this event was arranged by Laal. an anti-capitalist america music band, who sung songs in kabul/afghanistan against american occupation of afghanistan.
So?
the real deal is if the government acts pro-active and end the proxies of international and domestic groups to restore peaceful environment.
To continue the steps in the civil rights movement: the next step was a push compelled by war-time manpower pressures to allow Negroes to work in industries and military appointments formerly closed to them. Christians in Pakistan are condemned to poop work, right? Perhaps some brave employers could take a step forward?
I'm not sure Pakistan is ready for the second step, but maybe it IS ready for the third. The "secret" terror organization, the KKK, had thoroughly infiltrated local government and law enforcement in the American South. The federal government was willing to prosecute wrongdoers if they could, but how could it under the circumstances?
Civil rights activists took an ingenious route out of the fix:
they infiltrated the KKK and teamed up with Hollywood. No government at all!
The postwar radio program
The Adventures of Superman defeated the KKK!
Every week their spy would communicate with Hollywood scriptwriters a great deal of information about the local branch he'd infiltrated and the writers would incorporate the material into their broadcast scripts. The result? The KKK, knowing they had been penetrated, were utterly
paralyzed! They did not
dare commit violence as they did before because who knew how thoroughly they had been penetrated? And NONE of their police or government contacts knew anything that could help them!
At the same time Superman's anti-KKK agenda grabbed hold of America. When KKK members saw their own kids playing out the radio role of Superman beating up the KKK they must have felt the death knell at the door. And once the KKK was frozen and unable to commit violence, it decayed into a kind of social club and a silly one at that, kind of like Daleks without weapons. KKK membership dropped like a stone and the civil rights movement was free to move forward to large, organized demonstrations and politicians felt safe enough to campaign on reform agendas.
Could this happen in Pakistan? Not the
Superman part, that was a mere convenience, but a team-up between infiltrators and Pakistani liberal media to paralyze militants? What do the Pakistani readers here think?
but as long as america is occupying afghanistan, stability in the region would be a far cry !
Sorry to break this to you, but it's been Pakistan that is the source of instability in the Afghan-Pakistan-Kashmir region. The use of "stateless actors" in the battle against India started at the very birth of Pakistan and was particularly obvious in 1965. Z.A. Bhutto began an armed insurgency in Afghanistan back in the 1970s, around the time he declared (in his role as civilian martial law administrator) Ahmadis to be non-Muslims and unworthy of the same civil rights as other Pakistanis. After the Soviets invaded it was Pakistan which directed the funds meant to support the anti-Soviet battle into Islamist madrassas and nuclear weapons development. And it was Zia's Pakistan which insisted on breaking and destroying the post-Soviet Afghan government to install its own client Islamist regime instead. Under 10+ years of U.S.-;ed occupation and 30+ years of war Afghans know something about how much has been accomplished with the Americans around and how much more could have been done had Pakistan behaved as a good neighbor.
