I will say that Gandhiji was a great man. The way he shook the very foundations of the British empire is praise worthy. We are now realising what Gandhiji achieved is remarkable.
Contrast this to what is happening presently in Middle East. Obama is hell bent on invading a "sovereign country" and impose the US might on its hapless citizens. People may tell that UK parliament has rejected the proposal of Britain to take part in the conflict.
But it is foolish because as has been pointed out before British special service have always been part of the Syrian rebels. As is available in several sources. And it is not now. It is since 2011. Where was the parliament then? Without the Western support and Turkey, Qatar and Saudi support the rebels would not have been able to reach where they have in the first place.
And Israel let us not talk about that country. If US or France or Britain take part in a war which "furthers the Israeli agenda", there is no reason for Israel to take part in that war. It is the same thing as Israel fighting the war.
It is clear that US and Obama are not interested in promoting democracy at all. All they want is to give lucrative contracts to defense companies and further the Israeli agenda. But they do not realise that in this process millions of ordinary people get killed and maimed and lose 'their life in this world'. This world belongs to all people and not just to Israel or US or France alone. It belongs to ordinary citizens residing in towns and cities and villages and countryside. It does not belong to people living tens of thousands of kms away. That is what sovereignty is about.
And there is nothing as a "surgical or limited strike". If you attack even one target you have violated the sovereignty of that country. It is worse than rape. It would be the same thing as 'rape and murder' because not only have you violated that country you are killing the people as well. People may be whomsoever, they could be defense, security, civilians or kids. You have no right to take the life of another. A human life is priceless. Human life is the 'creation of God'. Not like defense equipment which have a price tag and are human creation. And there is nothing as 'limited'. US will get more and more involved and then the victims number would mount to millions. US may take pride that they do not have losses or their losses may be in hundreds. But the country being invaded would lose millions of people. And the ultimate loser would be humanity and the human race.
Gandhiji gave an important tool in his fight against the 'imperialists' and that was "non-cooperation" and "boycott". We have to boycott the British and American goods if our struggle is to succeed. During Indian independence movement, cloths from UK were burned as Gandhiji encouraged 'homegrown khadi'. Similar movement is required. We can start by boycotting American movies and TV channels. Also we should not cooperate with these imperialists. Money is not everything in this world. Something as 'values and humanity' is also needed.
