August 17 blasts
What surprises me is that most people of Bangladesh are not condemning the blasts. The outpouring of anger towards the US and its allies when it started its war against terrorism was very vocal, but where are the voices when terror strikes on their front door. Even more surprising is that some people are even saying that the terrorism will not take roots in Bangladesh because there really is nothing for them to gain! How naive can people be. This is very sad indeed.
From what I find by reading The Daily Star is that most Bangladeshis do not like the US, but welcome the money and resources it provides with open arms. There is so much support for the terrorists in the world, and Bengalees are just part of the problem, whether abroad or in Bangladesh, by not condemning the terrorists. If the US and its allies were so bad, why are the Sunnis/foreign fighters against the Iraqi people? Why are the Afghans not fighting in droves--it is only the Taliban.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. Bangladesh and its people need to look inside and when they see terrorists amongst them, they should try to eliminate them. Waiting for the
government to do it will see the country go straight into the hands of the terrorists.
