The Gulf Crisis and New World Order — Page 280
Fifteenrh Friday Sennon Mar OJ, 1991 So you see, the reality remains the same, but how the scenes change with the changing times! Similarly, this scene changes as we see the incident from a different angle. If we view the present situation from the angle of observation of the U. S. , it would look as one says in the hunter's parlance - "to heel" (i. e. to tame a dog lo follow one's heels) that the U. S. succeeded in 'heeling' Britain and France. It also 'heeled' the Soviet Union and Germany. In short, the U. S. 'heeled' many allies, and then in their footsteps a host of other countries were 'heeled' with the hope that after the "kill", they would have their share in accordance with their ranking. SHOUTS OF KUWAIT- KUWAIT - KUWAIT This army on the march, comprising the hunters and their heeled allies, could be heard shouting "Kuwait-Kuwait-Kuwait"; while those who were following them were sharpening their teeth in preparation as to when, on the pretext of Kuwait, they would have the opportunity to hunt down Iraq! So this is one of the viewpoints of this scene. Let us see this war from the viewpoint of Israel. Israel would be thinking, and is justified to think so, that it had succeeded in heeling the U. S. and all its allies. All the heeled creatures were following Israel, yet oblivious of the fact that this "hunter" was such that it would turn around and pounce upon each one of the heeled species in succession, to feast upon the carcass. This is another spectacle of the same event viewed from another angle, yet the reality remains the same, but its interpretation changes according to ones understanding. It is only the future that will show as to who was heeled by whom! The human mind displays a wonderful phenomenon on sounds as well. Different interpretations are deduced from the same voice. One voice which the world perceives is that the limbs of Iraq are being broken so that it could never dare again attack Kuwait. As if the ultimate objective of the entire world was to p reserve the entity of Kuwait, while every country of the world was free to attack any other country at will! It is only Kuwait which no one is allowed to attack. Thus the outcry of "Kuwait-Kuwait-Kuwait" is aimed al forming this picture in the minds of one part of the world. But if the same voice is heard through the ears of Israel, it means to her that Iraq is being dismembered so that it may never ever dream of posing a threat to Israel. It is a lesson not only for Iraq but for every country 280
