The Recipe for Endless Terrorism

Columnist Lt Col (Retd) ZAMAN MALIK gives a formula to end

terrorism.

Hasn’t Pakistan been cooperative enough in stamping out Al-qaeda? Hasn’t the USA itself been trying its best to sort out terrorism from within its own geographical boundaries? Hasn’t the USA been providing all the assistance to Israel to arrest the suicide bombers, before they could manage to do so? Has  the USA with its FBI not been providing enough of the expertise  and equipment to India to get rid of terrorism? Why did the USA hesitate then to provide the essential intelligence  to Pakistan likewise, to nip the evil of the suicide bomber in the bud before they could kill 13 Frenchmen in Karachi in May 2002? They were engaged in providing valuable assistance to Pakistan for guarding its legitimate maritime interests. Why the USA has again not been of assistance to Pakistan today (14 June 2002), in Karachi where the suicide bombers managed to kill 10  Pakistanis and injure over  40 of them, by banging their vehicle against the outside of US consulate’s wall? How can the USA assure UK  that the Good Friday agreement of 1998, will continue  to hold between  Ireland and England? How can peace be ensured by handing out the licence  whereby India should be expected to become  the witness, prosecutor and the judge, all by itself? How can the so-called Al-qaeda  elements  be spotted in the most difficult terrain in which intense artillery duels continue to pour routinely, when the whole world perplexingly continue to struggle to trace them out for a pre-emptive, without any considerable successes, in  the settled urban and  rural areas? The world as yet has done no more than puzzling out the complex phenomena  to which it is being subjected. The enigma revealed by the US defence secretary with regard to the gathering of Al-qaeda elements on the Pakistan side of the LoC, without indicating even weebit of an indication is indeed most incomprehensible. Should one rule it out as a mere rumour? Is that the way by which they have made every American citizen scared of even own shadow? Pakistan is too weary to sustain such like jokes, from its allies, for whom it has forgotten to take care of  its own defence that poses it as an alarming threat from its eastern neighbour.

Pakistan is passing through a very critical period of its existence. It is facing three dimensional enemy — from within eastern side, and the western side. The enemy wants to drag on the escalation to cause weariness and out of proportion psychological dismay in terms of economic, socio-political and military considerations, before agreeing to come around the negotiating table. In this struggle, India’s natural allies who have strategical interests to be resolved through India are preferring it over Pakistan that is merely a tool to serve their tactical short-term interests. India has nothing to worry about foreign investments or financial aid. Like 1959, USA has once again revitalized her alliance  (secret military alliance) with India, during Vajpayee’s visit to that country. India remains the darling as it was since before partition.

Why were the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan left to the whims of Mossad’s own selected and trained students, after the defeat of Soviets in 1987? What made the US so alarmingly responsive to do what it is doing in Afghanistan now? Had it stayed only a little while more, it could most certainly have avoided the horrible miseries that its hasty retreat were to cause to the people of that ruined country, for over two decades. Anybody like Karzai could have been spotted for the same purpose, most easily that is being successfully accomplished currently there. Hundreds of thousands of twin towers-like tragedies have been experienced by the Central and South Asia, since 1987, because of the USA that unwise and selfish hasty withdrawal? Pakistan’s own rear was to be left open in 1984, when the Siachin glacier captured by the Indian armed forces. The USA did not bother and its all time old cultivated friend Gen Ziaul Haq also ignored it saying it was a wasteland where not even a blade of grass had ever grown. But he was assured secretly that soon after the Afghanistan’s tangle had been resolved, India would be made to withdraw. For how long more will the people of Asia continue to be used like consumers goods by the USA to serve her own national interests? The answer does not lie so much in the US court as it does in the India’s court. Had the USA cared for what was engraved on the plinth of General Sherman’s statue in Washington, it would have refused to engage itself in the spate of wars, atleast after blasting Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in 1945. The General was infinitely a greater visionary than the most that followed him. He had said: “The legitimate object of war is a more perfect peace.” How many wars that the US has continued to fight were waged and why  has the US not been able to establish peace, can be so easily seen by the entire world. So was pronounced by Liddle Hart also:- “Winning the war means nothing unless the corresponding war aims are set out, at the same time.” What were the war aims of the US administrations and what political goals were set out by them, do not seem to be there all along; otherwise, war after war or conflict after conflict policy would not have been resorted  to by them.

