Gazing at the sinking age of the era of Great Victoria’

stood the new General’s transpiring rules ready to lead and prevail

breaking the world out of shackles of dominion and protectorate…

Brought the advent of conception of democracy and equality

the deliverance of the generation of wealth and prosperity

the era stood ready to embrace the decree of torch and liberty

the genesis of the age of freedom and sovereignty

ushering the soar of confederation of the United States…

Succeeded struggle against the escalate of tyranny and repression

a commandment foiling the spread of red rancor and Stalin protraction

again ravaged wars upon lands’ wrecking havoc and raze’

retreating adversary to the gallows of destruction and disintegrate

came the rise of the only dominion, the ascendancy of the new realm’

the realm of the One Holy United States…

Begins extortion of the immense power to mutilate

to terminate the very foundations she impregnate

hazed the glare of the incandescence of its glowing stars’

slanting hues of white stripes and red cast

Unable to enfold the enticement of tempting sway

And she shot right in her way…

Embroil the embryo for birth of trinity

an era to embrace the emanation of new weights’

this is the story of end of The One United States

and the legend goes…

The Mumbai incident has again proven instrumental in detracting the track 2 diplomacy and has flushed away all the gains of Confidence Building Measures that the two South Asian nuclear rivals had been up for the past half a decade. It clearly proves this very presumption wrong that ‘keeping all other maters hijacked by the Kashmir issue is insane and ill productive’. There had been a push in trade relations making Pakistan the most viable material supplier for the booming Indian housing industry, Sir Creek and other border issues were being sorted out, exchange of prisoners, visits of celebrities, swap of delegations, peace missions, matches, concerts…all being done while keeping the throbbing issue of Kashmir in lull.

A single incident thousands of miles away from the trigger of all previous wars proved fatal in opening the paradox again. This not only proves that normalizing relations on the pretext of ‘Kashmir-later’ strategy is not only flawed at its very core but jeopardizes any gains made in all other areas whether be diplomatic, trade or public front. Evident is case that the first and foremost causality of this fallacious strategy has been diplomatic disengagement, followed by withdrawal of trade and sporting events. It’s like erection of building on unsound grounds without strong lest any foundations at all. How beautiful it might look’ is bound to devour into the quicksand of myriad of sacrifices, the grave upon which its frail foundations were raised.

Kashmir is awakening. Excessively organized and yet peaceful processions engaging whole of the Muslim population has not only grabbed the attention of Indian and International media but has stirred the Indian policy makers. Previously all incidents were conveniently brushed aside’ being Pakistan sponsored and thus tagged interventionary’ but the latest spade of reaction from across the valley and the first ever economic blockade on the hands of Hindus has flared the relatively hibernated consciousness of freedom struggle against decades of Indian oppression. Seeing the magnitude of recoil, Indian media (known for keeping such issues buried) began questioning the logic of world’s largest democracy clamping sentiments of whole swathes of population. They for the first time ever sensed rage and exasperation that this Muslim community endured upon the hands of world’s largest military concentration. Indian government taken by surprise by the sheer size of Freedom marches ‘though always successful in defaming and debilitating such uprisings to be cross border instigations’ had its own hands bitten in an action to glorify Hindu hardliners by land transfer. Succeeded by incident that blazed the boiling sentiments’ a deliberate economic blockade as punishment on part of Hindus and Government; not only stirred the already fomented situation out of control but induced a cognizance of insecurity and discrimination on part of the sham democracy. This was first time in many years that the lost valley again heard the echoes of rousing Freedom, the roar that not only put cracks into the walls of Red Fort but clattered the world capitals.

(Cont: Dance with the Wolves)     The all-powerful Israel wreaks havoc on Gaza, killing innumerable civilians in guise of pursuing and eradicating Hamas. World watches in disbelief, Security Council stands in non-conviction’ abortive enough not to assert mere proclamation of sorrow or apprehension, Arab World as always in the state of shock and awe but incapacitated to put an end to this endless carnage, United States in a usually show of defiance stands to guard the continuance of unbridled malefaction. Though the Promised Land is tainted with myriad of conflicts from medieval ages till today but what caused a sudden death to a relative peaceful truce, is the eruption impetuous or there’s something shady?

