The Gulf Crisis & The New World Order the level of historical remnants. These Western nations are the same who present themselves as great animal-lovers, and use their news media to raise concern about certain endangered species of animals, and make appeals to save them from extinction. But they themselves killed the Red Indian nations that spread throughout the continent, with such savagery that many of these nations are now completely annihilated. There is but a handful of these nations whose mention we now find in the Western history or in their literature. Now they are confined to the realm of their movies or their literature; otherwise most of the tribes are no longer in existence. The atrocities committed against them would need a long narrative. Then the plunder and pillage and coloni1. ation of the African Continent by the European nations is a case in point. How heinous were the atrocities committed against the African nations; how the hundreds of thousands of them were enslaved and sold as chattel! How forcibly slave labour was extracted from them. The U. S. had the greatest demand for these enslaved Africans who were sold as slaves to the American customers. The population profile of the U. S. today presents a grim reminder of this history of the U. S. in the form of existing generations of Black Americans. They remind us of an American historical era when human beings were subjected to such cruelties that imagining it is enough to give one a jittery feeling.

Those ships were in such deplorable condition that, according to American historians themselves - a substantial number of these slave-passengers would die of the hardships they faced on board. Those who still survived, would reach their destination in an undescribable state, and then they were herded like animals again, slave labour was forced upon them, and they were flogged with whips. They were either forced to substitute for animals in pulling the carts of their masters or their ploughs. Whatever tasks were normally assigned to beasts of burden, were forced upon these human beings! So, imagine a nation with such historical record to be clamouri ng today that it is motivated by its humanity and high 139
