Futuristic anyone?

As I have finally descended to read up on “how to deal with terrorism” mantras, I can safely conclude from my readings at least that it is more of a response to certain acts of states around the world than just implementing “the terrorists’” own beliefs. As per my definition, the term terrorist refers to an individual/firm/organization, possibly a state also, that poses threat to others – be it individuals, firms, organizations, states – in order to see their beliefs into practice or their ‘constructive’ ideas be extracted.

Now, to eliminate these terrorists, some countries – preferably a superpower- take charge of spreading love and peace by striking the states that claim to have terrorists under their surveillance. When none of the states claim to have terrorists sharpening their skills within their own respective borders, without much further ado, the superpower as it usually is in certain situations, may plan to strike any random state that doesn’t fall parallel to that superpower’s foreign relations.

As we see it today, of course with the ‘coincidental’ but opportune threat of terrorism, principally all G8 countries face the threat of getting ransacked in near future. To avoid such chaos, the only freedom-loving superpower habitually decides to assault specific sovereign states in order to make individuals and states coexist peacefully.

We often wonder that how does the future look like following the current pattern? As part of continued “war on terror”, particular sovereign states might get struck only because they want to exercise their autonomy. Peace and tranquility just might prevail due to strict martial law enforcement after the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons. Even after all this commotion, continuous military presence may possibly serve as vinaigrette.

All these pleasant proceedings remain part of our future, possibly part of our lifetimes. Secretary of State Department of the aforementioned superpower is already working closely to formulate plans to make this world a serene suburb (or whatever is left of this world after the Neoconic Empire is done with). An added advantage will be that there will be a central authority that will govern most of the individuals living on this planet to protect us from future terrorist ploys by spying on…I mean, protecting our civil liberties. With further elimination of threats and some sobbing good-byes and good riddances of any “threatening states”, there finally will be PEACE!

It’s quite interesting to see how there lie various definitions of a single word; peace. The one in an elementary school textbook can often be “modestly” different from the one in foreign affairs.
