Technology of Uncle Sam [Archives:2007/1065/Letters to the Editor]

I don't know what's wrong with the people who seem to have been so impressed by the advanced technology of Uncle Sam. In my view, his technology and satellites are nothing but just watershed. Why? Because it badly failed to determine whether Saddam had developed or possessed WMD, and secondly whether he had had any link with Al Qaeda or not…but we witnessed that it was just a lie-cum-trick to occupy Iraq. Interestingly, his satellites are unable to focus on Israel's nuke programme. And now the same story he is repeating in the case of Iran's programme. But let's not forget that Iran has not had so nefarious designs as Israel has.
According to reports reaching here, Uncle Sam has badly stuck in Iraq and some say Bush has asked Demos to do something to get him out of where his troops are fighting for their survival rather than retain their occupation anymore. Don't you believe that? Wait, wait, wait…. let me take you to what remarked and testified by Karvin Tillman, brother of US soldier, Pat Tillman, who was killed in Afghanistan, knowingly or unknowingly, by his own comrades. But on the contrary, Bush declared him as the martyr and hero of America nation.
Likewise, every man and child in Iraq has turned out to be a staunch supporter to militant groups, no matter, they are Al Qaeda, local groups or whosoever they are, but being fully backed by the common people. And the wall-diplomacy adopted by Bush is in fact to save his own troops from the open attacks by the said groups.
Three years back, Bush and his allies fully rejoiced the fall of Baghdad and then Saddam's execution but he was unaware of the next move of hide-and-seek-and-shoot in the streets of Baghdad and that's what has given a tough time to Bush and his troops. They are reported to have been feeling unhappy at what's going on over there so far.
Hats off to those youth who are fighting for their national solidarity rather than surrendering to the vested interest of Uncle Sam. Let me ask only one question: When a Iraqi militant is killed, he is indeed a martyr but when an American soldier is killed, he is termed as heroic martyr. Is that what God wants them to fight, shed blood and get titles like that?
