Banu Attacks

American spy planes attacked Banu today killing 7 people.

Banu, is an area which comes under the Federal Authority, therefore this attack is definately on Pakistani soil and it requires a strict action. Moreover, this attack has increased the hatred in the people of Pakistan for the American and its own government too for various and obvious reasons. If the Pakistani government 'silently' supports the American Agenda i.e. by giving a free hand to the Americans ,which it is doing currently, the current situation will take an extreme turn to doom for them. But, what the Americans and our government always forget is that when people turn upto the streets in this country, then its always the people who are victorious. Mr. Zardari do you want to exit the same way Ayub, Zia and Musharraf went?

The financial crunch has made aid indispensible for our survival. Therefore, the sorry state of affairs in this country has made the oppressor attack Pakistan at ease. As usual for the past few decades, they give Pakistan a few billion dollars, because they know that the government shuts its mouth when the men in power digest some money into their bellies. Interestingly, this is one of the reasons for the continous financial crisis in this country, because when the the people of Pakistan have to pay it back through inflation and high utility bills, which is surely just because we do remain silent and we should pay the price too.This needs to be stopped as it cannot be tolerated as valuable lives are being lost each day. Moreover, its a violation which boils the blood of many and of anyone. Americans attacked Japan in the 40's when the latter attacked Pearl Harbour, do the Americans want us to follow their steps?

When a criminal is at the peak of success in his business, he forgets that he is making his house out of cards which will bring him crashing down if people plan to blow it down. It happened with several of our leaders - Ayub, Zia & Musharraf - our government is sadly doing the same, their 'silent cooperation' to the Americans is increasing nationalist feelings among people.

Interestingly, a British who visited the 'United India' couple of centuries back said to his generals that the people of this country have such strong bonds that it will be really difficult to conquer it. The solution he suggested was the divide and rule. The British applied it and acheived their desired results, India applied it and we lost East Pakistan, Americans are trying to do the same - are the people ready to bear the consequences?
