10 reasons why US should apologize to Pakistan

[BloggerPakistani]

Pakistan’s demand of apology from US occurs after the brutal killings of 24 Pakistani Soldiers in an Attack by Nato and ISAF on a Pakistani Check post .Pakistan is called as Front Line ally in “War Against Terrorism” but US and Nato’s acts have shown that they have no respect for Pakistan.Instead of recognizing its role, and helping Pak Army every year Pakistani soldiers are being killed by Nato , ISAF and US bombings. US has apologize to India for detaining a Bollywood celebrity for 2 hours at airport,but has not apologize still yet to Pakistan for Killing their 24 Soldiers. Here are at least 10 reasons why US owes the Pakistan its deepest apology:

1) Formation of Al-Qaeda : After the Soviet Union invasion in Afghanistan, America supported the Muslim Mujahideen from all over the world to fight against Soviet Soldier giving them millions of dollars and every king of lethal weapon free of cost. Millitary training was provided to fighters but after the war has come to end no action was taken to sent them back to their home countries and they dispersed in Afghanistan and Tribal Areas Pakistan.Osama Bin Laden was very much passionate and dynamic,he gathered such people and formed Al-Qaida by the Grace of US.

2) Salalah Checkpost Killings: The Salala incident, occurred when U.S.-led NATO forces engaged Pakistani security forces at two Pakistani military checkposts along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border on Saturday, 26 November 2011.Two NATO Apache helicopters an AC-130 gunship and two F-15E Eagle fighter jets entered into the Pakistani border area of Salala at 2 a.m. local time, from across the border in Afghanistan and opened fire at two border patrol check-posts, killing up to 24 Pakistani soldiers and wounding 13 others. Pakistan demanded apology from US on the killing of their Soldiers but US has not apologized yet.

3) Supporting Dictatorship : US has supported military Dictators in Pakistan since 1965.Yahya Khan and Pervez Musharraf was the worse of all.US has used them in her own interest and after achieving their goal America removed them off. US is a biggest supporter of Dictatorship all over the world.US has not just Supported Saddam Hussain in Iraq, Gaddafi in Libya and Husni Mubarak in Egypt but has also supported Dictators in Vietnam,Iran,Jordan,Korea,Saudi Arabia,Panama,Mexico,south Africa,Cuba,Chile,Bolivia,Indonesia,Brazil,Nicaragua,Huandorus,Guatemala,Spain,Nigeria,Uganda,Congo,China,Taiwan and so on…..


4) Deadly Drone Attacks. America’s murderous drone campaign is fuelling terror. Since 2004, between 2,464 and 3,145 people are reported to have been killed by US drone attacks in Pakistan, of whom up to 828 were civilians (535 under Obama) and 175 children. People and every political party in Pakistan has protested against the violence of sovereignty and killing of Innocents people including women and children due to drone strikes. But US has not stopped drone attacks in Pakistan, although it has extended it to Yemen At least 15 drone strikes have been launched in Yemen this month, as many as in the whole of the past decade, killing dozens; while in Pakistan, a string of US attacks has been launched against supposed “militant” targets in the past week, incinerating up to 35 people and hitting a mosque and a bakery.

5) Imposing the NRO. Former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has admitted in her book that she managed an agreement between former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf and Former PM Benazir Bhutto named as “National reconciliation Ordinance”, a Notorious Presidential Ordinance to forgive the financial corruption of politicians worth 1031 BN Rs. And to withdraw all political cases of past 20 years except those with murder allegations. NRO helped certain political parties, which came into power after 2008 Elections. although in 2009 Supreme Court of Pakistan has dismissed NRO but US should apologize to Pakistani People for Supporting Corrupts to carry on corruption.

6) Abbotabad Operation. US Navy Seals did an operation in Abbotabad to kill Osama Bin Laden. Although the #1 Terrorist was killed,but US violated Pakistan’s sovereignty. People showed a great reaction over 02 May Operation for which the American President should Apologize to Pakistan.

7) Raymond Davis case: CIA’s operative in Pakistan, Security Contractor Raymond Allen Davis killed 2 Pakistanis on 27 Jan 2011.The US President Barack Obama lied to the world that he had diplomatic immunity but soon they used Shariah Law (Diyyah) (a form of monetary compensation or blood money).By Giving Diyyah to families of those 2 murdered persons US admitted that R.D did no had diplomatic immunity. The matter did not just stopped here, but a car coming to aid Davis killed a third Pakistani man in a “hit and run” while speeding on the wrong side of the road. The family of that 3rd Person is still awaiting Justice…

8) Violating Pakistan’s Soverienity: US is continuously violating Pakistan’s sovereignty by Drone strikes. Abbotabad Operation was also a clear Violation of Pakistan’s soverienity.Many of CIA Operatives in Pakistan have been found doing Suspicious activities. Apart from it, US and Nato Helicopters’ Firing Killed 3 Pakistani soldiers in 2010. US Must apologize for continuous violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty.

