Balochistan and Bush's Geater M E Projct

President of USA, George W Bush, mentioned “Greater Middle East Project” more than once but did not give it’s details. An article written by Ralph Peters was published in US “Armed Forces Journal” in June this year which, when became talk of the town all over Middle East, was swept aside by saying that it was view of an individual but the question is that why this idea was at all floated and then publishes in the “Armed Forces Journal”?

These days it is a strategy to float an idea to get feed-back and observe the general reaction for better preparedness for executing the plan. Also after hearing the same idea for some time people in general become less reactive to the idea thus easing the task of the executor.

This article has dealt with in depth what is the “Greater Middle East Project” and also drawn the future map of “Greater Middle East”. After reading the article it strikes one’s mind that Army operation in Balochistan could be a link of the said project because the operation could initiate revolt and which could make ground for foreign involvement. Now one can say that occupying Afghanistan and Iraq and threatening Iran of an armed attack could also be linked with the said project. How cleverly Bush administration is getting it’s plan implemented through it’s so-called friends, the unthinking Muslim Rulers.

Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have been declared to be unnatural states in the said plan. According to the said plan, new states of Free Shia Arab, Free Balochistan and Free Kurditan will be created by cutting other Muslim states main losers in the game will be Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. The new Saudi Arabia will comprise of only Riyadh and some surrounding area which will be one of the tribal based many states created by taking away most of Saudi Arabia and a part of United Arab Emirates. Hijaz will be made an international sacred state. Pakistan will comprise of only Punjab and Karachi. Balochistan, tribal areas of Sind and Bloch area of Iran will make the so-called Free Balochistan. North Western Frontier Province of Pakistan will be added to Afghanistan.

According to the said plan Iraq will be divided in two parts. The area belonging to Sunnis and Kurd area of Turkey will be form the so-called Free Kurdistan. The remaining Iraq, Shia area of Saudi Arabia and Western shore of Iran will be made in to the so-called Shia Arab which state will be opposing Iran.

In accordance with the said plan, shape of Kuwait, Dubai, Qatar, Oman and Israel will be protected and all the Muslims countries from the East of Egypt to the West of India and from Southern border of Europe to Northern border of Oman will change shape. Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Jordon, Lebanon, and Yemen will gain while Saudi Arab, Pakistan, Iraq, Turkey, Palestine, Abu Dhabi and Syria will be the losers.

President's Chair

Dictator sticks to his rule as if he had been clamped with the country's ruler's chair and, if he tries to move away, he will get trapped.

Isn’t it true for our country ?

Good Governance

On August 17, 2006, information was placed before the Senate by Minister of State for Economic Affairs, Hina Rabbani Khar, in response to two different questions of ruling Pakistan Muslim League Senator from Sindh, Nisar Memon. He had asked for retail prices of items of everyday use during the past 10 years

According to the minister, beef was available for Rs53.59 per kg in the year 1999 which was now being sold at Rs108.78 per kg. (The fact is that beef was available for Rs 60 per kg in 1999 while now it is Rs 150 per kg)The minister told the house that mutton was available for Rs101.55 per kg in 1999 which was now being sold for Rs204.03 per kg. (The fact is that in 1999 Mutton was Rs 100 per kg and now it is Rs 250 to 260 per kg)

She said Dal Mash was available for Rs32.02 per kg in 1999 whereas it was Rs 69.37 per kg on June 30 this year. Fact is that Dal Mash was available at Rs 32 per kg in 1999 while since May, 2006 it is being sold at Rs 80 to 90 per kg.

Ms Hina Rabbani Khar said that the price of milk was Rs16.72 per liter in 1999 and it had now increased to Rs 24.33 per kg while the fact is that in 1999 it was Rs 16 per liter and now it is minimum Rs 28, though milk mixed with water is available at lower price.

The minister did not mention Petrol (Gasoline / Motor Spirit) the price of which was Rs 22.60 per liter on October 12, 1999 when elected government was removed by military might and, having been increased by leaps and bounds, is about Rs 58 per liter for the past some months, that is more than two and a half times.

Peculiarity of minister’s statement is that she has given prices to two places of decimal while prices of the said items had never been in decimal over the past at least 20 years.

The above is a proof how ignorant our present government functionaries are about affairs of our country.

UK made arrests on Washington pressure

UK made arrests on Washington pressure:
Plane attack was not imminent: Official

NBC News reported that US and British authorities had a significant disagreement over when to move in on the suspects in the alleged plot to bring down trans-Atlantic airliners bound for the United States.

A British official said the uk police were planning to continue to run surveillance for at least another week to try to obtain more evidence, while American officials pressured them to arrest the suspects sooner.

In contrast to previous reports, the official suggested an attack was not imminent, saying the suspects had not yet purchased any airline tickets. In fact, some did not even have passports.

The source did say, however, that police believe one UK-based suspect was ready to conduct a ‘dry run’. British authorities had wanted to let him go forward with part of the plan, but the Americans balked.

