Roedad Khan: Not a dog barks in protest.

Interesting words from a person who served his masters well. Please note, I wrote his masters. I sincerely wish I had written his country instead. If I am allowed to be impertinent to an elder, I'd ask him to protest to the dogs who brought us to this state of affairs instead of lamenting about dogs that are silent ~~ t

The Pakistan army is a people’s army, in the sense that it belongs to the people of Pakistan. It is the only shield we have against foreign aggression. In the absence of strong political institutions, it is the only glue that is keeping our fragile federation together. Why use it against your own people? Why use force to resolve what is essentially a political problem?

Today all the symptoms which one had ever met within history previous to great changes and revolutions exist in Pakistan. Our army is at war with its own people. With the tacit consent of our rulers, American drones violate our airspace, bomb our villages in the tribal areas, and kill innocent men, women and children. Not a dog barks in protest.
