Middle east burning

For centuries the brothers of the middle east have been at war with each other and the rest of the world, destroying and creating civilizations, states and cultures accross the globe. There is no region in this world that has not been directly influenced by them. Indian subcontinent was divided into many states, the social fabric got permanently altered, fractured. More recently, Afganisthan, Iraq, now lebanon are in a state of absolute anarchy. We have the state of Pakisthan reeling towards anarchy, and already there are moves which indicate syria and Iran as the next stop.

Imagine a situation when Iraq, iran, Syria, Lebanon, Afghnisthan, Pakisthan have all collapsed. They will be the greatest threat to the world. There is no way to win against such an enmy, who is not seen, and like cancer spreads into the enmies nationhood. A very recent example is India. Till now India always believed that its muslims were moderate and did not associate with any terrorist activities on her soil or abroad. To her utter ashtonishment, she found that this was just a time being phenomenon. Though majority of her muslim population remain to keep away from such activities, the influence has started to make inroads. One can fight an external enmy, but to fight on internal one, is a different challenge. And she might find herself wanting there. There does not seem to be any way out.

The US is enagaged in military conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan today. Sooner than later it may find itself at war with more than a handful of islamic nations. There is no going back.

The war has already begun...
