Are Pakistan interests same as those of the Taliban and AlQaeda?
People and hence the country are in a big fix. The media says something, the mullas says something and the world says something. Who is right? Lets analyse. Put things in the proper perspective and come to some conclusions.

Obama visits India...
While Obama offers support for UN Security Council seat lectures India on human rights and responsibilities...For those who can read between the lines, there was a lot to read. I am sure the Government of India did take notice of it. No wonder the hawks in the media are fuming with rage in India. Rest later.
In the meanwhile read Arundhati Roy: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/09/opinion/09roy.html?_r=1&ref=opinion&pagewanted=print

Mr. Billor's children come to life with the sound of a gun...
When will Mr. Billor teach his children to respect the rule of law not a gun?
When a baby is born to a Muslim it is The Prophet's (PBH) tradition to say "Azan" call for prayer in the new born's ear. Mr. Billor says when a baby is born in their tribe they let him hear not "Azan" but the sound of shots from a gun. That is Mr. Billor. He can't help it. From the comfort of his home in Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa he spews venom on Karachiites along with other ANP leaders.
Mr. Billor from Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa and Mr. Shahi Syed the KPK, ANP leader of Sind always talk of using guns for all solutions and it seems they do. "Hathyar hamar zevar hai" weapons are his adornment says Shahi Syed while making a new born kid listen to the sound of guns is their creed says Mr. Billor the Federal Minister for Railways in a press conference. This is how they raise their young they claim. And earlier Mr. Shahi Syed had read out from a written statement that "a Pathan never forgets to take revenge even after 100".
This is not the first time the Pakhtoon leaders have spoken of racism and disrupting law and order by use of force. Their utterances have caused divisions among people otherwise living peacefully together. The killings never seem to cease. It has been going on for well over an year now. Do we have an end in sight? Doesn't seem so. When we think things are OK then we hear an MPA is shot dead, then we hear people from gangs, underworld and land mafia have killed so many here and there.
When we think the worse is over then we hear pillion rider rule is relaxed and we have Sher Shah people murder with gay abandon in broad day light. They are never caught and brought to justice. How long will this go on? The Pakhtoons come from very far. They do not go to nearby Islamabad or Lahore and Punjab where they have been successfully stopped from entering and settling. I am shocked to hear they claim "Karachi hamara hai - ANP" the chalking is every where. Yes hamara hai, thumhara hai, sab ka hai. Yes it is our but is not Pakistan for all? Kya Pakistan hamara nahi hai?

There has never been a problem with Pathans or Pakhtoons. They have lived ever so peacefully with other Pakistanis in Karachi. The problem is with the uneducated and short sighted ANP leadership sitting in Pakhtoonkhwa and fomenting hatred far away in Karachi. You must listen to Haji Adeel and co. My God, what ideas. They love their people to earn in Karachi, as they cannot provide employment back home due to the lawlessness mind set, but exhort them not to own it. They do not encourage them to mix with the population and build bridges but keep aloof so that they vote for ANP. Hence their contribution to peace and development is nil in Karachi.
If only these people had developed Pakhtoonkhwah the poor people from there would never have needed to leave home and travel as far as Karachi for a living. Now that they have, for God's sake let them live in peace and give peace to their neighbors.
My biggest anguish is when my children have to miss school or the school is closed ever so often because of the conditions of the city. So many children have had problems in the O level and A level exams too. The papers come from abroad and they do not change and there is no re-test. The KPK visitors to Karachi, now settling down don't seem to have this problem.

Afia Siddiqui given 86 years...
The US judges should take suo moto action against some one who destroyed an entire country and killed over a million people and over 10,000 Americans on falsehood!
I am not here to discuss what Afia did or didn't. I know so little about it that it is not wise to comment on it. But I have faith in the US Justice System and I am sure in the end it will do justice and it usually does. However much the feelings may be inflamed in Pakistan and the rest of the world we must not come to conclusions without evidence. The administration and the justice system is there to protect the lives of Americans and give them security. Surely they are doing their job. I am not here to interfere with their duties nor to defend Afia Siddiqui.

I am not here to interfere with their duties nor to defend Afia Siddiqui.
My plea to the US justice department is entirely different. I am sure The Honorable Judges sitting on the benches know that the bulk of US population and the world was against the invasion of Iraq as there was no conclusive proof of weapons of mass destruction, yet Mr. George Bush egged on by Tony Blair, for their personal satisfaction and the satisfaction of a few invaded a country, brought it upon it knees and killed over a million people. Surely this crime is far greater than what ever Afia may or may not have done. She did not kill a million people yet she got 86 years. Again I am not pleading her case even on compassion!
One wonders how many years should George Bush get by the same Judges by the same token for killing over a million people and destroying a whole country, a civilisation, a culture, a heritage and every thing. He will have to be born a million times to get his full term. Oronically he is not even arrested nor any case brought against him.
I think the peace loving good folks of US must go to the courts and try the President who blundered heavily and caused misery to so many millions the world over. Are the judges and the people in the world listening? If yes, do something now!
See how it has been reported in the Western Press: http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/cat_aafia_siddiqui.php
