captured POWs by cutting off their ears, noses and even penis and stuffing them down the victim’s throat. These are the less gruesome methods employed! Yes we’ve heard that the Fidayeen also stuff boiled eggs into the private parts of captured female prisoners, rejoice over the deaths of their adversaries and dance over their dead bodies! The barbarity and depravity of our enemies, the enemies of humankind is sickening. Pardon me folks, with this kind of an enemy facing us, and the rage that it is fuelling against us on the Arab street, my guess is that the war that has started in Iraq can end only when we plant the Stars and Stripes (and the Union Jack) over the rubble of the Kaaba at Mecca. …Howsoever, long that may take, as President Bush said at Camp David in the august presence of our guest, friend and ally Prime Minister Blair. Our advice to Defense Secretary Rumsfeld is that we do not require more troops to be sent into the hell of Iraq, but more hellfire with MOABs Daisy Cutters and soon with thermonuclear weapons. If we do not make these hard choices fast enough, the going will be very hard and very, very costly for us in terms of the lives of our servicemen. Let us repeat that this war which has started in Iraq can end only when we plant the Stars and Stripes (and the Union Jack) over the rubble of the Kaaba at Mecca, “where lies buried Mahomet, the devil of the infidels” (to use the phrase of a 15th century Portuguese historian). Hoisting the Stars and Stripes at Umm Qasr was only a beginning. Iraq War - Humanitarian Crisis and Inhuman Creeds With footage of injured and dead civilians being shown on all news channels the natural human revulsion against suffering will manifest itself in the civilized world and will lead to an even greater clamor to stop the war in Iraq. In the Arab and Muslim world these shots of human suffering will further fuel Muslim rage against the West. And naturally so, when those dying and suffering are Muslims and Arabs. The story would have been different if say the Americans had been behind the recent slaying of 24 Kashmiri Hindus at Nandimarg near Srinagar. A preposterous statement you would say, why should the Americans kill innocent Hindu Pandits in Kashmir. What have the Hindus done to the Americans? It was not the Hindus who brought about 9/11. Oh yes it was not the Hindus who could have done any such thing as 9/11, nor would the Americans kill innocent Hindus. But can the Muslims do a 9/11 and can they also kill innocent Hindus. Why ask such a question when we all know that the Muslims have committed these two crimes and countless others ever since the world’s most widespread and long surviving cult of violence unleashed itself on the world from Medina 1400 years back. So how justified are the Americans when there is unintended collateral damage in the form of civilian deaths when they go about a pre-emptive war against the a cruel despot who has used Chemical weapons in the past and will do so again in the near future? History will decide that. History will decide how much violence can a law enforcing agency use to subdue lawlessness in the world. Suffice it to say here that when we squirm in our drawing rooms when seeing the images of the suffering civilians in Iraq, let us remember that those who brought about 9/11 and those who killed the Hindu Pandits in cold blood belonged to the same religion, same culture and same mindset as the suffering Iraqi civilians. And had it been possible these very suffering civilians would have been the cause of our suffering had they not been neutralized in the pre-emptive strike that we are witnessing in Iraq and which we will witness in different swathes of the Islamic world in the months and years to come. Let us not lose sight of this overall picture and remember the track record hatred, violence and bloodshed of the Islamists whenever they had the upper hand, those black deeds which they will do once again when and if they get a chance in the future. The world better be prepared to bear to the sights of those suffering Iraqis, or else we ourselves will have to suffer at their hands and there will be nobody to weep for us when and if this unlikely scenario happens. We say unlikely because the world is now awakening to the terror that Islam is all about. Why is a Cruel Dictator like Saddam so popular in the Muslim world? Did you ever wonder why a Cruel Dictator like Saddam is so popular in the Muslim world? The answer is people admire another person if they share something with the person they are admiring. Any average practicing Muslim is as cruel, as close-minded, as fanatical and as prone to terrorize others as is Saddam Hussein (or Osama, or Hafez Assad, or any one from terror organizations like the Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Tanzim, Hezbollah). The civilized world better wake up to this reality, since today one fourth of the human population is under the spell of the cult of paranoid violence named Islam. And this is the reason why scientists, painters, doctors, nurses, or any peace-loving person is never a hero in the eyes of the Muslims, but tyrants like Saddam and murderous maniacs like Osama are role models for an average Muslim. Hence today they are rooting for Saddam from Indonesia to Pakistan to Egypt. Moral of the story : Muslims are all like Saddam. Why are WMDs dangerous when they are in