We are told, today Pakistan faces the worst crises since its inception. This crisis is named terrorism or talibanization of the country. Since siding with US 'War on Terror' and pressure from United States, Pakistani government is busy killing, kidnapping and torturing their own citizens. This is part of the policy of Musharraf government to walk the tight rope where to keep Americans happy but at the same time do not completely abandon their strategic assets i.e. Taliban or jihadis completely.
The latter is due to the understanding in the ranks of military that US is going to leave the region once her foreign policy objectives are reached, leaving Pakistan with hostile Northern Alliance along with India on western borders. This sounds fair enough on the part of Pakistan facing demands from super power, but US have her own foreign policy objective for Pakistan which is to weaken Pakistan internally through a civil war and destroy Pakistan nuclear deterrent. Part of the policy is to put Pakistan army against its own people.
American presence in the region is due to the rich Caspian Sea resources and to keep check on both Russia and China. This requires Hamid Karzai puppet government to be stabilized. American presence is deeply unpopular amongst the Afghanis who see them as occupiers along with NATO. This view is shared amongst the Pushtoons on both sides of the Durand Line. Faced with rising resistance against the occupation, Americans pushed Pakistan to crack down on Pushtoons on the western borders of Pakistan. However US planned this cleverly, CIA launched covert operations in Pakistan with the full knowledge of Musharraf administration as early as late 2003 and early 2004 killing hundreds on the western borders of Pakistan and Islamabad got the blame. When the people of FATA started to call on the government in Islamabad to stop supporting Americans in this massacre this war became Pakistan's too. "Today what we see in Pakistan in terms of suicide bombings and violence has nothing to do with Islam". Hamid Gul former ISI head quoted in Tehlka magazine saying "These are revenge attacks. The girls who were burnt in Lal Masjid were from Swat. I know that Lal Masjid inmates were ready to surrender."
Musharraf policy to be compliant to every demand of Americans has brought Pakistan to its knees. The rising separatist movement in Baluchistan is also down to not using political solution but violence, causing widespread resentment against Islamabad. Musharraf quoted during the killing of Bugti "Don't push us," "It isn't the 1970s when you can hit and run and hide in the mountains. This time you won't even know what hit you." Instead of retaliating against US operations in Pakistan. Musharraf government saw 'Pakistan interest first' in jointly killing Pakistani citizens along side with US.
United States now made this war Pakistan's problem. Musharraf government is ready for deployment of American troops inside Pakistan. This was revealed by American Centcom chief Admiral William J. Fallen by stating that "Pakistan army seems to be willing for a broad based relationship with American Army for dealing with insurgency in tribal areas and training of the FC (Frontier Constabulary) from American training centre." The deployment of American troops under the guise of training of Pakistani troops will seriously jeopardize the security of Pakistan. Already, several reports have surfaced in the American press regarding the US's intent of conducting Special Forces' operation to steal or destroy Pakistani nuclear assets. Under such circumstances, what "national interest" is being served by inviting the biggest enemy's troops inside the country? Pakistani establishment must realize that US will never deal with Pakistan with honor and dignity Pakistan deserves. In the eyes of Washington, Pakistan remains a slave who they can slap as they wish. Thousands of Pakistani soldiers and people have died in this ‘war on terror' designed to secure American colonial projects.
The killing of Pakistanis and Afghanis at the behest of America must be stopped immediately. The people are aware that America would never want to fight a nuclear Pakistan openly, that is why America wants Pakistan to be weakened through a civil war. Today, the greatest danger to Pakistan is the agent rulers who weaken Pakistan, upon instruction from the enemy. America is given a new lease of life through the daily slaughter of up to thirty to forty Muslims. Was Pakistan ever the victim of such strife before 9-11? Before America's intervention in Pakistan were there suicide attacks, even though jihadi activists and so-called extremists were present previously. So, to call such people the cause of strife is nothing but a falsehood. In fact, this strife is the outcome of Musharraf's senseless policies, under the banner of "Pakistan First." Where is "Pakistan First" when this war is being fought just forty kilometers away from Peshawar and waged against Pakistanis themselves by means of helicopters and tanks? Where is Pakistan first, when Muslims are being killed on both sides in this war, whilst the crusaders are enjoying the show from the comfort of their drawing rooms?
People of Pakistan mustn't keep quiet whilst you witness this oppression. O political parties! Why are do you remain silent about this crime? Instead of mobilising the people on the streets against these rulers, you appeal for aid for the victims of this war in the tribal areas! O sincere officers in the Pakistan army! For how long will you kill your fellow Muslims in support of the US foreign policy objectives? Isn't it time to expel America from the region? Isn't it time to stop the supplies to NATO? For how long will you help this agent Musharraf who is burning down our own house? It is high time you stepped forward and rescued the Muslims from this slavery by providing the material support for the establishment of the Caliphate, which is the only way for success and honour.
