What we have seen in the past few centuries/decades/years; nation states fought amongst themselves for the power struggle. We have seen British being the superpower and then U.S. became the superpower and after the fall of communism, capitalism enjoyed few years without any other ideology threatening its existence. America obviously didn't become a superpower overnight. It took her 120 odd years to be where it is now. However her influence over the middle-east/Asia seems to be out control as the agent rulers are not able to keep the revival of Islam from growing and economical and political oppression or dimocracy has not worked to subdue the Islamic revival so the U.S. has to resort to the last option which is send troops and sending troops means the failure of the superpower to control or have influence over other dependent nation states.
Since last year the U.S. is been trying to take control over Iraq but without any success and day by day situation is getting worse. No sign of stability unless the U.S. leaves and ofcourse in this particular case for the U.S. failure in Iraq is not an option.
The rest of her allies can see the vulnerability of the superpower which suppose to lead the world. Infact the whole world can see that America knows how to start a war but don't know how to end it. And when we say war, we need to highlight the fact that Iraq issue cannot be considers as a war. Why? because in war there are suppose to be two armies fighting against eachother however in Iraq we see external occupiers are killing and abusing the Iraqi people and some Iraqi locals are trying their best to retaliate. This cannot be called a WAR situation. It will be naive to think otherwise.
Things did not go as planned in Iraq and the world is now starting to question the position of America? They are saying how can a superpower be soo out of control? How can a superpower be soo vindictive?
The natural response of the world after seeing the events unfold before their eyes, was against the foreign policy of the biggest Capitalistic nation ie U.S.
Make no mistake, in the past the U.S. foreign polices resulted in mass oppression and unjust however she never has been in this situation where the whole world and also their locals are questioning and speaking out against such campaigns which the U.S. are undertaking specially in the Muslim countries. People talk about America having double standards for different nations however we can confidently say that America only have one standard which is the standard of benefit. If she see's benefit in an action then she will go ahead with it however if she do not find anything which benefits her then she will not undertake the action. Scales of measurement of action on personal and in particular on a state level is based around benefit. No ethics, moral or logic plays a role in the decision making process of the foreign polices of the United States of America. So the question arises, would these problems/failure faced by the U.S. could be because of the Bush administration?
The answer can be yes or no. BUT another question arises, since Capitalism is a man-made system and its not from the creator then how can this system carry on without spreading misery around the world? How can this system satisfies the human mind and it be in harmony with man's nature? True that this man-made system has worked and people embraced this system however its only a matter of time when the system itself destroys itself because if the basis of the ideology is incorrect therefore how can it last the tests of time??
Capitalistic ideology failed to spread itself around the world and to make people accepts its and false slogans and corrupt ideas.
Its time for an unique ideology to rise to the surface. Its time for the whole world to think and contemplate about their responsibilities towards others. Its time for the people of the world to realise that man-made systems cannot solve the problems of the human beings. Its time for the people of the world to look towards an alternative system, which is not from a man but divinely inspired. What other event/tragedy the world is waiting for? doesn't the current affairs of the world enough to make people realise that this is due to the implementation of the man-made systems ie Capitalism. No reforms to the existing corrupt system can make the situation better. Only a divinely inspired system ie Islam, is able to address the problems of the human beings in a unique manner where one is not better-off at the expense of another. Its time for Islam to be implemented as a system so people can stop worshipping/living under corrupt man-made systems. Muslim or non-Muslim, Islam is the only solution for the whole mankind.
