The real war is how to destroy the resolution of the Islamists.Seen in that context US Drone Attacks are a miserable failure.
ÂÂ
There is nothing that any Drone technology can do against Drone 786 fuelled by the inatngible  fuel of faith.
ÂÂ
Though US mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself it is at a loss to discover the breach of security.
ÂÂ
The breach sir is in your very American arrogance !
ÂÂ
Borrow a leaf from the Holy Bible ! HA HA HA !
ÂÂ
The race is not to the swift , nor the battle to the Strong !
ÂÂ
This is the Drone that Edward Gibbon had warned about in his monumental Decline and Fall of Roman Empire more than 200 years ago,
ÂÂ
Though nothing is inevitable in history the USA needs to realise that its much propagated CIA is not infallible.

British Scotch Officer Major Brown served at North Waziristan in 1940s and his tomb stone has the word DATTA KHEL , inscribed in memory of his affection and respect for the Wazirs and Zadrans
ÂÂ
A leading American policy maker had asked me in 2002 how the Muslims would react to the war on terror.
ÂÂ
My reply was in my article published in daily NATION on 22 June 2002.This was summer solstice ; the shortest night in the year.The US Dilemma would last for 100 Winter solstices !

Article I wrote for Daily Nation Lahore 21 June 2002.The Nation published it again in AUGUST 2002 .Also published on www.orbat.com the article drew some very outraged responses from US readers:---

WHAT USA SEEKS TO DESTROY
A.H Amin
The three cardinal attributes of today's geopolitics are
"globalisation", "non ideological international themes" and "emphasis on
economics" rather than "ideological conflict" as the key theme in
international relations. It is another thing that below the surface
"ideology remains a key issue", "the desire to enslave smaller or weaker
states by larger or stronger states" remains the key issue and
"globalisation" is but another name of capitalism practiced at a global
scale.
The so called unipolar system also has limitations and is being
repeatedly challenged, if not conventionally, then unconventionally as
proved by events of 9/11. The famous philosopher Toffler may have
re-defined power but human nature remains the same as it was 2,500 years
ago. US Think Tanks and so called experts may advance subtle theses but
the underlying conflict is the same i.e. a West which adopted Eastern
Christianity and refashioned it as per Barbarian ideals versus an East
with a different mindset and a different set of values.
The international capitalist order was challenged by French Revolution
and the Communist Revolution in Russia but the power of the
imperialistic exploiters could not be broken. Nonetheless without USSR
military aid the Arabs could not have survived Israeli hegemonism. This
is an irrefutable historical reality.
Long ago the West's present dilemma was summed up by one of its greatest
historian Gibbon in the following words "Yet this apparent security
should not tempt us to forget that new enemies and unknown dangers may
possibly arise from some obscure people, scarcely visible in the map of
the world". In the same paragraph Gibbon cited the example of the Arabs
who had "languished in poverty and contempt" till the advent of Islam
when in Gibbon's words Islam" breathed into those same bodies the soul
of enthusiasm".
When modern US thinkers with links with US State decision making and
analytical bodies state with confidence that "ideology is no longer
fashionable" and that "international terrorism" is the key issue who are
they fooling. If this line of thinking is to be followed, whenever any
White Man or a Jewish man dies it is terrorism while whenever any non
White or Muslim dies this is casualty inflicted in sheer self defence in
the war against terrorism. A stooge is a man who was protected by USSR
and a King or Emir or a president protected by US Forces or US aid is a
perfect patriot.
Take the "Firebombing of Tokyo" on the fateful night of 9/10 March 1945.
On that night the US Airforce in the proud words of an American writer
"conducted the most destructive air raid in history". Sixteen square
miles of Tokyo were destroyed and some 83,793 Japanese civilian were
killed mostly by third degree burns while some 40,918 were injured. A US
General proudly exclaimed "It made a lot of sense to kill skilled
workers". Compare this with US position on 9/11. If for a moment we
accept that 9/11 was a great outrage in which some 3,000 were killed not
all of them skilled, what was Tokyo Raid of March 1945?
There is a subtle motivation here. An ulterior geopolitical agenda. The
West still fears ideology which it abandoned after 1945 in favour of
shameless materialism. It fears men who cannot be bought, who have no
fear for the tomorrow, who cannot be stopped by a NATO or the wide
Atlantic or wider Pacific. USSR may have been a more synthetic state but
the men motivated to die without motivated by the CIA pumped dollar via
Silent Soldiers is a more dangerous specie. Enters the Asian and African
Collaborator Regimes. Liberal Presidents, subtle Emirs, Egalitarian
Kings, all mustered like Sepoy Jahan Khan in the First World War to
fight the War against Terror. The Soviets were more naïve if less
morally defective than the American decision makers. The Americans seek
to accomplish enslavement through more sophisticated methods. Thus one
of their intellectuals states in an article that "unlike centuries past,
when war was the great arbiter, today the most interesting type of power
do not come out of the barrel of the gun".
Today this man says "there is a much bigger pay off in getting others to
want what you want". And there is no shortage of collaborators,
ambitious men who usurped power whether it was after the downfall of
Ottoman Empire with British or French money or in Egypt or Pakistan or
in Indonesia.
Somewhere deep inside the US decision makers are at a loss to admit as
to how with a 30 Billion USD intelligence budget, 13 Federal
Organisations dealing with Intelligence and some 30,000 eavesdroppers
employed by USA's National Security Agency was the Al Qaeda able to
strike. Compare 30 Billion USD per year spent since two decades with may
be 4 Billion USD lost in 9/11. If the East or the Islamic World has any
edge over the West it is in willingness to sacrifice rather than
materialism and selfishness.
What the West and particularly the USA fears is not nuclear weapons but
men motivated by ideology. Men who cannot be bought like the so many
Emirs, Kings and Military Presidents from Morocco till Pakistan.
The world has not changed from Gibbons' times. The New Barbarians as the
USA sees the Muslim radicals are more dangerous because they cannot be
bought. Because they have operational talent and strategic acumen.
Because they do not beg like Sadat for a Camp David but fight with their
limbs rather than Stingers. What the US seeks is destruction of ideology
which as per one theme presently floated in the so called prestigious
National Defence College at Islamabad is no longer fashionable.
This is the Clash of Civilisation and will continue till this world
exists or till the USA discovers a new planet where human beings can
survive and to which the Americans will migrate after all the mineral
resources of this world are exhausted and we are left to die without
water or fuel.
If this is so and if low intensity war is the only way in which the
conventionally weaker forces can defeat the conventionally stronger
forces then so be it. If extremism in thought or ideology is out of
fashion and out of favour with USA and its camp followers, so be it. If
we are in any case condemned to be sub humans in a world order dominated
by the G-7 and have no other recourse but to fight with bomb, dagger or
suicide explosive pack then so be it.
Jala kay Mashal-i-Jaan, Hum Junoon-Sifaat Chalay. Jo Ghar ko aag lagaay,