Starting off’ no matter how strong and bold Israel has become in the last half a century and how ruggedly it preserves the state of its security, still it does not possess the leverage to act against the will and backing of the Unites States. Whether there be threats of unilateral strikes on the Iranian Nuclear facilities, undertaking operations against Beirut, razing the suspected nuclear facility of Damascus or the cleansing of Gaza. This has been the United States that has provided the cover and space to this atomic state in achieving its objectives, thus these are the Americans that absorb and shields Israel form the worldwide rebuff lest condemnation. But why such a massive operation at the brink of changing US administration, why at this particular juncture, there are several explanations to it…

Beginning with…the outgoing Bush Administration’ that is tainted with a charge sheet of disrupting this world peace in an attempt to securing the US interests in critical regions. This President is already departing with the lowest public rating ever in the US history, thus staining the already tarnished administrating when they have noting to lose further is the best chance Israelis can get in the current decade. They know that the Democrates cant afford to gulp Arab’s fury when Obama speaks of mending the US image abroad, the upcoming administration would act as rational players as there’s lot of hope being pinned upon to patch up the wounded relations, they would not be giving a blank cheque or be ready to take the blames for the misadventures of Tel Aviv, thus its better to act swiftly and decisively today then be a source of embarrassment for their new mentors. This somehow leads to a hint that apart form what Hamas was thinking of extracting gains form a limited conflict, this was Israel too that needed this, off course Mossad has always proved to be instrumental in flaring up conflicts. Could this be called a temptating incitement on the hands of Israelis themselves to invite their fury, off course every conflict needs an excuse to conflagrate in today’s world, whether it be spontaneous or self-triggered. But what they have to achieve form all this mess?

First, they have not been at ease in dealing with the Hamas government. They can not sit and talk to a bunch of people whom they call terrorist. This is the reason why, there has not been a single direct contact through out the past several years between Israel and the elected Palestenian government, who boasts of being the first elected legislature ever in the Arab history but those who were greeted by sanctions and starvation by the enlightened democratic world. Also the Israelis are not comfortable with growing popularity and approval rating amongst Palestinians of Hamas that is seen non-corrupt and more people centric then Fatah. Thus the only way left for Israel is to wreak such great a pain that people should start thinking Hamas more of a threat then protector. And this is exactly the reason that civilian casualties today surpasses any previous Israeli invasion. Instead of targeting the Hamas leadership, they are continuously destroying populated schools and refugee shelters. Precision weapons are deliberately being used against people to warn them of their next choice, they are being told not to elect a leadership that do not come to terms with Israel. Thus it might be taken as a bloody exhortation, forced compulsion of Israeli will on people for the next elected choice. Would Palestine be deterred remains to be seen in coming months…

Second, they want to destroy and eradicate Hamas Leadership once for all, by destroying all possible shelters and suspected targets’ enough to drag them back decade or so. They want them weaken and maimed. This in a sense would pave way for the ‘moderates’ to come back, who are flexible enough to make Israelis comfortable.

Now the subject that conspire Israeli involvement in triggering this crisis. The very notion of Shin Bet existence is the infiltration of Palestinian Authority and Population. With the world’s best surveillance systems and self defense capabilities, even the very conviction of Israel caught off-guard is flawed form the very core. How could they not see and identify Kasaams (that triggered the whole conflict) and preempt them form location of a size of large zoo! If we for a moment overlook this unedifying reality then on what grounds the IDF can protect this tiny state form foreign missile attack? Thus the locations were known with cent percent certainty, it was just that they needed these attacks to pave way for a pre-planned retaliation as had happened in past. Every step that Israel takes is prefabricated and calculated, they make plans, select targets, churns diplomatic concessions, load aircrafts, prepares the ground forces and waits for the ‘exact’ moment for showdown, and every time they incite the victim to pull the trigger themselves. Here you go, the whole episode is ready to show the well rehearsed orchestra under the auspicious of terrorism and the right of self defense with the United States on its back and well composed media on its front.

Secondly, the IDF is still feeling the pain of wounds Hezbollah inflicted on them, the mighty military Inc. was embarrassed and had since been figuring ways to wheeze their frustration.

Lastly and the most convincing motive is the Israeli election. Years of violence tribulation has transformed the landscapes of democracies on both the sides of divide, the electorate on either side just can not grasp even a hint of concession given by any leadership given to the other side and this is the reason why Hamas and Olmert are flexing all their options to delineate their respective picture as uncompromising as possible. Though Israel being a highly educated society but years of war and terrorist hysteria has transfigured their psyche to be security centric, thus the threat of any kind be it real or imaginary is bought with absolute blindness. All parties in Israel thus has got the security module as their corner stone, they sell all of their tenants attached with this threat and as the elections await right on corner, the Israeli Democracy is using its fist to determine the next premier, they need to white wash the gross effect of corruption scandal by showcasing their fury against their test subjects, a proven tactic to divert attention form domestic issues by magnifying the threat of Kasaam fireworks, plus they also need the approval of ultra orthodox sect of their society. Unfortunately we have learned to ignore the mistakes, forget blunders and forgive rascals

The all-powerful Israel wreaks havoc on Gaza, killing innumerable civilians in guise of pursuing and eradicating Hamas. World watches in disbelief, Security Council stands in non-conviction’ abortive enough not to assert mere proclamation of sorrow or apprehension, Arab World as always in the state of shock and awe but incapacitated to put an end to this endless carnage, United States in a usually show of defiance stands to guard the continuance of unbridled malefaction. Though the Promised Land is tainted with myriad of conflicts from medieval ages till today but what caused a sudden death to a relative peaceful truce, is the eruption impetuous or there’s something shady?

