How do you fight a war where there is no front line?
How do you fight a war where your enemies can easily
disguised themselves as one of us? That is what the
Indian security forces faced in this last week. We
can bring to bear the latest technologies or even the
most draconian measures but the terrorists will
still slip through. Perhaps it is time to re-think
our approach to fight terrorism. Perhaps it is time to
reconsider the non-violent approach that Gandhi and
Martin Luther King advocated. We saw the end of Communism
and in these last days some say even the end of Capitalism.
And yet Dr. King's non-violent resistance continued to this
day with Barak Obama becoming the first black president of
the United States. Perhaps it is time to rebuild the
threads of humanity that is based on the knowledge that we
are all created in God's image. And if young Scout
(To Kill a Mocking Bird) can turn back the wrath of the lynch
mob then we know that the message of peace is the ultimate
anti-terror weapon.
