Our chief ally US is determined to send military trainers to train our valiant soldiers. These trainers would reportedly operate in Balochistan where a low intensity insurgency is afoot. What is it that the US trainers will impart to our troops that they lack at present one does not know. It is perhaps the skill to kill our own people with ruthless efficiency. It is time we realized that we neither need US dollars nor their trainers. It is time our rulers realised that US is closing in on our nuclear assets. The Prime Minister for one has shown some anxiety on this score. We must stop fighting the US war on terror, which is nothing but a hoax. The US is pouring tens of billions of dollars in Afghanistan for the sake of its own global agenda. Why must we act as its proxy at the cost of our own national interests? The impression ordinary citizens have about the rulers is that they will disappear from the scene once their turn is over because they do not have any stakes in the country. We continue to hear outpourings of various US think tanks that our nuclear assets are insecure. Let us not get carried away by fulminations of these think tanks. Some of these are nothing more than a man on a desk with a computer churning out vituperative propaganda. We must understand that US is run by vested interests, primarily by the Jewish lobby. Hence, we must only expect evil from the wicked Empire. -MIRZA TUFTAN BAIG, Lahore, via e-mail, May 18.
