Foreign Policy of Pakistan: Extra Tolerance for US Interference
-Dr. Abdul Ruff
************
People of Pakistan have been as much an ill-fated population as their country itself is a crisis-prone nation with the leaders care too little for the welfare of the people who elect them to enjoy life fullest. USA keeps Pakistan boiling by using its puppetry remotes alternatively. The current destabilization stage is the outcome of the faulty foreign policy of Pakistan for decades now, depending too much on western bosses in order to shield itself from the Indian menace and manipulations. Today, USA is seen aiding the Indian greed. But for China, it looks now, Pakistan ruled by greedy politicians who have legs fixed in USA and UK, would have been evaporated long ago.
Of course, US-Pakistani ties are crumbling under the heavy weight of terror drones. USA has destabilized Islamic Pakistan and is eager to do the same with Iran too. Today all institutions of Pakistani system and governance have collapsed and /or come under US/foreign influence or control. These leaders are in fact midnight thieves guided by Washington and have looted the nation and brought disaster of the nation by importing NATO terrorists and their drones into the nation of Muslims to kill Muslims. If they have some sympathy they must quit the nation, leaving it to sovereignty fighters and their administrative-policy making sympathizers.Musharraf offered Pakistani territories for the tricky treacherous Americans and helped them with a safe passage into Afghanistan for genocides cum energy route security and his successors expanded the scope of terror collaboration. And they are enjoying consuming dead Muslim meat, drinking their hot blood..... Million of innocent Muslims have already been slaughtered by the occupiers with or without Pakistani assistance. The defenders of sovereignty are the insurgents and terrorists while the bloodthirsty occupiers and criminals in uniforms from the west are known as "soldiers".
USA is making strenuous efforts to further destabilize Islamabad by create a void in political dispensation. Can an outside power own the right to interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign nations, dictating terms to their policies? USA has declared that it reserves the exclusive right to interfere in Pakistani economic and governance affairs and by giving aid USA has indeed purchased sacred sovereignty. Washington keeps adding US terrorists to Pakistan (and Afghanistan) only to kill Muslims and make the regime serve the invaders. The unilateral terror power USA now claims its right to Pakistani sovereignty by declaring, shamelessly, that has a right to interfere in Pakistan’s economic and governance affairs as the US is the main fund provider to Pakistan. Perhaps on behalf of India, USA has skillfully trapped Pakistan, destabilizing the Islamic nation by crippling its economy and diplomatic power. The NATO terror syndicate saw to it that Islamabad suffers the most by NATO terror war in the region.
BY skillfully controlling the regime in Islamabad, now USA-NATO terror syndicates have made the Islamic nation a weak beggar state, but what is still worse is the fact that the corrupt Pakistani leadership has no objections whatsoever so long as their interests are taken care of by Washington. They even have safely forgotten that Pakistan was the result of an Islamic movement, first, to set up a sovereign Muslim State in areas of British India where the Muslims were in majority and, then, to develop a model polity for a Muslim nation state that secures sovereignty, freedom and prosperity that should be a beacon of light for Muslim nations the world over. Pakistan was visualized as a powerful state enough to be able to protect the Muslims who live in a society and/or country hostile to Muslims. But all these prescripts have lost their meaning. Because of the complexity in its foreign relations dictated by eternal hostility of India and the importance of the strategic location of Pakistan, this country has had to seek protection in alliances. Clearly, survival has become its first priority. Military defeat in East Pakistan turned out to be blessing in disguise, but USA controlled its policies to remain a weak nation, depending too much on US aid- bulk of which goes to military and personal pockets of leaders. And the aid providers have no objections.
Earlier, Pakistan had the will to move forward and USA and others opposed to communism and socialism came forward to assist it. Pakistani path for progress, obstructed by India, its onward march toward success and accomplishment is never even or straight. Pakistan never gave up its natural rights and deserves credit for not giving up its nuclear and developmental rights early despite inept and often corrupt leadership. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto started the nuclear program in 1974 when India carried out its first nuclear test and stood up against almost universal opposition. He has the credit for pulling Pakistan together after the defeat in East Pakistan and bringing the country to center stage as a vehicle of Muslim unity with the help of well established leaders of the time – Late King Faisal of Saudi Arabia and Colonel Qadhafi of Libya. Pakistan has has no such pregames or claims today and wastes its resources on US terror war in the region, killing Muslims. Now china has come steadfast supporting Pakistan.It is unfortunate that Pakistani leaders do not want to make their nation strong .
If a major ally USA has destabilized Pakistan, it is the duty of Pakistani regime to revise its foreign policy, check it partners but the ruling dispensation in Islamabad still thinks they are safe since and their misdeeds are protected by the USA. All these years Islamabad has done exactly what it has been instructed by US bosses, forgetting its pivotal role in Islamic world. On instructions from Washington directly and through the US embassy in Islamabad, General Musharraf invited US state terrorists to Pakistan to make Islamabad a safe haven for them and a base to attack neighboring Afghanistan only to ensure energy routes and control the natural and human resources in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. The net result this puppetry madness is that Pakistan is totally destabilized and is made a failed, dangerous state. A nation without sovereignty is as bad as a street dog and it is crime that Pakistan filed to gauge the dangerous ties from anti-Islamic USA pretending to pro-Islamic and anti-communist.