By all probability, Israel (now India too because the Calf/Cow worshippers - the Zionists of the golden Calf and the Hindu racists have made it a common cause to eliminate those who believe in one God, the God of Moses and Muhammad (PBUT), is pressuring American tax payers to spend more and more to serve own hegemonic interests. Israel’s self-publicized population is around 5.8 million. It is consuming more aid from the American tax payers than the combined aid that is provided by them to Africa’s Sahara, Caribbeans, and Latin America. Even if America pours out the entire Kitty for Israel, its thirst for world hegemony will still not be quenched. By itself America was always welcomed almost by all the nations. But its subordination to Israel’s whims is the bone of all contentions that have been witnessed across the globe. In the meanwhile America has also wasted a good deal of National health. It is fast getting addicted to psychotropic drugs such as prozac and retalin. This reflects the socio-economic factors within the US that account for the popularity of addictive drugs amongst the young Americans. Besides, contrary to the US yardstick having been bestowed upon the Americans by the Zionist lobbyists, in their own lights, it is not always the Undemocratic rulers who were the cause of troubles always in the past. For example, Britain colonised and plundered almost half of the world. Hitler came to power democratically. The US dropped nuclear bombs on Japan when it was intensely busy in negotiating peace. Jimmy Carter or King Martin Luther, most probably, would not have done that. The National health may frequently be revitalized by international cross-fertilization, rather than making others to imitate own culture and values forcibly, through carrot and stick or vice versa.

What is the earthly reason for having NATO still to be there? Is it there to replace the UNO which has already been virtually packed up to join its predecessor, in the dust- bin of history? The people of Bosnia Herzegovina which was ruled by Ottoman Empire until 1878, were by and large Muslims. They were forced to flee the homes where their families had lived for centuries. The mythology adopted against them was more or less the same as what is being demonstrated by the BJP’s Hindu fanatics of  POTA, in IHK. The stories of extreme terror and torture by the Muslim’s enemies are quite the similar.  The Serbian forces first of all surrounded a village, gave its  people  an ultimatum — if the village did not surrender everyone would be killed — and then after surrender all were always killed, except the young women who were subjected  to mass rape. The wealth and power of the Muslim elite and the concern of the western human values and emotions was totally invisible everywhere on earth. The same is being witnessed once again in the IHK. Media, the monopoly of the Jewish lobbyist and the Hindutva’s Indian BJP, has managed to keep the lid tight over all the atrocities being perpetrated across the LoC. Is it for this reason that the Indian government do not allow international or UNO forces to be stationed on the LoC as well as in the IHK itself, in order to hide its genocide and dishonouring  of the Muslim women? Where are the world women organizations; where are the human rights organizations; where is the Amnesty International; where are the smelly nose Wall Street Journal’s where is the BBC and where has the CNN gone; and where is the International Jurists Council (IJC)? You, all of you, made the torture and rape of the Bosnians possible by your well-considered silence and all of you are repeating the same here in IHK! When will you, if ever, come to see, recognize and realize the gravity of the situation?

Not content the policy of ‘Deterrence and Containment’, the US President G W Bush while addressing the West Point (the most prestigious academy of America) proclaimed a new strategy of action — the pre-emptive. It was designed to demolish the cunnundrum before it happens to come to life. “We must take the battle to the enemy disrupt his plans and confront the worst terrors before they emerge... The strategy of action calls for uncovering  terror in  more than 60 countries ...” Lo and behold!  The unilateral bombardment across the globe, besides creating havoc and dread, will never end. It rather seems more like a tool to accelerating terrorism than a recipe to crush it. By all probability, the American tax -payers would do well to stop the madness of their controller before they are caught up by severe exhaustion. Civilizations are cyclic and repetitive, they know most certainly already! They can do so, there is some time before, the Administration gets entangled irretrievably. UK’s policy of producing smaller nuclear bombs will provide excuse to others. The roots of terror lie in America itself. A whole generation of Muslim radicals was nourished and mobilised against the Soviets, only to walk away disgracefully in a hurry to resume new adventures against Iraq — the country of their own sweet chum Saddam Hussain. What is being made to happen through Vajpayee and Sheron amounts to wreaking deliberate destruction of the Muslim regions, at a time? The symphony of the Media Lords, appears like creating Bosnia-like  conditions — wear and tear them financially and psychologically, before considering the proposal of  Crown Prince Faisal  or accept bilateral negotiations from Pakistan! Muslims are bidden  to mobilize their entire  resources to avert the evil designs of Indo-Israeli nexus, by suitable cooperation and coordination in psychological, political, economic and diplomatic fields. The adversary commands the might of the world sole super power. The geo-political strategists must never fall prey to emotionalism and sentimentalism. They must read the pulse of time. Curse be on who do not cooperate with the government and look at  the outside world to help them get into the saddle. They cared two hoots for constitutions for which they are now crying hoarse. They are confronted with a very practical and down to earth type of concept which warrants the use of common sense and hard calculations. Intuitions or feelings, got us slavery of the British for centuries; they must recall. Islam is not our problem; our forefathers were good Muslims; we can follow them like always without having been smeared by others. Unity is our motto and Pakistan is our country.
