American warmongers stir a hornet’s nest in Pakistan

PARIS — Pakistan finally bowed to Washington’s angry demands last week
by unleashing its military against rebellious Pashtun tribesmen of
North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) — collectively mislabelled
“Taliban” in the West.

The Obama administration had threatened to stop $2 billion US annual
cash payments to bankrupt Pakistan’s political and military leadership
and block $6.5 billion future aid, unless Islamabad sent its soldiers
into Pakistan’s turbulent NWFP along the Afghan frontier.

The result was a bloodbath: Some 1,000 “terrorists” killed (read:
mostly civilians) and 1.2 million people — most of Swat’s population —
made refugees.

Pakistan’s U.S.-rented armed forces have scored a brilliant victory
against their own people. Too bad they don’t do as well in wars
against India. Blasting civilians, however, is much safer and more
profitable.
