After a month of the incident in New York, when the strike against terrorism is getting intense in the South-Asian region, schools in neighboring Pakistan remain closed, Exams are rescheduled, while youths are engaged in rioting and protesting on the streets of Karachi. Why? Because they have been deprived off their educational activities, which keep them busy and have been sucked in radical groups and organizations that use their energy and strength in their own destructive goals.
The more peaceful youths are also now deprived of good professional education, which they wished to seek abroad mostly the US, where now they will be called followers of the BIN LADEN, substituted for the devil, I guess? And in the US itself, the capital of racism and discrimination, worsen their fears. Though this may seem as an apparent or temporary problem, its affects will span over decades, and in the fields of economy and professional skills which these third world nations are already short of.
The third loss, is life itself, which is the most saddening. I quote the Koran "If you kill one, its as if you kill a whole race", which is so true, And killing youths is even worse. Who knows the girl, who died out of the bombing in Kabul, would be the Mother Teresa of tomorrow? Who knows one of those Afghani orphans who get killed because of famine who would be the Albert Einstein of tomorrow? We should value each life on an equal basis, the lives of those who got killed in the WTC were as important as those who are now getting killed because of these attacks on Afghanistan.
It's sad to say, but i believe all this has been caused by the ignorance of the Western world, which is why it got those reminders on the 11th of September. It still fails to understand its mistakes. It's time they learned something from them.
