Miss Maria Khan,

Nice to read your analytical post! The questions which you raised often come to our mind and we just skip them without giving them due importance. I would like to comment on your post as follows:


During the cold war, the whole of US struggle was aimed at defeating USSR with the view to acquire the status of sole major Military power thus changing the world into a ‘uni-polar’ regime. USA finally succeeded due to hasty and ill-planned expansion struggle of USSR, which tried to penetrate the Muslim world by invading Afghanistan and becoming a serious threat to other Islamic countries. USA got golden chance of defeating USSA and its so called communism with the help of Muslim countries.

Pakistan also had its role as being immediate neighbor of Afghanistan as a possible next victim of USSR’s territory expansion struggle. So an aid package was approved for Zia regime, who in return gave US this proposal that radical fundamentalists Muslims out of many Muslim countries can be used for ‘jihad’ type fight against USSR in the territory of Afghanistan.

So in those days, it was US itself which recruited many Muslims ‘Jihadies’ from many Muslim countries including middle eastern and North African Muslim countries. These ‘Jihadies’ were recruited from Palestine also and in those days HAMAS was favorite to not only for USA but also for Israel. So USA recruited many members of HAMAS also for this purpose.

For USA, this was the fight of ‘capitalism’ vs ‘communism’. ‘Jihadies’ were the pawns in the hands of USA, but those Jihadies, in their minds, were fighting for the cause of Islam. USA itself gave those Jihadies the necessary training.

After the fall of USSR, the major event which made many those former Jihadies against USA was the US’s intervention in middle east. Its war against Iraq and the ‘settlement’ of US army troops in the territory of Saudi Arabia.

Osama, the former ‘Jihady’ perhaps could not digest the presence of US army in his home territory so he might have gone against USA in this way. By this time, these Jihadies were already ‘trained’ and they were already equipped with necessary ammunition.

In my assessment, real ambitions of Osama are ‘nationalistic’ rather than ‘Islamic’. He is fighting for getting USA and Israel out of Arab territory. Osama is using the name of Islam just to get popularity and support from radical fundamentalists throughout Muslim world. Just like that USA fought its own war against ‘communism’ by using the name of Jihad, with the view to arrange ‘ready to die man power’, so Osama is also fighting his own Nationalist war and he is using the name of Islam with the view to get ready to die fighters for him.

In my assessment, Osama is not the hidden ally of USA but still then really Osama’s activities are proving ‘helpful’ for USA.

Present uni-polar regime is a whole new thing in the whole history of mankind. USA is in need to perpetuate this regime at every cost. For this purpose, following two strategies are crucial for USA:

1- USA is in need to maintain and to accumulate its military supremacy with the view to try to perpetuate this uni-polar regime. For this purpose, USA is in need to acquire monopoly in the production of WMD’s. For this purpose, USA is not only in need to invest huge amount of US citizen’s tax money in the production of more and more dangerous WMDs but it is also in need to counter this threat that any other country may not try to produce WMDs.
2- In order to just legitimize its huge spending in WMDs, USA government is in need to convince its own people that USA is really facing some serious threats to the National security. It is why US government intentionally projects 5% or 6% threat to its National security as some 500% or 600%. So Osama is posing 5% threat to US National security but it is in the interest of USA government to project this treat as 500%. In this way, USA government not only legitimizes extra spending on military spheres but it also successfully legitimizes US led attacks even on other sovereign countries.

Lets say Iraq was a 6% problem for US National security, but it was really projected to be as 600%.

USA does not want to face any real enemy. But it really wants to boost about some fake or fictitious ‘enemy’ just in order to legitimize its worldwide military activities, even before other Nations. USA wants to convince the world that real problem which world faces today is ‘terrorism’. By ‘advertising’ and ‘marketing’ the ghost of Osama, USA is only doing or at least trying to do this thing namely that all the world should accept that real problem of present day world is this ‘terrorism’ and it is only USA which can effectively lead the world in this ‘War against terrorism’.

To kill or to capture Osama is not in the interest of USA. If he is captured and so War against terrorism ends in this way then USA would lose its legitimacy as a leader of world. If there is perfect peace in the world, then USA would lose all its ethical grounds for manufacturing of its own WMDs. Then rest of the countries will demand USA to stop the further production of any WMD. But if USA stops further production of WMDs then how would it maintain its military supremacy to rest of world and how USA would perpetuate this ‘uni-polar’ regime’????

USA is intelligently handling the over-all scenario as a result of which, in the eyes of other major Nations of the world, ethical position of USA is better than that of Osama and that of other ‘radical’ sovereign states as well. USA is successful because it is successfully continuing its uni-polar regime and at the same time other major nations are also justifying US stance on international matters.

Osama is a fool. Yes he may be successful in acquiring the support of many hundred ‘ready to die’ radicals but he does not enjoy ethical support of any other major Nation of the world. USA would like to allow and to keep this fool alive and active for its own sake.

USA’s decline is not possible unless it becomes ethically isolated. Our own foolish attitudes however, shall not let this time to come. If there happens another 9/11 attack on USA, Osama shall not win the game. Actually USA shall get more ethical support of the world in this way.

And I am sure once USA is ethically isolated, then even its military supremacy cannot save it from the consequent collapse.


Surely it is not the right way of taking revenge. The right way would be to find the ways how to ethically isolate USA. It would require both negative and positive strategies. Negative strategy would be to highlight USA’s wrong doings on every forum and positive strategy would be to rise up the ethical standards of our own societies so that we proudly say to others that we are so much ethically strong, we cannot be terrorist. Since USA is not ethically so strong (i.e. negative strategy), so USA is the terrorist.



Yes agree! Our backwardness has more internal reasons than external reasons. There are many fools among us.


Reason, in my assessment, is simply that to kill or to capture Osama is not in the interest of USA.

I do not agree in that. I think Osama is not hidden ally of USA. Osama is fighting for his Nationalistic ambitions under the disguise of “Islamic” ambitions.

Osama is a fool and all his activities are giving more and more strength to USA.

Thanks!
