When we were kids , there used to be a world that appeared much simpler . There were these two big , huge countries USA and USSR that were touted to be "superpowers" . Then there were countries that seemed to be a world apart and would come up in news here and there , for different reasons , before they would disappear again. "Africa" was a poor country . "Saudi Arabia" was a Muslim country . "Afghanistan" was a barren country. "Malaysia" was a role model Muslim country."Palestine" was some far away country that I had associated with suicide bombers ( it was the first time I came across this term)."Vietnam" was a country where a lot of US soldiers had died in a war In short, each country had some sort of label which was supposed to be it's distinguishing feature. And the two "super powers" were on top of everything. Everything was rather simple looking.
But then , one of the countries decided that it wasn't good enough, really. And there could be only ONE boss to rule over the next of the world ...This tussle had been going on for quite a while between the two Big Ones. It had been going on ever since the First World War ended. It was known as The Cold War. It was a series of conflicts between two "bosses".
To cut a long story short , one of the "bosses" went down after a long struggle and left only one to act as the Big Brother. Now , this Big Brother had a spoilt Little Brother who called himself "The Chosen One". This "Chosen One" strongly believed that we was ultra special and that was something that matched with the Big Brother's thinking. Big Bro had pampered his sibling a lot and in return, the sibling supported his Big Bro as much as possible.
Life was passing merrily along but Big wanted some change. After the collapse of the the USSR , Big needed someone else to kick around. And guess what he found all over the place ....Muslims....They were really breeding.....and Little had some serious issues with Muslims too. So, together, they came up with a plan. They called 911 . They made sure that from that point onward, Muslims were persecuted and attacked mercilessly. In the past, Big and Little had been instrumental to fanning conflicts that killed Millions of Muslims. But that really wasn't enough as Muslims were in billions...
So we were introduced to another world , where Muslims were synonymous wit terrorists and hence punishable by death.
Now Big and Little were merrily killing and slaughtering Muslims and weren't bothering anyone else. But to their dismay , non Muslim countries started to question Big's Big Brother Rule too. A lot of these countries were not bothered with Little as they had no religious association with Little's geography. But they did have an issue with Big who had been trying to order them around a little too much. Countries like N.Korea and China really started to show "bad manners" to Big. They just wouldn't lick Big's shoes like so many other countries . Big was angry !. He started to scold the Non Muslim counties as well. But, since they were non Muslims , Big couldn't do much about it.
And to make matters worse , Big's arch enemy from The Cold War , Russia , also woke up! He started to expand. Big had been spying on people a lot , you see. And more than once , Big was caught with his pants down. Big also tried to portray Russia's re-emergence as a human rights crisis . Big portrayed China and N. Korea as oppressive. Big told the entire world that how bad he felt about the people being murdered in Israel ! He showed them pictures of smiling Israelis . He repeatedly promoted Islam as an oppressive religion. But it just seem to get people more and more curious about Islam !
While Big was busy with crusades , his own people were busy betraying it's secrets. Poor Big ! His closet kept flying open and skeletons kept falling out. Big was caught spying on a non Muslim country. Twice !!! So embarrassing. Everything was a mess. Big did have a $1 Billion stockpile in Little's backyard , just in case. But what to do with the fact the everyone was ticked off at US ? Big's biggest Cold War rival had promised 90% debt waiver to Cuba and also decided to open a Cold War listening post there . *Gasp*
Poor , Poor Big ! Things were unravelling so fast. But wait, Big still had his pet dog...Paks. Paks was forever wagging his tale for Master. But Paks was just an "ally" and Big was continually spying on Paks as well. It was no secret that Paks hated Little. So, Paks and Big had a forced relation ship. And Paks was forever being bitten by it's nasty neighbors. One of the neighbours was Big's biggest rival, Russia's , best chum . The other neighbour was Rassia's worst enemy ! And Pak touted to be Big's friend and Russia was Big's enemy too!
This was the glimpse of The New World. That is what we have come to ; from a simple narrative in the start to utter , total, complete Madness. ......
