Is Pakistan not in Stone Age?

(syed musarrat ali, Karachi)

First picture was a Tweet of Motivation ‏@MOTlVATl0N 1hour earlier which was developing mindset of kids for September 11, 2001 attacks and the second picture is self explanatory. Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, in an interview with CBS News 60 Minutes on September 21, 2006, alleged that Armitage called an Inter-Services Intelligence general immediately after the September 11, 2001 attacks and threatened to "bomb the country [Pakistan] back to the STONE AGE" unless they supported the U.S.-led fight against Islamic terrorism. Presently, Musharraf has refused to provide details, commenting that he is unable to provide details due to restrictions by the publisher (Simon & Schuster) of his book In the Line of Fire: A Memoir. President Bush on the other hand has mentioned that he only became aware of these comments as late as September 2006, when he read them in the newspapers. Armitage confirmed he had held a conversation with the Pakistani general to whom Musharraf had sourced the comments, but stated he had not used a threat of military action couched in such terms, as he was not authorized to do so.

As of today where Pakistan stands? It is not only media propaganda that almost all the basic amenities of life are being dissipated rapidly but the Government's spokes persons are delivering confessional statements in Print and Electronic Media. Question arises whether Pervez Musharraf denied to act upon the warning by Armitage or Pakistan's Democratic Governments after Pervez Musharraf are following the agenda of US Policies? Answer is Point to Ponder.
