Dear Najib Sahib,
Of course, the articles should be
simple to read and understand. Often enough, people loose direction in
an effort to make their writings wordy, heavy and dense. It was a brief
narration of current affairs, not a treatise on quantum physics.
It was only a two page article to
address the most obvious cause/effect situation highlighting the most
pertinent and prominent cause. One cannot ignore the fact that this
women (BB), after (allegedly) stealing millions of dollars out of the
poorest country’s coffer, is now allowed back in Pakistan only to scream
her lungs out claiming her right to be the queen, the third time around.
All this because she is sitting under the Bush-CIA protective umbrella.
In my article, no effort was made to cover all other factors involved in
turning the country of 150 million people into a complete shamble and a
madhouse. I agree, the previous governments have been as bad as the
present. But, then, the government is not run by one person, there are
many influential and powerful, mostly corrupt, people with their big,
ugly and sticky fingers stuck in the governmental pie.
It needs a book to talk about all
the relevant aspects of life in
Pakistan governing its progress and direction. But during the
last six years, the war on terror has taken a heavy toll in Muslim
countries, especially those which aspire to develop (nuclear)
technology.
Pakistan continues to pay heavy price to keep Uncle Sam happy
as it (Pakistan) does not want to be bombed and reverted back
to the stone-age. Uncle Sam can do it at the slightest of the excuses.
I keep repeating it and my audience
keeps ignoring the fact that half a dozen or so Western countries DO
not want to see the whole world to become developed and their equal.
Remember, one is tall only as long as all others are short!
Under no circumstances, I will
ignore the fact that our own people are equally responsible for the mess
that is getting from bad to worse. But then, again, the socio-economic,
political and cultural environment that we have today, was not
necessarily created after 1947, we inherited it from the British Raj,
It was handed down to us, we adopted it as there was nothing else to go
by. It was designed to be good for the Raj, not for us.
People keep throwing the example of
India as the biggest democracy (it has become a fashion now
perhaps subconsciously, they want to repeat what Bush says). In
practical terms, the only difference between
Pakistan and
India is that right from day one, Nehru, in his wisdom,
introduced a system that regularly elects a few hundred people to sit in
the Parliament. (I agree there are advantages of doing this). If Jinnah
was around for a little longer, I am sure he would have started some
thing similar. All those jokers who had the power since 1948, after
Jinnah, were not intelligent enough and did not think beyond their
personal bank accounts. Looking at the social and cultural problems of
the two countries, there is hardly any difference.
Ever since
Columbus came to the
Americas in 1492, there have been, only a handful few
countries that have been affluent while all others have merely struggled
to survive. In recent years, some nations are waking up and old
conventional powers are slowly losing grip on power.
Curbing the nuclear proliferation is
yet another slogan in disguise to stop others to become equal. Who is to
say that tens of thousands of nuclear warheads in the hands the
Americans, Israelis, Russians, French, Chinese, Indians and the British
are exactly a guarantee for the world peace and safety that can be
compromised if
Pakistan,
Iran and
North Korea will also have it? The Americans are the least
reliable and trustworthy of them all as they are completely under
Zionist control. Strategically speaking,
Pakistan made a huge big mistake by including the Libyan
clowns into the nuclear club. Instead,
Pakistan should have made every effort to make
Iran and
North Korea acquire the necessary technology, quickly and
quietly.
In yesterday’s Toronto Star, there
was an article by a (Thakur), professor of Political Science at
Waterloo
University who mocked Q. Khan for running a “Nuclear
Bazar”. But
Pakistan has every right to celebrate Q. Khan and his work.
Professor Thakur’s comments in his article reminds me of how the British
Raj dealt with Indian fabric industry and its artisans in the
middle and late 19th century in order to flourish this trade
in England at the cost of the Indian industry.
Make no mistake about it, the nukes
are only dangerous, if only a few chosen ones have them while others do
not. We must not uphold values of others that have no benefits for us.
Let the Americans show their concern as they want for nuclear
proliferation, the developing countries need to develop whatever
technologies they need as fast as they can – that goes for the nuclear
technology including the nukes where necessary. The American concerns
are not in any way in the interest of the world at large, but they have
deep seated, selfish interest to maintain their supremacy for as long as
possible.
The chaos that you see in
Pakistan today is only the first step of an American plan to
install a weak, self serving government ready to sell their mothers just
to be in power. They will soon part with the nuclear technology for
which is an important asset of
Pakistan. Remember, nuclear technology does not necessarily
mean the nuclear bombs, but most importantly, its peaceful applications
to generate electricity, which is extremely vital and essential for
Pakistan’s future.
The bottom line of this all is: the
US is trying to install BB as a weak puppet to get to the
Pakistani nuclear technology.
