Actions and Responsibility

Taliban are attacking Afghan police and military forces in Afghanistan.
Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) are attacking police and military force in Pakistan.
Police and military are usually for protection of common people. But when they are attacked regularly, they no longer remain able to protect common people. Then we see the rise of crimes and other social evils.
Any movement or force who considers fighting with police and military forces bears the responsibility of every crime and social evil after their arrival.
But one problem is that these militants probably don't understand these responsibilities things. They are very simple minded, like zombies who refuse to think and consider the situation.
Most of the time, they have their own agenda and they will do any thing in their power to fulfill the agenda, no matter how many people die. While other times they follow some leaders blindly and do every kind of good and bad works on behalf of those leaders. They don't care who bad their actions are, they just follow the leaders.

Struggle for Corrupt Person

A friend of mine, who affiliates with Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) once said to me that former Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was a corrupt person. My reply to him through mobile sms was as follows:

You message some time ago raised several questions in my mind. I am listing my questions and points as follows.
  • At the end of the message, you said that our (former) Chief Justice is very corrupt person. 
  • I remember one such claim was made by former President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf. 
  • Lets consider Chief Justice is corrupt, then PPP used to struggle for restoring a corrupt Chief Justice in 2007-2008. 
  • Barrister Chaudhry Aitzaz Ahsan, a prominent leader of PPP, was the leading role in the movement for restoring a corrupt Chief Justice.
  • Shaheed e Jamhuriat, Benazir Bhutto said to put a Pakistani flag on his house. Had she no moral boldness and confidence to talk against a corrupt person?

Friends at Gunpoint and Fair Game

Friends at Gunpoint and Fair Game

Americans are strange. They make friends at gun point and then expect a fair game. How can Americans expect Pakistanis to be their true friends when the only options for Pakistanis are to either comply or going to stone-age.

Pakistan agreed to comply with Americans and agreed to provide logistics, airspace, airbases, and other supports. Pakistanis demanded expenses in providing the supports as it was difficult to bear all the load on its own. Strangely, Americans called the expenses paid to Pakistan as aid.
Americans provided aid in past but the channels were not clear and the American aid money ended in American and European banks by corrupt administrators. And this is the case with almost all developing countries.
Americans were going to leave Afghanistan behind with all its problems and run away, like in all Americans wars after WWII. Pakistan was the country supporting several million Afghans for several decades and Pakistan is the country to deal with the future Afghanistan. Americans would run away and leave everything to Pakistan. Pakistan has to keep relations with all parties in Afghanistan intact in order to deal with them properly in future, when America is gone from Afghanistan.
Americans are asking Pakistan to deal with Afghans as Americans want, while Americans are not going to be here for long. They wanted Pakistan to stop negotiations with militants and blaming it for double game, while Americans were later trying to bring Taliban to negotiations table themselves in Qatar. Americans were asking Pakistan to forget about the past history and deal with Afghans as short-sighted Americans want.
Americans were in Afghanistan to finish Taliban and they failed. You can't completely destroy by weapons and wars a big organization motivated by ideology and possessing large support of local population. Americans were failed and they lost trillion dollars war. They had to blame someone for their failures. And they found Pakistan an easier scapegoat. That is why Pakistan was blamed as playing double game and is responsible for failed for American war in Afghanistan.

Are Western Courts Free

Rule of Law in Civilized and Democratic USA and UK and Poor Pakistan

 
The Point: Most of the countries in the world have leaders and rulers who wrongfully exploit the power bestowed upon them. They violate the human rights of their own people and put their country in harm's way. In a few of these countries, the countrymen start a movement and try to remove the bad rulers. After succeeding in removal of the bad rulers, in a fewer cases, the judiciary system starts a trial of the past rulers for their bad behavior. If this happens in a country, then we can say that the judiciary and rule of law has some good prospects in that country.

More Info Here

One Example: Pakistan is a developing country with a long history of  dictatorship and weaker democratic governments. Pervez Musharraf removed elected Prime Minister Nawaz Shareef in 1999 from government and enforced a state of emergency. During his one decade of rule, he took several controversial decisions which were perceived to be against the interests of Pakistan and its people. He was then toppled down after a long peaceful struggle of Pakistani people. Now, Government of Pakistan and Judiciary are trying to charge him for treason and violation of constitution and the rights of Pakistani people.
Remember, Pakistan is not an advanced democracy and it is blamed to have a very weak rule of law.
Moral: Does Pakistan has a good future in rule of law and democracy?


A Double Not Example: In the start of 21st century, President of USA and Prime Minister of UK took several controversial decisions and deceived their own people and the whole world. They started wars in other countries based on lies which results in deaths of nearly one million people and thousands of their own soldiers. They both violated their countrymen constitutional rights and tainted the concept of their countries as democratic and civilized nations.
There is a little problem: Those two were not dictators. They were elected by their countrymen. So, one can say that they violated the trust of their voters.
Long after their removal from power, there is no significant criticism about their actions and the resultant bad consequences. There is no case in their courts against their lawless behavior and their deceptive actions. The American and British people are not even planing to drag those two elected-tyrants into courts and charge them for murder of about one million people.
Questions: Does the judiciary of USA and UK handle such cases?


The Irony: 
The Irony is that the Britain and USA are considered of the most civilized and lawful countries in the world. They are the leaders of civilized world and are trying to export their democracy and social advancement and rule of law to other countries all over the world.

Pakistani Double Game with USA

USA had threatened Pakistan to send it to stone age if it didn't comply with specific demands from USA at start of the so called War on Terror in 2001. To USA amazement, Pakistan agreed to every demand. A few years later, USA started complaining about double game from Pakistan by helping some Taliban groups in secret.
Some questions arise:
  • Was Pakistan really playing a double game?
  • Pakistan was forced in the war it didn't want. Wasn't a double game expected from Pakistan?
  • Pakistan was held at gun point, why would USA not expect a double game, or stab-in-back from Pakistan?
  • Why USA didn't do anything major to stop Pakistan from the double game?

The double game costed USA the whole mulit-trillion dollar war in Afghanistan. The Taliban, who were fighting with primitive weapons, could not be properly defeated in more than 13 years of war. USA and NATO forces fought in Afghanistan for more than 13 years, and spent trillions of tax-payers dollars, but didn't got much.
USA and NATO couldn't even stop the opium production in Afghanistan which had restarted after their arrival.
So, the whole war on terror in Afghanistan was a complete failure. And apparently, USA didn't tried to save the war at all.
