Dont celebrate the death of foes because even friends are not immortal. This is not an attempt to celebrate the discomfort in which Americans, in general, and Raymond Allen Davis, in particular, finds himself entangled but writing a letter with such title is to serve a food for thought. From the day Raymond Davis saga started unfolding itself, each coming day brings new developments and international capitals are abuzz with the sounds and furies in last ditch efforts to seek immunity for him.
It was really perturbing and one cant help sympathising after knowing that He (Davis) was seen sobbing on Sunday after Carmella left the jail. He talked to his family on Carmellas cell phone. Anyone who is blessed with a human heart would pray that may God protect everyone from such a ghastly situation. At the same time, it should be an eye opener for Raymond Davis and the US as to what the situation would have been of those unarmed and unfed Iraqis which were crucified on the alter of Weapons of Mass Destruction.
How did the wailing of those Afghans go into abyss whose entire village was disappeared from the face of the earth? What could be worse than to be an inmate of Guantanamo and Bagram jail? How hapless are the people in the tribal region who have become prey to unending and futile drone strikes! The innocent victims of US aggression must also break into tears when the hegemonic designs of America knocked at their doors.
It was proved that Raymond Davis has killed two Pakistani citizens in cold blood but America is putting all efforts to get Davis out of this whirlpool even if it has to launch another Operation Eagle Claw. It would really suit its superpower status if it learns to respect the sentiments of other nations. And once the US learns the sorrows of other nations, no Raymond Davis will suffer from such sobbing.
