True Enemies
Reader comment on item: Bibliography – My Writings on U.S. Policy toward Radical Islam
in response to reader comment: Defining Terrorism

Submitted by Fuad Ahmed (Pakistan), Dec 25, 2008 at 15:52

Yes you are so true Rebecca. The solution lies in finding the true enemy. We have a local idiom here in Pakistan that says "a clap involves both hands". US enforced, supported and even financed this radical-"ism" to break Russia apart and now getting it back on the face. There is an equal and opposite reaction to an action.

Anyways, It would be an honor if you and the writer of the post could tell me that the War against terror roots either from America taking actions to bring peace in world or is it America's effort to continue ruling the world? What my perception is being in a country who holds responsibility to strike against Terrorists on the expense of the lives of its own citizen, on behalf of America, that this terrorism thing is just fabricated to invade countries to serve the purpose of Ruling the world. The world is still being the playground for powerful to play with the weaker but yes, now they need different "noble causes" to cover their faces.
