WikiLeaks exposes dual standards

It is shocking to know that the King of Saudi Arabia, who is the custodian of Muslims Holiest Mosques and is expected to lead the Umma and to promote unity among the Muslim countries, had asked the Uncle Sam to attack and destroy Irans nuclear capabilities instead of State of Israel, also called Asif Ali Zardari the greatest obstacle to Pakistan progress.

What are the reasons behind Saudi king hating the leaders of the most important Islamic countries? Is this hatred based on the sect of these leaders? Calling the President of Pakistan a rotten head and the spiritual leader of Iran as a snake are insulting the people of both countries. The other question is how the rich Saudi national can provide funds to the terrorist organizations without the knowledge and consent of their rulers. Why the Uncle Sam, knowing fully about the sources of financial supports to Al Qaeda, has not taken any action against the kingdom? The WikiLeaks documents also showed the moral bankruptcy of America which has been claiming to be champion of democracy and also protecting the dictators and kings rules in the world.

Instead of promoting the close relationship with Islamic Republic of Iran for the last 30 years having more common culture and history, the Pakistani rulers have been promoting one sided brotherhood with Gulf States whereas they have been treating thousands of Pakistani working in their states as slaves instead of Muslim brothers. It is time that Pakistan should revisit its relation with Iran being a neighbour and one of the emerging nuclear power, the only Islamic country standing against Uncle Sams policies and biased attitudes to the Muslims of the world.