Saddam’s hands but harmless when they are with Sharon, Bush or Blair….. or for that matter even with Putin, Jiang, Vajpayee or Chirac? The WMDs themselves are not dangerous by themselves, it is the mindset of those in whose hands they reside is what makes them dangerous or otherwise. Saddam and Khameini, (or Musharraf, and god knows how many other Muslim despots) have WMDs. Muslims are the most violent specimens of religious fanaticism. This is not to say that fanatics of other religious persuasions are angels. The trident wielding Hindus who force others to chant “Jai Sri Ram” and those deceptively humane looking but paranoidly insistent Christian missionaries out to harvest the souls of the pagans, are other specimens of negative and socially destructive human behavior. But all said and done they are far less dangerous than the bloodthirsty Muslims who are out to terrorize the world into submission to Islam. And so WMDs in the hands of those with an Islamic mindset is what makes the WMDs dangerous. A fanatic belonging to any religion may appear to be human in his/her physical form, but all of them have the temperament of wild animals. The way a wild animal attacks and kills its adversary, the most violent among the religious fanatics will go to the extent of killing another person, if he/she does not agree to convert to the religion of the fanatic. Needless to tell you that the most viscous among the religious fanatics call themselves – Muslims. And what Saddam has in common with Musharraf, Prince Fahd and the Ayatollahs - is Islam; something which Saddam does not have in common with Sharon, Bush, Blair, Putin, Jiang or Chirac – although all of them have WMDs under their control. Saddam’s Dirty Tricks justify a few MOABs on Baghdad..if not A,H,N payloads as yet Waving White Flags and then firing at your adversary, disguising soldiers and suicide squads as civilians and Hijab (veil) clad women and then firing on Coalition forces, pretending to cheer our forces and then firing at them when they are off guard – are these the tactics of normal warfare? According to Islamic ethics – yes they are.. Why even Saddam the President of Iraq asks his countrymen to “hit off the enemy’s head” and quotes the Quran for justifying such language. One would have to believe that if this is what the Quran really says then it is in fact the world’s first Instruction Manual of Terrorism. No wonder Muslims behave as pathological killers, and psychopathic murderers – all in name of their religion and holy (sic) war – Jihad. The Real WMD is the mind of the Theology-inspired Terrorist While there is and will be talk of finding the WMDs, we say that it is this Instruction Manual of Terrorism that has made the mind of every practicing Muslim a Weapon of Mass Destruction! A weapon that the free world cannot allow to cause further destruction. Yeah all fanatics are bad enough be they Christian, Jewish, Hindu or Communist. But then a Muslim is programmed to be the most violent and cruel among all in addition to being the most well organized globally into terrorist networks lavishly financed by petrodollars. We in the Western world and the coalition forces better realize real fast that we are up against a beastly enemy who has no qualms for foul methods of warfare. With the battle for Iraq now inching towards a street-by-street urban warfare scenario, we need to pick up a leaf from what the Israelis did at Jenin – that is the least we can do. Has the Muslim concept of war changed since the days of Mohammed? The need of the hour is to realize that while our methods of warfare and outlook towards life has undergone a sea-change since the Crusades, that of our Muslim adversaries is still very much the same as it was during the days of Prophet Mohammed. But even so, we cannot expect our forces to emulate what our ancestors did during the crusades when combating this enemy. In those days, in exceptional circumstances of food shortages, enemy combatants were devoured - fulfilling a dual purpose of slaying the enemy and making him the source of physical sustenance for the Crusader army. No, we cannot and will not go to that gruesome practice of the Crusades. That’s horrendous. But we need to remember that the zeal which Peter the Hermit infused in the Coalition which made up the first Crusade is what gave the much needed killer instinct to make the first Crusade victorious. And when we faltered due to the chivalry of Richard the Lionheart we had to face defeat at the hands of Saladin. Can we be like the crusaders who made up the first Crusade? Tough Question. Since, after so many centuries we have changed, we believe in an honorable fight, where non-combatants are not fired upon and the white flag is not used as a camouflage to fire on our enemies. But the mentality of our adversary has not changed - frozen as it is by what is said in the Instruction Manual of Terrorism. So what is to be done by the Allied forces today? We cannot and will not issue a decree saying that it is holy duty of Christians and Jews to kill Muslims. That’s ridiculous! We will not imitate the dirty tricks that the enemy has started resorting to at Umm Qasr, Al Basra and Al Nasiriyah and of which we shall see the Nadir as we lay siege to Baghdad and then take the city - one way or the other. Then what do we do today while we face a beastly enemy? Hunt them down? How? Our forefathers