[quote]Dear Dr. Khan,

I sincerely feel that being an overseas Pakistani you are doing all that is in your capacity to convey your protest on the current events in Pakistan. However, reading the initial few posts, I thought faust786's response was very much in order. Although your suggestion of being careful in our protest, and hence not giving the oppurtunity to the western powers to have the idea of invading us, is a very rational one. However, one can say that, it would have much more rational for us, muslims, if we had not to ask for a separate country in 1940. There is significant material written on it which suggested that economically we would have been much better off if we lived in a combined India. But did we choose the seemingly rational option then? No we did not. Here is a simple reason for that. People, generally, give more weightage, their values, rights, freedom more than the immediate benefits that are offered by the 'rational' option. Usually a visionary leader makes them take this decision.

We in Pakistan are living in very difficult times, our leaders have chosen to serve the superpowers instead of us. People like Aitzaz Ahsan, a respectable lawer & politician and Imran Khan (a national hero and a great contributor towards the society) are arrested. Peaceful protesters are brutally beaten. The Question is, should we stop breathing if somebody has a problem with it? Because I feel, raising voice now is as natural an act as that of breathing. And not allowing it, is as brutal as telling a person to stop breathing.[/quote]
