Why blame America?
Ayon, Finance & Banking, DU
For the last few months, there is a rush of letters blaming America for its hellish act on Iraq and other acts around the whole world, including its role in Israel-Palestine conflict. However, an important point those letters avoided is why America not other countries are doing this. Because America has the power to do this, the other countries don't have. We don't know what Russia, the United kingdom or France would do if they had the power like America. So we should not blame America only. We should unite against all the superpowers. When the USSR had the same power like America its role in keeping the world peaceful was not quite satisfactory, rather it tried to capture Afghanistan. I think it would act the same way as the US if it had that power. Maybe, it would try to establish Communism instead of capitalism. No difference. Even I think if Bangladesh had the power like the US, then we would not be much better than them. You can disagree but I don't think our politicians are very peaceful. Only having power can prove whether we are peaceful or not. You can compare it with being corrupt. You can prove someone corrupt if he has the chance to be so. A secretary can be a corrupt man , not a farmer. So why blame America? It is doing what any country would do. Alexander the Great tried to capture the whole world because he had the power to do it, Napoleon and Hitler overestimated their power . Time has changed and superpowers still want to capture the world. Instead of arms and soldiers, their present weapons are now free world, globalisation and technology. And technology is mostly abused in the media, you know already. Some of you in your letters tried to establish that the Muslim world is good and others are bad. I don't think that is true. So don't blame America alone, blame the uncivilised world we live in and try to make it civilised.
