Osama—a Fantasy?

AMID US President’s visit to UK—this week-end—another bomb blast in Turkey coincided with the voyage. Massive public demonstrations have been held to express torment against the policy adopted by the alliance of Bush and Blair.

Their popularity graph has already gone down and is going down every day and now this coalition is adopting measures to regain their trailing popularity. So they wish to have a foe, and for that purpose the rich Muslims are the easiest target and they are trying to rope them in on their side to bring about the desired results.

Turkey—in a way—is a secular realm and Islam, after the fall of the Ottoman Empire is only a Western epitome of a modern concept of western-govern notion—little to do with the pragmatic Islamic ideology.

Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden are the brainchild of American CIA to establish the monarchy of Bush and his partners for another term in the White House. It is a pity that the ‘most wanted man’ on the earth is not yet been caged

As a matter of fact there is no Osama bin Laden, if there was any-one, he was created to serve American interest in Afghanistan during the Russo-Afghan war and now the same icon with the symbol of Al-Qaeda is—prima facie—serving peculiar interests in the silhouette of ‘terrorist’—in every alarm stricken country.

And the most modern state of Turkey is no exception. The core of American foreign policy is that they have no principle; their only code is to serve their specific interests—in the style that suits the masters of today’s world.

Any way we salute the people of Great Britain and the Prince of Wales on their principled stand in regard to the oppressed people of the world. The widespread demos—in London and elsewhere in UK—are a clear manifestation vis-à-vis this reality.
