Ask, and the world knows the answer:
In what demented world view is the
very nation that defends itself and the lives
of its people considered the aggressor?
The global community of nations responds
with disbelief that a belligerent nation
invading another with the intention of
eviscerating its territorial integrity to gain
coveted property insists this is an invasion
of liberation. Liberating another nation's
territory to its predatory gain, in the process
committing unspeakable atrocities. Yet
another nation attacked time and again by
a neighbour dispatching violent emissaries of
death to create disharmony and disorder and
revelling in the success of suicide bombings
celebrates its status as a victim of the very
presence of a peaceful, inclusive nation its
intention is to destroy. One, a bold march of
war by an irenic nation, the second a terrorist
agenda of intransigent belligerents where the
world fixes responsibility of restraint on the
defending nation long accustomed to isolation.
