^People are not asking for blackwater to be pulled out of Iraq or ban it in middle east, they are asking not to have it in Pakistan, i repeat, in Pakistan, based upon reports about blackwater that originate from western, i repeat WESTERN (not arab), sources like BBC, Sky. The issue has nothing to do with arabs.
DD bhai,
I was hoping a much more balanced reply.
BBC and Sky can report whatever they like. Paks however need to have a rational opinion.
Has Blackwater done anything wrong in UK? apparently not.
Has Blackwater done anything wrong in Pak? Hopefully not.
Has Blackwater done anything unlawful in areas other than Iraq? We should quote it.
Unfortunately some in Pakistan are going hysterical against company A, just because they were perceived to be tough guys in a lawless tribal country called Iraq. In that sorry excuse of a country, Arab militants have butchered 1000 times more innocents than any other group. And still we sing ya-Arab ya-Arab while become deathly afraid of a tiny defense contractor from the USA.
This is as if blackwater will send to Pak 20 feet tall, 3000 pound jins that will clobber Pakistanis just like those tribals in Iraq.
You as person may not be opposing blackwater's presence in Pak because of Arabs. But the madness of many Pak commentators on this topic is purely linked to the Arabs in general and Iraq in particular.
It is time that Pakistanis realize that we are not Arabs, so as long as we don't behave like them, we won't be clobbered by every Tom, Dick, and Harry.
it is time that Paks think like Pakistanis first and try not to leave our high urbane culture in order to become nomadic biddu tribals.
peace to all civilized people.
and
hope the tribals will become civilized one day.