A Muslim nation, Pakistan lets the NATO terrorists to use its territories for murdering Muslims around. NATO today is destroying both Afghanistan and Pakistan. As a routine gimmick to fool the world, the NATO said that it could halt combat operations in 2014 if security conditions were good enough. NATO Terror Secretary-General Anders Rasmussen had made the announcement regarding the withdrawal during a two-day summit in Lisbon. As if NATO has done a great thing for Afghanistan after murdering millions of Muslims there, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said that he backs NATO's plans to hand over security of Afghanistan to local authorities by the end of 2014. He shuld have asked the occupyiers to quit this year itself. Why these western rogues require extension?
An anti-Islamic conspiracy has rendered Islamabad a failed nation. A destabilized nation like Pakistan is a boon for the corrupt leaders supported by leaders with criminal records like Zardari and Gilani. One has no clues as to US policy for South Asia or why USA wants to divide both Pakistan and Afghanistan or in which way India would be supported. Calling the WikiLeaks revelations a tactic by the USA to ensure a clash among the Muslim countries, former Army chief Aslam Beg has claimed that the US wanted to divide Afghanistan into three units. Beg said that the US was contemplating to ignite a civil war in Afghanistan to further its notorious agenda, and that the Iranian leadership's responsible behavior had foiled its plans. The US policy to divide and rule the Muslims has failed, as the formation of a bloc consisting of Islamic countries was underway, and Beg added that instead of creating hurdles, it should facilitate the process towards becoming a reality. Beg also opined that the US did not need ground operations in Pakistan, as it was already killing the innocents through drone strikes, adding that Pakistan was unable to raise its voice against the unmanned attacks. Talking about the dual policy pursued by the US, the former Army chief said that Washington was getting closer to New Delhi, but was bullying Islamabad to submit to its terms and conditions.
When large sections of people go hungry, Pakistan is forced to spend their hard resources on US illegal terror wars, because it unnecessarily supported the US agenda in the region hoping USA would stand by Islamabad through thick and thin. But they are liars and core rogues concerned only about killing Muslims and looting Islamic resources. Western media talk only about the death of “US soldiers” while attacking Pakistanis and Afghans, but are deliberately silent about the serious loss of lives and cost war for Pakistan. Since 2002 the cost of Pakistan involvement in War on terror is estimated around $ 100 Billion out of which only 6 to 8 billion dollars have been post-paid in several years during Musharraf regime and thereafter the situation is worse with USA demanding genocides without any real payments, except some arms. Since corruption, nepotism and mis-management in government expenditure became extra shattering for a weak nation like Pakistan, struggling to build a country brick by brick, NATO is safe , so is the Pakistani leadership. .
USA wants Pakistani military to just blindly obey the Pentagon orders without questions. US strategists cry loudly over waste of their money in Pakistan for nothing since Pakistani military has refused to obey US orders to strike at Pakistanis as freely as NATO terrorists are doing freely. . American rulers are wasting resources on visits abroad with large entourage which could have been saved by asking the diplomatic missions stationed in those countries to do the work on President's behalf and send the documents for his assent. The corporate media and global blogosphere that enjoy being in the entourages, promote such high level tours promote GST trumpet news about president's historic trips and achievements etc. President B. Obama's three-day trip to India cost U.S. taxpayers $200 million a day and includes 3,000 people. USA can afford this high amount because the trip would make Pakistan jealous and unhappy and force it to kill more and more Muslims in the country and cross border and assist the NATO terrorists to launch drones to kill Muslims at will. Back in the USA, the bulks of young Americans are begging for a job and Obama might not think it is the sad story of America busy in killing Muslims in Islamic world. Reports suggest nearly 2 million Americans whose extended unemployment benefits will run out this month, making their future look bleak.
The top terrocracy with highly skilled terror cum diplomacy strategists, USA has succeeded to a large extent in isolating Pakistan with allegations of harboring terrorism and fundamentalists in the West, they are at the same time trying to divide Pakistan into “secular” and religious factions so as to pitch them against each other in the times to come to serve the American vested interest. The strategy has worked well when leaders are selfish and corrupt. USA gets the Pakistani regime to make ready the needs of NATO terrorists, including entrainment facilities, land for terror operations, liquor and churches. Western nations want to sell their weapons and their nasty media harp on Blasphemy law in Pakistan as if their laws are different. Anything bad in Pakistan is attacked by the west as a routine matter only to bully Pakistani leaders. Blasphemy law has been made a bone of contention for the West while they have completely forgotten that Law of Blasphemy was first introduced in UK to protect Christian faith, from the 16th century and Washington is silent about the facts while criticizing Pakistan on the murder of governor involved in this. That is western double-ideology.
