| This appears in the papers the same day as the news of the latest church attack — against unarmed civilians who're running an eye hospital. The only way to define terrorism so that it doesn't include the Kashmir Killer Korps and the Paleostinians is to define it out of existence... Pakistan has declared the ongoing struggle in Indian held Kashmir and Palestine against foreign occupation cannot be dubbed as terrorism and reiterated before the United Nations General Assembly that the country remains committed to success of the international war against terrorism. Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Munir Akram, addressing a special session of the General Assembly on the situation in the Middle East, said Pakistan is sincerely committed to the success of the international war against terrorism. He, however, differentiated the struggle for rights and terrorism, saying struggles for rights have nothing to do with terrorism. "Y'see, as long as you're struggling for rights, you can blow up women, children, puppies, kittens, baby ducks, even yourself, and it's not terrorism, no matter how many people you kill. And you get to define the rights. Anything else — not letting God-fearing, pious Muslims have their way, f'instance — now that's terrorism." |
