Will The Pakistanis Learn?

In a marketplace, a young girl runs after two men on a motorcycle, carrying a bag she thought they were forgetting. The man looked back at the girl and sped away. The bag blew up. The girl died. Imagine the cold bloodedness involved. This happened in India. The two men probably were working at the behest of some terror merchant in Pakistan. The cruelty showed by these two men resembles the cruelty demonstrated by the terrorists who gunned down all those children in Peshawar. When you talk of Pakistan, the line between terrorists and establishment i.e. the army gets really blurred. The killing that the Pakistani army carried out in Bangladesh is a matter of record. The brutality with which they snuffed dissension in the Baltistan area or Balochistan is shocking. Since early 1990s and the inception of Taliban the deaths on both sides of the border have left the sensible searching for answers.

Terrorist attacks in Pakistan are a regular occurrence. Yet another example of Frankenstein turning against it’s creator. The too clever by half Pakistanis thought that the terrorists will do all their dirty work and stay in the shadows. When the time comes they will melt their guns, forge plows out of them and lead peaceful lives. I would like to sell them the big chunk of ice floating at the South Pole. Their naiveté is flabbergasting. When the TTP or the LeJ or any of those groups were killing Indians or Balochis or Shias or just hapless Pakistanis, the Paki army was just fine with it. Now that they have killed their children, they are upset. They are carrying out serious bombings in that area. They are demanding the Afghanis extradite the man responsible for the attack on the school. I would like to remind those bastards of someone by the name of Dawood Ibrahim. We have been demanding his extradition along with another 20 odd terrorists for almost two decades now. The Paki establishment has refused us repeatedly but now they are demanding justice. Only the blind and the liberals cannot spot the hypocrisy in this behavior.

My heart really goes out to the parents of those children. Even the cruel Paki army men do not deserve to see this done to their children. Those unfortunate children ended up paying dearly for their fathers’ sins. I am not indulging in schadenfraude. I am just stating the facts. Now the Pakistanis may get the guys who did this or they may not. After all, Osama dodged the vast American war machine for close to a decade. The real question is that are the Pakistanis ready to stop using terrorism as an extension of their foreign policy? My guess is that they will not. Men like Hamid Gul and Parvez Musharraf are extremely cruel people who will, after sometime, describe even this loss as collateral damage and go on supporting the terrorists. For them the end is so precious that any and all means are acceptable to them. No loss is too great, no life too valuable. Here in India we are holding two minute silences and praying for the dead children. There in Pakistan, less than 24 hours later we have the darling of the Pakistani establishment, terror meister Hafeez Syed blaming the tragedy on India and vowing retaliation. No. Pakistanis are not going to learn from this extreme tragedy. Somehow I think that the hatred for India makes Pakistanis stupid beyond reason. Stupid enough to burn their house down. Stupid enough to kill their children.

My suggestion to my fellow Indians is that sympathize with the parents of the dead children. Pray for their departed souls. But under no circumstance, drop your guard down. Pakistan will never learn.
