WorLd??

So it seems Bush is winning the 2004 elections. Frankly I had expected Senator Kerry to win . So did most of my net buddies. But how can anyone predict what the americans would do . Now ,that its almost sure (statistically ,the television is blaring out),what is Bush administration going to do that is going to change the life of millions of people again. They have done it twice in the last term . Watching Rambo III , showed me americans at their hipocritical best . " What are you russians doing here. These are proud people,fighting for their freedom. We made the same mistake . We already had our vietnam ". And some years later we have American special forces running around the same country confused , cursing 'those damn' Muslims for making them part their loving families and fighting jehadis . Now whats left of a country that was devoloping by stride during the mid 70's . How long is it going to take to reuild it all.

But hey ,who remembers Afghnistan when we've got better Iraq(or I'raq for the americans). Saddam ,street smart, had run a country to its peak from god knows what condition. And in a few strokes of master manipulation of media we have 51% of the americans thinking saddam had direct proven contacts with Osama (survey just before the iraq invation ). CNN even had its own snazzy tune composed during sept 11,for a dramatic entry (filmie ishtyle) of the knight Bush. Both CNN and BBC covered the action enthusiastically(in the beginning).Then it just didnt stop.Hasnt,even now.Bombs going off daily,suicide bombers,pampered americans going back home after the unbeleivable stay in the ultra modern city.

Now where are they going to take us. North Korea has already been fixed on . We are going to have a tea party there for sure and soon. And when do we directly come in contact with all this. I mean India does star in most of the possible political scenarios drawn up by Americans(something like India taking over Australia through Sri Lanka in one of the ludlum novels!!),along with pakistan too in some of them. Lets wait and see. Hopefully i'll be in one of those european neutral countries by then .Enjoying the calmness of the lakes and gazing at the clear skies and holding the had of some future beloved of mine.
