PAKISTAN SYNDROME?

PAKISTAN HAS ROCKETED TO THE FOREGROUND AS WE HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT IT HAS HAD A CENTRAL ROLE IN INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION BUT ALSO IS THE BASE AREA FOR MANY OF AL QAEDA'S ELDERS AND OTHER ASSETS. PAKISTAN HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS AS DOES ITS TRADITIONAL ADVERSARY INDIA.

FULL SCALE CIVIL WAR

A lot has happened since my last post in November. What appeared to be an inevitable civil war has certainly broken out and I am reluctant to blame this on the United States, at least in the short run. Pakistan is at war with itself and the ruling elites have been and remain somewhat independent of the requirements of the Anglo-American world order, such as it is. Pakistani elites are in a life and death struggle with the so-called Taliban. 

The devastation has already been quite significant and it is obvious why such a war was avoided as long as possible, to precisely avoid such a terrible toll to the people of Pakistan.


Obviously, the Pakistani army is likely to be able to defeat the Taliban in any conventional war.  Whether or not a guerilla war will develop despite government victory in conventional warfare is yet to be seen.

About Me

My photo
JUST A BLOGGER WHO HOPES THAT VARIOUS EDUCATIONAL METHODS AND TECHNIQUES CAN BE UTILIZED TO HELP LIBERATE SOCIETY. SOME BLOGS ARE MORE THEORETICAL AND OTHERS ARE MORE FOCUSED ON WHAT I PERCEIVE TO BE CURRENT EVENTS. MANY TIMES A BLOG CONTAINS THE SEEDS OF MANY POSSIBLE LONGER ARTICLES AND ANYONE IS WELCOME TO TAKE THESE IDEAS TO TOWN! CURRENTLY I HAVE SOME BLOGS CLUSTERING AROUND ISRAEL AND PALESTINE, ANOTHER CLUSTER IS ABOUT OBAMA AND ANOTHER IS ABOUT THE CAPITALIST MELTDOWN. ANOTHER CLUSTER IS ABOUT ECOCATASTROPHE. ALL OF THIS IS BESIDE THE MAIN FOCUS OF THESE BLOGS WHICH IS LIBERATION FRAMEWORKS OF WHICH THERE ARE QUITE A FEW. FEMINISMS, SOCIALISMS, ANARCHISMS, COMMUNISMS,WORKING CLASS RULE AND OTHER SWELL IDEAS ARE JUST A FEW OF THE FOCI. NOTHING IN MY BLOGS SHOULD BE INTERPRETED AS SUPPORT FOR ANY ILLEGAL OR MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE ACTIVITY IN ANY NATION AT ANY TIME. FOR EXAMPLE I DO NOT ENCOURAGE THE CONTINUANCE OF IMPERIALISM AND CAPITALIST EXPLOITATION, VERY NAUGHTY THINGS INDEED!
