The Dilemma of Pakistan : Abyss of Terrorism and Pakistan's Twofold Will

According to the News Reports , David Cameron has said that Pakistan will have to answer so many questions about Osama's presence in Abbottabad ; a military city and only 30 kilometers away from the Capital of Pakistan. Last year David Cameron accused Pakistan for looking both ways. And it is this accusation that this article intends to answer.

Pakistani President Asif  Zardari has denied that Pakistan is harboring terrorists on its land and he also reiterated Pakistan's will to fight against terrorism. Mentioning the fact that 30000 Pakistanis have died in the hands of terrorists since 2001 including 5000 soldiers, President Asif Ali Zardari tried to tell the world about what Pakistan has contributed in the war of terror.

There is no doubt that Pakistan will have to answer so many questions, almost everyone is raising such questions, but what David Cameron has asked in strategic terms , should first be asked in social terms . Rather than asking this question strategically , this question should be raised in a social manner.

The social manner of asking this question means to ask why Pakistani society is in a dilemma? Why Pakistani people are looking both ways? Why there are two mind sets in Pakistan , moving in different directions, one towards an abyss and the other out of the abyss. The first  question that should be asked is about the abyss itself? What then is this abyss, from which Pakistan is trying to come out and is also drawn towards it?

This( borrowing Friedrich Nietzsche's words) then is Pakistani society's twofold will: it is facing an abyss and it wants to come out of it and simultaneously does not want to lose its ground-losing ground means to fall into the abyss.For if in an effort to come out of an abyss, one does not look towards the abyss to hold his ground then one can slip and fall in it.

The abyss , the pit is of anarchy, terrorism, and whatever chaotic one can know in the world; this abyss is of an absolute chaos. So, those who want to push Pakistan into the abyss do not know that Pakistan will surely disappear into the abyss, but abyss itself will not disappear; pushing Pakistan back into the abyss will do nothing but increase the number of victims of those devoured by the abyss. This will only increase the terror and gravitational force of this abyss; the more it devours , the more it will attract, like a black hole , this abyss is ready to devour more and more.

This abyss was created to get rid of Soviet Union , and now it is ready to devour those who created it; Pakistan is to become the first victim of it. David Cameron and those who think that Pakistan is an enemy of the civilized world , for it is looking both ways, don't understand that Pakistan is facing the abyss of terror, and it is natural for Pakistan to see towards it, for it does not want to lose its ground,  and also outwards, because it wants to come out of it, so it is necessary for Pakistan to look both ways.

This twofold will , the giddiness of heart is something characteristic not only of Pakistani institutions, state, Army, but also of each and every individual living in Pakistan. That they are facing this abyss and they have to look both ways; they have to look downwards, to hold their ground, or they slip into it, and upwards , outwards , where they want to go .

And no one is throwing in a rope long enough to pull Pakistan out of it. rather than there are some people standing outside , throwing stones on Pakistan to make Pakistan a victim of this pit . They are afraid of looking into this abyss, and they think , it is because of Pakistan, since Pakistan is in it, they have to look at the abyss. And they resolve to throw the victim in and go away , to avoid looking into it ;but they don't know the gravitation force of this abyss; it attracts(it was made seductive by its creators). The only way to deal with this pit is that one should learn the art of coming out of it without losing one's ground, notwithstanding its attraction and seduction.

And Pakistan , it is the hope of all of us will learn and consequently invent the art of coming out of this abyss of terror and madness, and it is also hoped that no one will again dig such pits for others.

Pakistan's dilemma is a natural consequence of its own policies and what the West asked them to do during the last Afghan war. They sent Pakistan to Madrassah and trained Pakistan for terrorism, violence and anger. Pakistan wanted to go to the school like all others, but the Western fathers chose Madrassah for Pakistan. They converted Pakistan into a militant , though the half of this country remained outside this influence and remained sober and peaceful. Now the peaceful half is threatened by the militant half .Not as one is threatened by a stranger , an outsider; one is threatened by the person sitting next, by the person one himself is!

In case the militant half wins , and there remains no civilization in Pakistan, then it will be a loss for the whole world . No Pakistan means another uncivilized and unmanaged territory, bordering India and China, threatening their existence. India should be very concerned about it , and may be they are. For they know that the abyss is just in their neighborhood .

Prime Minister David Cameroon does not know what his predecessor , honorable Margarette Thatcher has done during her regime; how considerate she was towards this terror machinery and with what perfection she had created and nurtured this monstrous institution of terror. She did it to such a perfection that now it has become almost impossible to undo it. Even James Bond had helped her in achieving these aims-remember the movie Living daylights, and answer, have you banned it sir, as a pro jihad movie?.

Pakistan has to answer this question , that why Osama was there , right in front of their academy, but one cannot hold this as a reason to destroy Pakistan.
