Can any one
understand why American State Department is so engrossed in Sri Lanka’s elimination of terrorists and how
the end of terrorism was brought
about more than three years ago,
when today in America every aspect of life seems
to be degenerating ?
In an
Elementary School in Connecticut
26 persons, of them 20 children between the ages of 5 to 6 years
were massacred by Adam Lanza a 20 year
old youth with a personality disorder who killed his mother before massacring the
Children. How many more of such youth are there in America , what remedies should be
taken to avoid a recurrence of such
disasters, and what could be the causes that led to such abominable mental
disorder amoung the American youth
?
These are
the matters that should concern the President of America and his Government
more than how the end of terrorism came about in Sri
Lanka or how Sri Lanka deals with reconciliation of Communities. Leave that to Sri Lanka they are better equipped
to handle it as the Communities are more
or less of the same culture and had been living
together for generations.
Are the
cause of mental disorder amoung the American Children related
to the way the American Government conducts its foreign policies ? It is well worth studying.
The President and his State Departmen carry out their wars without
least consideration for the deaths of
civilians, children , men and women.
President Obama supports the drone attacks which his Administration does
not want to talk about: “the use of unmanned aircraft to target and kill
suspected terrorists—is classified information.”

Islamabad (CNN) -- On March 17, 2011 a drone attack killed
at least 40 members of a Wazir tribal Jirga, which was resolving a land
ownership dispute among sub-tribes in Waziristan, a mountainous region in
northwest Pakistan,
according to local media reports.
The report claimed the Jirga was not the intended target and the
predator was chasing a car before finally executing five people without any
trial or due process near the Jirga. While this predator was hovering in the
area, sophisticated cameras allegedly picked up images of a bigger gathering.
Without appearing to have any intelligence or knowledge of its target, it fired
four more missiles at the congregation. (http://edition.cnn.com/2012/10/04/opinion/pakistan-drone-attacks-akbar/index.html)
Isn’t Adam Lanza’s criminal act of massacring the
children in an elementary school in Connecticut
symbolic of America’s aggressive foreign policy
? America
does in a big way in Iraq, Afghanistan,
Libya, Syria and Pakistan what Adam Lanza with his personality disorder did in his “ small way according to the mental image of what his elders the American soldiers do in these distant places
outside America.
America destroys every thing in the
interest of the Security of America. America uses guns and bombs, not words and dialogue in settling problems “
it creates” with other Sovereign States.
It threatens wide spread bombardments and drone attacks Nations that violate human rights -as
understood by America. But America is least concerned that these
countries such as Sri Lanka, Iran, Libya, Syria, Cuba are doing their best to develop their countries in their own way, develop
atomic energy for peaceful purposes , or control rebels and terrorists to find peace and security for their own people.
There had
been many more Adam Lanzas in America. This is not the first time that youths with
mental disorders like Adam Lanza went on rampage shooting children, teachers or innocent
people. There are nine such reported cases of
massacres. Each time there was
such tragedy America
begins a debate on Gun Control, which is soon forgotten to be reignite when they
are forced into another. Is the gun
culture the sole course of these psychological disturbance amoung the youths such as these or are there other
factors leading these youths to behave irrationally ?
Unfortunately
this is about America that passes Resolutions against Sri Lanka which
eliminated terrorism in all legitimacy. Sri Lanka finished off with terrorism three
years ago but America and
the International Community are still trying to take revenge from Sri Lanka for
what it did after suffering under terrorism for thirty years. They pass
resolutions against Sri Lanka in Human Rights Council, threatens to take the Sri
Lanka Armed Forces before a Tribunal for war crimes, some even accuse Sri Lanka
for Genocide. Incites Ban ki Moon of UN to appoint panels to
investigate Sri Lanka.
Louise
Fre’chette of Canada, who Chairs the panel of the Senior Advisory Group ( the Peace Keeping Panel) of
the UNO, insults one of Sri Lanka’s great heroes Major General Shavendra Silva (despite
the fact that she cannot hold a candle to him.) , who risked his life directing
his soldiers in the midst of the shooting terrorist in the military operation for the elimination of terrorism , by undemocratically
refusing to be heard at the Panel to
which he was elected by the Member States.
America
seems to be cursed transmitting its own “ gun culture” to a psychologically
affected generation of youths because of its deplorable attitude towards countries like Sri Lanka which rid itself of
the terrorism and is making a considerable effort to bring the Communities
together in its own way despite being constantly hampered by the unconcerned,
International Community, using Channel UK 4 to make false documentaries, and
using the UN HRC led by a Tamil
woman, bought over and paid for by the pro-terrorist Tamil
Diaspora, and the killing of innocents children men and women in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan , Libya and
Pakistan.
