Drone attacks on Pakistan- 21st century warfare
In Pakistan attacks by unmanned US drones have increased dramatically since Barack Obama came to office. In 2009 it’s believed there were between 45 and 53 drone attacks on militant targets near the border with Afghanistan. So far this year there are reports of around a dozen already. For the US it’s a way to fight the Taliban without major incursion and without risking the loss of American lives but in Pakistan the attacks are hugely unpopular and fueling public anger
Saudi Source Says Obama Willing To Give Afghanistan To Taliban For Quiet
By Michael Eden
Back in May of 2008, I wrote about the danger of appeasement that the election of a liberal Democrat to the presidency posed.
The trend of American casualties had been increasing, without question, but we have NEVER seen the kind of DOUBLING of fatalities (we’re now at 293 American fatalities, versus 155 last year, with more than a month to go) that we are seeing now under Obama’s leadership. That’s because the Taliban and the terrorists now know that we have a dithering, indecisive, vacillating and appeasing weakling in the White House whom they will be able to push around.
And apparently their piling on is paying off big as “the leader of the free world” cringes before them.

Voting for failure in Afghanistan

By forcing a flawed model of democracy on Afghans, the US has made Afghanistan less stable and less democratic
The fiasco of the elections in Afghanistan has been widely lamented. Most laments focus on a single obvious fact: by winning a new term through fraud at the polls, President Hamid Karzai has weakened his legitimacy, endangered the already tepid support he enjoys in Washington DC, and handed the Taliban another piece of evidence, if one is needed, that his regime is corrupt.

REFLECTIONS: Unity of The Muslim Ummah
By Shark
As millions of Muslims travel to Makkah this month to perform Hajj, we congratulate them on their journey, and ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى to bless them with the completion of their obligation. May Allah سبحانه وتعالى shower His سبحانه وتعالى rewards and blessings upon them and return them home safely.
The Ibadat of Hajj is an amazing event where millions of Muslims gather from around the world: wearing the same clothes and exerting their effort to fulfill this pillar of Islam. Contemplating upon the Hajj, our attention is drawn to one of the vital issues of this Ummah. Muslims with different backgrounds, from distant places, speaking different languages and of different colours and cultures; all come together to the same place and at the same time to perform an act of worship out of total obedience and submission to the one and only ilah: Allah سبحانه وتعالى. As all the differences disappear, Hajj illustrates the unity that Islam naturally brings about to Muslims. Islam makes it an obligation upon all Muslims to unite not just in Ibadat, like Hajj and Fasting, but rather it seeks a true and complete unity of the Ummah in all aspects of life. We will, inshAllah in this issue, shed some light on the type of unity that Islam calls for.
Proud and dishonourable generals
By Brian Cloughley
Daily Times
It seems that honesty doesn’t pay, career-wise. The last US commander in Afghanistan, General David McKiernan, asked for 10,000 more troops than seemed suitable for White House policy. He was sacked and replaced by General McChrystal
The famous and eventually infamous American General Douglas MacArthur imagined that he had won the Second World War in the Pacific single-handedly and was much given to public declamation. He loved an audience and it didn’t matter much who the audience was, provided they revered MacArthur, which most Americans did for a very long time.
When he was US Theatre Commander in the Pacific, and thus chief of United Nations troops fighting the war in Korea in the early Fifties, he disobeyed his president, whom he despised.
Land of the Free (To Torture and Imprison Without Trial)
By Brian Coughley
There are some happenings that are surreal to the point of engendering total astonishment, and a recent official US pronouncement concerning human rights violations is a prime example. The statement about Uzbekistan by the State Department that “We are deeply disappointed about the serious deficiencies of due process . . . and about the allegations of torture” would be extremely serious was it not so bizarrely in line with what the entire world is saying about American torture in Guantanamo Bay and other hideous persecution parlors around the world.

Pakistan: trapped in the US game plan
By Shireen M. Mazari
There is a dangerous pattern connecting the events happening in and around Pakistan today. Unless we can see this larger picture, we will be overwhelmed by the fallout and our detractors like the US will have fulfilled their agenda for this nuclear capable country. The roots of this US agenda go back to Musharraf’s hasty embrace of the US “war on terror”. What was not realised at the time was the psychological trauma the US had undergone as a result of 9/11, which had led to the bolstering of the already suspicion-tinted view the US had of the Muslim world. Of course, some pliant Muslim leaders were reluctantly embraced as “allies”, but always on a tight leash, but by and large nationalist Muslim leaders and their nations were something the Americans never felt comfortable with. If these nations were also militarily or economically strong, the US felt even more uncomfortable. In this context, Mahathir’s Malaysia, Revolutionary Iran and nuclear Pakistan certainly stood out as irritants in one way or another. So when 9/11 happened, even though it was Saudi citizens who were responsible for the actions, Pakistan was brought centre-stage and the US saw this as the opportunity to cut the country down to size and finally gain control of its nuclear assets.
Don’t Visit Us – Liberate Us
By Asif Salahuddin
Umar Bin Al-Khattab (ra) in the year 636 was the first to do so. Under his command as Khaleefah, the armies of Islam, after their continued expansion outside the Arabian Peninsula, had reached the gates of Jerusalem (Al Quds) and had the city surrounded. Partly because of the city’s immense importance – it is home to Masjid-Al-Aqsa (the third holiest mosque in Islam) and had been the first Qibla for the Muslims – Umar (ra) himself journeyed to the land and oversaw the liberation of this sacred city.
