The British Royal Air force must have added new statistics to the performance of their new Jets by the time the article is over. The American forces must be getting ready to use their latest war machinery in the new battle field. The Libyan territory or The” Gaddaffi Zone”. This new war-zone formed as a consequence of NATO treaty. This action of allied forces of bombing Libya is the most condemnable action of the present decade. It overrides the now fake promises of better world by the Obama’s, Cameroons or Ban-Ki-moon.
It is rightly said that public memory is very short-term as hardly less than a decade has passed off the now termed disastrous action of US, the Afghan war or the Iraq war, which was discussed in every political, social, economical circle as a drain of public wealth in the name of security. That even put the American economy to undergo a cycle of economic recession in the long run. Nothing has been learned from the past as it seems America still follows its old rule of war as the best option of revival of economy since the 1928 recession. The WW-II, The Vietnamese action, The Afghan action, the gulf war, the WMD war and The Iraqi War and the latest Libyan war. It is to be observed none of the war has ever been fought in US territory .Every time a war has happened US has entered to the market of the region. The Libyan action just repeats the history. UK and France both have been waiting to revive their recession-hit economy. War seems a perfect bail out action. Quoting Gandhian philosophy ”War is a never ending process to reach peace”. The outcome would always be a large death toll.
Human lives are also lost in the natural disasters. Hardly a fortnight has passed when Japan bore the brunt of deadliest natural disaster of all time. The nature in its most damageable force turned the urban center of Japan to rubble. The disaster got magnified with major nuclear reactors getting damaged and radiations being discharged uncontrollably crossing dangerous levels. Such tsunami exposes the helplessness of human towards the action of nature. The unfriendly attitude of human to nature is returned back so fiercely by nature. This creates new debates like disaster preparedness, nuclear technology and its safety, economic reserves for funds, population safety, human settlements etc. Japan with damages to its nuclear facility has unknowingly harmed its population and nature equally with dangerous levels of nuclear radiations.
The nuclear term reminds of the historical Indo-US nuclear treaty. The Indo-US nuclear deal has again come at the center stage of all debates, all thanks to Wiki leaks, a whistleblower activism organization which claims of authenticate cable and in-turn exposes leaks in the system. The issue might have turned political but has certainly exposed the nervousness of accepting technology as the solution to all, by India. The Indian attitude of claiming every invention of today, to Indians directly or indirectly, or otherwise regarding such invention not worthy of mention has been a run down on “INDIA” image. Such skeptical attitude has projected the Indo-US deal as India’s surrender to US. The deal acts as only a facilitation treaty for technological exchange, than a binding treaty. Utilizing the facility is completely an Indian wish. If in future India develops an in-house technology to fulfill its growing energy demand then the deal would loose its relevance automatically.
The economic health of India has created new avenues, or else where is it seen worlds richest Gates and Buffet at the same time in the country. Philanthropical actions seems the first step of the US rich to gain Indian confidence. It certainly puts a question that such socially motivated action sees a splurge of foreign funds which is an add on over our budget so somewhere it might as well inflate our economy. With money coming from such non profit organization directly to the pockets of poorest would certainly lead them to spend more and hence inflating the economy. Coming to a conclusion so early would be wrong, best suitable would be to wait and watch or implement existing government programs.

The article above is an extremely realistic observation by Abhilash Mohapatra. No wonder "war is a never ending process to reach peace" and this fact will haunt us for centuries to come...