The
repercussions coming back to originators of ill will towards others cannot be laughed off as nonsense. Because “
ill will” is a mental state a tremendous power of energy that can back
fire. When the “ ill will” is coming
from a Nation, it is a collective energy that can strike back with greater
effect. That is why it is believable
that what America suffers from today is that great “ ill will “ with which it has been carrying out a vengeance
towards Sri Lanka hampering its
development and stopping the people of Sri Lanka from enjoying a hard earned peace, and American
wars in other countries that still see innocent beings killed to provide
security to America.
President
Barack Obama should at least now, at the beginning of his second term of
Presidency reconsider his foreign policy as carried out by his Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs Hillary Clinton
The world had great expectation from Barack Obama when he was elected the
64th President of USA, most
of them having learnt about his goodness through his writings.
If words
written by Barack Obama in his books and
spoken in captivating oratory could be translated into action there is no doubt the world would have been a
peaceful place to live . But since Barack Obama became the President of USA, the man has got separated from his words and
become no more than another Nixon, a Reagan , a Clinton or a Bush.
That is
because in USA there is a government within a Government and no effort of the
President Barack Obama would be able to
draw the chariot of USA
Government away from the hacked out path of aggressivity, authoritative domination over developing
Nations, war, bombardment, arming rebels against Governments, maintaining torture camps, torturing of
prisoners, passing resolutions against
nations who are peaceful and non
aggressive, listening to anti-regime lobbies such as the anti Sri Lanka
pro-terrorists Tamil Diaspora, and sanctions against countries and trade
embargoes.
President
Barrack Obama who got elected as the President
of America calling for change has turned out to be not different from previous Presidents of USA. His foreign policies have not changed , and they
are still the same “issues” on which America plans its
foreign policy. Then the “issues” were oil,
and communism which were fundamental for
its intervention with the CIA for regime
change. Evidence of these most shocking “criminal “ activities of America against
democratically elected political leaders of sovereign states are numerous.
The
American CIA organized the ouster of the President of Guatamala Jacob Arbenz in
1950. America
wanted him out because it did not agree with Arbenz’s inaugural speech in which he promised to convert Guatemala from
"a backward country with a predominantly feudal economy into a modern
capitalist state."
Arbenz’s crime in the eye of America was, his being a dedicated patriot, who wanted to develop his country and give his people a better standard of living. He declared that
he intended to reduce dependency on foreign markets and dampen the influence of
foreign corporations over Guatemalan politics. He also stated that he would
modernize Guatemala's
infrastructure and do so without the aid of foreign capital.
And his land reforms affected the American United Fruit Company. He went
into exile after the CIA initiated ouster and died in Mexico.
Then it was
the turn of Salvador Allende elected President of Chile. Allende’s Socialist policies angered America
and Nixon ordered CIA and its State
Department to put pressure on Allende’s
government. The result was the Chilean Army
attack of the Moneda
Palace where Allende
committed suicide instead of being captured. It was because America
did not want a Socialist Government in Chile.
Democratically elected Mohammad Mosaddeq Prime Minister of Iran
was similarly overthrown in a coup
d’etat orchestrated by CIA in 1950. It was because of the project of
Nationalization of British Anglo Iranian Oil Company which had developed the oil fields in the Persian
Gulf. He died when he was
still under house arrest.

In 1983
United States Marines landed in Grenada
ousted Hudson Austin who had formed a Revolutionary Military Government in Grenada
. America occupied Grenada changed its
Communists Revolutionary
government and restored a Constitutional Government. ( see Wikipedia for the
respective countries)
The
American history of Regime Change
Continues for oil fields or Communist
connections.
After the terrorist
attacks of the 11 September,2001, President Bush began his witch hunt for Al
Qaida terrorists. He implicated Iraq for
terrorist connections and when the UN Security Council was still debating Iraq’s involvement In March 2003, George Bush with false
documents prepared by the Prime Minister Tony
Blair of UK declared
war on Iraq on the ground
that Iraq
has weapons of mass destruction. But
there were none.
Three years
after devastating Iraq
and killing number of Iraqi Civilians Saddam Hussein was Executed by hanging on
30 December 2006. Large numbers of
American Soldiers died, and many were maimed.
