Rubbish Democracy

I completely fail to understand this mantra about continuing democracy at all costs. What rubbish! Why should democracy continue if the current democratic setup has proved itself to be corrupt beyond repair? Not only that, but after the Memogate Treason, it has proved to be traitorous as well. I do not want such a rubbish democracy. For all I care, it can go out of the window today.

That's Right, Armed Forces should not come under Civilian Command in Pakistan

In Pakistan, this is true.

That is because the Institute of Armed Forces of Pakistan is at least faithful to the existence, security and sovereignty of Pakistan even if not to the Muslim nationalism. While some of the civilian politicians of Pakistan come into power with the sole objective of grabbing and filling their pockets with as much money as possible. Some of them do not expect to be stay around long, or get another chance. Hence, they would do anything, anything at all to gain their monetary objectives in as short a time as possible, including compromising the state sovereignty, selling out state secrets and committing high treason.

Ideally, the army should be under civilian command, but not in a country where there is no strong, comprehensive and non-compromising moral criterion for political eligibility.

Will Pakistan get stung again like the NATO Mohmand Airstrike?

Will Pakistan get stung again? Of course, it will.

Prophet Muhammed SAW said, ‘A Momin does not get stung twice from the same hole’. [Mishkat]

If we ease up and re-open NATO supply lines, do not evacuate foreigners from our airbases other than Shamsi as well and do not block air-corridor for the so-called war-on-terror, we will surely get stung again.

If Pakistan does and continues the above grave mistakes, then the blood of our martyred soldiers will no longer be on foreign hands, but our own hands.

Should We be Grateful for US Civilian Aid to-be-continued?

Our sister Aafia Siddiqui lies raped in their prisons. Our brothers remain trapped and tortured in their Guantanamo Bays. Their drones have killed and made homeless hundreds of our children.

Is our character so dog-like that we are expected to feel pleased and grateful for the statement of continued US to Pakistan civilian aid?

Bravo Bonn Boycott

I would like to greatly appreciate the firm stance the government has taken by boycotting the Bonn conference, cutting-off NATO supply-lines and having Shamsi airbase evacuated.

It is hard to believe Pakistan can be so brave and sensible.

However, as citizens, it is our job to appreciate anything good whenever it happens.

Pakistan should also shut down all other rented-out war airbases, block war airspace facility and expel all undercover foreign agents in the country.

I hope Pakistan does not do a u-turn on its stance like it did in the Raymond David case, and change its foreign policy permanently for the good.

Do Not Compromise Memogate Treason

The nation would have to be mentally retarded not to understand the link between the Memogate Issue and President Asif Ali Zardari’s sudden illness.

If the leaders and institutes of Pakistan allow the perpetrators of the Memogate Treason to simply leave their offices or the country unpunished, it will be a criminal decision and set a criminal precedent for people to commit treason in the future as well and then resign to avoid punishment.

Framing Pakistan for Afghanistan

Ten years ago, America said regarding its so-called war-on-terror, ‘Either you are with us or against us…’, which blackmailed Pakistan into becoming an ally.

Today, the same tactic is being used when Kerry Lugar says, ‘Not going to the Bon Convention will give the message that Pakistan is not serious about peace in the region’.

Please, stop putting words in Pakistan’s mouth and it is about time Pakistan recognizes these arm-twisting tactics and not succumb to unwanted pressures.
