 [Dawn] Pakistain's High Commissioner to Britannia Wajid Shamsul Hasan said that Pakistain would be left with no option but to support Iran if Israel attacks it.Looking forward to takin' on dem Jooze... In an interview to a British newspaper The Sun published Wednesday, Hasan expressed his concerns over the United States' "Drone Wars" that have taken the lives of hundreds of innocent civilians in Pakistain. "We know the damage -- destroyed schools, communities, hospitals. They are civilians -- children, women, families. Our losses are enormous," the newspaper quoted him as saying. "I think time is running out until the Pakistain government can take a stand. They will have to at some stage take punitive actions to stop them. They have got means to take such actions to defend their own frontier and territories," Hasan further added. Hasan urged British Prime Minister  David Cameron... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite,which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideologicalhe lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger,but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ... to convince the US that the drone attacks were counter-productive, making the American "the most hated people in the minds of the people in Pakistain." Talking about Iran, he said: "We wouldn't like to be seen as part of Israel's campaign against any country. If Israel attacks Iran, it will have an impact on Pakistain as well." "We will have to safeguard our own interests. We also have a Shia population in Pakistain who will not take it lying down." Posted by: Fred 2012-02-09 |
