Pakistan. The Uncomfortable Truth
This may be a very uncomfortable truth but I think the world has made its moral judgement on Pakistan. In a sense it is wonderful that the world has a collective moral conscience but it is a tragedy for the innocent Pakistanis.
The professional aid givers, campaigners and do gooders will do their best but the simple truth is that there is a complete inertia, an ambivalence about Pakistan because of the treason that it has committed against the human race. Sympathy for individual suffering will continue but Pakistan is reaping what it has sown.
This may lead to even bigger problems. There are thousands yet to die as a result of the floods. Extremist Islamists, as the psychopaths that they are, will seek to exploit this and they may succeed. Nevertheless, it will not alter, in fact it will probably reinforce the world’s antipathy for Pakistan.
As in all such crises what is needed is leadership. Obama emerged from nowhere to rescue America from its descent into shame. Let us pray that a real leader comes forward for Pakistan.
Cameron Takes Charge
I am tremendously impressed with David Cameron. His light has been hidden under the bushel of the coalition for too long. His courageous words in Turkey and India have reminded me that he is a true leader. Tonight’s excellent BBC documentary, Five Days That Changed Britain, reminds me that it was his bold leadership that initiated the coalition, an idea that is proving stronger and cleverer than anyone can have thought.
He has said precisely the right thing about Turkey, Israel, Gaza, India and Pakistan. He has spoken the truths that so many others have been afraid to. I am proud that he is our prime minister. He fills me with confidence that he knows his direction and will stick firmly to it. He is nobody’s fool and everybody’s champion. He is a man who I am very prepared to trust, to give him the time he needs to achieve the big ambitions.
David Cameron is the right man at the right time. We should all give him our support.
Abandon Afghanistan Now!
Our so called leaders don’t listen to us. They’ve abandoned any pretence of democracy by imposing a new European regime and president on us. They don’t even listen to their expert advisors. Instead they prolong an idiotic and discredited drugs strategy that brings violent crime to the streets of every town in the country and funds international terrorism.
Perhaps they will hear the crunch of Gulbeddin’s bullets as they smash into British flesh and bone?
Please listen! Too many heroes have died or been cruelly maimed. This foreign land is not worth it and the idea that this strategy is protecting us at home is nonsense.
Now is the time to abandon Afghanistan. Leave behind the disgusting and corrupt Karzai for, sure enough, whatever we do, he is doomed to suffer a grisly and horrific fate. Leave behind the Taliban for they are medieval evil but with no interest outside their own borders. Leave behind the Afghan people because much as we may deplore their treatment of women and of each other that is their problem, not ours. Bring our boys home!
As for Al Qaeda and the threat of a renegade nuclear Pakistan, let us install a small but powerful contingent of our most heavily armed troops, garrisoned in impregnable fortresses. In conjunction with our allies they should be equipped with the very best that we have. Mostly they can observe and use pilotless drones to interdict where necessary. All movements should be done by helicopter because we have no real interest in “hearts and minds”. When necessary, overwhelming, unrelenting and merciless force must be used against our enemies and yes, let our men have battlefield nuclear weapons too. We need to blast these evil Islamists off the face of the earth. There is no more time for patience or consideration or concern.