only a couple of hundred years back rose up to a similar situation and nurtured in us the cowboy spirit to know that one who pulls the trigger first, lives. This saw us through the days of the Wild West to build today the most powerful nation on this globe. Special situations call for special reflexes if the situation is not to become desperate and go out of control. Today we cannot allow the enemy’s dirty tricks to add to our casualties. We simply cannot and will not allow that. The time will soon come for us to take a call on when and how many (Massive Ordnance Air Blasts) MOABs to drop on Baghdad. Till today, we have wasted millions of dollars in firing Cruise missiles for destroying Saddam’s Palaces and other pompous symbols. But then these symbols of real estate emptied of their residents, are not our enemies. On 9/11, the enemy used our planes, our fuel and our infrastructure to lead to three thousand American casualties. We need to do likewise at least at the enemy’s military personnel. How do we confront foul tactics with fair means It is high time that we use our costly ordnance to destroy the enemy himself. And the enemy is not just Saddam, but his Republican Guards, his Fidayeen (Suicide Squads) and the entire Iraqi Military. All of these are those at whom our arsenal should be targeted. And now with these forces in civilian garb, we cannot afford to allow niceties to come in the way of destroying the enemy. Collateral damage has to be factored into any probable casualties at Baghdad. We cannot trust anyone who waves the white flag, we cannot trust anyone who cheers our advancing forces, we cannot consider a person to be a civilian just because she/he is in civilian clothes. A terrible choice, but it has to be made. Will Crossing the Red Line around Baghdad Unleash Iraq’s Final Weapon? As we approach the Red Line around Baghdad, as a first step today, we need to bring out of our arsenal the MOAB for targeting Baghdad, while making allowance for collateral damage. This is least we should do today, even if we still falter in attaching Atomic, Hydrogen or Neutron payloads to the Tomahawks. These can wait for then time when the enemy gets desperate enough to use mustard gas, anthrax, or any of the nerve agents when we cross the Red Line around Baghdad. That fact that Saddam would have no qualms in using chemical weapons is proved by the discovery of Chemical suits in the Iraqi trenches. What were these suits doing there, since the Iraqis know that the Western allies do not use Chemical weapons?? But Saddam can very well use Chemical weapons as did with the Iranians in the Iran-Iraq war and with the Kurds at Halabja. So today we need to make unorthodox choices to overcome an enemy who has started using unorthodox methods of warfare. ____________
Strike on Iraq : Precision Guided Missiles land inside Iran Mistakes do happen during a war, so the above headline need not cause eyebrows to be raised. But the question remains that during the ongoing Strike on Iraq how, and why could have Precision Guided Missiles made their way into Iran? Modern technology of Precision Guided Missiles and Laser Guided Bombs along with the house to house mapping based on high resolution satellite images, have made it possible even to decide which window a missile goes through. But then to err is human and missiles are operated by humans and so mistakes do happen. The closest we came to such a “miss” or rather a hit was at the Chinese embassy at Belgrade during the bombing of Serbia. And we assume that was a mistake. Now the mistake has happened again, so it is one this time around? And in the present context can we guess that the next on the agenda for War against terror has been indicated at by the, not one but four Precision Guided Tomahawk Missiles that made their way inside Iran, with one of them sticking an oil refinery at Abadan – with precision. By this time next year or maybe earlier, the War against Terror (Jihad) would have moved to the next target on the Axis of Evil – Iran. So after Saddam’s Evil Dictatorship, the twilight of the Ayatollahs will be brought to at an end, once Iran comes under the receiving end of the Tomahawk Cruise missiles. A not so camouflaged hit (oops sorry, we mean - hint) of which has given by the missiles that touch-based targets in Iran in the opening days of the Iraq chapter of the War against Terror (Jihad). The hatred that the Ayatollah’s have bred against whom they call the “Great Satan” (USA) was indicated when they instigated their supporters to storm the US Embassy in Tehran and hold its staff hostage for months together, during the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979. We guess, that after the Strike against Iraq is concluded, that on Iran will start. The UN’s focus on Iran’s nuclear reactors has set the first stage for a build-up towards a strike on Iran. And looking even further, maybe during the Strike on Iran, as the next chapter of this War against Terror (Jihad), some precision guided missiles could land in Pakistan. Let’s see. The future sure is going to be interesting and very very lively. ________________ What President Bush can learn from Hulagu Khan. Hulagu Khan as the name might indicate, was not a Muslim. He was a pagan Mongol chieftain who in the 13th century sacked Baghdad and brought about an end to the Islamic Caliphate. He was the first in the