Politically Infected Generals
General (R) Flathead
There
are all types of viruses. Viruses that kill rapidly and viruses that
sit in living cells forever and continue harming them. We all have
heard about cancer, AIDS, SARS etc. etc.
Pakistan Army has many generals who have been
infected by political virus. They caught this infection in Pakistan
Army's infancy days and since then they have constantly infected
many generals.
This disease fully infected Pakistan Army's
heart--- the group of core commanders in 1970. Eventually, Quaid-e-Azam's
Pakistan died because of this serious infection.
However, it rose out of its ashes after its death
in 1971. The people of remainder of Pakistan wanted to continue the
legacy of their beloved leader Quaid-e-Azam. They kept Pakistan's
flag flying regardless of Pakistan? virtual death in 1971.
Unfortunately, the generals infected with
political virus did not die in 1971. They remained hidden in
Pakistan's intestine. The moment Pakistan started breathing second
time, they ganged up on its heart again eventually infecting each
core commander. The people of Pakistan call them crores commanders.
Before death of Quaid-e-Azam's Pakistan in 1971,
these politically infected generals sat at the helm of affairs in
Pakistan. They continued counting and eating all the beans until
Pakistan exhausted and collapsed.
Once again, all these infected generals are
sitting at the helm of affairs in Pakistan. The most infected
generals---the crores commanders---have been discussing Pakistan's
political situation exactly like they used to discuss before the
collapse of Quaid-e-Azam's Pakistan.
I vividly remember their meetings. The more the
political situation deteriorated the more meetings they held. Once
again, the frequency of their meetings is growing. Before they met
every three months. Then they started meeting every month. Now, they
meet every two weeks.
Are they sensing danger? Perhaps, yes, because
their activities have become more rapid.
Once, these viruses sense danger---not to them
but to the host body. they move fast. They start eating faster to
survive in tough times ahead.
During the process they infect as many civilians
as possible. Those infected civilians? work as supply line.
The most infected general, general Musharraf is
realigning his infected forces. Since he has already infected all
crores commanders and many civilians, he is hoping to rot the rest
of the frail body of Pakistan.
However, after bitten by and eaten by so many
politically infected generals, Pakistanis have grown a sense of
survival. They really know how to defend themselves against these
politically infected generals and militarily infected civilians.
A silent war is going on between the people of
Pakistan and these politically infected generals under the
apparently calm waters of Pakistan.
This time around, the people of Pakistan really
want to destroy politically infected generals. Le us pray for their
strength and victory.
