There is no doubt that US acts as bodyguard of Israel and has been protecting more of its interests than even its own lately, but thats what i said about the mistakes of a few governments in my last message. But lets also accept that we have failed to acknowledge good deeds that US has done. (yeah funny aint it, but they have done a few)
Case in point, Bosnia. Some thing which we hate to accept and fail to acknowledge is the role of USA and Israel in saving Bosnian muslims from total annhilation and genocide at the hands of serbians in the Balkan conflict of early 90s. Call it their guilty conscience of failing to act early in the genocide of WW2 or something else, it was not any muslim country, but US and Israel which first came to the aid of Bosnians with economic and military support. So inspite of europe's vehement objections, a muslim state was created within mainland european by the US which also is something we have failed to acknowledge.
Two more points i'd like to make here. Firstly, if WE had as much economic and military power as US has right now, i shudder to think what crimes we ourselves would have committed in the name of our ghairat, hamiyat, jazba-e-imani and our cultural, moral and social values. We surely wouldve left US way behind in what they are doing now. Secondly, all US is doing right now is safeguarding its national interests by any means possible, be it right or wrong. If seen in their national perspective, they are doing absolutely the right thing. <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
Can we also claim to be doing the same for our country?
