Time To Denuclearize The World For Permanent Peace – OpEd
As reported, Iran has nearly 400 kg of weapon grade uranium which can be used for making a minimum of 10 nuclear bombs- enough to destroy ten big commercial capitals of the world. The existential threat to Israel and the USA has increased. Tracing the uranium in Iran is impossible without regime change. If the uranium is secretly sold to any rogue leader, it may create havoc. At present, a devastating air attack from the USA and Israel may cripple the defense system in Iran; but it will not end the menace of the weapon grade uranium. The USA, Israel, Iran and the entire world pay a heavy price for the ongoing war which originates from the psychopathic obsession for global dominance.
According to Indian mythology, a demon appeased Lord Shiva through austere penance. He received a boon from the lord. According to the boon, the demon could destroy anybody by putting his hand on his head. His name was Bhasmasura. In order to test the boon, the demon wanted to touch Lord Shiva’s head; Lord Shiva ran away in panic. Lord Vishnu appeared and cleverly asked the demon. Why do you waste time in running after Lord Shiva? You can verify the truth by touching your own head. In haste and confusion, the demon touched his head and got destroyed. The USA, Germany, Russia and China supported the nuclear programs in Iran for decades. They should have thought before helping Iran to build nuclear technology. For quick profit they put their future at great risk; today, their massive investment is under threat. They are going to lose more than what they have gained from the nuclear program in Iran. Today the USA and Israel are facing the threat; tomorrow Russia, China and Germany will face it. Now the USA and Israel with the support of other countries can destroy Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. But, this will not end the existential threat. Iran will once again build it with utmost secrecy. Or pass on this technology to like minded nations.
The world community should find a permanent solution to denuclearize the entire world for peace and prosperity. What is the purpose of education, religious preaching, advancement of science and technology which can’t help mankind live with love, fellow feelings and mutual respect? The wealth and weapons in the hands of noble leaders serve humanity. The same wealth and weapons in the hands of an evil person destroys everything around him. The permanent solution lies in establishing a powerful nuclear watch body to take action against errant nuclear aspirants.
Nuclear energy is used for both peaceful purposes as well as for mass destruction. Its production should be stopped in all countries because it is not possible to know the end use of nuclear energy. The world has enough sunlight, wind and water energy to meet its energy needs. It is time to use science and technology to save biodiversity, forest, hills, rivers and oceans for human survival. A war should be waged against poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy, food adulteration and income disparity etc which will increase the productivity of people and generate huge wealth in the long run. The world community should wage a relentless war to liberate the peace loving countries from the grip of strong and powerful nations which will work as a deterrent for the future aggressors. The land, air, hills, forest, crop diversity and ocean belong to the world community and the future generation. The warring nations have no right to destroy it.
