Sir Allama Muhammed Iqbal, one of the greatest poets and thinkers of the last century, once said that “ there would be no peace in the world if there was no peace in Afghanistan” - a deeply entrenched tribal society known for sacrificing precious lives to preserve their rights and dignity.
Those in and around Afghanistan understand the extremely complex nature of this society which even the British Empire failed to conquer as shown by their numerous graveyards. Instead they entered into a peace treaty with Afghans.
PredictionsAlmost a year after Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, when Mujahidin leader Gulbuddin Hikmatyar told that Afghans would wipe out Soviet Union from the world map, no one believed him. True to his predictions, ten years later, Afghans got Soviet Empire to bleed to death. Thus, mighty Russia also learnt a lesson.
Nevertheless, in the case of United States, neither neo con warmongers of disgraced President George Bush nor the newly elected US President Barak Hussein Obama seems to have learnt any lesson despite US-NATO military set backs in the face of fierce resistance from Taliban who now control 93 percent of Afghanistan.
President Obama’s Afghan-Pakistan strategy to fight the so called war on terrorism that includes more troops, new legislation, improved troop training and added civilian expertise, seems to be same as that of the doomed policy of his predecessor George Bush who falsely accused Al Qaeda of masterminding the attacks on the World Trade Centre, invaded Afghanistan within 27 days, toppled the Taliban regime and installed a puppet regime under Ahmed Karzai only to set up military bases all over the country.
Global War on TerrorAlmost all independent studies into the WTC events have exonerated Muslims, including Al Qaeda, stating that they suspect the demolition as an inside job. The Al Qaeda threat was magnified to suit the US designs.
Yet years later today President Obama blaming Al Qaeda of killing of around 3000 people in the WTC indicates that, though the phrase “Global War on Terror” was removed, the attempt at selling the Al Qaeda myth continues and the US designs on the region remain unchanged.
Lesson from historyAfghans, Pashtuns, live on either side of the Afghan-Pakistan border regions. They share the same religious, economic, social values, customs and traditions in their vast, rugged, harsh and hostile mountainous areas.
What happens to people in one side inevitably has its impact on the people on other side of the border. It is almost impossible to differentiate or isolate them. Governed by tribal laws and traditions, Pakistani laws do not apply in some of these areas.
This is the reason why Pakistan had to accommodate Afghan refugees in Pakistan’s border areas with great caution. Therefore, when the Americans send drones inside Pakistan to kill what they describe as suspected Taliban and Al Qaeda members certainly Pakistan is placed in a very difficult situation.
In their traditional dress, they all look alike and how could the American and NATO forces differentiate between civilians and terrorists?
Pakistanis are confused as they find it difficult to understand the logic behind various bomb attacks. For example, Pakistan has very cordial relations with Sri Lanka for decades and the two countries are bound by many common interests. Under such circumstances, why would Pakistanis bomb Sri Lanka cricket team to the detriment of the two countries? The question is who is behind these mysterious bombings which many Pakistanis suspect as the work of foreign elements.
Plight of MuslimsThere are 22 Arab countries, with a population of around 325 million, billions of dollar worth of modern weapons and immense wealth; yet when Israel started slaughtering the starving Palestinians, no one lifted a finger. Instead, the so-called Arab heavy weights facilitated the genocide. The Arab front has collapsed despite fruitless and ridiculous summits.
Some consider President Obama’s new year friendly overtures to Iran as a move to rope in Iran to facilitate his Afghan-Pakistan strategy in the same way President George Bush Sr bribed, blackmailed and silenced Arab rulers when he evicted Iraqi troops from Kuwait and his son George Bush Jr blackmailed the world when he said “you are either with us or with the terrorists” to invade Afghanistan in the immediate aftermath of September 11 events.
Perhaps the policy of regime change and installing puppet regimes and establish military bases continue unabated under President Obama too while the pro-Jewish western media continues to sell its lies to brainwash and prepare the people all over.
The neo cons openly claim that they are not worried about the death, devastation and misery they cause to innocent people in implementing their designs as shown in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Somalia.
Pakistan Press stated under the title “Pakistan: The Final Game Begins” that stage has been set for a false flag attack on America soon that will allow USA to start military operations inside Pakistan, partition the country and get its Nuclear capabilities neutralized! Another 9/11 is inevitable for Zionist Pentagon to win the final game and impose New World Order. Indications are that more Afghan, Pakistan and even innocent American blood is likely to flow to the benefit of weapons industry, corporate conglomerates, Jewish lobbies and Hindu racism that threatens to destabilize India more than any other perceived threat.
But may be the US are not realizing that this time they are going to ignite the first and last Nuclear World War.
