It’s over a week now since Osama Bin Laden, world’s most dreaded terrorist, was killed at Abbottabad, Pakistan. It is still hard to believe and I for one waited for the news that the killed man was not Osama. No, I’m certainly not an Osamaphile but it is very difficult to believe that a man, such as him, will be killed in a gunfight that lasted only 40 minutes and that also in his own den.
But the amount of mourning going on in the Muslim world and especially in Pakistan does confirm his death. Also the constant bickering of Pakistani government, ISI and the Pakistani Military over the issue does favour the death of Mr. Bin Laden.
About two years ago I had written a piece on this very platform about how Pakistan was ailing with a disease called Islamic terrorism or Jehad and will sooner or later need amputation.(Pakistan: A grievous unsolvable jigsaw) Well it seems their most trusted aides, USA, have at least started to hover the knife over their head if not start the actual operation.
It would be foolish on anybody’s part to accept that the Pakistani upper echelon had no idea whatsoever of the ‘safe house’ just under their nose in a town where the military academy is just 500 metres away. Because if that be the case it would be wise for all the powers-to-be to step down immediately. But we all how that country is. It is a two-mouthed snake which feeds from both group of FIIs, Foreigners and Fidayeens, alike. It makes no sense when one day they say that they have been able to curb terrorism on their land and on the other day the chief perpetrator and instigator is found killed in the hospitality lounge of Abbottabad.
A joke that is doing the rounds is that whether or not Pakistan celebrates the death of Osama. Because since they have been party to the ‘War on Terror’, they should be happy but on the other hand they can’t as you don’t celebrate on the death of your guest and esteemed friend. This dilemma is killing them and hence they are coming out with all kind of bullshit theories and explanations. They are threatening India and even to some extent US.
It is now proven beyond doubt that the entire Pakistani machinery and not only the infamous ISI are not a party to the ‘War on Terror’ but are actually on the other team. They are the 12th player for that team or maybe are even in the playing 11. And this is known to US, their chief feeders. And that explains why they didn’t bother to inform their ‘friends’! From the 1950’s, US has fed them and used them as an outpost to counterbalance the rise of India, Iran and the erstwhile USSR. What they never imagined that they were creating a Frankenstein!
Pakistan nurtured well under US supervision and now has turned to new fathers, China, for further nourishment. It’s a failed state which has siphoned gazillion dollars into its system just to save it from India, which has not attacked them in any of the past 64 years. Instead of using the dollars for making a prosperous state, what they have done is created a country which no further needs any help to go downhill. It’s a country of poor and undereducated which suits in the best interest of the Jehadis. It’s in totality a fucked up nation. I’d thought that India may get a chance to play an important role in bringing Pakistan back from chaos and disaster. But it seems we will not get that chance. In between the jehadis of all hues, USA, China and their own butt headedness, they are not going to remove their hands off the ‘self-destructing’ button that they have pressed.
The death of Osama gives the nation to review its policies. But it seems they are never going to understand. God help the innocent souls of Pakistan who are neither a party to Obama and nor were party to Osama.
