FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD, PART FOUR
"History is not just a window to the past, it also the gateway to the future"
Revolutions are a messy business, luckily during the war of independence the US did not suffer as badly because the rulers in the Great Britain were so far away. In India also the British found it easier to let go then to bring huge forces over to subdue the locals.
A revolution in a divided nation is of course a different beast. Either side is bent on destroying the other, and the voices of the middle and the peace makers are drowned out at first and then eliminated. Intellectuals are silenced so are the clergy and those who seek a compromise and a middle ground. Or as in the words of George W. Bush, " either you are with us or you are against us", those seeking a middle ground need not apply.
After the civil war in Rwanda some DJs were tried for crimes against humanity, inciting racial hatred and dehumanizing the opposition, today our political commentators are doing the same.
LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE
