It is truly sad when disasters are man made. Iraq was an oasis of secularism amidst strong Islamic countries under Saddam Hussain. Although he was autocratic and responsible for many misdeeds, he was truly secular in his outlook and modern in his approach. But now after George Bush, a born again Christian, dislodged Saddam and tried to impose his brand of democracy, the result is there for all to see. Iraq, such a beatiful country, with such a rich history and a cradle of ancient civilisation has become a pathetic case. All because of one man - George Bush. Closer home, India, except for the Kashmir problem, and stray cases of violence enjoyed comparitive communal harmony. But after the rath yatra of LK Advani and the demolition of the Babri Masjid, violence has spread to every nook and corner of the country. How one man can cause so much damage!!! We are losing whatever progress we are making on the economic field by this mindless violence which is creating barriers between communities. In all this, we so called educated and enlightened people also have to share the blame. We have kept silent just because the violence has not knocked on our doors. We are complacent because we have good, high paying jobs abroad, and are not touched by the violence. How long can this go on? Where will it lead us all? We all need to ponder over this.
