Outsourced Army...!

hi friends,
Capitalist Economy is taking us where no one has ever thought of. Latest is the private companies involved in Iraq. 
when the dead bodies of US soldiers started arriving in American soil, a lot of voices started gaining momentum against the very reason of invading Iraq and the gains US so far aquired against terrorism. With the presidential election round the corner, even the most powerful man of the world could not afford to keep a close eye. But he can also not even think of pulling back from this energy filled middle east. What will happen to those companies who has so much of stakes involed in 'rebuilding of Iraq'? Here came the capitalism to save them. A new thought has been given. Companies are called to tackle this grave situation and make profits. Private security firms are given contract to put their man to help US platoons. These companies immediately went to thrid world countries, more perticularly in South American countries, to recruite skilled work force. These people are being offered $ 1000- $3000 per month to go & wage a war against terrorism. Many of US armed personnel have left US Army to join these companies at higher positions with higher salaries.
This is called a win- win situaltion. Now if any person dies fighting terrorists in Iraq, another is recruited in latin America. One more poor gets a high paid job. No one is complaining now as there are no more US casualties. Petrolium companies are happy as their petrolium contracts are secured now. Mr. president is also happy that he has devised the much needed solution to a very grave problem which was threatening to undermine the  very basis of Iraq War.

what you say guys...?

Kiska Kashmir

it seems that finally kashmir-movement has got the support from its most unlikely corner, the few of celebrities and intellectuals of India. recently Arundhati Roy said that India should give away what kashmiries want. the AZADI from India. the dying movement has got some real impetus from the recent Amarnath row. now the anti India campaign is at the pinnacle since the rise of millitancy in valley. but the real question now is: whom do the valley & kashmiries belong to? should it be gifted to Pakistan or it be left as free independent country? will it be able to survive as an independent nation? how will it meet its requirements of oil, food and commerce? a completely land locked country with so less of modes of transport & communication, would always be dependent on the mercy of its neibours. with a hegemonistic country like China, would it ever be sure of its future? the market of the fragmenting Pakistan is neither as big nor as well connected to support the development of the region. moreover the region may fall prey to the islamic militia (Neighbouring taliban)and terrorism,creating a permanent threat to India. US may find it a stretagically better placed base against china. so finally Pakistan won't gain as ISI people feel. but should India pay the ever increasing price not only in monetary terms but also in terms of loss of lives and its image.

Driving Decency

i feel that a civilized society is recognised how it behaves on the road. whether on a vehical or as a pedestrian, if citizens are law abiding then the society is based on honest and just platform.
