Sixth Friday Sem1011 Nov 16, 1990 disturbed with such happenings. As such, when passions and revenge are excited, how could one channel these in the right directions. Revenge, then, does not see a balanced course of action. It rises like a flood and it is not possible for the flood waters to keep within the river banks. Flood is the very name of that water which over-flows the river banks. So the passion and revenge spills over the limits and as a result of it, excesses which you have witnessed, are committed. But then the revenge that was taken against Iran, was to use Iraq against that country. They used Iraq in this way that there was a historical conflict of borders between Iran and Iraq and the two nations had never agreed as to where the Iranian borders end and Iraq's borders begin; or where Iraqi borders end and the Iranian borders start. These differences were always kepi in view by these advanced and clever nations and they exploited these differences on this occasion. They encouraged and coaxed Iraq and promised to offer help. When I wrote in my book: "Murder in the Name of Allah" that Saudi Arabia had also helped the Iraqis, and that it was Saudi Arabia, which had incited them; some people asked, as to what proof I had and that I was simply conjecturing. Now the proof has become evident. Saudi Arabia is now saying openly that Iraq is an unjust country, since it was Saudi Arabia that gave Iraq the means to fight with Iran and now it is giving us a menacing look. So the fact has now become open before the world. What I am saying is that many dangers are suppressed at the moment in various places and these suppressed dangers have numerous forms, the conflict of Kashmir is also one of them and there are many other conflicts. These powerful Western nations take notice of these suppressed dangers and as one makes maps to show the mineral deposits, similarly they make political maps indicating areas of possible conflict. These smart, advanced and educated countries have such official maps and they know, when to rouse certain danger and explode certain "bombs". These intentions remain dormant and only come to the surface, when their selfish interests force them to execute them; otherwise they remain in their minds and constitute a part of "Western diplomacy". The sad part is that Muslim countries as well as the Hindu and Buddhist countries have also become involved in the same politics. This unjust politics has overwhelmed the whole world 116
