Our allied countries include Pakistan, yet thousands of armed Pakistanis are in the process of crossing the border to help the Taliban forces to fight the Americans. President George Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair want to get rid of evil from the world, yet we don't know what evil is and what the military targets are.

We are building up police states and waging an all out war against terrorism. And this war against terrorism is not isolated to Afghanistan but it includes also all the rouge countries as determined by the New World Order composed of the most powerful countries.

The cold war against communism and the Soviet Union has been won and now we need to fabricate another vision to keep our economies growing, the vision of an all out war on terrorism for the next expected 50 years. We are managing our economies by the expectation to wage wars. We are going to have more military expenses as the Bush administration is pushing for an anti missile defense system and for new more flexible fighter planes, and we are going to suppress civil rights as our countries are defining new legislation to fight terrorism. Yes, our economies will be growing spearheaded by the need to get rid of evil from the world. In the mean time, let us just think about the US psychological operations radio on Saturday broadcasting a message warning Afghans of the danger of confusing food drops with cluster bombs, both of which are coloured yellow.

But Susannah Mandel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) says that our leaders are messing up our own understanding as these leaders don't know themselves what they are saying and what they are doing. She says that the concept opposed to "evil" is that of "good." And the war against evil in Afghanistan should bring good, but where is good when more civilians, more children and more babies are being killed? How many more killings should we experience before realizing we are our own evil-doers?
