Aslam Baig, Hameed Gul, Nawaz Sharif : Anti-American Alliance?
If you read the column by Arnaud de Borchgrave, who is the editor of Washington Times, you would come to know as how ignorant and flippant American so-called literate elite has become, and how oblivious they have become of the ground realities in Pakistan.
According to this column, Mr. Borchgrave has gravely shook his head and shuddered at the future of Pakistan-US cooperation in the US war against terror by pointing out new imaginery dynamics which has emerged after the elections of 18th February, 2008 in which people of Pakistan has voted in the favor of parliament making the decisions instead of a single person making them on a single phone calls in the wee hours of morning.
I have been avid reader of sites like The Huffington Post, The American Spectator and the editorials of American newspapers and in each and every column I read the columnists and writers describing the virtues of democracy and peace, but when I see the people like Negroponte and Richard Boucher creeping the land of Pakistan for the promotion of tyranny and war, I lament at the dual standards of these columnists.
Arnaud de Borchgrave thinks in his myopia that now due to the “permission” of US to hold free and fair elections in Pakistan, an anti-American trio of General (r) Hamid Gul, General (r) Mirza Aslam Baig and Mian Nawaz Sharif has formed who want to end the US presence in the FATA area at every cost and these three do not consider the militants in FATA as terrorists, rather they consider them freedom fighters of Islam. Arnaud has also warned his administration about the new Army Chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani.
What this column and many like portray is the rising influence of neocons in the US policy formation and I dread that even the new Democratic Administration (Hillary or Obama) wouldn’t be able to contain these hawks. Pakistan shouldn’t be expecting mercy or anything else from anywhere. We are a soverign nation and we have to take our own decisions and we have to defend ourselves.
We always quote about Tipu Sultan that the one day of a tiger is better than the 100 years of jackal, but we never dare. We need to stand in front of US and tell them that we are no longer fighting its war in FATA or anywhere else and we are not willing to kill our own brethren and then we must engage in talks with the angry elements in FATA and bring them in the main political stream.
Kick these Negropontes and Bouchers outta here.
