Wake up America ! It is Time.

Wake up America! You can’t have double standards fro everything. If one man dares to challenge your authority (Osama Bin Laden) and takes the extremist route to avenge what you did in Iraq, you bomb and ruin his whole country and kills innocent people. At the same time you share dais and form strategic and friendly alliances with countries that have been proxy heavens for extremists (Pakistan).  Every national and every citizen of this world has equal right of expression and right to self defense. Osama is not wrong when he tries to avenge the killing of innocent people in Iraq. His actions may have been exaggerated but your response was not too kind either.

A gas leak in a poor state in India by negligent behavior of an American company would prompt you to press diplomatically for a safe passage for your citizens and disclaim any responsibility by paying a negligible compensation. Even when extending a hand of nuclear cooperation you ensure to sneak I a minimum liability clause for American Companies. If that is how America wants things to be, why are the lawmakers, citizens and Congressmen pressing for BP’s blood. Congressmen believe BP’s commitment of USD 20 Billion is peanuts for the horrendous mistake and lack of oversight by its managers. We understand and are concerned with outmost seriousness the environmental damage this spill is likely to cause. We are also aware of the damage the “Gas Leak” inflicted on poor and innocent citizens of India a few decades back.

Equating Bhopal with Gulf of Mexico is an unfair and unreal comparison. But the loss of life in Bhopal and the continuing effects on people’s life comes cheap to you than the environmental damage ‘oil leak’ is likely to cause. The world looses confidence when the custodian of its rights openly defies them. Wake up America, It is Time!