history of Islam to successfully invade a Muslim country and defeat the Muslims in their own land. His brutality, in which he out-matched the brutality of the Muslims was one factor for his military success against the Muslim rulers of Baghdad. Where Hulagu Failed, despite Military success When Hulagu captured Baghdad in 1258 C.E., he set the city on fire after a brutal massacre of all those living in the city. He was the first conqueror to be successful militarily against a Muslim country, as till then the Muslims had never been defeated in their own land. Their defeat at the hands of Charles Martel in France in 732 was in the nature of their invasion being stopped and rolled back. So Hulagu gets the credit for having invaded the Caliphate, sacking the capital after luring in a trap and murdering the Caliph. But despite this unprecedented military success, Hulgau was not effective in overcoming his Muslim adversaries, as his descendants three generations later were converted to Islam and became advocates of a religion that Hulagu had put to the torch. The lesson here is that, military decisiveness is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for success in defeating religious fanaticism, of which Islam is the most brutal expression. Something that President George Bush should bear in mind as he sets about the task of following Hulagu Khan’s footsteps into Baghdad. So what should the Americans do? Should they be as brutal as Hulagu to counter modern-day Islamic savagery in the form of a bio-chemical attack from the rulers of Baghdad? The answer to this question is matter of military strategy. We can only say that if the answer is ‘Yes”, then this is not be a sufficient condition to defeat the enemy, or rather to win it over from its outlook of brutal religious fanaticism. If after stunning military success, Hulagu’s descendants embraced the outlook of their enemies, then they had failed to recognize what was central in their adversary’s outlook. And so they had themselves had fallen prey to the root, the very core of their adversary’s existence. Needless to add that the root, the very core of their adversary’s existence was, and is today, the Islamic faith which is the most brutal expression of fanaticism. It is this very root of the adversary’s existence which will have to be rooted out of the minds of those whom the Americans subdue at Baghdad, if they are to re-mould the liberated Iraq as a democratic and liberal state. The mindset of religious fanaticism is counter-productive to a democratic mindset. The two cannot prevail together – one will have to eventually go the question is which one? Which one of the two will go away from the liberated Iraq - the outlook of religious fanaticism or a democratic mindset? In Christian Europe of Galileo’s days too the Church was in conflict with science and secular affairs. But the issue was resolved by a separation of the Church and the state, with the evolution of a secular outlook in temporal affairs, first in Europe and then in the New World (Americas) Coming back to Hulagu Khan, he did not have the sagacity to perceive the root, the very core of the his adversary’s mindset. Hence his descendants fell prey to that root, the very core of their enemy’s mindset viz. the worst and most brutal form of religious fanaticism - Islam. But President Bush, and Prime Minister Blair have the sagacity to recognize the root, the very core of the adversary’s mindset as the reason for the malaise that brought about 9/11, although they may be diplomatic about it by not stating it openly. The point is to recognize that the Islamic mindset is at the root of the adversary’s mindset, a mindset which is counter–productive to building a democratic society. And if bringing democracy to the middle east is the aim, then it is a foregone conclusion that an outlook that is the most brutal and savage form of religious fanaticism will have to be rooted out from the Middle East, and in fact from all over the globe. Needless to add that once this fanaticism withers (and it will not wither so easily), it should not be replaced by any other form of fanaticism whether religious or non-religious, if freedom and democracy are to prevail in a world where they are cherished and protected. ___________
The Rationale for superceding the UN and replacing it with an Emergency Council At the outbreak of a war, all normal peacetime laws are suspended. Wars throw up unforeseen contingency situations requiring urgent action, hence a state of emergency is declared suspending those peacetime legal provisions that could obstruct the war effort. Today when we are at the eve of the War to disarm Saddam, as a first step to disarm other elements of the Axis of Evil, this step is called for with regards to the UN. Needless to add that after Iraq, the gathering focus on Iran’s nuclear designs, spells out Iran as the next goal for the disarming of the Jihadis. The disarmament of Pakistan of its WMDs will follow the disarmament of Iran, regardless of the fact whether Musharraf continues to hold on to power or whether he is overthrown by overtly Jihadi generals there. Those to be brought into the disarmament dragnet sooner or later would include the covert Jihadi regimes of Syria, Libya, Sudan, and the last round would include Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. This pattern would hold if the overt