Gordon Brown – Don’t Blame Pakistan For Your Own Failures In Afghanistan

By Sikander Hayat



Mr Brown does not know how many soldiers Pakistan has lost to terrorists. You have been in Afghanistan for last eight years and you have not been able to break the back of Taliban & Al-Qaida. Why should not you be doing more to beat Taliban and Al-Qaida? Why with all your power, you were not able to stop Taliban from attacking the elections in Afghanistan? Why did you oversee the most corrupt elections in the history of the world?
Pakistan is fighting your war and paying the price in the form of lost lives of innocent women, children and men. Don’t push Pakistan to the point where you have to hear “no more” from the people of this country. They are already paying the price of your sins as you attacked Afghanistan and then put it on the sidelines to attack Iraq. Why did you not care about Afghanistan when your eyes were all set on Iraq’s oil fields? Why did you not finish the job then when you had the chance? Why shift the blame now? In those years when you were butchering Iraqis, you neglected Afghanistan and now the Taliban are stronger than ever. Now you blame Pakistan for your failures. Is this some kind of a sick joke?
Mr Brown, if you have intelligence about the location of Osama Bin Laden than tell the world and Pakistan so that this man can be caught. If you don’t know where this man is than just saying that Pakistan is not doing enough to capture Bin Laden is hypocrisy of extreme proportions. Just to deflect the criticism of your own performance in Afghanistan, you can’t blame Pakistan where the government is already going against the wishes of its own people to fight your war. With these kinds of irresponsible and callous statements you are only stoking anger in the streets of Pakistan and time is not far when any Pakistani government who will support your war will lose all credibility in the eyes of Pakistani people.

India: The Terrorists Within

A day after major Indian cities were placed on high alert following blasts in the IT city of Bangalore, as many as 17 blasts ripped through Ahmedabad, capital of the affluent western Indian state of Gujarat . Some 30 people were killed, some at hospitals where bombs were timed to go off when the injured from other blasts were being brought in. (Later, in Surat, a center for the world's diamond industry, a bomb was defused near a hospital and two cars packed with explosives were found in in the city's outskirts.) Investigators pointed fingers at the usual Islamist suspects: Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Bangladesh- based Harkat-ul Jihadi Islami (HUJI) and the indigenous Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). But even as the police searched for clues, the Ahmedabad attacks were owned up by a group calling itself the " Indian Mujahideen. " Several TV news stations received an email five minutes before the first blasts in Ahmedabad. The message repo...

Pakistan Army Must Not Intervene In The Current Crisis - Who To Blame For the Present Crisis in Pakistan ?

By Sikander Hayat Another day of agony and despair as Pakistanis live through a period of uncertainty but still I believe that army must not intervene in this crisis. These are the kind of circumstances when army need to show their resolve of not meddling in the political sphere of the country. No doubt that there will be people in the corridors of power and beyond who will be urging the army to step in and ‘save’ the country but let me tell you that country will only be saved if army stays away and let the politicians decide the future of the country, even if it means that there will be clashes on the streets of Islamabad. With free media in place, people are watching with open eyes the parts being played by each and every individual in this current saga. They know who is right and who is wrong and they will eventually decide who stays in power when the next general election comes. Who said that democracy was and orderly and pretty business ; it is anything but. Democracy ...
