Young people die for old men

The Mumbai terror attacks brought to mind this quote from the movie Lawrence of Arabia as said by the Feisal

'Young men make wars, and the virtues of war are the virtues of young men – courage and hope for the future. Then old men make the peace, and the vices of peace are the vices of old men – mistrust and caution. It must be so.'

There is no Jannat for the young. Just a wasted young life for the ambitions, prejudices and fantasies of old men.