Jihadis do not take control from the covert Jihadis ruling these countries, necessitating immediate action. While all this will happen, what is pertinent today at the eve of the beginning of this epic exercise of disarming the Jihadis beginning with Saddam, is that the USA, UK, Spain, Australia, and all other sensible nations should move towards having war-time provisions that would enable immediate reflex action to counter any sudden onslaught on the West by the Jihadis. An onslaught which is sure to happen, but which will be unpredictable in the way it happens. One danger is the cargo ships that Saddam has sent out, months before the UN arms inspections started, on to the high seas with the most potent of his WMDs and missiles. These could try to hit Western Cities thus making true his boast of telling the US to beware of the consequences of any attack on Iraq. In addition the terror strikes in the future will be organized not only by the Al Qaeda but by the new generation of organizations of the Jihadis that will be spawned by the fury and frenzy that is sure to overtake those with an inherent Jihadi mentality, once the attack on Iraq starts. This could spell a new chapter in the savagery of Jihadi terror. All this is said here, to underline the fact that when today when we are at the eve of the epic and historic War to disarm the Jihadis, beginning with Saddam, we need to suspend all normal peacetime laws. As this war is going to have global and a long term implications, what needs to be suspended first is the United Nations Organization. The measures that would be necessary on the part of the civilized world cannot be hamstrung by a talking shop where the Jihadis and their pusillanimous allies from “le ancien regime” of Old Europe hold a brute majority where they can overrule the sagacity of those who recognize the challenge of the Jihad that is staring the civilized world in its face. The meeting at the Azores The meeting at the Azores could throw up the germ of the idea of an Emergency Council that could authorize the member states of the alliance to take contingency civil and military measures to overcome any unforeseen situations that would pop-up once the war starts. During a war all dissent is prohibited and if necessary all dissenters who disturb the war effort are kept in check and/or custody. Today we cannot keep the governments of dissenting states in custody. But we can at least start winding up the UN by asking it to vacate its premises at New York, suspend all financial contributions to this peacetime talking shop and replace it with a formal, Emergency Council. Maybe the UN could relocate to Paris, Berlin or maybe to Geneva where the defunct League of Nations once had its offices, before the outbreak of World War 2. ________________
”I would be proud to acknowledge an Iraqi connection with Al Qaeda.” - Saddam Hussein This statement from the Iraqi dictator is a proof of the fundamental commonality of temperament between Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, in spite of the visible differences between them as Osama acknowledges in his recent tape. But the similarity, is not surprising since both of them ultimately take inspiration from the Koran. They are also similar in their guile. Remember the way Osama gave the slip to his American adversaries at Tora Bora? Saddam also has been smart to preempt the Americans and move out his WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction) out of Iraq, on to huge Cargo ships (of which only three are known so far), months before the UN inspection started. That there is something seriously sinister about this is evident from the radio silence that the ships have maintained to escape detection. No wonder that Hans Blix and his team of UN inspectors did not find any WMDs on Iraqi soil after months of inspections! And now even if Iraq complies and destroys all its Al-Samoud missiles and other missiles, it will not be deprived of its striking capability, which is safe and secure on the High Seas. We guess that once the American military action against Iraq starts, Saddam would ask his commanders to fire off missiles with chemical, biological and maybe even nuclear(?) warheads from these Cargo Containers into Israel and at the American and British frigates, destroyers and aircraft carriers stationed in the Persian Gulf. The nuclear capability of the Islamic world is a Dark Horse, about which the world at large, is blissfully ignorant. The Americans and the world community needs to be prepared for one of Saddam’s final but brilliant tricks (remember his battle of Khafji in the first Gulf war?). With something like this he could put the Middle East on fire before he slips into the shadows like Osama has. We have a tricky customer in Saddam as we had in Osama, but this is not the only similarity between the two desperadoes, and the world could have to pay a heavy price while disarming Saddam and an even heavier price if it does not disarm him now. The hidden aim of the sponsored anti-war rallies The peaceniks who are demonstrating in droves against the impending war need to understand this reality. But they will not, since they are the handmaiden of Jihadis (and their accomplices, those discredited communists), who with these massive road shows against the war, want to tie up American hands, till the Islamic world has nuclear parity with the West after which the Jihadis can challenge and try to defeat the West openly. The time for the world is to act against the Islamic Jihad NOW. The battle in Iraq is only the second chapter, as that in Afghanistan was the first. But there are many more and decisive battles to be won in this long epic war in front of us to finally overcome the Islamic Jihad. _______________