9) Dr Aafia Siddiqui : Dr. Aafia siddiqui was illegally arrested by FBI in Karachi in 2003.From that time she was made disappeared for 5 years.In 2008,media reports proved her detention in Afghanistan.A fake case of Murder Attempt was made against her and the Innocent Aafia was convicted and imprisoned for 86 years for killing nobody, On the other hand US has released Raymond Davis, the murderer of 3 Pakisanis… Her Family and whole Pakistan is still demanding US to free Aafia Siddiqui.

10) Threats to Pakistan: Ex- Pakistan Army Chief and ex President Gen (Rtd.) Pervez Musharraf said in an interview that Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage told the Pakistani intelligence chief that the United States would bomb his country back to the Stone Age if it did not join the fight against the Taliban. President Musharraf said it was a “very rude remark.” United States Should Apologize for this extreme threat given to head of the state.As a result of that threat Pakistan joined the so-called “War Against Terrorism” and so far 40,000 Pakistanis including 6000 security forces have been martyred and a loss of about 70 Bn $ has been faced by Pakistani Economy.

Where are Indians now??

 

[GoodBoy]

Are you serious thinking that US would say sorry?

Where are Indians now??

The Indians cannot help but smile at the immaturity of the reasons given for seeking an apology.

Which of the reasons given were imposed on Pak at gunpoint ? Pak is a soveriegn state withing its rights to accept what it is asked to do. Shortsighted policies have led it to where it is.

On the subject of apology, has Pak apologised to BD for the crackdown - something BD has been asking for all along ?

Also, has Pak apologised to the world for harbouring OBL and not ' knowing' he livied within Pak wives and all ?

Pak needs to apply the same logic to itself.

In any case what will an apology solve ?

If you really expect that we would ever apologize for killing Bin Laden you a) Don't know us b) are on something c) want no real compromise.

 

[alimobin memon]

I will not agree on Afia siddiqui case. Please if you are in favor of Afia Siddiqui you must seen her only in media . Truth is far behind

1 reason why America Shouldnt

because they might follow up on Salala check post attack and then the world Media will mock Pakistan saying do you want another apology from USA?

apology makes sense if it was not intended. the the findings of the attack clearly show that it was a premeditated attack and just to rule out any figment of doubt they returned after 40 minutes and attacked again (thats after they acknowledged Pakistani ceasefire requests)

why they did it? I will leave Obama Administration to explain. but demanding a sole world power an apology is really a hopeless cause when there is always a possibility that they can repeat that even more blatantly next time.
they do that regularly to British and other NATo allies on regular bases anyway and never apologise. its like a job hazard when you are near them.

lets stop embarrassing threads like this one.

why not we instead apologise to Al Qaeda for being such horrible hosts by turning away so many of their leaders to Americans and letting the Yanks killing some too?

It takes a big person to admit he's wrong !

If you really expect that we would ever apologize for killing Bin Laden .

no but consider our embarresment and frustration that this multifier eluded us for who knows how long.
someone might have known

but the prime suspects (army, ISI ) lost people from every tier in the fight against the terrorists. officers from lieutenant to generals died, ordinary soldiers died, the ISI operatives died in the field and in attack on their offices let alone the civilians.
someone might have known but that bastard didnt die but all around him died and if Osama was being covered up it wasnt possible for a small group to pull it off and continue for 10+ years with change of governments and leadership.

but that all means zilch... Osama with or without help from Pakistani state, managed to elude his capture until his time came and he died bravely fighting behind his wife.

It takes a big person to admit he's wrong !

they have admitted that it was a mistake and they are sorry. but apologising will be a political suicide.
secondly blame ourselves who told them to wait for 6 months until our political jokers worked on a drawft and by then the US presidential elections were in full swing.

so lets forget about it.

...........

I posted more elsewhere, but it seems that even the "demand" for an apology may be toned down:

Excerpt from: Apology will help improve ties, says key US senator | DAWN.COM

....................

“Pakistan had backed away from its demand for a sharp increase in transit fees as a condition for reopening the routes.

There were also signs that Pakistan was open to something short of a high-level public apology,” the report said.

The truth is I really don't know if Pakistan hid him, I would need to see documents (and, duh, I know even video is easy to fake these days). I personaly think that some Pakistani elements were complicit, but not the state at large. (to Ifran, I forgot to quote)

Good points, but why the public insistence on an apology still?

Its 44 degrees outside.. and people need something to chill their hearts.

Although I doubt that even an actual heartfelt apology, followed by a billion dollars will change the perception of the US overnight.

It is highly likely that the Pakistani leaders are playing more to their domestic audience than anything else, to the detriment of their own international policies.

I agree with you that it will take a long time and more effort to change how USA is perceived in Pakistan.
