RKPATTATH: COGITO, ERGO SUM ( I THINK, THEREFORE I EXIST )

There is a moral dilemma in my mind regarding international law. When Obama was elected as the President of the United States, my joy knew no bounds. Now he is on his second tenure. He continued with the policy of brutal world domineering tactics of Bush and has been continuously violating international law. Take the example of Pakistan. It is a country openly sheltering terrorist training camps against India. The U. S Government gives it sophisticated war machinery at subsidized rates. At the same time , it kills Pakistani Terrorists along with many innocent civilians through drone attacks. Though I am an Indian I do not feel the use of drones by the U.S is just.

The 90 year jail for Bradley Manning is another dilemma for me. As a U.S employee, he is bound by the rules. He used morally wrong means to expose the U.S war crimes. He deserves punishment, but it should not have been so harsh.

Had it not been for the brutal military dominance of U.S.A, the world would have tried Bush and Obama for war crimes. The Iraqi and Afghan wars and the drone attacks on other countries across international borders are undoubtedly war crimes. Ignoring United Nations, if U.S.A attacks Syria, all the world have to unite and take action against the U.S.A . The least that could be done is to culturally dissociate with it totally.

Coming back to Obama now that it is his second tenure he should be more concerned with his evaluation in history. With the present record, his Nobel for peace is a good topic for political satire.
