according to Mr. Deepak Chopra
Haven’t taken Deepak Chopra or any other spiritual modern guru seriously these da
ys. So when Deepak Chopra said that war on terrorism is OXYMORON at CNN’s Larry King Show, I was surprised. This is the guy that never put himself to any shed of political light or seems always in the trance of love and divine world. He definitely classify as the Man of The Year if he able to say the same chant at FOX News!!! 
(whistful thinking yeah…)
Deepak Chopra on his interview with Larry King supposedly talked about his new book: Jesus: A Story of Enlighment instead he was caught to the conversation around the attack of Mumbai and ended up declaring war on terrorism is an oxymoron. He believed that the phrase of war on terrorism should be stopped. There’s supposed to be a creative solution which not isolate certain groups. The war at this moment, is a contest of who’s mistake and blaming certain groups which then at the end of the day will be a good reason for those of wrongly accused group to act out of despair. To actually act it out as the terror bearer.
In Larry King’s, Chopra dared to point out that in other part of the world, US army sent a mechanized death from 35,000 feet above sea level which caused innocent people killed time to time, just because they wore uniform, the victim unable to call it an act of terror. According to Mr. Chopra, the word terror especially terrorism is applied for both parties. From his perspective it only can be stopped with an act of working together between government and furthermore will be happen with the help of the moslem community. He rendered his hope to elected US president, Obama, to start including moslem community toward the creative solution to stop this chain of terror and not isolating them.
A very healthy hope. The war against terrorism has been waged for the past 8 years without much good results. Victims of this war joined the militant groups as a result of despair. The chain violence seems unbreakable. The militant group that attacks Mumbai today consists of young men age 20’s. It is scarry to think those that hold the weapon are so young yet able to do the unthinkable. Perhaps it is a time to actually stop making weapons and spends the money to a better objectives such as actual war against poverty wouldn’t be too bad idea. Or perhaps making the AIDS medicine accessible to all. Or any other good deeds. The new year is approaching and every new year offers hope but why I think at some level we know we as human won’t change to be the part of hope that we want to be…?
Dear colleague, we, idealistically, of course share the good intentions of the guru.
But at the same time it’s slightly non-committal; almost anybody will state his/her wish for peace. Nevertheless the military-technological-complex ( former MIC) will not stop to exist, I guess. Especially in unstable times external enemies are very much in demand.
And may be his analysis is a little premature in as far as Mumbai is concerned,because at this moment nothing much is clear about the background of these attacks.
