Millennium Development Goals: A Second Look

Work Bank, United Nation and organizations similar worked together to
produce 8 development goals which they want to achieve in this
millennium. They set targets and indicators for each goal. They
continuously monitor the progress and take actions accordingly.
First, these people placed themselves in a position by force without
anyone nominating them to hold that position. That position is the job
of 'Designing Development Goals'. Who nominated them to do such a
job? What qualification do they have to do such a job?
Working on the 'Development Goals' requires the understanding of
'development' first. What is development? The target of development
is Human. So, what causes human to be happy? Does money guarantee
happiness? Does physical health guarantee happiness? What is happiness?
We Muslims can strongly claim that we hold the key answers to these
difficult questions, and we only hold the key elements to dictate a
plan for Development in this world.
That is surely a very powerful statement that require similarly
powerful argument and proof. Powerful statement when is not coupled
with powerful arguments becomes dictatorship. For example, G. W. Bush
always says powerful arguments like 'We are there in Iraq to
guarantee freedom, and to combat terrorism', but since he has no
evidence in support, he became the biggest icon for fun and hate alike.
