US policy

Would the Americans welcome the foreign hordes with garlands, bow down their heads, entertain the marauders with drink and dance?

US President George Bush desired so from the Afghans and Iraqis when his troops invaded and occupied those countries.

Today the US is expiating its crime and paying a heavy price for occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq.

The number of US servicemen killed in the Korean War was 54,246 and 90,198 were killed and 153,303 wounded in the Vietnam War. How many US servicemen and civilians are going to be killed and wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq and in the so called US war on international terrorism?

US President George Bush calls Iraq, Iran and North Korea an axis of evil. Would it be a mistake if someone call the US, Israel and the UK an axis of devil? After invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, which country the US is going to attack next on the pretext of eliminating terrorists? Syria, Pakistan, Iran or North Korea?

We have witnessed the brutal occupation and malevolence of Israel on Palestine for over half a century and blind US support to Israel. And now we find the US following in the footsteps of Israel in Afghanistan and Iraq.

US President George Bush blamed Saudi born billionaire Osama bin Laden for 9/11 . He also blamed Saddam Hossain for possessing weapons of mass destruction. The US President killed and maimed thousands of Afghans but he failed to capture Osama bin Laden. George Bush also killed and maimed thousands of men, women and children in Iraq and arrested Saddam Hossain but miserably failed to find any weapon of mass destruction.

We deeply feel and strongly believe that the hard facts and actual reasons for 9/11 and US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq are as follows:-

Israeli occupation, oppression and suppression of the unarmed Palestinians, the pain and pang, despair and frustration of the Palestinians and the Arabs and blind US support to Israel for over half a century aroused some people to frenzied action and to hijack some US planes and crash those against the Twin Towers of New York.

President George Bush attacked and occupied Afghanistan to divert the attention of his people from the controversial and manipulated US presidential election , 2000 and to show the Americans his power to avenge 9/11.

Although with US logistic support Israeli bombers attacked and destroyed a nuclear power reactor in Iraq in 1981, the US invaded and occupied Iraq in 2002 , on the pretext that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, to help Israel consolidate its power and position in the Middle East and to build up a gargantuan US empire in Asia and Africa.

Today the US train is derailed and fallen into the tunnel with no light at the end of it. President George Bush is misguided, ill informed and crudely advised by Secretary of State Colin Powell and Defence Secretary Rumsfeld at home and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and some of other sycophants like Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi etc. etc. abroad.

Would the next president of the US, the incumbent or John Kerry, be able to rescue the country from the dangerous course?
