Under the growing Washington- Tel Aviv - New Delhi
axis:
After Iraq and Afghanistan, Is it Pakistan?
Latheef Farook
Sir Allama Muhammed Iqbal, one of the greatest poets and thinkers of
the last century, once said that “ there would be no peace in the world
if there was no peace in Afghanistan”- a deeply entrenched tribal
society known for sacrificing precious lives to preserve their rights
and dignity.
Those in and around Afghanistan understand the extremely complex
nature of this society which even the British Empire failed to conquer
as shown by their numerous graveyards. Instead they entered into a peace
treaty with Afghans.
Predictions

Almost a year after Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, when Mujahidin
leader Gulbuddin Hikmatyar told me in Dubai that Afghans would wipe out
Soviet Union from the world map, I did not believe him. True to his
predictions, ten years later, Afghans got Soviet Empire to bleed to
death. Thus, mighty Russia also learnt a lesson.
Nevertheless, in the case of United States, neither neo con
warmongers of disgraced President George Bush nor the newly elected US
President Barak Hussein Obama seems to have learnt any lesson despite
US-NATO military set backs in the face of fierce resistance from Taliban
who now control 93 percent of Afghanistan.
President Obama’s Afghan-Pakistan strategy to fight the so called war
on terrorism that includes more troops, new legislation, improved troop
training and added civilian expertise, seems to be same as that of the
doomed policy of his predecessor George Bush who falsely accused Al
Qaeda of masterminding the attacks on the World Trade Centre, invaded
Afghanistan within 27 days, toppled the Taliban regime and installed a
puppet regime under Ahmed Karzai only to set up military bases all over
the country.
Global War on Terror
Almost all independent studies into the WTC events have exonerated
Muslims, including Al Qaeda, stating that they suspect the demolition as
an inside job. The Al Qaeda threat was magnified to suit the US designs.
Yet eight years later today President Obama blaming Al Qaeda of
killing of around 3000 people in the WTC indicates that, though the
phrase “Global War on Terror” was removed, the attempt at selling the Al
Qaeda myth continues and the US designs on the region remain unchanged.
Lesson from history
Perhaps the Americans and their European collaborators have not
learnt any lesson from the legendary ability of the Afghans to drive out
foreign invaders - from Alexander the Great to the Persians, the
Mongolians, the Indians, the British and the Russians. However they
would be sure to understand why they call mountainous Afghanistan the
“graveyard of empires.”
Afghans, Pashtuns, live on either side of the Afghan-Pakistan border
regions. They share the same religious, economic, social values, customs
and traditions in their vast, rugged, harsh and hostile mountainous
areas.
What happens to people in one side inevitably has its impact on the
people on other side of the border. It is almost impossible to
differentiate or isolate them. Governed by tribal laws and traditions,
Pakistani laws do not apply in some of these areas.
This is the reason why Pakistan had to accommodate Afghan refugees in
Pakistan’s border areas with great caution. Therefore, when the
Americans send drones inside Pakistan to kill what they describe as
suspected Taliban and Al Qaeda members certainly Pakistan is placed in a
very difficult situation.
So far, there have been around 80 American drone attacks killing more
than 500, perhaps almost all of them innocent civilians, turning border
regions into killing fields for Americans. In their traditional dress,
they all look alike and how could the American and NATO forces
differentiate between civilians and terrorists?
Foreign elements
In the midst of this massacre, comes the vicious suicide bomber
blowing up a mosque in Jamrud near Afghan border, killing more than 50
people who gathered for Friday noon prayers. Jamrud is a town located in
the semi autonomous Khyber tribal region through which trucks carry
supplies to NATO and US forces in Afghanistan. Who is the Muslim who
would bomb a mosque and commit such a dastardly crime? Obviously, the
suspicion falls on foreign elements.
In its wake came the attack on the police academy in Lahore killing
many. This was followed on Sunday April 5 by another suicide bomb that
killed at least 20 people and injured scores of others at a Shia mosque
in the Chakwal area of Punjab Province.
It appears the same old game of promoting Shia- Sunni conflict has
begun as it was done in Iraq after the US led invasion. Some describe
this as the dress rehearsal for the horrors to come under the America’s
proxy “war on Terrorism “in Pakistan.
Pakistanis are confused as they find it difficult to understand the
logic behind these bomb attacks. For example, Pakistan has very cordial
relations with Sri Lanka for decades and the two countries are bound by
many common interests.
Under such circumstances, why would Pakistanis bomb Sri Lanka cricket
team to the detriment of the two countries? The question is who is
behind these mysterious bombings which many Pakistanis suspect as the
work of foreign elements.
