Mr F Z Khan, I want to offer you my accolades for your knowledge as I know how the US mind works. Please allow me to share the least with you regarding the operations against the terrorists, making me feel Siachen-like cold.
“The US court strikes down anti-terror law,” reads a newspaper on 11-2-04.
“The word terrorist has been stretched beyond her understanding,” remarked US Distt Judge Colleen Mahon, while hearing a case of a terrorist, adding, “If terrorism is a crime of ideology (which Bush accepted), then you are not a terrorist,” on 12-11-07.
“The problem with the international vision is that it excessively focuses on terrorist threat which itself is only a symptom of other problems,” writes Acil Tabbara quoting Laurent Bonnefoy, a reputed western political scientist, on 9-11-1967.
“The US could act against Pakistan on the same legal grounds used to justify the 2001 US-led invasion of Afghanistan”, writes Tariq Fatimi, quoting a US VVIP.
“For 20 years, as we learnt recently, the US Air Force was quoting from Bible to motivate its young missile officers to prepare for a nuclear war,” writes Jawaid Naqvi, on 11-8-2011. And still Muslims are zealots?
And to end up the short-listing, “Pakistan has very little to do with the terror being won or lost,” writes Tariq Amin Khan of Ryerson University of Toronto, on 19-4-08.
