What are u thinking?
Nothing!
Are u sure? U were in deep thoughts. Anything gone wrong.
No!
Ok! But u look worried.
No!
Just watching on TV the Big Master defending his decision to invade Iraq and urging the world community to turn its attention to fighting the war on terrorism and humanitarian concerns.
Ya, it looks odd when people talk of humanity after carpet-bombing in Afghanistan and attacking civil spots by warplanes in Iraq.
My dear, he maintained that US-led overthrow of Saddam Hussein delivered the people from an "out-lawed dictator".
Meaning ?
That they do accept dictators, but they do not accept out-lawed dictators.
And what do they mean by out-lawed.?
Come on.
Don't bother much. Pakistan is their ally in war against terrorism.
True.
Over 150,000 army soldiers and paramilitary troops are pitched against militants in North-western tribal areas bordering with Afghanistan where US is facing tough time at the hands of Taliban.
True!
And the President Musharraf is discussing with his US counterpart hitherto results of efforts undertaken in war against terror.
True!
The newspaper of 10th September showed our commitment to war against terrorism.
Meaning?
The two major headlines were there. At least 57 people were reported killed when US led forces spearheaded overnight assault on Iraq's northern trouble spot of Tall Afar and Fallujah.
And what was the other one?
Sixty people were killed when air force planes F-7 jets began operation at around 6 am and dropped bombs on terrorist training camp in Bad Awaz Garang in Kaikhel area, South Waziristan.
My dear, it's a matter of principle.
True!
The Prime Minister said as a sovereign country Pakistan could not remain silent to acts of terrorism and militancy on its soil. It had, therefore, assigned the Pakistan Army to act against all such elements.
So u were thinking in international terms and getting worried.
No my dear, I was thinking in terms of the rule of law.
What?
R u referring to the statement of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who opened the 191-nation gathering with a warning that the "Rule of Lsaw is at risk"?
No!
I was referring to the laywer who set himself ablaze in open court in protest to delayed justice.
Ya, it was terribly sad!
True!
It was terribly sad but indeed clearly exposed the judicial system we r living with.
Ya, when a laywer loses hope, how can u expect a common man to keep his cool and expects legal system to deliver justice in ordinary course.
Ha!
The law and order is also getting his due share from the system.
Meaning?
The car theft, dacoities and murder have become the order of the day, a routine matter for the law enforcing agencies.
True!
Are u referring to the murder of a youth by car snatchers?
No am referring to the de facto Home Minister Raja Basharat's car that has been stolen from his well-guarded residence.
So the rule of law is at risk no doubt at domestic level also.
