"They
know they've lost the war but are hard pressed to confess defeat. So now they
want Pakistan to be their scapegoat and whipping boy. No wonder they cry over
their dead but shed not a tear on behalf of ours, gulped up by this spurious
war of theirs."
Jalaluddin Haqqani, some time in the 1990s: A Pastun and a fierce leader of the resistance to Soviet occupation, he now leads a pro-Taliban group of fighters have been mounting increasingly effective attacks on U.S. and Afghan forces.
Prime Minister Gilani’s policy statement spells out succinctly the
enormous sacrifice that this country has rendered in fighting the spurious U.S.-led
war on terror. But who will speak aloud that right from the outset, this war was
fundamentally an enormous hoax? Know this: It was the September 11 terrorist
holocaust that ostensibly prompted the United States into launching this fake
war. But according to its own investigators, the
perpetrators had plotted that thuggish assault in the German city of Hamburg, while
the hijackers had been trained in American aviation academies. So should it have
been Hamburg and these American aviation schools that were taken out, or
Afghanistan, none of who's national was involved in the assault? All of the
attackers were non-Afghans; all were long settled in Western countries; all were
educated in Western universities; some were even frequenters of Western night
clubs; and none were alumni of a religious school or madrassa.

Yet the United States, manipulating
global outrage over the terrible and deadly attack, wangled a decree from the U.N.
Security Council to take on Afghanistan and leading a coalition of foreign
armies to invade and occupy it. But quite intriguingly, after ousting the
ruling Taliban from Kabul in a massive aerial assault, it failed to bring a large
enough force to control the invaded land, which is known for its treacherous
terrain and independent-minded people who are intolerant of foreign invaders. Rather,
they sent a ridiculously puny and inadequately-equipped army.
Yet more intriguingly and without
U.N. approval, instead of a powerful and sustained action to pacify occupied
Afghanistan, the huge and mighty U.S. military took on Iraq in collusion with a
war party of like-minded nations. For this illegal adventurism, it trotted out
the excuse of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass
destruction, which were no-existent, and his ties with al-Qaeda, which were a
figment of its imagination. Not only did that turn out to be patently and conclusively
a ruse; incontrovertible evidence soon surfaced that America's Iraq adventurism
was in fact preplanned, making it obvious as the noonday sun that the American
adventurists had embarked on this spurious war on terror to perpetuate their
geopolitical objectives. Indeed, this was more than obvious when they put just
a few boots on the ground in Afghanistan, and then made no concerted effort
whatsoever to bring the country under Kabul’s writ.
Pakistani leaders should have
seen through the American game. Painfully burned again and again by U.S.
betrayal, our leaders should have thought a thousand times before becoming part
of America's great game. But alas, military ruler Pervez Musharraf, hungering
for international legitimacy, threw a hapless nation in this burning cauldron
of American militarists and neoconservatives, all of whom were out to carve up
this part of the world to their own liking.
Spurning the Taliban was okay;
but jumping aboard this spurious war was not. And this wretched nation is now
left picking up the wages of Musharraf's expediency and foolhardiness. Although
the Americans and their coalition allies descended on Afghanistan saying that
it had become al-Qaeda’s nesting place and global terrorism’s hub, they left
their smallish armies to remain luxuriously ensconced within their Kabul and Bagram redoubts as if on some kind of sightseeing trip
rather than a campaign of pacification.
And when in 2006, after much
quibbling and bickering among themselves and with many loathe to move into the real theatre of war, they emerged from
their camps to fight - but they had already lost the war. The insurgents were unshakably
entrenched in the country’s Pashtun-dominated south and east and were expanding
into the rest of the country as well.
Now the tide is very
difficult to stem and the Americans are in a quandary. They know they've lost
the war but are hard pressed to confess defeat. So now they want Pakistan to be
their scapegoat and whipping boy. No wonder they cry over their dead but shed
not a tear on behalf of ours, gulped up by this spurious war of theirs. Crying
over the sad demise of some 3,000 people in the 9/11 holocaust is as natural as
their deaths were tragic. But surely those 35,000 Pakistanis who this war has
swallowed up were no robots. They too were human beings who left behind loved
ones to grieve for them. And the 5,000 Pakistani soldiers who have lost their
precious lives fighting this fake war were not unlike those few killed American
and NATO soldiers who they bury with all military honors. They too were human
beings with bones and flesh. And neither are the thousands of our troops who
have lost their limbs to live handicapped mere wooden mannequins.

The nation indeed is no longer
prepared to put up with this American charade. We are all for normal relations
with America. But we have nothing buy a great big NO to any further slavery and
enslavement by America. This our rulers must bear in mind. Pakistanis want no
part of this great hoax of a war on terror.
