None answerable?

Who gave the West right to label us terrorists? They should call themselves terrorists for having imposed this war on us which has killed innocent Pakistanis in droves. A Pakistani soldier killed in the war on terror costs $900 while an American soldier costs $9000. Do we have the words 'sacrificial lambs embossed on our foreheads? Why are our people free to kill? Hazrat Umer (RA) had said, If one innocent man is killed in my realm, I would be answerable to Allah on the Day of Judgment. How many innocent men of ours have gone to work and got killed, how many children of ours orphaned, women widowed but nobody among our rulers thinks of the Day of Judgment? -AFFAN BIN SAQIB, Lahore, April 30.