Crisis in Pakistan
This is the reason why many analysts point out that current crisis in
Pakistan needs to be viewed in the context of the growing Washington-Tel
Aviv -New Delhi axis with their common hatred towards Muslims and
designs on the region.
Ever since its creation in 1948 Israel, hand in glove initially with
Britain and France and now with United States, waged war after war and
caused untold misery and destabilized the Middle East. Israel now found
a strong foothold in the Kurdish region north of occupied Iraq.
The Jewish grip on the political, economic, financial, media and
almost every other establishment in US, UK and Europe is a open secret.
Open secret
There is also growing feeling that the US led west, is now trying to
destabilize Pakistan, after Iraq and Afghanistan, so that the entire
region between Israel and India could be brought under Washington-Tel
Aviv-New Delhi umbrella.
Meanwhile, it has been an open secret that India, keen on
destabilizing Pakistan from the day the nation was born, played the
decisive role in the invasion and the break up of Pakistan and creating
the state of Bangladesh in Pakistan’s eastern wing.
Over the years, Indian political parties, administration, armed
forces and even the country’s economy have been systematically
communalized and infiltrated by the Hindu extremists, Rastriya Swayam
Sevak, RSS and its front organizations, known for their extreme
hostility towards Muslims. Varun Gandhi’s shameful anti-Muslim racist
rhetoric and its subsequent disgraceful drama demonstrate the lowest ebb
to which Indian politics has descended.
Failures
On the other hand, India has its own designs on both Afghanistan and
Pakistan. Throughout the past 30 years of occupation, Soviet Union
followed by US-NATO troops, India has always supported the puppet
regimes and failed to stand by the people of Afghanistan.
According to reports, India maintains five consulates in Afghanistan
and dispatched 10,000 troops to buttress the US-.NATO occupation forces.
There were numerous reports of its plan to have a foothold in the
mineral rich Baluchistan province bordering Afghanistan with its warm
water port of Gwador in the Gulf.
The hostility towards Islam and Muslim has been the common binding
factor in the flourishing Washington, Tel Aviv and New Delhi ties. There
was a time when the Arab rulers resisted India-Israeli ties. Now the
Arab rulers themselves have become collaborators with US and Israel as
shown during the Israeli genocide in Gaza such obstacles are no more.
Plight of Muslims
There are 22 Arab countries, with a population of around 325 million,
billions of dollar worth of modern weapons and immense wealth; yet when
Israel started slaughtering the starving Palestinians, no one lifted a
finger. Instead, the so-called Arab heavy weights facilitated the
genocide. The Arab front has collapsed despite fruitless and ridiculous
summits.
Therefore, it is a field day for Indian- Israeli ties to the
detriment of the Middle East, Afghanistan, Pakistan and even the
suffocated and sidelined Indian Muslims whose plight, after 60 years of
independence, is worse than that of scheduled caste as disclosed by the
report of Sachar Commission appointed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
to probe the plight of Indian Muslims.
Some consider President Obama’s new year friendly overtures to Iran
as a move to rope in Iran to facilitate his Afghan Pakistan strategy in
the same way President George Bush Sr bribed, blackmailed and silenced
Arab rulers when he evicted Iraqi troops from Kuwait and his son George
Bush Jr blackmailed the world when he said “you are either with us or
with the terrorists” to invade Afghanistan in the immediate aftermath of
September 11 events.
Regime change
Perhaps the policy of regime change and installing puppet regimes and
establish military bases continue unabated under President Obama too
while the pro-Jewish western media continues to sell its lies to
brainwash and prepare the people all over.
The neo cons openly claim that they are not worried about the death,
devastation and misery they cause to innocent people in implementing
their designs as shown in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Somalia.
It appears India has taken the lead in manufacturing lies to
destabilize Afghanistan and Pakistan in the same way George Bush and
Tony Blair manufactured lies to invade Afghanistan and Iraq .
This is the clear message of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
when he, describing Pakistan as the “epicentre” of world terrorism,
ahead of his meeting with US President Barak Obama in London at G20,
urged powerful countries in the world to rid Pakistan and Afghanistan of
terrorism.
Few days later Pak Alert Press stated under the title “Pakistan: The
Final Game Begins” that stage has been set for a false flag attack on
America soon that will allow USA to start military operations inside
Pakistan, partition the country and get its Nuclear capabilities
neutralized! Another 9/11 is inevitable for Zionist Pentagon to win the
final game and impose New World Order but may be they are not realizing
that this time they are going to ignite the first and last Nuclear World
War.
Indications are that more Afghan, Pakistan and even innocent American
blood is likely to flow to the benefit of weapons industry, corporate
conglomerates, Jewish lobbies and Hindu racism that threatens to
destabilize India more than any other perceived threat.