And the American war in Iraq
continues having spread to Afghanistan. The Iraq
war would bring in oil wealth, while Afghanistan’s
mineral wealth awaits to be exploited by the American Companies.
The
American people tired of the considerable
number of their children dying in the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan
wanted the American soldiers brought
back. In the 2008 Presidential Elections
Barrack Obama gave the people of America new
hope of an end to the wars and promised to bring back the American Soldiers. His election as the President of USA was to
fulfil that desire.
The
Secretaries he appoints to carry out his policies do not think like him, but
they have made him think like them. Hillary Clinton the State Secretary during the last term of
his office was unable to settle any issues.
Instead of ending wars and bringing
back the American Soldiers as he
promised, he only increased the theatres of war and sent more soldiers to fight
new wars or paid NATO to drop more
bombs. America did not make new friends,
but kept the old, but made new enemies.
He follows
plans of wars prepared by others , but has no plans of his own for peace in the
world. Because he plans every thing for
America,
without thinking of an American led plan of
peace for the world .
As Previous Presidents with
the CIA manoeuvred to their credit the deaths of many foreign National leaders, President Obama
has the deaths of Osama Bin Laden and
Colonel Gaddafi to his credit. He may be
hoping to have more in his present term of office. There is already the President of Iran and
the President of North Korea lined up without forgetting his Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton’s manoeuvres
against Sri Lanka. Recently like President George Bush threatened Iraq and warned against Chemical war, President Barack Obama too threatened Al Assad against chemical war:
“ US President Barack Obama issued a warning to Syrian President Bashar Assad on Monday not to use chemical weapons against Syrian opposition forces, saying there would be consequences if he were to do so.
He did not say how the United States might respond, but White House spokesman Jay Carney said earlier that "contingency planning" was under way when asked whether the use of military force was an option. ( http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=294498)
For his new
term of Office he had Susan.E.Rice another
Iron woman in view to carry out
his foreign policy in the State Department, but fortunately for the world she had withdrawn her candidacy. Apart from the wars of America,
America
also has another weapon it uses to bring the developing Nations under its
thumb. It is the Trade embargos that had
been going on against Cuba since 1960
and codified into Law in 1992 , to
remain as long as the Cuban Government
continues to refuse to move towards
“democratization and greater respect for human rights.”
After the
second world war the wise men of the West said no more war and thought out a
way of settling disputes amoung friends through discussion and dialog. In order to realise that
Great idea
of a world without war, they thought of
a world forum where All Sovereign States of the world could meet as equals and settle political dissensions
between Nations in dialogue. The result was the United Nation .
But to-day
UN is merely an Organisation follows the dictates of America and the West. It is only China
and Russia
that keeps a semblance of what UN was intended to be when it was established by
its forefathers, after the World Wars.
Now America
and the International Community interfere into the internal affairs of
Sovereign States of developing Nations ,
not with the previous “issues” of Communism and
oil wells, but with a cry for
Human rights, Accountability, and Democratization.
America has not still understood that
aggressivity begets aggressivity, but friendly dialog and discussion could do more to
establish good relations and stop differences with other Nations. Even with North
Korea and Iran, America should stop its aggressivity, deplorable trade embargos and sanctions etc. which are themselves violation of human rights, and are not effective means for nations to change. But America cannot think otherwise than
being aggressive and using threat.
America can learn from China and Russia instead of trying to develop
its foreign policy to counter their
influence amoung the developing
countries of the World. America has
never come forward to help financially
the developing countries without
attaching conditions to their aid
programs. America
had never been generous, having only America’s own benefits and
political security interest derived from these poor Nations without any
concern for their development and progress.
America is a Great Nation and
President Barack Obama is a good man
. But unfortunately President Barack Obama is unable to extricate
himself from the tangled spider web set up by some of the war mongering
Presidents who passed acts to please one “lobby” or another. The President Barack Obama should make null
and void some of the Congressional Acts such as
the , “..Act of Congress passed in 1990 then refurbished in 1994 that
forbids giving money to any UN body that grants membership to Palestine, and the Cuban Democracy Act etc.”
which are hackneyed, undemocratic and violate human rights.
President
Barack Obama should then step out of the conventional idea of American
leadership role, and shape America into a
generous nation friendly and peaceful, ready to discuss and solve problems
rather than resort to aggressive words of war and threat. He should move to reorganize the UNO to make
it a real independent Forum where Nations meet as equals to discuss and solve
their problems in an atmosphere of peace and cordiality.
