In a movie or in our TV soaps or even in real life, when a baby comes out of the womb, the doctor exclaims, “Congratulations! It’s a Boy!!!†or “Congratulations! It’s a Girl!!!†but he never says, “I’m sorry to tell you but it’s a terrorist! When a boy learns to hold a cricket bat or a pencil in his hand, he tells you proudly, “Mom I want to be a cricketer or a teacher one day.†but he never comes up to you holding a gun in his hand and says, “Mom I want to be a terrorist.†Then how do these young, smart men become what they are?
As the world is progressing fast, population, corruption, taxes, job opportunities or even TERRORISM. It is becoming an exciting job for these young men who are not dumb or geeks that they cannot study or make money. They are bomb making experts, planners, trained pilots, knowing exactly what they want and finding violence to be the only means of getting their point across. Terrorists not only get money from their base organisation but also get protection for their families.
We will never know the real reason why these men do these things and what they get out of it. When Osama bin laden planned to attack World Trade Center, nobody was aware about his disastrous plans. The very next day after the attack, news channels flashed “Muslims overjoyed; praise men who sacrificed there lives, worship Osama for his bravery and master planningâ€. After all what they wanted to convey to President Bush was that he should not consider himself and his country as the world power and everybody’s big brother.
What goes on in the mind of a terrorist is unpredictable but we do know that if the needs of these young aggressive men are not satisfied in the initial stage, they will make the world hear it in any way they want.
