So Saddham Hussein--the "sadman of Iraq," murderer, and possessor of weapons of mass destruction--is finally caught like a rat. He was hiding in a "spider hole," in a farm near his hometown of Tikrit, not far from one of palatial palaces that he had built for himself by River Tigris. And everyone is raising a high five and slapping each other's back with misguided belief that they have begun to see light at end of tunnel.

They say that road to Jerusalem and in fact to world peace, starts from Baghdad. And now that erstwhile leader of "evil regime" has been nabbed, should they not roll out ukulele and begin to celebrate end of terrorism, weapons of mass murder, and mass graves? But no--not yet "uhuru," a East African word for freedom. And not yet eureka. Because worst is still to come.

This is message that I am sending out to powers that be with my controversial book, "CHASING SHADOWS!" (A book that reveals terrorists' master plan to finally set world on fire!) So 9/11 may well be a picnic at beach--a tip of iceberg. Because those very factors that cause terrorism--the political, economic, social, religious, health, and environmental problems bedeviling world--are still present, and there has not been any conscious effort to address them. We are, therefore, chasing shadows--fighting effect instead of cause, symptom and not disease.

According to American thinker, George Santayana, "those who cannot remember past are condemned to repeat it." The fact is that man is short sighted. Neither Saddham Hussein nor Osama bin Laden, is originator of terrorism. This evil has been around for some 6,000 years, and world conditions have been getting worse with passing of day.

Dictators have existed throughout history. From industrialized Europe to impoverished Latin Americas. From "Banana" republics of Asia to "failed states" of Africa. Some have passed on and others have clung on to power for decades. And new ones will emerge.

The Uygur are a Turkic/Muslim ethnic group numbering some 7 million who live mainly in economically and strategically important north western border region known as Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

A Caucasian race and speaking Turkic language Uygur have long harbored sentiments of independence and there were several isolated incidences of violence perpetrated in 1990s by individuals or small groups claiming to represent this cause. More realistically today Uygur generally seek nothing more than greater autonomy and cultural integrity within PRC

The Chinese have repeatedly claimed that there existed several well organised and active "separatist/ terrorist" organisations whose objective were for Uygur to gain independence from China and establishment of state of East Turkestan.

They have attributed some 400 terrorist acts to these groups which they claim have resulted in 200 deaths and 400 injured to these groups since 1990.

On basis of this "organised" and "ongoing" terrorist activity PRC has very heavily cracked down on any form of dissent, rights of association, free speech and religious freedom. Amnesty International, among other groups and commentators, has claimed numerous incidence of unlawful detention, prison sentences and even executions in name of "War on Terrorism".

It is also claimed, by some who are knowledgeable in "Uygur Question", that like some other states in Central Asia and elsewhere, China have used events of "9/11" and subsequent "War on Terrorism" to mask ongoing and premeditated attacks on this ethnic group. By bringing their policies concerning Uygur under banner of The "War" they have been successful in achieving their objectives without international scrutiny, and further, in fact, likes of US have turned a "blind eye" to these activities as a trade off for Chinese support.
