American intervention in Korea or Vietnam, Afghanistan or Iraq or in other parts of the world had its critics rush to target it in the most unsavory terms. That could be justified on ideological grounds during the cold war. There was need for justification for intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan. It divided global opinion; some convinced of such action after the insane 9/11 incident, others criticizing it as a mask to indulge in unrestrained military action without lawful sanction as the United Nations had not authorized America to do that. Even the American public opinion did not entirely support the government. The count of American body bags hardly could be justified. Similarly the meltdown of the economy could not be welcomed. America had been routinely riled for behaving like the world’s “policeman”. But the hard reality is that America is the only policeman of the world today and is needed by the world. But for America democracy everywhere in the world would be threatened like it is in Pakistan or in many other countries. America has played the leadership role in world affairs after the II-WW and till date. There does not appear any other super power/power in the world to discharge that role. Were it not so the ISIS would have been wiped out long before it has perpetrated barbaric acts against all humanity for so long unchecked. While the uncivilized massacres of innocent Assyrian Christians, Turkman Shias, Shabak Shias, Yazidis, Kakai and Sabean Mandaeans, Arabs and Sunni Muslims opposed to ISIS and inhumanity that neither the Devil nor God permits of beheading American journalists, United Nations relief workers, foreigners in Iraq continued for months, all voices thriving on anti-American rhetoric fell silent. Even the most vocal international organizations working for human rights or global peace were muted, for they dreaded the ISIS more than followed their human conscience. Can the barbarity and savagery of organizations like the ISIS be allowed to go on unchallenged even for a day? The world has to sit up and take notice, as what is under threat is the very survival of all human values, civilization and culture. Such challenges are not for one country to face but for the entire human society as one single entity.
