Do More United States
By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman • Aug 2nd, 2008 • Category: Politics • 6 CommentsHearts and minds have to be won to win the war on terror, and its time United States must learn this point, otherwise the blood of people would keep on spilling in vain, and the thoughtless mantra of “Do More”, which is still there has to be abolished.
The border between Pakistan and Afghanistan is 2460km long, and on the Afghanistan side there are only 37 posts of US and NATO, where as on the Pakistani side the check posts are in thousands. So who needs to do more? Almost daily, missiles land on the Pakistani territory, and put the Pakistan in difficulty, because civilians get killed in such blind attacks. US even fails to stop illegal immigrants from Mexico, and repeating the same failure in Afghanistan.
One thing is pretty much clear that our Prime Minsiter Yousuf Raza Gilani has failed to convince George W. Bush to change the strategy in Afghanistan and towards the tribal region of of Pakistan. Afghanistan and India are getting more and more intimidating towards Pakistan, and our premier didn’t utter a word about it. He never on record protested with the US authorities over the US attacks in FATA.
The whole focus of Premier’s visit was diluted and its failure went to into background as the needless fiasco of ISI change of command occurred. The tour was all mismanaged and without any mettle from start to end, and the way things were executed by the massive entourage of premier was painful to watch.
Millions of dollars were promised by US as a donation to Pakistan, and millions of dollars were wasted by the premier and his cronies during the visit.

with all due respect and my apologies in advance if i’m mistaken somewhere.
what makes us believe that we fight for the cause of America? One hand we admit US’s supremacy on the world, the other hand we think that they’re threatened by some mullah’s & insecurity causes them to launch war on terror… confusing.
We are fighting. The mullah’s kill in the name of jihad without realizing that they’re killing the innocent, poor people. (benazir was an exception, which also i believe is an inside job). And there’s no room for dialogue with people who just cannot understand the basic principles of HUMANITY. If the government decides to take a step on NATIONAL INTEREST, the common man is supposed to stand by the government and show all due respect to the decision, which is only in their own interest. On the contrary, the government has always been left aloof whenever they’ve decided anything (its our history)….
whatever differences we have with Prime Minister Gillani, he should be given the respect of the position he holds. ENGLISH should not be a criteria of judging someone’s ability and skill. He is the Prime Minister of Pakistan, and we need to take pride in him no matter what happens.
(i personally hate ppp, infact all political parties, except PML Q & Hon’ble Musharraf sb.) but its not about ppp or any other thing, its about Pakistan.
The governnment have been compelled to take military actions against the fanatics, Hon’ble President escaped 2/3 suicidal attacks, Former Minister Sherpao sb. escaped a couple of attacks and similar incidents led the government to track the workers of the game and they had to take actions against forces who’re working to destabilize pakistan, destroy and completely shatter pakistan’s global image and most importantly they’re the devil workers who’re mis using ISLAM for all this.

With your kind permission I dare to say:
DUSHMAN MARAY TAY KHUSHI NA KARIAY, SAJNAAN VI MARJANA
Extreme, hateful, Division in groups, religion, politics, pesonalities and so on making our nation weak. We all have democratic right to oppose, support, and disagree with each other, WE MUST AGREE TO DISAGREE.
Mullahs are an important part of this nation, millions of Muslims pray after them, and respect them, and they are not killers at all. ( May be you meant bearded man, they are not all Mullahs )
Pakistan People’s Party is one of the largest political party, and has support of Pakistani Awam. I am not fan, but I respect people who support it, and sometime I oppose it’s leadership. But we learn to respect each other, WE ARE ALL GREAT PAKISTANI, UNITED WE STAND. LOVE NOT HATE
with love, Khush raho Abad raho, Saeed
I totally agree with you Saeed Bhai. Spot on.
Here Pakistanis are the hired gun Fetish. They very willingly opted to work as Mercenaries along Pak-Afghan Border area as puppeteer. They are only told; ‘to do more’ because they are paid off handsomely for the services; to keep the flags of Terror high in this area.
Where as the extremist lot; these hirelings can say or do any damn thing they want to, because they are also the ones who make money out of killing and to act as puppets; haven’t we seen….how cheerful they slaughter; who so ever comes into their trap.
Brig. Zaman, don’t be too harsh on PM Gilani for not being able to convince Bush of something. No one can convince Bush of anything. That’s one of the main problems here. The Bush record speaks for itself…he’s one of the worse leaders in history. So don’t be too harsh on Gilani for not being able to do what others have tried and failed. Unless some major event happens that forces a change, there won’t be any real change in American policy in Afghanistan until after a new American President takes charge. That’s the reality.
