An appeal not only for humanity but for the existence of humans.
I am not an American nor am I an Afghani, I am not the President of some human rights organization nor a great philosopher nor do I have any relatives in America or Afghanistan, I am just a human only a human who is a student, studying in the ninth grade, who considers the world his home and the people his brothers and sisters.
The day when the news was heard that the WTC tower was demolished, tear fell off my eyes not because a world heritage was lost but the human heritage builders were lost and after hearing that it was a terrorist attack, my brain was overflowing with the rage for those terrorists.
But then I thought that why would a person do such a thing killing his own life, my soul gave me the answer : Sufferings makes a man brave and he does the thing that he thinks is right whether it may cost his own life. Every person has an aim, the aim to live, but when something comes between his aim and destroys his aim for living, he feels that the whole world is his enemy and he must revenge with those who destroyed his aim. This is why a common, innocent but a sufferer develops into a so called terrorist.
Not at all the whole USA but some evil minds in the US, those who did not like peace interfered in the life of the common man in the middle-east and western Asia, this is the cause for the hatred of man in those areas for the US. People developed an unreasonable hate for the whole US. Taking advantage of such conditions, some other evil minds fooled the innocent man and encouraged them to join their so called war of independence. Innocent people whether because of pressure or just because of the encouragement by those evil minds flooded to join the war. As they appeared to common man, people liked them because according to them they did good for them.
This is how a war has arisen between the innocent terrorists and the innocent American people. But is the war the last solution or will this war solve the problem, any sensible man will say NO! war does not solves a problem but makes it even more worse. Whether the Americans win or the Taliban this is not going to stop here and when we talk of a nuclear war we cannot imagine that people will exist in these areas after such thing. The war will leave behind new young terrorists and more angry Americans.
So, being a news channel and covering the entire media I request you for the sake of humanity or just for the sake of your fellow Americans and your Afghani people to please publish this article in your site or show it in your channel and put a poll whether the war should go or not in your site and I guarantee you will receive a response like never before with the answer NO!

Dear Govinda Bhai:
I am a little confused by your "article". Are you saying that it was the fault of the Americans that these murderous fanatics thought that killing over 5000 innocent civilians is justified? The guys involved in the suicide plane crashes had free wil - saying that they were swayed by "evil" people simply lets them off the hook.
And whatever the "reason" for how an "innocent" becomes a terrorist, murder is not justified. Those guys who committed this atrocious crime did not prove anything other than their ruthlessness. In addition, they probably just took away any chance for support of their cause from America and the rest of the western world. Because of the "innocent terrorists", the "common man in the middle-east and western Asia" will be further driven to the margins of human civilization - bombed and persecuted - not only by suffering from age long regional strife brought on by a culture that seems unable to make peace with its neighbors and brothers, but now these poor peopel will have a giant with the means and determination to really obliterate them if they choose.
I am sick of folks making excuses for fanatics and ideologues ... whether they be Osama's fly boys or our Maoist brothers. Let us not make martyrs out of these murdering fools. If they want to kill themselves, there are many a way to do it... but killing others and then then blaming the victims is just not okay.
I am not for war for wars sake. But I an not willing to leave my life, the life of my loved ones and other innocents at the mercy of people who wage a war of terror - hiding and strikign civilians. The world is evil and war is necessary at times. But hopefully cooler minds will prevail and that the US government will heed the voice of its people - those who are calling not for war and revenge, but a more humane solution to the problem.
