Historys Greatest Event:
Sunday, May 29, 2011: Americans are ready to leave Afghanistan. The OBL raid proves it. They needed a victory to hide the retreat. it is being called the last hoorah before the withdrawal. There are concerns in India and some parts of the world about the US exit from Afghanistan. The Bharatis have been asking US-led forces not to leave so early. In the Hindu Ksuh and Central Asia there is celebration.
The US has failed in the application of force. They face colossal practical problems on the ground. There is a sense that they will pull out. President Barack Obama will make this announcement as early as next month.
The Americans needed an excuse. General Hamid Gul, the former head of the ISI, calls the US withdrawal the greatest event in history. In an interview with Tehelka magzine, he says all the imperialists have been defeated on Afghan soil. Cracks are already showing in the NATO alliance. The US regional strategy is woven around countering China. For Europe, China is not an enemy or a threat. Therefore, India stands on the wrong side of history, backing the wrong horses.
Wat does General Hamid Gul mean when he says the is the greatest event in history. An analogy to Vietnam is apt. When the US was bombing Vietnam with agent orange and fighting the Vietcong, Cambodia was feeling the pain. The American invasion gave rise to a radical group called the Khmer Rouge. Today Pakistan as the country bordering the war faces a similar radicalization. The US withdrawal from Southeast Asia, and its retreat from Vietnam changed Southeast Asia. When the US left that radicalization subsided and It allowed the countries of that part of the world to come together in an economic union called ASEAN.
Central Asia is going through a similar awakening. With the imminent withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan West Asia is once again stirring with the same emotions that allowed Taimur and Zaheeruddin Babur to head towards the Khyber and Lahore. Zaheeruding Babur, the founder of the Mughal dynasty wanted to unite the people of the regionand he and his progeny did that for several centuries (1526-1857).
As the American forces withdraw from Afghanistan, the radicalism that they have caused will slowly subside. Then the ECO, the equivalent of the ASEN will begin asserting itselfthis is the first step towards the unity of the area.
The withdrawal of the US forces will begin in July. History will record it as coinciding with the rise of China as a world power. Already Beijing has begun to build roads, bridges, and rila links to the Arabian Sea. This is a seminal event of world history.
Thats why it is being called the greatest event in history.
