Pakistan's New Strategy

In the light of the worsening situation at Pakistan's tribal areas and the repeated violation of the international border of Pakistan by the US, it is imperative that Pakistan evolve a strategy that would stop the gung-ho American crusader cowboys at their tracks. American policy of attacking Pakistan's tribal areas are a clear violation of the international law and Pakistan (Army) has repeatedly reiterated that this violation would no longer go unanswered. There is a new wave of antipathy against the US growing in Pakistan in the light of the latest developments. The Pakistani government is also in a tight spot to respond and support the statements coming from the Pakistani military. In the light of the above mentioned scenario, Pakistan should evolve a strategy that demands the following from the US,

a. Pakistan should tell the US that it is in clear violation of the international law by violating Pakistan's sovereignty and US soldiers would be tried in international court if they are guilty of killing innocent Pakistani civilians in the tribal agencies of Pakistan whose defense is the responsibility of the Pakistan Army.

b. In case the above mentioned policy fails, Pakistan should stop all fuel supplies and support to the coalition forces as a second step and let the US beg its enemies like Iran and Russia for transport of fuel supplies through their territories (better luck USA).

c. If all else fails Pakistan should make a comprehensive defense strategy that should involve strategic positioning of Pakistan's missiles to hit the US Aircraft carriers and other ships in the Arabian sea as a last resort. US can ill afford to start another theater of war and that should be made perfectly clear to the United States of Warica.

US has already annoyed a great deal of countries on the international stage like Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Syria, Thailand, Sudan and a host of other countries. I hope common sense prevails and Pakistan and Pakistani Army can truly guarantee the safety and security of Pakistan and its civilians. Long Live Pakistan, our heart and soul.
