Re: The Sudden Unrest
The situation is very complicated,
Army establishment was partner in Zia regime with USA to counter Russians, they did it, they used then “Mujahideen” now terrorists against Russians and CIA was totally depended on ISI and other Pakistan law enforcements agencies for their operations, and with all that restrictions, we still had bomb blasts, although the intensity was not that high and neither did we get Swat Like Situation were militants were totally in control with enough ammunition to challenge and resist an Army.
This time, Thanks to Mushy and Asif Ali Zardari, these American enjoyed the freedom which they may not enjoyed in their own country, at one point they didn’t required a passport or visa to go through the immigration control nor does the customs were allowed to check them out, and all this by MUSHY to stay in power, Mushy’s in his last days as a president of Pakistan provided them with Maximum facilities… and then came Asif Ali Zardari, who didn’t belong to the post he is sitting ( just like Mushy) so he did everything to please USA to make sure he can stick with the chair, i doubt if Benazir would have bowed this low to US…
Now if we look into the facts, The war in Afghanistan haven’t started yesterday, but the wave of terrorism, i.e. blasts in Islambad Hotels, Blast in FIA Lahore,Blast at Moon market, Blast at Intelligence office in Lahore, Attack on Police Academies, Blasts in Peshawar, Blasts in Faisalabad, Blasts in Mosques, Target killing in Karachi, and many more incidents like these… was not there prior to 2008, it all started with in-flow of these un-checked Americans, to whom ISI did put restriction by instructing Enbassies in US and other countries to not to issue Visa to americans until ISI issues an NOC, and then Americans approached Zardari, who gave free hand and as it is stated in many reports that Embassy of Pakistan in UAE issued 100s of visa to these american even on the off days like Friday… same is the case with Embassy of Pakistan in USA…
Now i am sure that all these Americans were not looking for JOBS in Pakistan… they were here for a purpose and the purpose is not only exposed by Raymond davis but on many occasions before that, I.E. Lahore Police stopped a suspicious vehicle in Lahore Cantt. the number plate of the vehicle was fake and Americans in the car from the US Embassy, many incidents were reported in Federal and K area… i am sure they were not having a picnic in these areas..
And then come the Rambo Raymond Davis, who just took the wrong turn and was caught…and rest of the story is known…
