The Horrific Napalm Attack
They proclaimed they represented the free world. They fooled us. They represented Communism as a threat to world peace and harmony and potrayed themselves as heroes.They fooled us. By providing for Pakistan they displayed their affection for the world. They fooled us. While Pakistan clung at USA heartily, another Islamic state was being drained of their rich oil reserves. That state was Iraq. The Vietnam War is a classic example where North Vietnam was airstruck by Nixon just because they refused to accept few terms of the Paris Peace Accord. With the excuse of finding the guilt for the 9/11 they destroyed the lives of thousands of Muslims all over the world. After their release from the Guantanamo Bay they still struggle to find their place in the outside world. And we call such a country the Global leader.
The fault lies not with USA alone. Hypocrisy and corruption go hand in hand in politics and the normal world. A classic example would be of a school captain uttering noble words in his Oath Of Office and later going against the very same solemn words with his nefarious activities. Thus it is inherent in each one of us. But there are few who tend to tone down the hypocrite in them and go the right way. They become role models later.
In the entertainment world the "friendships and marriages" are as volatile as staircases of sand. This whole wide world is filled with men of the character of Macbeth. Nothing can be done about that. Pakistan say" We do not support terrorism". Yet that son of a gun Osama bin Laden was found in a tall building , relaxed on his couch, in Pakistan. The above statement was as absurd as Hugh Hefner proclaiming true love for one girl. Strange.
This does not mean that I am perfect. But who am I to judge myself. It is upto people who know me. Sometimes hypocrites do end up at the receiving end of a kick on their asses.
The pig head thrown at Luis Figo
The most significant example would be of a great Portugese player called Luis Figo. People were in awe of his charisma when he proclaimed his love for the fans of Barcelona at Nou Camp. Days later we find him in the jersey of Real Madrid, following his greed for money. In the El Classico that followed suit, the infuriated fans had humiliated him infront of the whole world by throwing the head of a dead pig at him.
This list can go on and on. Neither do I want to act as any Redeemer nor do I expect any change. Thus Hypocrisy is here to stay. It has been seen in the past. Looking at people such as A.Raja, Suresh Kalmadi, Kanimozhi I say it is still a matter of the present. It shall continue in the near future as long as the human race survives in this Good Old Earth.
