The Iraq Report

Did you watch it? I don't know if I should believe it or not. Nor do I have much to say about this report presented by General Petreaus. But the thing about this is that can you really write a report on something so severe, so complex, a report on a war? I mean the colorful charts and numbers are good, but nothing at all seems 'real' about it. Where is the chart showing grief of families of thousands of men, women and children that have been killed and those of soldiers who have sacrificed their lives? Where is the chart showing no. of people who have fled Iraq and migrated to neighboring countries? What conditions/situations are they in right now? A report that doesn't talk about all of this is useless, I think.

Afterall, Gen Petreaus is doing his duty. And here is a clip of his interview:

War/violence (of ANY KIND, ANYWHERE) is senseless, baseless. That is all I have to say.

allah tero naam
ishwar tero naam
sabko sanmati de bhagwan

oh saare jag ke rakhwaale
nirbal ko bal dene waale
balwaanon ko de de gyaan

sabko sanmati de bhagwan
