What is happening in Pakistan? The military is fighting insurgents to
save the heart and soul of Pakistan and making enormous sacrifices.
The people are facing power and sugar shortages, bearing retaliatory
bomb and armed attacks from the insurgents and living with the losses
of dear ones in an incredibly strained human security and cost of
living crises. The Judiciary is doing house cleaning to strengthen
itself as an institution. The Interior and Foreign Ministries are
coping with a media hell bent on exposing the alien covert operatives
within Pakistan and the Intelligence Agencies are going bananas trying
to develop a coherent picture from the fast moving events unfolding.
The media is on a roll and now riding a tiger that they dare not
dismount from after having gone far out on a limb.

The politicians and their hangers-on seem to be oblivious of this
hullabaloo. They are bunkered in the trappings of officialdom,
cocooned in bullet proof limos escorted by security personnel and
involved in no-holds barred games of survival. If in the process they
have to demolish others and jeopardize their country's national
security then so be it. There are wise men-much like those of Gotham-
who are egging them on by ridiculing what they call antiquated
concepts of national security and threat perception---and giving them
ideas of making up, compromising and surrendering to survive. They
dredge up the past and parade it forgetting that in doing so they harm
their own country---for them catharsis and exposure are the new
buzzwords. A commercial media laps it up with their eyes on fat
salaries and profits as they serve up the mess that they think is
entertainment for the masses. The slimy trails being left are merging
into a morass of slime.
