Guns n Roses

By Sanket 'not talking about rock music' Kambli

It happened once, will it happen once again.

US used to be called the land of opportunity, well opportunity hasn't gone down.

But the restrictions have, post WTC attack.

US have made visa rules stricter.

People are thinking, what is wrong with the land which embraced them with open arms.

Some are saying, US is doing a wrong thing.

But I disagree; try to think, from their point of view.

This country allowed people of all caste, creed, or color, to settle, grow, and make their dream come true.

They accepted people, gave opportunities, they shared the great American dream with everyone.

But how was it repaid, well, its simple, hurt them where it hurts most, rob them of their 'all American landmarks".

And seeing that the same people, whom they provided a better life, are stabbing them back, what else they could have done?

And now, that they have made some things stricter, for more security, people instead of supporting them, are against them, wouldn't you become protective, if some guests, try and destroy, your house or your family.

Now why have raised this stale (??) issue, will be your question, well, hello, have you forgotten what London city had gone through, last month?

Well this write-up, is in this context, they haven't yet made any, changes similar to US, in terms of security measures.

But whenever, that is done, again, all intellectuals and pseudo-intellectuals will start lashing out, against all these protectionist measures, saying they are against, the multi-cultural attitude of UK. Which is wrong, as all they are trying to do is protect, take care, like a mother does.

A good thing, is that, London hasn't seen backlashes against migrant communities (esp. Muslim/Sikh), as severe as those experienced by certain Americans.

Let us hope, it doesn't occur, after all we are human's, or am I the only one who is missing a point.

And let us pray for all those who lost their lives in any calamity (natural/man-made).

Let there be peace.

And as to why the title 'Guns n Roses', well it is like this, first Americans welcomed with, say roses, now they welcome with, guns.
