“Nation which has strength of Oil, Economy and Military
would continue to rule the world in 21st century”
As I have debated in my previous article about the role of nations which has the strength of OEM would rule the world. The role of USA in Middle East, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan is an expanded form of gaining control over Oil, which is the first step and ingredient of achieving world dominance. Earlier, rather till mid nineties, a few Oil and Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) did have the courage to mould the world economies ups and down; but today USA is in the most dominant position of strength to accept or reject their terms. As the weak people when can not stand against a powerful enemy, they resort to run and hit types of warfare’s. What Western nations are now terming such fundamentalist’s attempts as terrorism? This new form of terrorism is not new but reinvented and practiced means of resistance. As terrorism identifies no religion or relationship and the maximum victims of such heinous acts are innocent citizens; that is why; I termed this menace the Scourge of Terrorism (Sot), people who launch such attacks terrorists and the entire gamut terrorism.
Before, I proceed further let me explain as to what is the war of patriots and terrorism. The origin of Guerilla type war of patriots goes back to as far as 1764-70 AD when, one of the greatest Maratha leaders, Chhatrapati Shivaji had launched a crusade against the most tyrants and oppressing Mughal rule. He had always targets and fought against the well armed and trained soldiers and never victimized innocent citizens. Now days, the War of terrorists is different both in attacking targets and means of executing. His aim was to incite small but numerous armed rebellions in Mughal regime, thus, forcing them to come to their terms. The medieval periods of war of patriots and today’s war of terrorist can not be compared with modern time of advanced technological reach. As the former was governed by the local needs of natives, the terrorism is ruled by the dominance of Oil and oil flow in modern time.
The Oil and oil flow is the only natural source available which would make or break a nation’s strength. I believe that any country which controls, Oil Flow would control the world. Now let me share my views as to what I really mean with OEM. I feel that any nation which would control Oil would have prosperous and strong economy; and which inturn will create powerful Military. Therefore, growth of one ingredient is directly proportionate to other. Rather, I would say that the progress and growth of one sector is flowing out of the strength and stability of other. I, therefore, perceive the following correlation amongst Oil, Economy and Military;
· One; Control of Oil would provide a nation liberty of utilizing, moving, transporting and operating her natural, artificial and Human resources to the maximum potential;
· Two; utmost unitization and extreme exploitations of country’s resource would make the State’s economy prosperous and strong; and
· Three; Strong economy require protection and safety in every field. It not only requires safeguarding her geographical territories and oversea economic interests of own state; but also of friendly countries, thus envisaging the requirement of powerful Military. I would place the USA policies based on my OEM theory. She has not only been able to gain control but also forced world to follow her various trade related policies of own interests. I sometimes view the role of World Trade Organization (WTO) and World Bank (WB) with skepticism due to bullying tactics of developed Nations.
I, thus, conclude that future interests of most of the states would be governed through Oil Command Diplomacy (OCD) which would be the real factor of states strength. Oil generates Economy; and Economy makes Military. So far, the USA with her allies has proved true my first presupposition and they all are nearly controlling the two third out flow of Oil in the world. Despite major economic recess at home, these Nations have not only been able to protect but also maintain their overseas Economic interests due to powerful Military.
What would be the real effect if any nation is unable to meet her home Oil inflow
demand? The readers can well imagine, if USA stops her oil supply for a day. The oil in other term is the true symbol of meeting the most important Dynamic Propelling Energy (DPE) requirements out of two, due to which a nation is required to power her mobile resources. I believe that most of the States have been able to meet the second Static Propelling Energy (SPE) requirement of electricity, factory and industries operation needs but DPE can only be sustained through Oil.
After debating about the OEM basic beliefs, I would now try to discuss about the relationship of Oil and terrorism. As, most of the world nations believe that USA and her allies’ invasion of Iraq, on the pretext of threat of possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) were mere a device and an approach to control the most sought after DPE source of Middle East, therefore, my first prophecy of oil to make a nation’s economy strong is proving true. As the natural oil sources are in the heart of Islamic world, therefore, the entry of Western World is acting as a fuel to Muslim’s Religious Identity Crisis Conflict (RICC) ideology. As I have already advocated that terrorism is going to be the basic tool of sustained RICC movements’ world over, the terrorism is directly related to oil entity.