It started with the declaration of an end to peace deal from Hamas with the firing of kasaam rockets (nothing more then the oversized fireworks) into Israeli territory that triggered threats of forceful retaliation. In a state of defiance and stubbornness this foolish practice continued (damaging no more then roof tops and street poles), like Hamas was deliberately inviting retaliation and Gaza’s infliction’ and there they got it. Apaches and Jets loaded with tons of ‘precision’ weapons began to pound the strip, followed by an all out ground assault, until and unless ‘objectives’ were met!

So the question is why the ‘leaders’ of Hamas who have seen the wrath of Israeli military machine on countless occasions still dare to provoke them. Didn’t they know that their dwarfish kasaams can and does not inflict any damage what so ever other then infuriate their muscular neighbour? Didn’t they know that they have no where to run and hide under the watchful eyes of drones and blitz of F-16s? Didn’t they know they their bullets are a no match against shields of Merkava and APCs ? And didn’t they know Kessnet was having election so the point scoring (Palestinian terrorism) in political campaign would go in favor of hardliners? Then why all this bloody mess!!

Point Scoring! Hamas also needed political gains the same way politicians do on other side of the ‘Great Wall’, to score maximum from the panic created by others terrorism. Hamas has forged its image to be an intractable, unyielding firebrand organization which can stand fast while dealing with Israel unlike Fatah which is seen as sham, incapable and corrupt outfit of moderates that don’t bring any good either. So their selling point has always been that Jews needed some one of their own crossness.

But since coming to power, it diluted itself a great both in tone and body language, as it was Hamas that had been keeping the Peace truce for the last several years without any major confrontation. They some how learned to live with political sticks, though helpful in keeping the IDF away from Gazans but with the elections upcoming it again needed to assert its hibernated stance by fighting, defending and ultimately throwing the ‘invited’ intruders out, so that the wounded electorate would give the triumphant Hamas thumbs up for another several years or so. But this time they were highly mistaken, Hamas calculated only their own side of equation without considering what the Israelis would do to balance. They were grossly wrong on the scale of retaliation and destruction. A few dozen casualties was the premeditated figure’ enough to enrage Palestinian populace and that would ultimately be halted under the International Diplomatic and Public pressure, every thing would go to normal and Hamas would be brandished as undefeated victors, a glorious image for their elections.

Though become a standard procedure and successful one in various parts of world, it hasn’t worked for Hamas, at least this time…May be their Fatah brethren are taking advantage of it! Could they be accomplice by being a silent spectator watching the death of Gaza? Who would be the winner if causalities surmount enough to label Hamas more of a threat then a protector for innocent civilians, when hardliners would be undesirable and moderates though corrupt and inefficient would again be given reigns, doesn’t they seem to collude and bear the responsibility of ruination of Hamas and in the process of several hundred Palestinians!!

We should also have a look at the Israeli side of equation, are they really innocent as per provoked or they had their own designs in advance? What ‘objectives’ are they striving to achieve before pull back…cont: “the orchestra of Death”

(Counter: “Indian embassy blast’ a ploy against whom”)

This article is an assessment of recent turmoil that is engulfing the subcontinent. Pakistan is stuck in a quagmire of controlling Taliban on its borders while muting imported insurgencies in its provinces. In such conflagration when intelligence is needed the most, its agency the ISI is becoming victim of a ploy, being sabotaged by blames and blemishes, Spiraling domestic turbulence has put Pakistan’s sovereignty at stake. But then we see the Indian embassy blast which took away her military attaché, series of explosions in all of major Indian cities, skirmishes on the Line of Control and surging violence in the valley of Jammu and Kashmir.

In regional context, there has always been a struggle of power and influence between these two adversaries. Deceit, blame game, act of derangement and behind the scene nihilism has always devoured the seemingly placate on-the-scene dialogues and confidence building measures. Recent spade of events on both the sides of border has put observers in an intriguing situation; they are in a fix as to blame who for what, the real players behind the deceptive veil and the distinction between victim and the suspect!

