Pakistan's veteran politician and the Secretary General of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf on Tuesday charged the United States was a killer not liberator of Iraqi people. During an interview with 'IRNA' Meraj Mohammad Khan said that the history would never forgive the US-led allies for their heinous war crimes against the defenseless people of Iraq. He ridiculed US President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair's claim that they had unleashed attack to liberate Iraqis from President Saddam Hussein's rule. "The invaders are resorting to relentless slaughter of innocent men, women, children and the elderly. They are killers. Iraqis have risen against them. Liberators are welcomed but US-led allies have been hated," he pointed out. Meraj Khan noted that the invaders had met a miserable failure in their conspiracy to divide the people in Iraq on racial and religious basis. "The Sunni and Shia Muslims were fighting shoulder-to-shoulder to defend their motherland," he said. On the dead bodies of Iraqi Muslims, he contended, the US and its allies were now talking about reconstruction contracts and devising plan to restore `democracy' in Iraq. The PTI secretary general said democracy and peace could not be restored on the basis of sowing seeds of hatred and massacre of people.
Doesn't seem like democracy and peace were there to be restored, except among our allies, the Kurds. I think democracy and peace have got to be grown from seedlings. |
