Is a US attack on Pakistan imminent?

Is a US attack on Pakistan imminent?

By Usman Khalid

“Washington will push for a compliant political leadership, with no commitment to the national interest, a leadership which will serve US imperial interests, while concurrently contributing under the disguise of ‘decentralization’, to the weakening of the central government and the fracture of Pakistan’s fragile federal structure.”…. ‘U.S. Special Forces are expected to vastly expand their presence. The official justification and pretext… to extend the ‘war on terrorism’. Concurrently, to justify its counter-terrorism program, Washington is also beefing up its covert support to the ‘terrorists.’ It has become apparent that the insurgency in the FATA and elsewhere in NWFP is aided and abetted by the US. It wants to weaken the control of the federal government over the provinces and regions of Pakistan and it does not care whether it is achieved by Islamists or by ethnic nationalists.

Arif Mohammed Khan defines terrorism

Arif Mohammed Khan defines terrorism

I do understand your feelings about Israel. I do not challenge your right to protest against any decision or action of the government that you feel is not right or in the national interest. Your right to canvass support and mobilize public opinion cannot be disputed. But do you think it is right to canvass support by holding out a threat of "immense turmoil and bloodshed". Is this the way to conduct an argument or debate in a civilized society? Do you really think that if the government has decided to pursue friendly relations with Israel, then you can force them to change their decision by such violent threats?