Khost suicide bomber's wife 'proud' of husband's mission
Defne Bayrak will be invited to the city's anti-terror department to answer questions, unnamed police officials told the agency.
Bayrak's husband Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal Al Balawi, said to have been a double agent, blew himself up at a US military base in Khost near the Pakistani border on Dec 30, the deadliest attack against the CIA since 1983.
The couple married in 2001 in Istanbul, where Balawi had been studying medicine since 1995, and moved to Jordan the following year after Balawi graduated, Anatolia said.
Neither of them had criminal record in Turkey, it added.
Bayrak, based in Istanbul with her two daughters since October, said on Wednesday she did not believe her husband worked for any intelligence agency, describing him as "a man who would not even leave the house."
She said that Balawi went to Pakistan to pursue medical studies and told his family he was planning to join them in Turkey.
She said on Thursday her husband regarded the United States as an enemy and she was proud of his mission.
"I am proud of my husband. He has carried out a very important mission in such a war," Bayrak told reporters.
"I think it's impossible that he was an American agent. He was too adversary to work for America. He only could have used America and Jordan to reach his goals."
Bayrak, who holds a degree in journalism, has written and translated books and penned articles for Islamic publications. One of her books entitled "Osama bin Laden: Che Guevara of the East".
Bayrak said she believed her husband was in Afghanistan to pursue his medical studies and she was shocked at news of his death.
Wearing a black chador, she said she learned in a phone call from one of her husband's friends in Pakistan that he had blown himself up at a US base in Afghanistan on Dec 30.
The friend also told her he would send her husband's will and last letter, she said.
"Our last phone call took place about four to six weeks ago and we made contact through the Internet 10 days ago. He told me he would come back to Turkey and would even apply for Turkish citizenship. He would continue his medical studies here," she said.
Meanwhile, Al Qaeda's Afghan wing on Thursday claimed responsibility for the Khost suicide bombing, saying it was revenge for the deaths of their leaders. Earlier, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan also claimed responsibility for the attack.
"He's a very strong character. If he did it, he must have done it on his own will. Nobody can make him do things," Bayrak said.
Balawi had associated with Islamists in the past, but US and Jordanian spy agencies believed he had been successfully 'de-radicalised'.
"I am not the one to decide whether he is a martyr or not. I pray to Allah to accept his martyrdom," Bayrak said. â€â€Agencies
