CAN TERRRORISTS DESTROY THE WORLD?

By Arthur Zulu

Terrorism. Let’s find some synonyms for that word: Organized violence. Genocide. Annihilation. Mass Suicide.

I wanted to add these words: nationalism, freedom fighter. But I find thatrepparttar 132637 words don’t really fit inrepparttar 132638 definition of terrorism.

I find other words: Hollywood, Cinema, Acting, and Dreaming. And I am surprised that these words are synonymous with terrorism. How?

Suppose you were some precocious artist in Hollywood who dreamt up a last day film involvingrepparttar 132639 knocking down ofrepparttar 132640 World Trade Center,repparttar 132641 Pentagon and perhapsrepparttar 132642 White House before September 11, 2000. Let me tell you what will happen to you.

First, you will be taken to a psychiatric Hospital for brain check. Then if you were found to be of sound mind, you would be taken byrepparttar 132643 FBI for questioning to determinerepparttar 132644 source of your Satanic inspiration. And as you would be unable to prove it, you will be taken to a penitentiary in Guantanamo near Cuba -- far away fromrepparttar 132645 United States, so as not to influencerepparttar 132646 good guys. Of course your terrific film would be censured.

But now that your dream is real --repparttar 132647 Twin Towers collapsed in broad daylight taking away thousands (no thanks torepparttar 132648 terrorists), you will berepparttar 132649 most sought after person on earth to dream uprepparttar 132650 sequel.

Sorepparttar 132651 saying goes in some quarters that these evil boys will someday destroyrepparttar 132652 world. Whether you call them nationalists, freedom fighters, terrorists orrepparttar 132653 basest creatures on earth, does not matter. You may go torepparttar 132654 School of Semantics.

Terrorists have a lot of factors in their favor. One. They have huge sums of money. Two. They haverepparttar 132655 scientific know-how to take care of their deadly weapons. Three. They have a very large network spread acrossrepparttar 132656 globe. Four. Modern technology have made communication and access to information easy for their members. Five. They are inconspicuous -- very hard to find. Your friend, neighbor, or that your prodigal son, may be a terrorist. Six. They believe that they are fighting a just cause, and are prepared to die. Seven. They are prepared to userepparttar 132657 deadliest weapons on earth to advance their cause. Eight. They are constantly changing tactics.

WILL THE EARTH EXPLODE IN A POPULATION TIME BOMB?

By Arthur Zulu

This is not a tale out ofrepparttar 132635 jungle. Nor is it a script of a cave-dwelling bush tribe in some tropical forest. It may turn out to berepparttar 132636 tragic story of mankind.

The earth’s population has been steadily onrepparttar 132637 rise. From one billion inrepparttar 132638 eighteenth century to over six billion inrepparttar 132639 twenty-first century. And this increase has gone to exacerbaterepparttar 132640 poverty, hunger, disease, housing, unemployment and crime crisis. Public infrastructure have reached breaking point.

Consider these reports: “It is as possible that large portions ofrepparttar 132641 earth will be turned into desert byrepparttar 132642 pressures of unmanageable population and poverty as by a nuclear holocaust” -- The New York Times.

“The hunger problem today is vastly different from that ofrepparttar 132643 past . . . Now there is so little food in so many parts ofrepparttar 132644 world. …” -- Time Magazine.

“The world is onrepparttar 132645 verge of a human catastrophe. . . . whole continents have seen their hopes forrepparttar 132646 future disappear” --The Guardian.

The situation is so desperate that more than half ofrepparttar 132647 earth’s population is now living belowrepparttar 132648 poverty line, without any hope of survival.

Already in war torn lands, people are eating grasses, insects, and worms, while some are selling their children for food. Butrepparttar 132649 grimmer fact is that these things are now happening in nations not at war. The cold pangs of hunger and death is grippingrepparttar 132650 poor.

Then comesrepparttar 132651 big question: Is it true that there is no food to feedrepparttar 132652 growing population? The answer is a resounding no!

“According torepparttar 132653 United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)” reportsrepparttar 132654 Toronto Star, “there is already enough grain grown globally to feed everyone on earth . . . aboverepparttar 132655 minimum acceptable level”. But why is there no food forrepparttar 132656 population?

One major problem isrepparttar 132657 attitude of political rulers. Think ofrepparttar 132658 trillions of dollars spent each year on armaments for prosecuting senseless wars. This is not to talk ofrepparttar 132659 huge sum of money spent by heads of poor countries on white elephant projects like building impressive cathedrals and golden palaces, staging elaborate campaigns and state weddings, including foreign tours and allowances.
