American is one of the super power countries in the world. American has many soldier or military force to keep the peace in the world. American fell that American is police in the world because American has many criteria to be the police in the world such as has many soldier, has many weapon and has many technology that support in the war. Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld is talking about Global Command and like the term "infinite justice" something appears to be terribly wrong with these words.
The World is not made up of only US citizens, and it is not just US citizens that have human rights. Moreover, America is not the largest country in size nor does it have the largest population. The US literacy rate is not the highest in the World nor is our morality necessarily of the highest standards. We may consider ourselves a free Nation; but particularly when our Great Nation becomes fearful, we as a Nation have a history of systematically denying our citizens basic human rights.
American as the Police in the World
America is a Nation made up of immigrants and yet the United States has a policy of locking up people for years without so much as a trial who want to immigrate. While freedom of speech may be constitutionally protected, the freedom to speak has been effectively limited because the United States does not recognize a right to human privacy. If the human race is to ultimately work together in harmony, it must be able to communicate without fear. People must have faces with rights, not just nationalities. Bombs can not replace bargaining. And the ideals of the Founding Fathers should be open to all, not be held hostage to the fears induced by terror or the opportunists of politicians. Locking America up does not protect us from the Universe. This Planet we call Earth is diverse and complex. America is not one thing; it is many things good and bad. America is not the World master; it is a citizen among nations. The human race lives in many environments with many value systems. There is no single right and just plan for all.
The question is no longer if individuals have weapons of mass destruction. The simple facts that are being ignored by our leadership is that technology exists outside of Government as knowledge and it is the nature of war that knowledge can and always will be capable of use for mass destruction. This knowledge genie can not be put back into the bottle; it must be turned and used in a positive way to coexist. The human race is living within the same bubble so that individuals and groups are equal. If individual human beings or Governments choose to destroy the very air we all breathe by piercing its surface, we suffer the consequences equally.
The President of the United States does not command America by permission of God, the President leads by permission of its citizens. Our leaders, like the leaders of the rest of the world need to come to terms with the simple fact that there is no way to "Command" this beautiful "Globe" without destroying it.
Eman Case in Libya
Eman El-Obeidi has become of the one faces of Libyan revolution just like late Mohamed Nabbous . We do not know if she is alive or dead or rather was killed like what one of her cousin implied but still her proud mother told the reporters that she talked to her on the phone. Eman’s mother Mrs. Aisha Ahmed , the lady who lives currently in Tobruk revealed that the regime contacted her and offered money if she changed her story the thing which she totally refused.
Now some officials in Libya claim in the Washington Post that Eman is a prostitute and that it was a wild night that went totally wrong so Eman is not mentally unstable now !! Same thing was implied at Sky News’ report about those arrests in Tripoli after the incident at the Rixos hotel. Regarding foreign media , you must know that Arabs admire the action of the foreign reporters and many comments online praise their bravery against the Qaddafi men.
Eman’s parents are proud and said that she did what men failed to do against Qadadafi , her family supports her in a great move as she did not bring disgrace to them like what the Qaddafi media and orphans are spreading offline and online. The family is insisting that Eman is sane unlike what the Qaddafi media claimed showing her photos as a graduate of law school who was studying for her master. The law graduate who works in tourism company in Tripoli has opened many wounds whether in Libya or in the Arab world or in the third world in general if we are going to speak about rape victims.
Now here is online international petition asking the UN and the Turkish consulate to protect Eman. The Libyan revolutionaries are currently near from Sirt , the homeland of Qaddafi while a group of Libyan army’s units in Kufrah have already announced that they joined the revolutionaries. This means that the whole East of Libya is liberated from Qaddafi’s control.
The first aid ship has just arrived to the Misurate harbor with food and medical supplies to the city that suffered a lot. The Egyptians in Misurata have sent another SOS through the media that they were being used human shields by Qaddafi troops. Here is a collection of photos from the city before the revolution and the attack of Qaddafi troops.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we know that American is an arrogant country. American fell that American’s is the strongest country in the world. So, American likes to barge in the other country. American says that American’s can be a medicine in the world. America is a Nation made up of immigrants and yet the United States has a policy of locking up people for years without so much as a trial who want to immigrate. While freedom of speech may be constitutionally protected, the freedom to speak has been effectively limited because the United States does not recognize a right to human privacy. The President of the United States does not command America by permission of God, the President leads by permission of its citizens. Our leaders, like the leaders of the rest of the world need to come to terms with the simple fact that there is no way to "Command" this beautiful "Globe" without destroying it.
