War is not always the answer

It is my view that NATO is weilding power far beyond it's sphere of influence. If the people of Libya have any problem, it is for the UN General Assembly to send some Peace Keeping force...not let an organisation affiliated to some Security Council member states to intervene. By doing this, NATO has absolved of all rights against terror attacks. Maybe, NATO has to be dismembered.

Today, it's said that the US killed Osama. I don't buy any of it. As far as I know, the pics have been there long before today. I guess the validity of American reports can be gauged from the way the WMD were found in Iraq. It is imperative that India doesn't get hyped or raise the pitch over the issue with Pakistan.

Wars have to stop somewhere, sometime...atleast the ones started by someone or a bunch of people. Otherwise, it will consume the ones who fight it, even righteously. Look at Sri Lanka. What started as decades old war against the LTTE has made them so used to war that even after Prabhakaran died, President Rajapaksha and military guy Fonseka has started fighting over who should emerge as the winner. They are already fighting the next war amongt themselves just as the UN is sanctioning an investigation into their atrocities against the Tamils.

If there is any war that has to be fought, it is against the software tycoons coming around as CEOs of big software and cell phone companies, who are aiding all the military and terrorist machinery. These need to be hanged by the balls (to borrow Putin's language).