Where is the War against Terror heading? These days the focus is all on Iraq. But after Iraq is dealt with, what will follow? And why is Iraq first on the list? Some say it is Oil, but then Oil is only a part of the story. Iraq is first is since it presents a natural reason for being struck since it has flouted UN resolutions for eleven years after brazenly attacking Kuwait. Now that Iraq is being tackled, Syria and Sudan would have to be told that since they harbour terrorists, they need to flush them out; or the global anti-terror coalition will move in to do that. And the anti-terror coalition will in fact move in to do that. The land assault being preceded by the due softening of targets inside Syria and Sudan through a sustained air campaign. After they are tackled then Iran/Pakistan will be told they have nukes and will be asked to open up their installations to global weapons inspectors following which they will be asked to hand over their nukes and delivery systems to ensure non-proliferation and the WMDs fallings into wrong hands. An acceptance of this demand could lead to a coup in Pakistan. Iran on its part will outright refuse to comply. In both cases it will necessitate military action. Pakistan and Iran will be struck and dealt with before the anti-terror campaign turns to other Islamic states Pakistan and Iran could come first in the list since they are non-Arab states. After this part is accomplished would come the kingpin Saudi Arabia and Egypt who will be told that their Govts are allies in the war against terror, so they need to be helped in flushing out the terrorists operating from within these countries. How this part of the campaign would go depends on how the Saudi and Egyptian Govts co-operate. And also if the much dreaded coup or popular uprisings overthrow these Govts. If this happens then this part of the campaign would mirror the Iraq chapter of the anti-terror campaign. The mopping up operations after this would pick up Indonesia, Malaysia, North Africa, Central Asia (from Chehnya to Chinese Turkestan) Thus in a systematic manner, the military prowess of the Terrorist Crescent will be flushed down the drain, bit by bit. The anti-terror coalition, can't flush all of them down at one time. This would make it a difficult and dangerous task, given the terrorists' lust to kill. The statements of the Chechens at the Moscow Opera when they held 800 Russians as hostages, that: "We are more keen to die (and kill) than you Russians are keen to live" illustrates the paranoid enemy mindset. Of course after the long and arduous campaign leads the global anti-terror alliance to global victory, we will have to deal with an altogether different situation. But we guess that by then the geo-political situation would be such that then it would be easier for sensible folks across the globe to have a reasonable world order where the rational and humanist outlook guides us to a safe and prosperous future. ________________
The Jihadi gameplan The Jihadi gameplan is to force a fight between the West and Islam. Ironical as it may sound, they have wanted the US to attack Iraq. The Jihadis want the Muslim world to be in a ferment against the West. This serves the outlook of the Jihadis. Peace across the globe does not suit their outlook of either killing or converting the Kafirs (non-Muslims). This mentality of the Jihadis is also reflected in devastating attacks in Israel whenever the Israelis relent and open the checkpoints. This mentality is also seen in Kashmir in the terror strikes during the recently concluded elections. The Jihadis will strike whenever peace threatens to break out. They are at war with peace! In this situation the best bet for the rest of us is to be at perpetual war with the Jihadis till the last of them is done in. So an attack on Iraq must not only take place, but it would have to be followed-up by one on Syria, and that by another on Sudan, followed by one on Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc. We cannot allow ourselves to rest till the threat of the Jihad is put out of the way for all across the globe for all time to come. It is our guess that the Jihadis attacked the French Oil tanker and struck Moscow to force president Putin's hand on Iraq, so that he would not block the American resolution on Iraq at the UN. (That Putin and Chirac did not get a chance to use the veto is now history). Ironical as it looks, the Jihadis desperately wanted an American attack on Iraq to take place. This way they can get rid of the non-conformist, but ruthless and cruel, Baathist and modernist Saddam Hussein and make the Muslim world rise in ferment against the West. An American attack on Iraq serves the Jihadis both ways - the Murtad (apostate) Saddam goes while raising the anti-West temper in the Ummah. We also feel that the Jihadis will do something spectacularly destructive in France to force the French into the war on Iraq. The ramming of an explosive-laden craft in the massive French Oil Tanker at Yemen was the first fired but failed shot. The second one may take place in Paris using chemical weapons. The find of Ricin in a Paris suburb is one indication. The French better be extra alert. _________________
