9/11 – The Great Game and the Muslim World

But, interestingly, in the current scenario, it is the US who needs China more than the other way round, as the US is in a deep crisis economically, and Saudi Arabia and China are the only bailout options. But the only way out of the crisis would be if the US stops its military invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan, which is nowhere near and China is more than happy to lend its money to the US to get more and more interest in return, which will come right from the US taxpayers, further deepening the crisis.

On the other hand, although the US-Soviet competition for global hegemony eventually led to the decpimation of the later, the tussle continues over the geo-strategic manuvering. By installing a puppet regime in Georgia through the ‘color revolution’, the US achieved a mammoth target of blocking Russian oil export to Europe by pipelines running through Georgia. Scheunemann then went on to draft a resolution to expand the NATO by giving membership to Georgia, paving the way for bringing the US troops at the gates of Russia. Moreover, the presence of the US bases in Central Asian states, the erection of Missile shields in north Asia, coupled with the heavy presence of the US naval bases in the Mediterranean are increasing the friction. The relentless opposition to the US war adventurism and the unwavering Russian backing for Iran and Syria is a clear indication that Russian restraint is becoming thinner.

The accomplishment of the US foreign policy goals has become a complex undertaking for the US, due to the emergence of strong economies in Asia with divergent interests. The entire US scheme of asserting itself in the whole of Eurasia and the consequent conflicts revolve around the littoral nations of the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea.
Secondly, the tearing down of the Berlin Wall and the fragmentation of the Soviet Empire in the 1980s led a number of scholars and advocates of liberal capitalism to proclaim theses such as ‘The end of History’, the ‘Clash of Civilizations’ and the ‘dawn of the new world order, to describe the world situation. They celebrated the downfall of the Berlin Wall as the end of an era – Socialism and the ushering of a new era of rivalry depicted by an alliance of Confucian-Islam versus the West. Tony blair’s proclamation of the inhumane NATO bombing of Iraq and Afghanistan as the last ‘Crusade’ sums up the evil thought process that has incapacitated the facade of the democratic values of the West. Thus, the immoral invasion of the Muslim world was imminent, given the insane utopia of ‘CRUSADES’ across the leaders of the Western civilisation – the endless Crusade that unites the civilized world against the elusive Old Man of the Mountains. Apparently, the God-less modern civilisation is actually a “NATIONALIST CHRISTIAN” civilisation. It has declared a ruthless war against the world of Islam, ripping apart its economic, social and moral fabric by coercive tactics. Manipulating and maneuvering the politics of the Muslim world, defying the opinion of the majority, creating havoc in societies and then crying hoarse against the response that manifests itself in the form of militant Islam, which is nothing but a false name given to the political expression of the suppressed people. And then, consequently, using the pretext of militant Islam, the obnoxious West invades the civilisedworld of Islam to open its franchises of Democracy, human values, liberalism and what not, which in reality are the brothels of oppression run by Mir Jaffars and Mir Sadiqs of the Muslim world. Doctrines like reshaping of the ‘Greater Middle East’ (Greater Israel), in favour of the imposter state of Israel, give an idea of the heretical religious leanings that drive the devilish political and military machine of the West. Therefore, for the fulfillment of these grand objectives, the US had to occupy the heart of Central Asia, i.e., Afghanistan; by being here, the US is close to China, Russia and the energy rich Central Asian states, thus controlling the phenomenal untapped energy reserves of the region. The replacement of the much-awaited IPI gas pipeline with the TAPI (Turkmen-Afghanistan-Pakistan-Iran) pipeline is an indication of the US interests and influence in the region.

Moreover, by being in Afghanistan, the US could control the axis where the political Islam is at its best, whilst intensifying the clandestine operations to denuclearize and destabilize Pakistan and other Muslim countries.
The Muslim nations should raise a voice against this American expansionism and against the use of power for the killing of the innocent people of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Mali. Though the United States has been saying that Al-Qaeda was behind the terrorist attacks on the US on September 11, 2001, the investigations are far from complete. In fact, many high officials in the US say that it was an inside job, and there are various evidences available on the internet. A regional strategic consensus among Muslim nations is mandatory to disrupt, dislodge and destroy the US’ great game in the region; otherwise, the region will be pushed into further subjugation and darkness.
