The Pakistani Spectator

Foreign policies always do have a direct impact on internal affairs. Weaker foreign postures strain interior atmosphere. History tells us time gap (successful) foreign policies made much damage to interior issues of every country. When it comes to safeguard interests of others due to external pressure own interests become hard to safeguard. Sometime, it may loose integrity of a nation and this situation becomes disastrous for the security, safety, prosperity, morality and progress of a piece of land named a country. In recent past, aggressive actions of intelligence services (anywhere in the world) proved disastrous for one country (target) but aftermath could not be avoided, neither by the designers not the executors. Such assumptions made sons of a father enemy of each other.

Talking about the homeland, In new agenda, to fuel deterioration of law and order situation within Pakistan, United Nations Security Council put ban on some organization like Laskar-e-Taiba, Jamat-ud-Dawa etc.

Post earth-quake days (in 2005) many of Pakistanis and foreigners (came to help out earth-quake victims) witnessed humane works to humanity by these and other organization. Al-Rasheed Trust was also one of them.

A few days back, I had to arrange an ambulance for my neighbor (who has to go to hospital due to broken leg), that proper ambulance came was from Ambulance Service of Jamat-ud-Dawa.

Its media time, western media is the most lethal weapon being used to reap desired results world over, the same Indian media is doing in the war to be the 1st in breaking news.

All this scenario must be looked into with proper attention. We have been an agent against our interests. We have earned ‘a lot’ in ‘Afghan Jihad’ but we are now paying back many times than that. Its Time to re-re-re-think our current and future policies. For example, now we have termed ‘heroes’ of Afghan Jihad as ‘terrorists’. Its good for Pakistan that cream of designers of ‘Afghan Jihad’ died in plane crash on August 17, 1988 otherwise we have to handover all of them to USA or India now must have added in current list of 20.

Coming back to the theme of this post. We need to re-re-re-think what we are doing now and what would be required in the future. For example we now clean-up all ‘terrorists’ from FATA, Waziristan etc and all Talibans die in Afghanistan, what would be the demand by US of A in year 2009, 2010 or 2020 or onwards, have we figured that out? Or India keeping terrorist organizations like Bujrung Dil , Shiv Sena, RSS etc inside her may get help from their notorious expertise in near future? If we are attacked will we go and wait for Security Council resolutions? Will we remain saying that air space intruders are ‘permitted’ or ‘doing technical mistakes’. If proves of Mumbai event comes from inside India will we remain silent as we were in case of Samjhota Express Blasts, or we will go the United Nations to ask it to put ban of RAW?

Our technical mistakes started from 1947 when we remained silent on Indian State Terrorism when thousands of innocent migrants (old ones, ladies and childern) to Pakistan were killed brutally.