Sniper attacks a new front in Asymmetric Warfare? As it has been proved the Washington area snipers had a motivation similar to the Al Qaeda. This time the duo have been arrested. But this may not be the end of the story. Some new sniper will re-surface after a few days in another area. We suspect that such attacks will start taking place in different countries too. Lets see. With sniper attacks, the Jihadis can mess up the day-to-day life the common American citizens. The Jihadi gameplan is to make the people so frightened that they dread every minute of their lives. Before the snipers were arrested we had raised a pertinent question: Has even one of the persons killed by the sniper been a Muslim or Arab?? Has the sniper attacked worshippers coming out of Mosques? No. This itself told a story. The hefty ransom demand for millions of dollars was only a red herring. And if the hefty ransom has at all been paid, then it would have gone to finance more sniper attacks as the new Asymmetric front of the global Jihad. We suspect that similar sniper attacks will resume after a lapse in a new area in any part of the globe. _____________ A lesson for The Govt of India The Govt of India (GOI) has also a lesson for itself here. While it refuses to support the American initiative on Iraq, it expects the US to back it on Kashmir while tackling the same problem of terrorism. It is quite possible that in the next few months, the GOI will be left with a red face, if the shrewd Pakistani dictator suddenly makes a volte-face and says that in the interests of fighting global terrorism, he backs the US offensive on Iraq. The slow moving GOI will then look for a big fig leaf to do a similar volte-face. As it is after 9/11 the GOI lost out to the Pakis due to reason of geographical proximity of Pakistan to the then enemy (Taliban), the GOI can now lose out due to the timely upstaging of support to the US by the more agile and shrewd Pakistani dictator. At least the GOI could go by the adage "Silence is Golden" on the issue of supporting the coming US assault on Iraq, if it does not want to commit itself either way. It seems that due to its policy still being hamstrung to the defunct psychology of the non-aligned movement, the GOI is going to lose another opportunity to tune itself into the global war against terror. _______________ The American attack on Iraq is going to be the Catapult for the next phase of the War against Terrorism Afghanistan being a non-Arab country, the war there was a mild trailer of what is to come. Iraq is different ballgame. It is the most powerful militarily among the Arab countries. Most Arab governments may not want Saddam, but they want a militarily strong Iraq. They helped Saddam against Iran in the Iran-Iraq war, but he turned against them in his expansionist ambitions when he annexed Kuwait. Thus he spoilt the Pan-Arab show. How will the American attack on Iraq serve the overall purpose of destruction of Islamic militancy better Violent protests against the Americans have begun on the streets of the Arab world, and in the coming months there could also be more vicious terrorist attacks against the West and hence more American retaliation. Today, the Saudis are wanting to support the US action, because they fear Saddam, but they also fear that they will be next target after Saddam goes. The Arabs rulers are caught in a pincer between their own peoples' pro-Saddam sentiment and their own conditional dislike of Saddam. While wanting a powerful Iraq they would like to see Saddam go, but they all secretly fear that the Americans will turn on them one by one after Saddam goes. The future is going to be really interesting and we can see the Americans carrying out the War against Jihad very smartly. ____________________ Optional Scenarios if the USA does not decimate Saddam now - Loss of face in front of the world. So folks, make your choice. ________ French and German fears in joining the Coalition Today the US is having a hard time convincing Russia and its European allies to back its attack on Iraq. The Europeans did the same dithering when tackling Hitler. They allowed him to overrun Austria, as they backed Saddam in his attack on Iran, they allowed Hitler to take Czech Sudetenland, as they stood by for five months when Saddam swallowed Kuwait (And had it not been for US determination, the Europeans would not have lifted a finger against Saddam in 1991), they allowed Hitler to militarize the Rhineland and to re-activate the German Airforce under the guise of flying clubs, as they have allowed Saddam to amass WMDs. He would have gone nuclear much earlier, had the Israelis not destroyed his reactor in a daring air raid. Now it is high time for the Europeans to stop repeating their mistakes of 1938 in the year 2003. Today once again while the US goes it alone attack, with the exception of UK, none of the EU (European Union) states are ready to openly back the US. What lies in the back of European minds is the eerie prediction that Muslim armies are prophesied to overrun Europe in the first stage of the third war, bringing the papacy to an end while ravaging the heart and center of Christendom. Even if one