No doubt you are right.Point is which hue of Pakistani spectrum are you representing?We do not know the views one should take note of,Civilian Government,Army, within the army Kayani or others,ISI,Nawaz Sharief or Gilani?.
For some of these gentlemen Al Qeda/Taliban doesn’t exist;even if it does it is not in Pakistan.Pakistan media cries foul when Drone attacks.
Well meaning people of Pakistan must get rid of the confusion, usher in real Democracy and speak in one voice;only then world can take action.
Story:
The overpowered people of Waziristan are angry. They believe no one in their entire history has inflicted so much insult on them as al Qaeda. In our native land, they say, al Qaeda has killed so many of us. Anyone in the world who has gone mad in the name of religion has come to occupy our land. They are Arabs, Central Asians, Caucasians and Africans. They are people with black, brown, blue and green eyes. They are brown, black and white. They all have chosen our land for their sinister designs against all civilisations. No self-respecting people, they argue, can accept this situation.
The ball is now in the US’s court. Their action or inaction against the terrorists in Waziristan would either confirm their image in the Muslim world as an imperial power destabilising Muslim societies in the name of the war on terror or would challenge that image, at least in FATA and the NWFP, the Muslim society on the frontline of the war on terror. The people of Waziristan hope the US challenges that image through the elimination of all terrorists — al Qaeda or the Taliban — in Waziristan.
