clean up

a joint venture
it is

By kulamarva Balakrishna

Vienna,13-11-2007:The internal situation in Pakistan is the result of a continued mess up by imperial mothers and their partners during the last century. Intelligence operatives of organizations like the CIA founded by Allen Dulles, work on more or less on gathering and in return feeding information to the opponents routinely considering the desired results in a time range of about six months to a year. Behind them are strategic planners, who need to be of highest intelligence and integrity.They need to keep track of intelligence inputs evaluating them in short term, mid term and long term calculations. Then inter-linking them to avoid contra productive results.That is called =humint= in real terms. There had been the worst mess up there,with =humint= almost missing, which caused the current threat to world peace.Make no mistake.The fall of Shah of Iran was not digested.Instead the immediate short term consideration was to find use for the weapons ordered by the Shah in Shah.How to save the military production infrastructure and work places etc.The imperial mothers found ad hoc solutions for the problems then.Even today after almost 28 years, they are now without a realistic Iran policy.It was on post war Iran policy foundation they rested their entire middle east policy projections in the first place.

Pakistan was then drawn in as and when required,again on ad hoc basis.Thus when they needed out source a division of 20,000 soldiers,to secure the holy places in Saudi Peninsula Pakistan came in handy.The choice introduced one more vested interest within the Pakistani forces that had until then showed ambition only to wrest power from self seeking politicians.This led the land of the pure military in investmentin in Canada creating a military bridge head across the ocean.The mess up continued until the culmination of events of 11-09-2001. I was watching the developments since mid fifties.In early 80s I even warned the consequences for Pakistan. Earlier, Miles Copeland wrote in his Game of Nations pointing out the result of downgrading the importance of =humint= then itself. He pointed out at the 187 meter high Cairo Tower built by Nasser by CIA money! But the message of the monument for =humint= disaster did not sink in.Then there were Billy Carters and Associates from the Republican and Democrats sides as corruption incarnations.

As for the Pakistani internal developments, Iskandar Mirza-Ayub Khan legacy inheritors saw the country as personal property to be enjoyed in the Shah in Shah fashion.Today, it is easy to make now Pervez Musharraf a scape goat. We should see and learn from the rise and Fall of Zul fiqr Ali Bhutto. After him Zia was blasted off mid air with an entourage which included the imperial Ambassador of the U.S. Coming next, Ms. Benazir Bhutto threw away two chances. She was dismissed twice by two different constitutional Presidents.It can not be ignored. Hindustan Times wrote just about a week ago now she has luck.I would disagree.Now she got one more chance to make amends and share power with a neutral professional soldier, who grew up nursing deep humiliation meted out to his class by her father.If she does not share power with the general now to restore the self respect of Pakistani soldier´s uniform it will not work.Outside pressure had not prevented Zia from hanging Z.A.Bhutto. He hanged Benazir´s father as the whole world advised him to the contrary.Now the young lady appeals to international community to put pressure on the General,knowing full well the players have changed and public memories are short.

If Benazir fails today to work on a joint venture with the General that would lead to a greater and far reaching disaster.To throw away the chance to clean up and start a new would have worst implications for the Custodian of Holy Places and the whole world itself. It was from Saudi pocket an estimated 870 billion dollars were doled out to worldwide terror industry since 1979. Of this more than a half had gone at various levels to Pakistan only.That includes stinger missiles,opiates, synthetic drugs from Western Europe that sustain fighter motivation and distribution of weapons to one and all in the tribal region.Besides,Pakistanis dashed abroad as economic refugees to remit funds to homeland to feed their kin. I pumped in 1990s a pizza cook Marouf at Frankfurt, who was working for a Chinese owned eatery. He was very gracious,when I told him,=Marouf, you are more influential and resourceful than Benazir.You also earn more than her. Can you find a table for us five persons please?= I had asked.He was pleased and forthcoming. He had at once intervened on our behalf with his madam boss as he invited us for a bottle of Rhein Riesling wine. People like Marouf bring almost 40 percent of Pakistan´s foreign exchange earnings even now.They all have a stake that their homeland is peaceful and stable.They do not love Benazir.They laugh at her.

The news that Bush is sending a special emissary to Pakistan to persuade Parvez Musharraf to
withdraw emergency is,to say the least, a double edged communication.The emissary should work as the moderator if the situation has to be saved even in a short term for the West. The stakes are so high.There are =strategic assets,hidden=, which according to the Arab Media are taken care will by the military as a prestige issue.The U.S.media report that Americans have contingency plans to secure them make the whole Crescent Moon region nervous.Thus the stakes here are Higher than the Cairo Tower indeed. The imperative is Pakistan should be saved.As for the country´s sovereignty, minute by minute the general and the opponents await signals from Washington as if the guardian Sam uncle´s nod is imperative.If Benazir does not co-operate she can not rule even Larkana, her father´s estate in Sind as mini- Pakistan for herself.(end)

What the Pakistani government needs to do is crackdown on Muslim fanatics who are encouraging chaos terror in that country. What the Pakistani government needs is a person in charge that is willing to come down hard on the fanatics. Musharraf can berely handle them and Bhutto will not do any better, because Muslims will not accept a woman as the head of their state. What Pakistan needs is change. Islam needs to be changed also.

  Islam needs to be destroyed! It needs (and the world needs) for it to be sent packing back into the dark, evil abyss from whence it came! Islam is incapable of reform or change because you never know when it is lying in order to save or promote itself. Islam is no more capable of reform or change than is fascism/Nazism. Some things just need to die.

Muslims want to possess nuclear weapons because they figure that one day they are going to use it against non-Muslims. How I wish that those nukes explode in their own backyard. Then they will know the danger of playing with fire. I firmly believe that if their own nukes explode in their own country, the survivors will all convert to Hinduism or Christianity. Nobody can stand worshipping Allah that kills their own families.

If nukes exploded in their own backyards, the imams will claim that it is Allah's will.