You would agree with me that the death of over 50 innocent civilians in Iraq every alternate day through Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) attacks is the beginning of war for oil control. Despite proving wrong at home, the USA and her allies continue to pursue the Oil Dominance Diplomacy (ODD). Though Russia, China and Japan have been expressing not only their reservations on continuous presence of USA and her allies in Iraq, but also they had a perceived fear of losing in ODD against USA.
Readers would now be able to draw and define a clear line of interest of various Nations trying to contain terrorism and prevent its nefarious spread in other countries. What I believe that:
· One; the terrorism is going to be a nature of warfare in future;
· Two; weaker nations would continue to resist powerful against natural oil resources control;
· Three; Islamic nations particularly located in Middle East, Asia and around Mediterranean would continued to be involved not only in RICC but also struggle to sustain their natural resource and wealth.
· Four; the role of other countries would be to play the Watch and Wait Diplomacy (WWD) to exploit terrorist’s movements in the name of either RICC or patriotism. There might be involvement of some third countries in inciting and fueling resistance movement in Iraq to tie down USA economy to the ever lowest level of world dominance.
· Five; as DPE oil source would govern the future role of a nation, the RICC is going to spread beyond every nation’s geographical boundaries through subversive activities.
· Six; if so than what would be our means and measures to prevent repetition of bombing of Twin Towers, metros in Mumbai in India and London; and other various other similar IED terrorist acts.
Do you believe that what a nation terms terrorist attack is really true for other? I
strongly say No, and repeat no. As I believe that no country has the right to infring in other nation’s internal affairs and creates disturbed situations. A terrorist in the eyes of Western Nations might be a freedom fighter amongst own citizens.
How do you differentiate between an act of terrorism and patriotism, I leave it to
esteem readers but in my views, I define terrorism as “an act of people which harms innocent citizens, damages State property and incites armed uprisings against a legally elected government”. Though it has nothing to do with religion and community, but some of the communities resolve to terrorism as a tool to fulfill their political dreams and aspirations. Anyhow, as the Muslims are passing through most crucial stage of their RICC, they perceive a direct threat to not only religious philosophy but also the natural resource of their countries. These Islamic leaders are true to some extent; but the manners with which Muslims sectarian violence is frequently erupting in Iraq, Pakistan and Iran are alarming indicators.
After defining terrorism, I would debate about various reasons of terrorism which need world leaders to pay attentions. The United Nations Organization (UNO) through its subsidiary organization must address the basic problem of RICC of Islamic nations or else, the future shape of terrorist conflicts is going to far bloodier than ever before. What I perceive that the Islamic patriots would take terrorist strikes against softer and easy targets deep inside Western Countries because of;
· One; easy access of entry and exit from Western Nations including USA;
· Two; availability of large number of Pro-Religion Fanatic Believers (PRFB) in Europe, USA, Africa and Asia;
· Three; well established and organized economic network in entire world;
· Four; uncontrolled procreation, thus, always leaving a scope of exploitations for pecuniary gains, which most of the fanatics generally do. I have observed during my visit to some of the affected countries of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and Myanmar that hard core Islamic fanatics visit interiors areas of all these countries and contact poverty ridden large families and pay them handsomely to donate a male child for education and cause of Islam. During my one of the meetings with an Islamic scholar at Delhi at All India Imam office in later 2000, he informed that that the most of the Islamic scholars have identified over hundred families who were waiting for Islamic scholar to arrive and hand over their one male child between the age of seven and ten to follow the religious teachers to Madarassas for perceived Islamic education. While departing, the Islamic scholar had paid nearly rupees 10,000/ Pakistani and Afghani rupees, thanking for donating a child for the cause of Islam and Allah. Later I came to know that actually most of the children were transshipped to various Islamic schools in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
· Five; availability of criminal’s well setup illegal drug trafficking and real estate mafia to support such movements for own pecuniary gains.
· Six; Support of third countries to pressurize other for world hegemony thus making arms, explosives and money easily available.
USA being in the heart of Oil enrich geographical area is having nearly 60% of the control over Oil Dollar Market (ODM) thus making other nations skeptical about her real intentions of being in Iraq or Middle East. I would make an attempt to cover what are effects of RICC and Flow of Oil Diplomacy (FoOD). Readers’ views are solicited at som_kalpna@yahoo.com
I, S Kalpna Sharma, am a freelance journalist who frequently write on various issues relating human values. As y impetus of debate has always been focused on current issues, I would now debate about the curse of terrorism and effect of heavy blood bath of Innocent citizens in Iraq and elsewhere. 15 May 2007