discounts the prophesies of Nostradamus as irrational; we cannot but help projecting the trajectories of the union of interests as seen in the Arab League unanimously condemning any proposed American attack on Iraq and the startling statement of Amre Moussa the Secretary-General of the Arab League that an attack on Iraq would open the “gates of hell” and that it would be considered to be an attack on all Arab states. This ominously reflects the NATO outlook where an attack on one of its member states is considered to be an attack on all. And now with Russia an invitee to the NATO and most of the former Warsaw Pact members having been co-opted into the NATO, the polarization seems to be telling - Muslim nations on one side and non-Muslim (mainly Christian on the other). Again the similarity to the Cross Vs. Crescent scenario in Nostradamus's writings are chillingly uncomfortable. And more uncomfortable to the Europeans because it is they, who lie on the route of an Islamic invasion of the Western world. Twice the Europeans have had to turn back invading Muslim armies - once at Tours in 732 and then at Vienna in the 17th century. Now the developments could see a repetition of these events, if Nostradamus' prophesy of Muslim armies overrunning Europe is to come true. No nation would want its own home to be vandalized, (hence the US concern for Homeland Security after 9/11) although any nation would want its enemy to be destroyed if the battle is fought one the soil of either the enemy nation or on that of a third nation. The US attack on Iraq, could invite an immediate Iraqi retribution on Israel, followed or accompanied by that on Europe - due to Europe's geographical proximity to Iraq. Of course if the Iraqi Sucds and the radar avoiding Silkworms have in the meanwhile acquired the reach of ICBM (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile), then the target of the Iraqis could be anywhere beyond Israel. The anti-War protests – the 2nd front of the Jihadis A second front that the Jihadis have opened up surreptitiously against the Western world seems to have escaped their attention. The second front of the Jihadis to embarrass the US and the West is the anti-war rampage. Who finances the violent protests across the world? Have you thought about that? The Jihadis are also funding non-Muslim terrorist organisations like the ETA - the Basque separatist organisation. Have you noticed how ETA attacks have grown more frequent and more daring after 9/11 and that the attacks are now centered on economically emasculating Spain by terrorizing the popular Spanish Tourist spots and frighten the European tourists who come seeking Spain’s sunny beaches. The other pattern is that of ETA targeting EU meetings in Spain. The message is clear the ETA is on the rampage - but why more so after 9/11? That is the question. (The Jihadis are also trying to open communication channels with other non-Muslim terrorist organisations like the IRA (Irish Republican Army) and the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam), but have not made any headway with them so far. The Jihadis are meticulously planning a fifth column in the Western World, as another front of their asymmetric warfare. It is high time the US and the West opened its eyes to the happenings around them and give up the delusion that this is not their war against Islam. They may delude themselves by saying that. But for the Jihadis, this is surely a war of Islam on the rest of the world. Whenever they had their way the Jihadis have moved through an unsuspecting and ill-prepared victim nation like a hot knife through butter; now if human civilization is to be saved, then it is high time for that butter to turn into lava so as to melt the knife of the Islamic Jihad. ______________________ "Discuss Kashmir followed by Oldham, London, Small Arabia (in New York) tomorrow" Start a discussion on Kashmir today… followed by one on Oldham, Leeds, Burnley, small Arabia (in New York) …etc., tomorrow Western statesmen who are asking India to talk to Pakistan about Kashmir and are asking Israel to talk to the Palestinians, should realize that one day this logic will take them to a disaster. Someday the Muslim rioters at Oldham, Leeds, Burnley and in other cities in the West will ask for special privileges, protection of minority rights and later for a separate state that could decide to become a part of any Muslim nation (so as to belong to the Ummah). Western statesmen need to watch out when they fall prey to demands for minority rights, self-determination, etc coming from Muslims in any corner of the globe. Since the ultimate aim of most Muslims is to have an environment where there is no place for non-Muslims. ______________________________________________________________________________
Motto of this website:The religious outlook that claims to "know the unknown", as a god, allah, ishwar, etc., is a sub-optimal human response (and so is a sub-human response). Violent monotheism is a criminal response which has brought our world to where it is today, post 11th September. The need of our age is for religious fanatics to move over and make way for rational-humanists. To make it more subtle; the need is for religious fanaticism to move out of human minds and be replaced by rational-humanism. Our maintaining this site, is our contribution for working towards this objective.
