Where Is The Mourning, Mr. Zardari?
To Our Elite And Not Just The President: Was a reception for a foreign guest
more important than sharing the grief of your people?

More than one hundred innocent Pakistanis killed in one day, more than two
hundred in less than a month. Attacks linked to our own and America's
failed Afghan policy. Attacks supported by anti-Pakistan forces in the
region and not just unknown 'extremists'. Children left without parents, a
nation terrorized. And the response of our political elite? Dinner, toasts
and merrymaking in Islamabad. Was a reception for a foreign guest more
important than sharing the grief of your people? A shameless foreign-backed
ruling elite.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan-One hundred and ten killed in one day. More than two
hundred dead in less than a month. If this were any other country, emergency
would have been declared, nation would have been mobilized, and
intellectuals would have moved to question the policies of rulers who draw
their strength from Washington and London and not from the people and the
interests of Pakistan.
Above all, there would have been a national mourning.
But not in Pakistan. Not in a country where one ruler sold his nation in
exchange for a deal offered to him by the Am-Brits and where 'elected'
rulers consider receiving someone from Washington and London the high point
of their careers.
The list of grievances is long:
1. WHERE ARE THE RAPID EMERGENCY TEAMS: Many of the dead in Peshawar
probably died beneath collapsed buildings. Where are the millions of rupees
that were spent after the 2005 earthquake on rapid response rescue teams?
2. MOUNRING: How many innocent Pakistanis should be killed before our
ruling elite decide to declare national mourning? How many Pakistanis
should die before our President and Prime Minister cut short their toasts
for Mrs. Hillary Clinton and rush to Peshawar to be with their own people?

pg
3. FIND CULPRITS: We know our own citizens are involved in this
terrorism, but the small terror army in South Waziristan is not getting its
money and weapons from inside Pakistan. Rehman Malik's Interior Ministry
and the military's spy agencies have credible, strong and detailed
information about how a US-controlled Afghanistan is being used for
anti-Pakistan activities. BLA and TTP terrorists have a safe haven there.
Terrorist Abdullah Mehsud was killed in 2007 slipping back from Afghanistan
through Balochistan [and not the tribal belt] after meeting his backers
there. We know why the Chinese were targeted here. We have enough evidence
of the condemnable role played by India and its puppets in Kabul, and of the
suspicious role of at least the US intelligence if not the US military and
the Obama administration. And yet our government and the ruling elite of
Pakistan are shy of mentioning this publicly. How many Pakistanis should
die before they move? How many of our children must be orphaned before you
speak up? You are being forced to ditch Kashmir and submit without
questions to whatever Washington wants to do in Afghanistan. Why can't you
take a stand? What are you afraid of? That your assets in American and
British banks will be seized?
4. SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES: US diplomats camouflaged as Afghan Taliban
carrying weapons and pictures of sensitive buildings have been arrested, not
once but many times. US ambassador Anne Patterson has been using her
personal rapport with President Zardari and the Interior Minister to allow
US security firms into Pakistan, mostly to repeat the same mistakes of Iraq
and Afghanistan. Pakistanis don't want any of this. Pakistanis don't agree
with the American view that Pakistan is a war theater following Iraq and
Afghanistan, and we will resist this. 'Extremism' is not the only
explanation for the terrorist army in South Waziristan. America's role in
Afghanistan is also a big reason for the regional mess.
I make these grievances, and so do most Pakistanis, knowing that we are
seeing a shift in this country. Patriotism and PakNationalism is on the
ascent here. Take the example of one Pakistani politician who received a
call from the US embassy last week. Senator Tariq Azim was asked to visit
the US Embassy building in the secured diplomatic enclave because a former
State Department analyst-turned-academic, Mr. Daniel Markey, wanted to see
him.
Senator Azim accepted the request for the meeting but politely declined to
come to the embassy. He said if Mr. Markey wants to see him he should come
to the senator's office. Sen. Azim's action was not about being
antagonistic to Washington. He is a proponent of strong ties with America
but he wanted to make a statement on US meddling in Pakistani politics,
where Washington's diplomacy with Pakistan shifted over the past two years
from the Pakistan Foreign Office to direct contacts and private dealings
with political parties.
Show some pride and compassion and share the grief of your people before
it's too late.
