'World Order'. You may have, many a time, heard American Presidents declare with the loudest of voices, heard all over the world, "Now, we are going to usher in a new era of World Order. ” A ‘New Era. World Order?' Loud words tall words! But what is this world order?. Is it a total domination of the U. S. over the rest of the world? Is it an 'Order' of enforced peace whereby weak nations will have no choice but to follow the dictates of a powerful people follow their dictates down to the very tunes they play?. New definitions of justice are made here and there, and they are always variable because they are not based on absolute religious principles. Justice changes its definition in Kuwait in its application to the situation of the Gulf Crisis. It changes its definition in application to the situation of Palestine. It changes. its definition in relation to the situation in the South American and Central American states. It changes its definition in application to Eastern European politics and particularly in relation to the Bosnian problem. . It goes on changing its definition from time to time and it is amazing how this jugglery goes on in the name of honour, in the name of justice and in the name of world peace; and no one raises a voice against this. . It is a hollow game! We are just like puppets whose strings are being drawn by unseen faces behind political façades. When shall we awaken to the realities of life, and how shall we change the face of politics so that it becomes universal and there are no two faces to politics, just one?. Unless we achieve this purpose this noble goal - it is impossible to establish any 'World Order' in the world. 8 UNIVERSAL MORAL VALUES, POLITICS & WORLD PEACE
