9/11: Its hiigh time the tactics are changed

Africa and Africans commiserate with The United States on the 5th Anniversary of September 11.

Africans also commiserate with themselves for all Africans and Africans in diasporra that lost their lifes on that fateful day.

Its already five years and this should be the time for stock taking. Its almost 5 years since President Bush declared war on terror. And despite these long years, the danger of terrorism and Terrosists seems not to be abating.

If one should say the truth, the world is more vulnerable to attack than we were 5 years ago.

This is the time to redefine America's war on Terror. Should it be fought at the expense of  American Soldiers' lifes? Do we continue to pay evil with evil?

The global war on terror has been concentrated largely on Iraq as if that is the major breeding ground of Terrorists.

We need to forgive. In forgiveness, the healing process is quickened.

America needs to show commitment more than lip service to the middle east peace process. America should as a matter of urgency stop supplying Cluster Bombs to Israel. It should instead, call the warring parties to the round table under the auspices of the United Nations to find lasting peace in the middle east.

President Bush should be receptive to other Countries ideas in this regards

The Israel/Lebanese war has shown that arial bombardment cannot rout these people. We need to understand that they are aggrieved and they need People that will listen and empathise with them and not what America is doing presently in the Middle East. Carrot and Stick approach will not solve the problem. If anything, it will further aggravate the situation.

Might is not always right.

May God give our Leaders wisdom to lead us aright and may God give them profiting ears.