An aide to President George Bush denied the account.”There was unprecedented cooperation and coordination between the US, the UK and Pakistani officials throughout the case,” said Frances Townsend, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, “and we worked together to protect our citizens from harm while ensuring that we gathered as much info as possible to bring the plotters to justice. There was no disagreement between US and UK officials.

”The British official said the Americans also argued over the timing of the arrest of suspected ringleader Rashid Rauf in Pakistan, warning that if he was not taken into custody immediately, the US would ‘render’ him or pressure the Pakistani government to arrest him.

British security was concerned that Mr Rauf be taken into custody “in circumstances where there was due process,” according to the official, “so that he could be tried in British courts”. “Ultimately”, the official says, “Mr Rauf was arrested over the objections of the British”.

The official said that some suspects were known to the security services even before the London subway bombings last year.

Monitoring of Mr Rauf, in particular, apparently played a critical role, revealing that the plotters had tested the explosive liquid mixture they planned to use at a location outside Britain.

NBC News had previously reported that the explosive mixture was tested in Pakistan.

Perseverance Day

يومِ استقلال مبارک

پاکستان پائيندہ باد

Quaid-i-Azam had declared 14 August as

Perseverance Day - - - يومِ استقلال

For the last 55 years our country is being ruled by bureaucrats, whether in uniform or without uniform and we are their subjects directed by them to obey. Was struggle for Pakistan made to this end? We claim to respect Founder of Pakistan, Mr Muhammad Ali Jinnah but it is limited only to hanging his portraits in offices. A marathon portrait of him has been erected by the side of Islamabad Highway at a cost of millions of Rupees to make a show-off. Did Mr Muhammad Ali Jinnah advised us of such things? Here is an excerpt from his address of 25th March, 1948 at Chitagang (East Pakistan) to the gazetted officers of Pakistan

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I want you to realize fully the deep implications of the revolutionary change that has taken place. Whatever community, caste or creed you belong to you are now the servants of Pakistan. Servants can only do their duties and discharge their responsibilities by serving. Those days have gone when the country was ruled by the bureaucracy. It is people's Government, responsible to the people more or less on democratic lines and parliamentary practices. Under these fundamental changes I would put before you two or three points for your consideration:

You have to do your duty as servants; you are not concerned with this political or that political party; that is not your business. It is a business of politicians to fight out their case under the present constitution or the future constitution that may be ultimately framed. You, therefore, have nothing to do with this party or that party. You are civil servants. Whichever gets the majority will form the Government and your duty is to serve that Government for the time being as servants not as politicians. How will you do that? The Government in power for the time being must also realize and understand their responsibilities that you are not to be used for this party or that. I know we are saddled with old legacy, old mentality, old psychology and it haunts our footsteps, but it is up to you now to act as true servants of the people even at the risk of any Minister or Ministry trying to interfere with you in the discharge of your duties as civil servants. I hope it will not be so but even if some of you have to suffer as a victim. I hope it will not happen --I expect you to do so readily. We shall of course see that there is security for you and safeguards to you. If we find that is in anyway prejudicial to your interest we shall find ways and means of giving you that security. Of course you must be loyal to the Government that is in power.

The second point is that of your conduct and dealings with the people in various Departments, in which you may be: wipe off that past reputation; you are not rulers. You do not belong to the ruling class; you belong to the servants. Make the people feel that you are their servants and friends, maintain the highest standard of honor, integrity, justice and fair-play. If you do that, people will have confidence and trust in you and will look upon you as friends and well wishers. I do not want to condemn everything of the past, there were men who did their duties according to their lights in the service in which they were placed. As administrator they did do justice in many cases but they did not feel that justice was done to them because there was an order of superiority and they were held at a distance and they did not feel the warmth but they felt a freezing atmosphere when they had to do anything with the officials. Now that freezing atmosphere must go and you must do your best with all courtesy and kindness and try to understand the people. May be sometimes you will find that it is trying and provoking when a man goes on talking and repeating a thing over and over again, but have patience and show patience and make them feel that justice has been done to them.

Next thing that I would like to impress upon you is this: I keep or getting representations and memorials containing grievances of the people of all sorts of things. May be there is no justification, may be there is no foundation for that, may be that they are under wrong impression and may be they are misled but in all such cases I have followed one practice for many years which is this: Whether I agree with anyone or not, whether I think that he has any imaginary grievances whether I think that he does not understand but I always show patience. If you will also do the same in your dealings with an individual or any association or any organization you will ultimately stand to gain. Let not people leave you with this bearing that you hate, that you are offensive, that you have insulted or that you are rude to them. Not one per cent who comes in contact with you should be left in that state of mind. You may not be able to agree with him but do not let him go with this feeling that you are offensive or that you are discourteous. If you will follow that rule believe me you will win the respect of the people.”

Continuing Quiz of July 26

You didn’t know well the answers to quiz of July 26.
Never mind. Try this one:

List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.

Easier, wasn't it? Now, the lesson:

The point is that none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. Those listed in the last post were not second-rate achievers; they were the best in their fields. But, applause dies, awards tarnish, achievements are forgotten, certificates and accolades are buried with their owners.

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who truly care.

Why not be one of those people?
