The World of Double Standards
Right after 9/11 America and eager to participate Britian invaded Afghanistan with the best ever high tech weapons available so far at the service of humanity under the umbrella of NATO for the ''good'' of people of Afghanistan and the world. Already suffering Afghanistan was ruined and international laws and rights approved by Geneva Convention for the affectees of war were ruined too. The nine year occupation of Afghanistan have resulted in no good for any party so far. But it has changed destiny of many Afghans and of many Pakistanis to the extent that people are still dying in Lahore, Karachi and the parts of country we hardly heard names before. Even if NATO quits there is no stoping visible to this on going massacre. Same ''good'' was awarded to the people of Iraq. An estimated 1.5 million Iraqis and 2.25 million Afghanis have died as a result of ''peaceful'' take over of these two countries by NATO, and there are millions made handicaped to live a life worse than death, and that to when these countires lack facililites to rehablitate such people. Along with death and misery these people lost their valuables, homes, and businesses. The demanded or dictated military actions in northern Pakistan is just another version of this. Musharraf recieved more than $10 billion, current government is getting funds too to kill terrorists, West created long ago. Just imagine US approved a budget of $600 billions for military operation in Afghanistan, a money that could change the entire face of people of Pakistan and Afghanistan if spent on them. But the West has no interest in the well being of the people of this region. I remember an incident from World War 2, when Winston Churchil was on a visit to a War-Zone, he saw a lady who lost her roadside teastall because of German bomberment. He immidiatly orderd to compensate her. They still have policy of compensating their citizens even if someone's foot is hit by a stone on the road. But no compensation for the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, who are suffering only because of their suspected attacks and somewhere someone is hit by a bombs or missiles everyday. In fact we shouldnt expect any sympathy from the West, its our leaders who hold responsibilty for us. But they are busy in transfering their hard earnd corruption money to safer places. Zardari holds accounts of billions in foriegn banks and palace too. WikiLeaks recently revealed about Hamid Karazai that he transfered millions of dollars out of Afghanistan. The end is near, of people may be.
