Bin Laden gets US justice
- Hueiyen Lanpao Editorial :: May 03 2011 -
ONE HAS always been worried with the proposition that we could wake up and yawn and stretch ourselves in the wee hours only to find Osama Bin Laden staring with that sphinx like fixed penetrating gaze half smiling and half something.
The message is now official that US troops have finally killed him without allowing him to give an explanation of his murderous deeds. A sensational example of 'western' justice.
The western world gloats, as if the FIFA World Cup has been won. The question is whether they have killed just a man but not the idea he represented.
Power leads to might, might leads to arrogance, arrogance leads to abuse, abuse leads to denial of natural rights which in turn leads to unexplained deaths.
Even 'heathens', atheists and hedonists liked Bin Laden for having tweaked the ears of the United States. He had pervaded the western mind-set threatening to shatter the comfort of their ill gotten gains.
Having been known to be very soft spoken one wonders in what tones he could have ordered the destruction of the World Trade Centre twin towers. He raised his hand against the west, led by its last empire, the US and still had time to father about 50 children. One can only gasp and applaud.
In killing Osama the West has won a huge psychological victory, but by killing the man Osama has the western powers erased the universal reprehension of the west.
Osama Bin Laden had an implacable hatred of the US, this is nothing new or strange, million others shared the same thought. However, he differed from others when it came to giving a stinging slap at the face of the US when others preferred just to glare and resent.
The terrible message of the US action is that it can and does what it wants anywhere in the world, with the possible exception of China.
Apart from playing the role of world police man striding with a malevolent and masochistic attitude what is the US really interested in? It is the three letter world OIL.
If the oil producing countries can unite, and refuse the western world the oil they so desperately need then Bin Laden might have proved this point.
One thing is for sure, Bin Laden molested the western world.
