History not always written by the victor

Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State, told a Press Conference in Indian Capital of New Delhi on Tuesday,'India will play its role in Afghanistan. What role, so far the United States has played in landlocked state of Afghanistan often known as 'Graveyard of Empires. Creating uncertainty, rapid growth of terrorism-latest example of two important assassinations of President Karzais brother Ahmad Wali Karzai, Ulasyar and Jan Muhammad, and an unending series of attacks on US-led NATO alliance inside Afghanistan. None has so far claimed that attackers went to far and remote regions of Afghanistan from North Waziristan. Irony is Washington always 'tells Islamabad and 'listens to New Delhi. Nothing is wrong with the United States when Pakistan has stooges all around who tell their masters how to push and press Islamabad to opt for undesirable and unreasonable dictates from Washington. Hussain Haqqani is an example-current Pakistans Ambassador who has allegedly leaked vital information against the Armed Forces of Pakistan to hostile US Press. He leaves no opportunity unutilised to demonise Pakistans military and myopic government led by Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has taken no action. A non-starter and corruption-ridden government could do what else to further Pakistans supreme national interest. Hussain Haqqani being Pakistans Ambassador joined a Zionist organisation Denial Pipes. Who will bring him to justice, President Asif Ali Zardari or Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani. If the leadership continues to wear borrowed robes of the infamous National Reconciliation Ordinance(NRO), Hillary Clinton and Indian S.M.Krishna will always beat the drums of 'Pakistan do more. 'Islamabad should combat terrorism, she stated. What kind of role Hillary Clinton is contemplating for India when the US itself is not sure of its own formidable role in Afghanistan. I agree with the Amir of Jamaat-i-Islami Munnawar Hassan: 'The US is begging for peace from Taliban and security of its personnel how can it allot a role to India. Visionary Lt. General (Retd) Hamid Gul voiced in clear terms: 'India is on the wrong side of history. It lacks the very knowledge of Afghan history no matter after opening Consulates in Herat, Kandahar, Mazar-e-Sharif, India will not be able to influence people of Afghanistan as it has to an extent influenced crippled leadership in Afghanistan. In my previous column 'Peace in Pieces, I had mentioned that the US should only deal with key players for a comprehensive and sustainable peace in Afghanistan. These players are Pakistan, Iran, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan itself. Killings of Ahmad Wali Karzai, Ulasyar and Jan Muhammad are reflections of fragility of Afghanistans security apparatus backed by RAM and the RAW. In the Central Asian region RAW will only be a sparrow. It must not nurture the desire to play a role of an Eagle. The RAW is spending billion plus dollars in its dirty games in Afghanistan, Pakistans neighbouring regions of Afghanistan and northern parts of a state which remained unconquerable. Ahmad Wali Karzai, important official in Afghan security Ulasyar and Jan Muhammads assassinations proved a slap on RAW-RAM face. Human Intelligence of Taliban, as it appears, plays superior role. In 2001 when the United States attacked Afghanistan its used overwhelming air power. Nothing short of bombarding state of Afghanistan with an atom bomb, it tested all the available lethal weapons in its inventory to finish Taliban government and to instal a puppet government of President Hamid Karzai. Initially, the US defence planners used Tomahawk cruise missiles which were quite expensive but proved to by 'rubble over rubble. Later years, the US-led NATO alliance captured Kandahar through dropping paratroopers, Mazar-e-Sharif and took over an empty capital of Kabul. The writer reported 2nd Afghan war for the Newsweek.
