The kinetic route taken by the “clash of civilizations” theoretical mantra, began with Oded Yinon, to Richard Perle, to Bernard Lewis, to Huntington, and on to the Project for the New American Century. What followed was the utter destruction of Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, and Yemen. What the Neocons seem to be ruing is the lost chance of destroying Iran.

Unless good governance comes to Pakistan, and massive theft is stopped, Pakistan will suffer economic implosion and become a thing of the past. The generals need to pay Pakistan back, or they should be elbowed out of the Generals’ colonies, give back their land in Yazman Mandi, their commercial and housing plots in various DHAs, come down to earth, and move back to ICHRA, MOZANG, or wherever the hell they started their dizzying climb from. This country is too f–king precious to be lost to theft by a few rotten ass-kissing thugs hawking a sham democracy, hiding behind this hackneyed slogan, and denuding this country of all that is decent. They must explain Nandipur, the Qatar gas deal, the Solar Park deal, and the pussy deal with Ayan Ali. How is it possible that billions are taken out of this country every day without the complicity of the government? Ravel Sharif’s personal credibility is shielding the army from reproach. But this shield is wearing thin. The army is the only institution left standing. It therefore has no option left but to stand for national interest.
