Friendship is between people and
countries of equal stature, siilar ideology or common goals. None of the three
exist between Pakistan and America. We are
a pauper state being bullied around to serve the American interest at the cost
of our own people getting killed and our economy bleeding. We are two nations
of different faiths and it is not Pakistan’s goal to hijack another
country’s natural and financial resources. Then why do we delude ourselves to
consider ourselves to be ‘friends’? The relationship is closer to being of that
between a man and a dog as cartooned in an American newspaper once.
Ten years ago, America said to
us, ‘Either you are with us or against us…if you do not cooperate, we will turn
you to the stone-ages’. Very unethically, we turned treacherous (as BBC put it)
upon the very people who had fought the Afghan Jihad with us and started
killing them or handing them over to America just to save our skin. But Nature
has its own ways and plans. Ten years down the line, with no electricity, no
gas, industries getting shutdown, flaring inflation and rocketing terrorism, we
are fast moving towards the stone-ages despite our ‘cooperation’. Nature has
played a well-deserved joke on us. Both history and the Book of Records with
Allah SWT will remember this era of inhuman treachery and has already started
punishing us for it. Then, can we imagine the lasting punishment in this world
and the Hereafter?
This may be our last chance to undo what
we did wrong as a nation. We must disengage from our unnatural and gimmick
alliance with America like Turkey said ‘No, thanks’ when America pushed Turkey for a similar cooperation
back in 2001. If we do not do so to continue getting financial aid, well then
how low can we stoop? Do not we remember the end of Mir Jaffar and Mir Sadiq?
And if we do not do so from fear of being attacked, well that is going to
happen anyhow in due time because so tells us the prophecies of Prophet Muhammed SAW.
