USA -a man-child in power ;

” More than anything else, as I watched him that morning in Scotland, I was filled with a sense of sadness that we had reached such a perilous moment with such a man, or really - for here is my deepest suspicion - such a man-child in power. Yes, he genuinely believes in his "war on terror", even as he and his advisors use it to his own advantage. In addition, yes, he's good at being, or rather enacting with all his being , and the role of the "war on terror" president. Yet there's something so painfully childlike in the spectacle of him. Here, after all, is a 59-year-old who loves to appear in front of massed troops, saying gloriously encouraging and pugnacious things while being hoo-ah-ed - and almost invariably he makes such appearances dressed in some custom-made military jacket with "commander in chief" specially stitched across his heart, just as he landed on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln back in May 2003 in a navy pilot's outfit,” added Tom.

Members of the EU, now worried, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the OECD should persuade the US and UK to have a dialogue with the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). With all its failings, OIC is the only organization where all Muslim countries have come together for the first time since the 10th century. The EU-OIC dialogue initiated in early 2003 just before the Iraq war should be revived and invigorated. It is a moot point, if Blair had not so whole-heartedly supported Bush , support from Australia , Italy and Spain might have lessened for the mad and evil enterprise and events might have turned out differently.

At micro-level ,Europeans , specially the British are going to have a difficult task and mission , with colonial memories among its Muslims , specially those now living on margins of the society , from where the young and impressionable are recruited and the current Crusade-Jihad environment in the world . Britain could learn a thing or two from India, which has handled Jihadis and terrorists , and their depredations since many decades. The British would pompously lecture India on the freedom of political expression of Sikh and Muslim organizations based in UK with links to terrorists operating in India and Kashmir , with BBC even telecasting celebrations by extremist Sikhs at the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Things are going to get worse than better , if at all.