For years now, Islamabad, as a US terror ally, always obtained concurrence from the US rulers for implementing its policies, but USA has taken all such gestures as dutiful obedience of a puppet regime. USA now directly control Pakistani polices both domestic and foreign and any deviation by the Pakistani from US directions is objected to by Washington and US embassy in Islamabad. Acknowledging that Pakistan has been the biggest victim of terrorism, the USA has reaffirmed its resolve to assist Islamabad in addressing the challenge of violent extremism comprehensively. Hilary Clinton has displayed the US arrogance boss attitude when criticized the Pakistani government for going back on the raise of petrol prices – an entirely internal affair of Pakistan.
If USA is keen to end terror wars, then Pakistan alone can help with a safe, compromise passage. USA knows Pakistan is the key to safe withdrawal from Afghanistan and end occupation of Pakistan, but calls it the problem only to provoke Pakistani military to kill more and more Muslims. As unilateral power with all kinds of resources in abundance, USA has used Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia to advance its illegal global interests. The US victory in the Cold War would have been impossible without Pakistan and the USA working together. While all the leaders of Pakistan including the nincompoops who rule it today have been aware of the importance of congruence of interests between the USA and Pakistan in South and Central Asia, the US establishment is divided on this issue.
USA promoted corruption and price rise in Pakistan and encouraged the regime to betray the people.NATO exploits Pakistan’s vulnerability as America’s plus point. Pakistan’s explosive proxy war policy has cost Islamabad dearly, weakening the purchasing power of the poor. India has been trying to isolate Pakistan by raking up all nonsensical terrorism in India and blaming Islamabad for terror operations by Indians. The UK still treats New Delhi as British-India and deals with it accordingly, even by promoting its economic, UNSC and sports interests abroad. But USA has exploited the vulnerability of Pakistan in facing the hostile anti-Islamic world.
These days, USA does not seem to openly support Pakistan on JK. Both USA and UK, maybe to appease New Delhi, tried to bury the Kashmir issue and remove it from the UN agenda for a meeting The princely state of Jammu Kashmir has been the key element of the Pakistan nation as visualized during the Pakistan Movement. The name Pakistan is an acronym made of the first letters of the states of British India where the Muslims were in majority i.e. Punjab, Afghanistan, Kashmir, (Iran which secured its sovereignty before Pakistan did), Sindh, and Baluchistan. However, many foreign Pakistanis say Pakistan without Kashmir Pakistan is incomplete which is not correct and India objects to this concept. It has been said that Kashmiri aspiration for freedom is unfulfilled without being inside Pakistan as Pakistanis shouldering responsibility for the fulfillment of the objectives the Pakistan Movement.This kind of approach looks a mischief and negates Pakistan's standard JK policy: it has not incorporated the parts of JK freed/captured from Indian occupation but created a separate nation as the base for a future JK nation. The point here is Pakistan does not want Kashmir to be a part of Pakistan. Now they should look at Jammu Kashmir as an equal neighbor and reliable Muslim ally struggling for independence from Indian yoke. The Kashmiris also demonstrate that Pakistan is theirs as well. That Pakistan is the first Muslim country to become a nuclear weapon state is no mean achievement. The Kashmiris are just as proud as the people of Pakistan.
Pakistani resources are hard earned. Looting a nation’s resources is a national crime. The king of Saudi Arabia, a close ally of Pakistan, has labeled President Asif Zardari the greatest obstacle to the country's progress. Pakistani political class is corrupt and is therefore focused on avoiding being held to account for its crimes. They are afraid that if the judicial system operated effectively and justly they would be in jail rather than in the halls of power. Since 1973, all governments – civil as well as military – have been successful in making the institutions of the state ineffective. They abolished the ‘neutrality and security of tenure of the civil services’ to make the civil servants no different from private servants of politicians.
A nation willing to compromise its sovereignty ceases to be a nation-state. It is strange when entire Pakistan is burning with more and more Pakistanis getting killed by US democratic drones, some Pakistanis and their media are over-concerned about US victory in its illegal terror wars in Islamic world. Americans do not accept even Britishers as equals and if some Pakistanis among the pro-West elite still think USA would change its key strategic policy and make Pakistan an equal partner in anything, they only meekly accept the western concept of Pakistanis as being unreliable fools. True, some Pakistanis do benefit from USA or UK, but the benefit providers from the West do take back the service cost from Pakistan and its corrupt regime in some other form.
Whether a knife gets into a leaf or a leaf falls piercing through the leaf, the ultimate damage is done only to the leaf. Pakistani people continue to suffer whether USA harms Pakistan or Pakistani leaders themselves betray their people. The elected Pakistani leaders seem to punish the people for not protecting them while undergoing jail terms for corruption and crimes. It appears, people in Pakistan are born to suffer and vote, before they are killed by US special drones! Leaders will go to USA or UK. ----------------------
