A Belligerent World

A passenger airliner carrying more than hundred civilians is blown down by a missile somewhere near Ukraine. Why? Because some revolt group treated it is a potential threat. The price those people on board had to pay because someone had a doubt in his mind about the authenticity of the plane being a passenger aircraft. A state of pandemonium on the Gaza strip with shells fired each day causing uncountable loss of life and property. Why? Because Palestinians and Jews want the strip of land which had been promised to them long back. Iraq and Syria are under the clutches of ISIS and numerous war crimes are committed under the name of establishment of an Islamic state. Even UN seems like a toothless watch dog and is no more than a spectator. Fight for sovereignty and to establish hegemony has gone so bitter that barbarity has reached its abject. The present scenario depicts how diabolical are our intentions and how are we reaching a new low every day. We see people justifying their malicious intent and giving justification for war crimes. How can they be audacious enough to treat the life of people as collateral damage? What good would be that promised piece of land (Gaza) if there would be no people left to live on it. How has ISIS been able to annex city after city undauntedly, committing atrocities wherever it has occupied. The beheading of a journalist and then broadcasting it in public to spread mass trepidation is a stigma on humanity. The resentment of Russia which it has been spawning for decades has resulted in annexation of Crimea. Actions have repercussions and the result is that entire area is now a warzone. The chaos seems never ending which has continued for generations. Sometimes one can really wonder that whether we have learnt any lesson from two world wars .The ongoing scenario favors the opinion that we haven’t evolved much and if the situation is not contained then this definitely harbingers another world war.
