Israeli attacks: a lesson for India
The recent retaliatory attack on Syrian Islamic Jihad base camps by Israel reveals the true face of America, their doublespeak on the Kashmir issue becoming more poignantly evident. The American hypocrisy lets them pats on the back of Pakistan for its help in fighting terrorism ignoring the terrorist dens right beneath their nose and tells India to exercise restraint, similar is their stand on Syria-Israel confrontation. When it comes to dealing with its own issues there is no stopping the big bully; without any proof of Saddam having WMDs and without caring for UN it attacked Iraq.
Syria has been harboring terrorism the same way as Pakistan providing training facilities, funding and logistical support to terrorist groups such as Hamas. While supporting Israel over the attacks, America has been providing support to terrorist groups and in its attempt to play the role of World Police scolding Syria as it scolds Pakistan now and then. Infact it is open now that when Bill Clinton was trying to broker peace between Israelis and Palestinians, the FBI was secretly funneling money to suspected Hamas figures to see if the militant group would use it for terrorist attacks.
Islamic nations are very worried by the Israeli attack. No wonder that Pakistani Ambassador had called the attacks a violation of international law. They have their fears and I wish that it came true. Should the Israeli attack be cue enough for India to take on the Pakistani training camps in a similar manner? How long can we let the politicians play their diplomatic gimmick of holding olive branches in their hand and urging Pakistan to stop infiltration and terrorist activities while it audaciously continues with its foul game? Let our security forces cross the LOC and raze the enemy once and for all.
Millions of rupees and umpteen costless lives are lost every year on the Kashmir issue Joseph. This apart, the world finds an issue to raise everywhere and ridicule us despite of knowing the real culprit. Once we attack and raze the millitant training camps and funding agencies inside Pakistan the world will agree with us and even America would think twice before resorting to arm-twisting again on account of Financial aid and business. Alas policticians won’t do it because this is pretty important ballot issue.
We should not cross the LOC. Look at what a mess Amerika is in IRAQ. Think about such a situation in pakistan, in which we are unable to dis-associate ourselves from. Moreover there is another problem, if we were to get into Pakistan, it is given fact that pakistan will lose. Who is then going to be responsible for the welfare of 140 million pakis? Pakistan is digging itself a hole in the name of kashmir. And when it falls into this hole, there will be no possibility of coming out of it. Already it is sliding down that hole. Pakis may say that the militants fighting in kashmir are “their boys”, and their brethen. But in fact, they are nothing of such type. These militants come from the same ranks, which are responsible for killing shias and other muslims in pakistan.
And forget all these things. Pakistan is a very small item. We are meant to play with the big boy league. Not waste our energies on some two-tin country, which is all screwed up. The fact that even after 10 years of supporting militants, it is the TIRANGA which flies in srinagar and not green of pakistan. Is there any more proof required abou t the failure of pakistan’s policy of detaching Kashmir from india?
Pakistan is not worth all the attention that we give it. Our attention should be on more weighty matters.
