Thank
you Presidents' Chirac & De Sylva (Editorial)
Two years ago I have wrote in this corner an article pledging weapons-producing
countries to stop production just for 1 year and use the saved money for feeding
hungry people (it would have fed them for years & years)
It is not possible for President Chirac or President De Sylva to have read my
article which was a like a shout in a valley that would only echo in it. Yet we
heard the news about the presidents meeting last month. They decided on
suggesting a project to the United Nations to incorporate VAT (value-added tax)
on weapons selling & use the profits to feed the hungry.
Merci Monsieur Chirac & Gratsia Senieur De Sylva … my dream is becoming a truth
Was it telepathy? Was it based on political backgrounds or pure humanistic
feelings?
Is it the rekindling of the unconscious U.N with humanistic & social issues?
Would a project like this be able to survive or at least be discussed with the
World's decision makers?
God knows …
Weapons exporting countries would accept this project, as they are not paying
anything. Who is then? For sure, they are the underdeveloped countries; the
consumer pays the VAT while the retailer is far off the shore. Whether these
countries accept or not, what is the weapons' trade future?
The obvious thing is the little that is being sold openly to the underdeveloped
countries. The reckoning might be based on political, strategic, economic or
financial (controlled by dominating countries) reasons.
I will not get into international political mazes & try to sell the bear's fur
before it is hunted; but if my words two years ago were a valley's shout that
faded away then what would the fate of the presidential shout. Presidents are
able to shatter the sound and silence's wall & communicate their ideas through
the earth's space & its satellites.
Would the great, greatest, or Goddess countries listen to these humanistic
suggestions? I doubt it …
Alternatively, is the humanism now fading … as if it is being asked to depart to
the holy lands while people are returning from it?
Even our satellite news is insignificant to these majestic countries.
Everybody is now heading towards Mars planet
Fasten your seatbelts …
