Wild beasts on roads

The US has often promoted democracy and human rights selectively, supporting them in some countries while ignoring or opposing them in others. This has been driven by the belief that democracy and human rights are US values and that other countries should adopt them, but only if it aligns with USinterests.

One example of the USA’s ethnocentric attitude in its foreign policy and nitpicking human rights issues is its long standing support for israel in the Palestine-israel conflict. The USA has consistently supported the israeli government’s actions, often at the expense of Palestinian rights and freedom. This support has been reflected in the use of its veto power in the UN to block resolutions critical of israel, and its militarily and financially backing israel. This attitude is driven

The USA’s geopolitical actions have been heavily motivated by its ethnocentric attitude. it has consistently supported its allies, often at the expense of the rights and aspirations of the people of the region, using its military and economic power to further its interests in the region; even if it meant supporting dictators, orchestrating coups and violating the sovereignty of nations. Furthermore, it has been a biased mediator in peace negotiations and has used its veto power in the UN to block resolutions critical of its allies. These actions have contributed to the continuation of conflicts, the violation of human rights and the destabilization of the region. it’s important to understand these actions and the underlying motivations behind them, to be able to critically analyze US foreign policy and its impact on the world.

The price of American exceptionalism, a mask for arrogance and imperialism, has been too high for the world. it’s time for the US to chart a new course that prioritizes humility, cooperation and mutual understanding for the sake of a more just and peaceful world.

The writer is a freelance columnist i recently met an accident due to the same reason. my motorcycle was knocked down on the main Korangi road. i only received minor injuries, but the trauma has remained with me since because anything could have happened. many motorcyclists fall on slippery roads and get badly injured. Some of these accidents are even fatal. While these tankers roam the streets of Karachi like wild beasts and cause casualties, the relevant authorities prefer to play blind. The tanker owners as well as drivers must be held accountable for such accidents. moreover, the authori-ties should specify alternative routes for these monsters, otherwise they would continue to pose risk to commuters’ lives.

WiTh the increasing shortage of water in Karachi, the number of water tankers on the roads has also increased. While these tankers are supposed to facilitate people by providing water, they have become a threat to their lives by spilling water on the roads, driving recklessly, and causing accidents. Those behind the wheel drive carelessly, and the dripping water from the faulty hoses of the tankers make the road slippery. Such roads become hotspots of accidents, particularly for motorcyclists.
