Pakistan: mass killers go scot-free, some come to West

What's the difference...when US politicians get away with the mass murder of a million innocent people in Iraq? Thousands of innocent they kill in Afghanistan, and pressuring Pak to do the same to their people? Sure they go to the US...because there you can get away with murdering foreigners... It happened in Vietnam...they pardoned Lt. Cally at Mai Lai... nothing new here...They even made John McCain a Senator for killing kids in a school in Vietnam.  American society is the most dangerous country in the world....not Pakistan.

In the arena genocide, Pakistan is the number one champion. It has even defeated the Nazi germany record. Nazi Germany took 6 years to kill six million Jews. Pakistan took less than 9 months to kill 3 million Bengalies. It also murdered in 24 hours 3500 women and children in Baluchistan, it also killed approxmately 55000 Baluch in Baluchistan in 1972-1973. Since 2002 to present day Pakistan has forced 300,000 Baluch out of their home, for 7 years these people are living in open air. Recently there was flood in Baluchistan, Pakistani authority arrested anyone trying to help the flood victims.

I ask are these Pakistani are human? Even wild animals do not do that.

No wonder the Taliban are fighting them.

Qazi,

Baloch are in state of war with Pakistan. They have every right to use all means to defend their lives under such circumstances.

Here, you are implying that the Baloch are equally responsible what is happening in Balochistan, which is a rather strange argument.

The Baloch are dispossesed and repressed party in this conflict. The weaker party is not bound by moral claims you made, because the burden of responsibility goes straight to the state - not the other way round.

Gone are the days when Baloch were decieved on the name Koran. Today, they know how to counter state led attacks.

BalochLashkari brother,

You are underscoring what I just said.  Clearly, a dispossessed people can not be expected to be an equal party in an unequal conflict.  My argument is that the senseless killing of barbers, bakers and labourers can hardly be demonstrated to the world as acts of self-defence.  Doing this (and then claiming responsibility too) is tantamount to shooting oneself in the foot.  The world is generally fine with imperialistic forces occupying territories but reacts very sharply to acts related to ethnic cleansing.  You will agree that Balochistan needs world sympathy rather than abhorrence.  In this vein, I merely state that senseless barbaric acts against civilians are not going to win any friends, but will provide moral high ground to occupation forces.

National liberation can not be won by killing innocent barbers. Those who kill innocent people in Baluchistan, or Sindh, must be exposed and condemned. Those who conduct terrorist acts must not be pardoned, no matter how noble and just the cause.

Resistance to Pakistani soldiers and high officials who are looting Baluchistan is altogether a different story.

Ahmar,

Thanks for raising a sane voice, so rare these days.  You have raised another interesting issue here i.e., of corrupt officials.  On one hand are the FC etc., who are skinning poor people.  Admittedly, the Baloch are virtually non-existent in the FC ranks.  When one comes to corruption among civil officials, bureaucrats, technocrats etc., I am ashamed to say that the ultra corrupt are mostly locals.  These are the people who make sub-standard infrastructure that leads to accidents, injuries and deaths.  They make schools and hospitals from sand that become a health hazard rather than a facility.  They make big money at the cost of development of our motherland and buy property in Canada and Australia.  If, by any chance, they are nabbed, they invoke the nationalist card.  As an Irish writer once said, Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.  I have not seen any vision about how an independent Balochistan will control corruption.
