The US -West definitely started the Islamism that now plagues the world, but then with their typical "cocksure" carelessness, let it become the monster it now is. They thought it was a useful tool, a convenient Kleenex tissue, with which to trump Soviet bloc, and "wipe" it off the face of the Earth. They did succeed in that. So, the West didn't "invent" Islamism, but certainly planted, watered and fertilised its seeds, with Dollars and Reaganite hypocrisy (see: http://www.charliewilsonswar.net/). Has anyone heard about the "famous" late Texan Senator, a swine called Charlie Wilson? If not, do acquaint yourselves please. It would help you to know. That was the "international roguery" aspect of our present sorry situation...But the West, it seems - is still intent on playing this dirty game here, so as to make an excuse for its presence in this key area....to counter Russia (which they failed to destroy in the 1990s), and to ensure Western global domination of what remains of the lifeblood resource that runs its decadent and immoral materialist civilisation: Petroleum.....that is why they created the Taliban jointly with Pakistan in 1994, "allowed" (or even assisted) 9/11 to happen, and then invaded Iraq and killed its rascally but otherwise legitimate and modernist Ba'ath Party ruler Saddam Hussein - on the mock charges of possessing "WMDs".....that is why they have not yet captured Osama Bin Laden, nor that pesky and wayward Pathan shepherd Mullah Omar, inspite of a "coalition of the willing", comprising NATO and other hangers-on....the most modern and mighty of all armed forces are on the ground in Afghanistan, having spent nine years there (in America's LONGEST war ever), having setup the Karzai puppet regime....but they Western control over the situation they set fire to is clearly slipping out of control and towards defeat; while Osama has long been rumoured to be a joint Western-Pakistani guest, living the life of a king hidden in Pakistan, while Mullah Omar is also said to be doing the same. NATO itself "leaks" these comments, "strategically", from time to time......a balancing act in the intricate art of lies and "plausible deniability", you know.
However, the partner, nay, the servant/pet dog the Americans had chosen all along to help them in this arduous 30 year task is not a reliable one - and certainly not of the desired pedigree. Pakistan's ISI may be inferior, but it certainly has convoluted visions of its own grandeur, no matter how comical they may otherwise be (of making Pakistan into a Third World "Islamic" Imperium and superpower!). And in many cases, like a naughty kid, it is now starting to become delinquent and disobey its Western parents.....it was a prize American baby once (like the late and great Shah of Iran's SAVAK intelligence service was - but the ISI much more sophisticated than them), and is now a powerful rogue international nuisance factor in its own right.....a "state" in its own right would be more correct. (The US use of the term "stateless actors" is incorrect; there is very much a state behind all such "actors"). Till recently, I used to buy the "standard" official Taliban insurgency story wholesale. Even so, there were many unanswered questions in my mind. But the events of this October in Afghanistan and Pakistan have shed more light on that murky aspect and have have changed my mind. I have begun to suspect that the ISI is behind 90% of this Taliban drama not only in Afghanistan, but also here in Pakistan. After all, the Taliban are the same; Pakistan's "strategic depth" doctrine that created them, encompasses both Pakistan and Afghanistan, the latter as an extension of sorts. It was only after the recent NATO incursions that NATO petrol tankers were attacked and burned by the hundreds in Islamabad, Shikarpur, Quetta and Taru Jabba (Peshawar). If it was the Taliban alone who did this, then they seem pretty lousy strategists: why did they not attack the hundreds of tankers that pass in huge convoys everyday through Pakistan - before, with such frequency as they did last week? It is odd...something smells....yet something very amateurish. Why haven't the Taliban attacked other "soft" strategic targets, like in key army cantonments, as well as key "enemy" diplomatic installations such as consulates? And schools? So far, only paltry village schools have been targeted in the school bombing campaign; in Pakistan's dysfunctional educational system - as with all else - such schools do not really count for anything, as many don't even have teachers...but is it surprising, that none of the "hated" posh elite Anglophone schools, which educate our thief leadership and bureaucracy, have even been touched? It does not require any special genius to sabotage them. Why do "they" concentrate solely on using live suicide bombers as their main tactical weapons of choice, when their targets could well be "taken out" with simple rockets using simple telemetry, etc.......? Equally mysterious is the fact that no government official, high or low, political, civil or military - has yet been assassinated: three high ranking police officers have been assassinated, supposedly by the Taliban, two by suicide bombers - in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province since late 2006, but it is strange to note that these three were reputed to be among the cleanest and most efficient in the police department; public opinion says that they were "bumped off" as they were impediments in the way of corrupt colleagues. Observing such patterns evokes suspicion...and leads one to think as to what kind of game is being played, for what, and what kind of players are involved - using which tactics..... However, the ISI's trademark pigheadedness and clumsiness also gives its actions away. They are not as sophisticated as they like to think they are, being "made in Pakistan"..... I believe that the ISI recently wanted to show the US-NATO combine that they can influence strategic regional outcomes if they want to....or at least, irritate the major players. Likewise, it now seems to me that the ISI is behind almost all the targeted killings political or otherwise, kidnappings for ransom and bomb blasts that pass for the "Taliban" or even other criminal activity here. I think that the ISI is even responsible for attacking our own government police and paramilitaries in the guise of the Taliban.....I now believe that they kidnapped our own former ambassador to Afghanistan Tariq Azizuddin two years back....it is one evil game, being played by a Western-created international rogue force - now madly out of control, and bent on destroying not only everything in its way, but also itself too. The ISI is a very third rate organisation compared to the German Nazis, but just like Hitler's Germany burnt itself out, so can we be sure that the ISI will too......very soon. There is a limit to which all games can be played, and this one is certainly no exception.
All this is apart from the fact that the United States and the West support a set of some of the most shameless scoundrels and rascals existing, since those mentioned in myth and scripture -thieves and bandits and thugs, bereft of any of the niceties of pretense or compunction, like the Pakistani "educated" ruling elite classes.................it is in western "interest" to do so of course, but then we can also justify saying it is in our interests to declare war on this malignant Goliath of a nation straddling the globe, and fell it just as David did the actual Goliath.......does America honestly think they will never answer for such black deeds? They feel smug and secure at present, I suppose........."famous last cockiness", to paraphrase a cliché...........
Nobody cares about the effects this stinking game is having on the breakdown of society, morality, ideas, spirituality.....the very human fabric as a whole. Is it any surprise then, that the world will soon be in for a massive upheaval, UNPRECEDENTED in known history? This is a world riven by merciless corruption, cutthroat competition, chaos, disintegration and explosive instability. This is what the victory of America and its "West" brought Mankind....is this the "hope, freedom and fairplay" so hypocritically promised to the world by Ronald Reagan in his exaggerated platitudes? Which then, is the "Evil Empire": the old Soviet Union, or the glittering, unsustainable madness of Babylon the Great, the Whore of Revelation, aka the USA and its West? I think even a child will know; children do tell the truth you know. It was a child that said "the Emperor has no clothes on!"
