Arrogance, brutality, and ruthlessness are devoid of any semblance of civilization and humanity. They justify their bloodthirstiness and craft their own excuses for shamelessness. Criticism, reproach, or blame from others does not affect them. If it did, America would have changed its ways long ago and realized that destroying people and lands with weapons and technology does not elevate a nation or grant it dignity. American history is filled with shameless wars, blatant interference in the affairs of independent nations, and the killing of innocent people. If someone had the skill to compile authenticated and verified statistics, it would reveal how many lies and deceits stain the superpower that preaches peace, human rights, democracy, and freedom.
Forget that on August 6, 1945, it was this same champion of “peace and reconciliation” that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, killing over three hundred thousand people and crippling millions. Forget that on August 9, 1945, this same advocate of humanity dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, killing a third of the city’s population. Two hundred and fifty years ago, in 1763, the first biological weapons were used in America by the ancestors of present-day Americans. During World War I, the United States used poisonous gas on prisoners of war. In 1925, when the Geneva Convention was banning the use of chemical and biological weapons, America was the most opposed and refused to accept the ban. These events are relics of the past, but even today, the U.S. refuses to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). It has unilaterally withdrawn from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Russia. Today, it still holds over twelve thousand nuclear bombs in its arsenal. It also has the largest stockpile of chemical and biological weapons, and its carnage and inhumanity continue, having increased many times over.
Almost 22 years ago, in July 2002, a wedding was taking place in a village in Afghanistan. Girls were singing to the beat of drums, and fireworks were being set off. American planes saw this from the skies and, mistaking it for a Taliban military camp, dropped dozens of bombs, killing 48 innocent people, including women and children. The Islamic world did not even flinch. Besides muted whispers, there was no significant protest. Graves were dug, and the remains of the burned were buried. The U.S. Central Command proudly stated, “We were fully justified in this attack; our planes were fired upon.” Two years later, a similar tragedy occurred in a border village in Iraq, where bombs dropped on a wedding ceremony killed 55 people. The technology that could spot insects crawling on the ground mistook the wedding for an “Al-Mahdi Army” camp. The news agency Reuters reported, quoting an eyewitness, that among the dead were 15 children and 25 women. Another eyewitness told Al-Arabiya TV that American planes dropped approximately one hundred bombs. The TV channel also showed how blood was flowing, and mutilated bodies lay on a dust-covered road.
After the horrifying stories of Abu Ghraib prison and Bagram Air Base came to light, the civilized world witnessed investigations, testimonies, statements, court-martials, and inquiries. But until now, no one has dared to confront America on its blatant barbarism. Today, when a representative from the White House, Pentagon, or State Department visits any Muslim country, the rulers are overwhelmed with joy. Red carpets are rolled out, welcome banners are displayed, and lavish banquets are arranged. Holding, shaking hands with, and kissing its blood-stained hands is considered an honor. Its arrival is deemed a mark of respect.
In the twentieth century, approximately eighteen million people perished in wars. The United Nations came into existence but could not stop the bloodshed. Now, America has even abandoned the practice of obtaining false or true permits to attack a sovereign country and has created the new doctrine of “pre-emptive strikes.” At the end of the last century, in July 1998, 120 member states of the United Nations gathered in The Hague. They approved the charter of the International Criminal Court to make the Geneva Conventions more effective and to punish soldiers who commit war crimes. This court has been in existence for 26 years, but America’s rampant actions continue. It has vociferously opposed this court, claiming, “Our military is present in a hundred countries around the world; we will be dragged into this court for political reasons.”
To appease global public opinion, President Clinton signed the charter before leaving office, but as soon as Bush set foot in the White House, he used his Pharaoh-like powers to refuse its ratification. Obama followed the same policy, and to date, no American president has signed the ratification. To render this court ineffective, the U.S. has made agreements with 89 countries that if any American military or civilian personnel are found guilty of human rights violations and war crimes, they will be handed over to the U.S. The U.S. has enacted a law that any country refusing to make such an agreement may have its aid cut off. Additionally, in 2002, the U.S. secured a one-year exemption from this court through a UN Security Council resolution. In July 2003, this exemption was extended for another year, and since then, the U.S. has claimed the right to exemption annually.
Meanwhile, Israel, America’s protégé, has resumed its bloodshed of innocent Palestinians in Gaza and other regions for the past nine months. This violence shows no signs of stopping. India has not only openly supplied weapons to Israel but has also recruited several hundred unemployed Hindu youths to spill the blood of innocent Muslims. The Modi government is secretly exploiting this global tragedy by rapidly arresting and disappearing young Kashmiris and settling Hindus in an attempt to alter the Muslim majority. They are provided with interest-free loans and other financial aid, and new Hindu settlements are being built, following Israel’s example. Once again, mass graves of several thousand missing persons have been discovered in occupied Kashmir, a fact now being highlighted by the international press. Kashmiris, already suffering from years of civil war, are being targeted economically in hopes that their poverty will force them to abandon their demand for self-determination. The Indian government believes that by buying off some of their leaders, they can coerce Kashmiris into full accession to India, but so far, all these deceptions and cunning tactics have failed.
But who can be blamed when there is silence from Morocco to Indonesia? The great kings, sultans, princes, formidable warriors, and esteemed leaders are all quiet. Forget about words of condemnation; there isn’t even anyone to shed tears over the cheapness of Muslim blood. Who would shed tears anyway? All eyes are fixed on the court of the White House, and whenever a dignitary from their visits, the carpet business booms, and flower shops are emptied.
The way the world champion of human rights has flouted justice on the issue of Gaza and Kashmir, all the human rights organizations are condemning him, but on this attitude of the West, nature has exposed their hypocrisy in front of the whole world, and this Showed that among those who call themselves civilized, dogs have the status of family members, but no living human life has any value!
آج تمہاری خونخواری پر حیرت ہے حیوانوں کو
تم توکل تہذیب سکھانے نکلے تھے انسانوں کو
کیسا شوق چرایا تم کو شہروں کی بربادی کا
جگہ جگہ آباد کیا ہے تم نے قبرستانوں کو
اتنے بھی سفاک منافق دنیا نے کب دیکھے تھے
کتوں کا منہ چومنے والے قتل کریں انسانوں کو
Today, astonishment at your bloodthirstiness is reserved for animals,
You set out to teach civilization to humans yesterday.
What strange delight have you taken in the destruction of cities,
Everywhere you’ve established graveyards.
The world has rarely seen such ruthless hypocrites,
Kissing the mouths of dogs while murdering humans.
