We thought that America is the safest place on earth, we thought America knows how to protect its citizens. America ruthlessly has protected its interests even at the cost of other countires but we thought its citizens have the best possible life and dont have to live in terror.
Whats happening in Boston is a strong reminder that life is fragile, its a reminder that it takes very little to teorrorise even a ctrong country like America.
Two young brothers, just 19 and 26, living the free life, having the dreams decided to unlease mayhem to Boston. Why young guys like them, smart, having varied interests, having the full life ahead of them would decide to kill knowing fully well that that they wouldnt excape capture and death? Its horrifying yet facinating to wonder how fragile is mind and how it can be radicalised and turn it into anything, anything deadly that it becomes machines controlled by thoughts implanted in their minds, either by evil people or evils happening around them!
Its more than three days, one of them, the younger one, is still at large! Seems also likely he may have escaped and I have a feeling that he may never be captured and may again return to haunt and taunt America (Update: He got caught, bloodied, lonely, hiding in the backyard of a house, in a boat).
We like America. We want to live in America. Thats vested interest to have a good life. We somewhere in some corner of our heart also feel small joy when America is tormented. That is because, we feel America has the solution, rightly or worngly, but being utterly senfish, it doesnt want to solve India's problem, that is bleeding her and making life, very uncertain. Feel this Boston and many more, God forbid, might nudge America to mend its ways and go after terrorism everywhere to truely make the world a safe place. We want America to be rightous since we feel it has in her what it takes for her to rid the world of evil. However, she is also evil and hence it doesnt get the sympathy it deserves when two young guys, torment her and bring her to its knees.
There will be theories galore on how these two angelic, handsome brothers got turned into evil incarnates? Someone will say they were misfits and was finding it difficult to fit in. I dont think so. They looked every inch the american dudes living the good lives.
Its more likely that they didnt approve of something America did or stand for and likely it can be traced back to their country of origin.
I feel internet is facilitating birth of these radicalised misguided youths who are identified in internets and then groomed to turn them into robots who would take revenge for perceived/real misdeeds of the country whose food has nurtured them!
In future, virtual forensic science would be a subject which would be critical for national security of many countries.
The irony is that its alway the innocent people who pay for the sins and misdeeds of people in charge, powerful people beyound the reach who are protected and live in safe environments.
The world is increasingly becoming an unsafe place to live in. It will continue to be so unless everyone on earth get a decent life, good enough life that they will fear to loose that life. Now, there are too many living marginalised lives, trying the grasp anything that appears wee bit more noble and bigger than the sad and sick life they have. Unfortunately, human beings are made selfish and shortlights, the people in goverments cannt think beyound their next two generations and live in the false belief that money could buy them and their families immunity from all the ills that pervades the world. If population is controlled and proper eudcation is provided and enough is invested in roads and so on, then am sure terrorism can be defeated even if it takes long time. However, these are not being done and so misguided people will try to find salvation the false hope of a pure and heavenly life after death, the life they could find while living. This is the untimate tragedy and irony of our present time.
Pray for Peace.
