A
policeman in Pakistan on patrol: Is Washington disrespecting
Pakistan's sovereignty and its security forces?

This Time, the Americans
Have Gone Too Far!

Yankee abused the Pakistani with a number of choice expletives, rushed back
into the embassy, took out a weapon and threatened him. Yet this American scum
of the earth still remains on his post - untouched!"

Have the Americans hired
Pakistan on lease to make it their colony and its people their slaves? Has it
been auctioned out to them to make a Wild West and their sprawling ranch of it?
Startling reports are rife of American diplomats roaming free and defiantly on
Islamabad's roads, in cars with no diplomatic plates, loaded with guns and
making outstation trips without even obtaining the required permission of
Pakistan's authorities - and now we have reports of a still more alarming
episode.
The story goes that one of
the security minions at the American Embassy in Islamabad stopped a senior
Pakistani police officer from travelling past the embassy on a public road. When
the officer protested, the Yankee first abused the Pakistani with a number of
choice expletives, rushed back into the embassy, took out a lethal weapon and menacingly
threatened him. Yet this American scum of the earth still remains on
his post - untouched! Had this been even a banana republic with a modicum of
national dignity, the rascal would have been kicked out instantly. But not here
in this republic, which boasts of being a nuclear power - even if he has abused
this country and its people; even though he's become his own law on our own
land.
More shamefully, Pakistan's
officialdom is more intent on playing down the wicked exploits of American
bullies like this ruffian at the U.S. embassy. They arrogantly and
hubristically flout our laws, yet so sold out to American imperialists is our
unworthy officialdom that it goes whole hog to protect these breakers of our
laws instead of taking them to task.
Why was this American loafer
not expelled at once? Instead of being wishy-washy on this episode, the Foreign
Office must come straight. Its pussyfooted mandarins and their spineless political
bosses may have surrendered our national prestige at their American lords'
imperial court, but Pakistan's people have not. They hold their national
prestige and sovereignty dearest to their hearts and they want a straight
answer as to why has this American bully hasn't been thrown out with a kick to
his buttocks.
Already, Pakistanis are
greatly miffed at the American Embassy's plans for a massive expansion,
doubtlessly with the concurrence of Pakistani top hierarchy. The plan will
recreate Baghdad's highly-restricted Green Zone in Pakistan's federal capital.
And Pakistanis are deeply disturbed at American plans to staff this expanded
complex with hundreds of Marines, equipping it with scores of armored vehicles,
to say nothing of installing the most sophisticated communications system for
eavesdropping. The ruling rabble may not have learned - but our people still
haven't forgotten the searing experience of Badaber -
a base that a military dictator [Muhammad Ayub
Khan] had self-servingly let the Americans build near Peshawar in 1959, on which
they kept a no-go area for ordinary Pakistani citizens and which was closed
even to the country's top echelon, so not even a sparrow knew what they were
doing there.

When the Soviets downed an
American U-2 spy plane in one of their Central Asian Republics and encircled
Peshawar in red, the dreadful reality finally dawned on them. The American
plane had flown from their Badaber base - their
eavesdropping post on the Soviet Union.
Surely, Pakistanis want no
American listening post on their soil, eavesdropping on whom they know not.
Certainly, Pakistan is no personal estate of a [President] Zardari,
a [Prime Minister] Gilani, or any Mian,
Chaudhry, Malik or Sardars. It belongs to 170 million Pakistanis, who quite
too often, have seen poisonous American teeth dug deep into their skins.
They don’t want to be so
bitten again. And since they expect no straight answers from the ruling leadership
and no questions raised by lawmakers - as both are chips off the same block,
they are looking to Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry to
take suo moto
notice of this American felon's criminality and ask our officialdom to tell all
it knows about the American Embassy's expansion plan.