Pakistan is facing the worst crisis in its history, its military has never been stretched this far while operating on domestic front. It has now been seven years since it is fighting the American war on terror; it has made enemies out of its people while operating against them’ on dictates of western confidants. Instead of approval for its sacrifices, insurgencies and violence has been given in wrapped gift. Pakistan’s interior ministry has long been signaling complicity of foreign hand in flaring domestic crisis, which ranges from an all-out revolts, to bomb explosions in cities, particularly the high end military targets. In guise of Talibans, foreign hands are implicated in extending their own agendas. Both Iran and China has acknowledged this conspirational collusion and called for it to halt. Recent Pakistani statements openly declared Afghanistan and India behind this scrimmage.

But then after all the blows, Pakistan is still pressed to clamp its eyes and ears and ‘dilute’ its intelligence apparatus so that this country could be torn smoothly. Patience has run athin at both GHQ and Intelligence secretariat, and a need for response is strongly felt.

It had to be told to intriguers in a different yet clear language that they are not out of harms way either. They won’t have clam borders if ours are set blazed, their cities won’t breathe normal if ours are suffocated, their states won’t be at peace if ours are subverted and their personnel won’t be safe if not mend their ways. Thus there lies high probability that this time Indians are true about latest accusations! That is Pakistani agencies might really be involved in the recent spade of border clashes to Indian embassy incident, from bomb blasts in cities to soaring fray in Kashmir. ‘Warning shots’ to their Indian counterparts that any further footprints of their involvement in subverting country’s internal security would be backfired with an equal even larger blow, making lives in New Delhi thorny. If this is true indeed, it would be first time in recent decade that Pakistan has taken such drastic step to caution Indians of its dipping patience, it also point towards the severity of situation at home front that prompted it to take such measures.

July 8, 2008. A powerful bomb ripped apart the Indian embassy in Afghanistan, killing 42 people and a military attaché. Mr. Karzai rushes to allege Pakistan and its spy agency ISI. India follows the same pitch and calls for agency’s dilution. United States is not impressed and does not see Pakistan’s involvement (though they also came up with ‘credible’ proofs later) Pakistan denounces this horrendous act and conveys its irreproachability.

Indian embassy in Afghanistan has always been a high profile target for Taliban, but amazingly through out these years it remained unscratched. Until a mutual understanding is reached that in order to undermine Pakistan’s security and hamper its military, intelligence apparatus needs to be impeded. So as a first step, come up with some hard proof of it being a bad boy, then on basis of these ‘facts’ push the Pakistani government to clamp her eyes and ears so that more unrest could be exported and insurgencies implanted!

If we start from the fact that Inter Services Intelligence is among the best spy agencies in the world and is unmatched in accomplishing tasks that falls in its purview, even the Indian officials in private meetings gives credit to its efficiency and reach. Is it conceivable that such a mature institution would perform blunders like attacking a foreign embassy and for what reasons? What could such acts possibly yield? Disrespect, embarrassment! Don’t such foul maneuvers serve more of enemy’s agenda! look who got all the points…Karzai’ in light of growing unease in White House for his failures, has got a renewed basis and pretext to divert as much attention form his incapability, Indians’ the ever soft corner and Americans’ a new suspect behind the ever drifting Afghanistan, while Pakistan’ all the blame, blemish and a new list of obligations.

Indian planners are obsessed with the G8 summits which are the converging point of world heavy weights to address global issues. They are in a fix to highlight their ‘plight’ on the hands of terrorists allegedly being harbored by its neighbor. Just look at the sequence…Remember the Ayodhya incident, Massacre of Sikhs in Indian Occupied Kashmir by Pakistan sponsored terrorists just a month before the 32^nd G8 meeting in UK. Series of Mumbai train blasts again by Pakistan sponsored group on the eve of 33^rd G8 meeting in Russia! And now the attack on Indian embassy in Afghanistan just a day before Mr. Singh left for the 34^th G8 summit in Japan!!

Question is’ why would Pakistani agencies or its so-called groups would commit such goofy acts of exposing themselves on crucial events? To attract bad press, I doubt it!

Proofs, well never ask for it. Indians never possess proofs; they are apathetic to any joint investigation for fear of exposing their own dirty hands. Remember the attack on Indian Parliament that drew both countries on brink of war, this happened despite of Pakistan’s offers for investigation even by some neutral party but they were bent on going after their own hidden agendas, and so has been the case with Mumbai and Indian embassy dramas when all out efforts for joint inquiries fell on tin ears. They have always got ‘credible proofs’ but not worth sharing!
