I really wonder who are the real terrorists! One county bombed some other country decades ago, which is till date the biggest bombing operation, with bombs per person on the land ratio, even more than any of the events during the World Wars! Even today, present generation in the bombed country is living under the terror of threat of being blown by a bomb in their garden. And now some other countries are being bombed and being threatened to be bombed by the same 'power', for real reasons that appear to be driven by economics and politics rather than 'bringing peace to the (rest of the) world'!

Haves, have-nots, and modern economics
In modern economies, the ‘have-nots’ spend their lives in aspiring to be ‘haves’ and end up only observing and celebrating the affluent and effluent lifestyles of ‘haves’. This economy does not allow proportion of ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ to deviate from 1: 99. The simple maths it fails to understand is population keeps growing and with that, exponentially, the number of ‘have-nots’. How long would these economies survive against the pressure of billions who are forced with degraded ‘quality of life’ in the search of a mirage called ‘standard of living’…? I suppose what we are witnessing is a birth of that revolt against the modern economies worldover.
