Who is responsible?

At the end of the day, ultimately, the responsibility of carnage in Karachi falls squarely on military despot`s shoulders. He has absolute control over every aspect of our national life from a sweeper on the street to the supreme court justice. And he has been manipulating both alike. But when it comes to our safety and security, the fact remains that this despot cannot go to toilet in the morning without first asking Washington. Only if he finds time from attacking his own people with the blunt force of a regular army - an act that usually Washington accuses all despots of before raiding their countries. Then we have a Khusra (read faggot) of a prime minister who cannot find enough time from singing love serenades to his subordinate slash boss, the president. God what a mess we are in. No wonder Shias in Karachi have taken to the streets - an indication of absolute distrust in the state machinery.

What the need of the day is that we should organize public protests to show shia-sunni solidarity and to show the total disgust for the violence that is being unleashed on the two, especially shias. Despot cannot do it, for he has no support among masses. He cannot allow his cronies either because it might snowball into something else. Then the responsibility ultimately falls on the shoulders on the ulema and mullahs but alas only if they were as brave as those of Iraq`s. Had they not got scared like little girls when the first time of test came as there were attempts on Musharaf`s life, they would have some clout among the people. It is disgusting…..the whole cadre of culprits…and then there is Big Satan, the sore loser…..
