THE US MEDIA IS AT IT AGAIN UNFAIRLY TARGETING PAKISTAN. THIS IS MY LETTER TO THE EDITOR OF NEWSWEEK WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE MEMBERS.
To, October 29, 2007
The Editor,
Your article on Pakistan reeks of political complicity, sprinkled with innuendoes, hyperbole and inaccurate and unsubstantiated drivel. You took one incident and blew it out of proportion. The catholic terrorists of the I.R.A regularly bomb London. Mortality and morbidity in the USA from pollutants homicide and stress would make any other nation a paradise by comparison and yet you have the gall to label Pakistan as The most dangerous place on earth.
In your article you lament about AK-47 rifles and a $750 sniper rifle in a pakistani gunshop while in your own backyard rednecks hunt ducks and rabbits with assault rifles and .50 cal sniper rifles. The inner city youth glorify drive by shootings and COP KILLERS in rap songs.
In your article you deliberately and systematically perpetuate the myth that fundamentalist jihadis could seize Pakistans nuclear assets and that every one of them is a potential WERNER VON BRAUN with the ability and technical expertise to launch that arsenal and start a nuclear war. In doing so you you make the Pakistani military and its generals incompetent and impotent.
I do concede that your target audience the American people are not very knowledgeable about the rest of the planet and do take the word of television, Hollywood and the print media as gospel truth.
Perhaps your readers may be genuinely relieved if I were to illuminate that Pakistans military with traditions older than the US and a proven track record of HONOUR,FIDELITY and VALOUR ranks amongst the worlds finest,disciplined and competent fighting forces. It would be a folly to compare Pakistans generals ( The majority of whom can be generals in the US army) with banana republic bandito generalissimo types that your readers are more familiar with.
Last time I checked it was the US that tested its weapons of mass destructions on a non Caucasian island people. Moreover certain nations that openly tout their FINAL OPTION are very much against the ISLAMIC BOMB and they do possess the money and resources to stir animosity against Pakistan.
Finally I think most people would feel safer in Pakistan than in a country where USAF jets fly over major cities with live nuclear warheads and where a REACTOR INCIDENT could perhaps kill millions.
