A LIST OF THINGS IN COMMON
We believe we are different, we believe we are better, we believe we have nothing in common, but take a closer look.
Previously I compared the Taliban to the Narco traffickers, but take another look now, it is not just these two, lets see, what do the Narco traffickers and the Taliban have in common with the mafia, the street gangs, the religious regimes, the communist regimes. Look at the turf wars of Mexico and the other South/ Central American countries,or the Taliban and or Al Qaeda in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia and Afghanistan, the rapes the murders, the oppression and the fear are the tactics used by all these thugs, assassinations and the killings of the so called guilty (opposition) and the innocent without any justification and recourse go on daily. Power is usurped, stolen or bought, corruption of the system for personal and private gains is the ultimate and the only motivating factor.Bribery and extortion is there, and promotion of the most corrupt, corruptible and the vicious is par for the course of these.
Then what are we to make of the "legitimate governments" that act in such a fashion that it is harder and harder to see any difference between say a drug cartel, an Islamic terrorist organization and a "democratically elected" government. As the lines blur and the abhorrent actions of murder, kidnapping , torture and even rape become a legitimate policy sanctioned by the representatives of the people. Bribery corruption and extortion and even blackmail are par for the course in daily governmental operations in promoting the cause of peace and stability. How do we know the difference between legitimate and illegal conducts. What makes us better, I am just curious.
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
