Injustice begets violence
Nur Jahan, Chittagong
We condemn the bomb attacks in London, which were carried out by suicide bombers, in which at least 52 people died and several hundreds have been injured. It is a deplorable act, killing those innocent people, our deep sympathy for the families of the deceased and for those who have been injured. But it is a fact that injustice breeds hatred, and when a person is consumed with rage, desperation etc, he/she will go to any length to take revenge, even at the cost of their own lives. It is not an easy thing to blow oneself up, from sheer despair and anger one will resort to this act. People all over the world should try to understand it. Thousands of people had died in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine and are still dying. They are not attacked by suicide bombers but by helicopter gunshots, missiles, tank shells, cluster bombs, bulldozers etc. Most of them are innocent people, Iraqis are being massacred. So much concern is being shown for the 52 British people, what about those thousands of people who have been killed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine? Are not they human beings? Don't their lives count? America, Britain and other countries should understand that unless there is a peaceful solution to the Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine issues, this sort of terrorist acts would not subside. In his so-called bid for making the world safe, GW Bush actually has made it unsafe by his unjust behaviour.
