This tirade, coming from the son of a diplomat forces one to discuss the Pakistani heirarchy.
Generally, in Pakistan, you dont become a diplomat by merit. Most of the Pashtun areas are awash in nepotism going back about 70 or 80 years. Generally, you can trace a straight line from the corrupt politicians of today back to their British preferred ancestors.
It seems to me that your class is afraid of Islam and, especially afraid of political Islam. The reason? Because its the ultimate in top down destruction of a plutocracy.
The fact of the matter is that you guys urged these men, these Haqqanis, etc to fight the Russians, as was their duty according to the Holy Text they read. There is no debate about that whatsoever from any scholar, whether they are liberal or conservative.
Then, while you sent them to their deaths when America invaded... (because really, what is the difference between an American occupation or a Russian occupation?) you became upset because they saw the double game that he plutocrat class was playing.
You and Mr. Sherpao were all too happy to see them getting killed across the border... after all, it was only a group of people that were a potent radicalized threat to the Pakistani order that were dying... so it was great because you got to hit two birds with 1 stone: Indian interests and Jihadi interests cancelling eachother out!
Yet when they sort of smartened up and realized that you were giving their enemies the tanks that were killing them... they turned their anger on you.
So now, you decided to label them as molestors, anti Islamic, and recruiters of youth!
Yet, can you point out where in the scripture you are correct and where they are wrong in terms of turning their fire power on you?
If its about 15 year old boys taking up arms, then talk to your colleagues in Virginia.. after all, assymetric techniques are a response to assymetric war.
Basically, you created this mess by playing the double game. The supply lines make no reasonable sense while at the same time tacitly approving the Wazirs and Mehsuds to cross into Afghanistan.
