Welcome to Zombieland: 170m walking dead
How can a nation who doesn't even know the meaning of the word sovereignty react? Have you ever seen a corpse respond?
I ask you to define sovereignty. Can you? Can anyone on earth define it? Slaves never learn the meaning of sovereignty. They don’t react to anything as it is their nature to serve their masters. Sovereignty it seems only rests with Europeans or Americans. Pakistanis don’t even deserve to speak this word. The only time they can is to say things like “parliament is a sovereign institution.”
The story starts from a time when a dictator was in Government. He was a good Muslim but took upon himself to attack mosques. He was indeed a good economist but he believed more in setting up an artificial heaven for his state. He traveled here and there in search of fame just as a crow searches for water. Just as the crow does indeed finally quench his thirst, the dictator fulfilled his desire of achieving new heights of fame.
I appreciate how hard the crow worked to quench his thirst but this dictator played a game of blood to earn distinction among the international community. He shredded the meaning of the word “sovereignty” by allowing Americans to violate Pakistani air space and launch attacks. One after another! Killing hundreds, thousands, the massacre is still underway.
I remember General Kayani's statement when he became chief of army staff:
“We warn them not to enter Pakistani airspace; else they will be shot down.”
What a wonderful statement it was. For the first time in years, I felt like a Pakistani. I wanted to shout and tell everyone that I am a Pakistani, and I will lash out at the Americans if they make the mistake of attacking Pakistan again.
Soon my spirit broke after I heard reports of the death of innocents in another drone attack. Once again the cycle started. One after another - killing people by the dozen. Even American newspapers have highlighted the news that innocents are dying more than the terrorists are. I was again on land; again faint and pale.
Then came a twist in the story. They started ground attacks to see if our forces would respond, and there was a slight reaction. Since then, it seems they are continuously trying to see how far they can push us by sending their troops or helicopters over the border.
But how can a nation who doesn't even know the meaning of the word sovereignty react? Have you ever seen a corpse respond? Yes, we won’t react. Even if you kill our troops just like you killed them today.
We won’t react, as a body without a soul can never react.
Our souls are taken; we are nothing more than bodies.
Ah yes! 170 million dead bodies.

A nation full of muslims dosent know that? Then i am afraid we are not muslims at all! ALLAH Teaches us the word "Sovereign" and that it sould only be used for HIM as HE is the only sovereign power. The moment we started fighting for a mere piece of land or so that we could live with dignity in this world and stoped fighting for the cause of ALLAH was the quantum leap of our nations destruction. We lost our dignity, long ago! When the Kashmir issue became an issue for land and not the muslims living there, when the Palestinians were killed and murdered brutely and we just simply ignored them as if they were another species. Where was Pakistan when all these Muslims lost their Brothers & Sisters, Fathers & Mothers, Sons & Daughters... NOT A SINGLE WORD, NOT EVEN A SIGN OF DISTRESS. We were not there for them and so is ALLAH not here for us now. Thats when we lost our Sovereignity! Its may be the dictator or the leaders before him, but have they dropped from another plannet? Arnt they from between us? Dosent this democracy represent the people of pakistan and its thoughts? The ideology of the people of pakistan? The answer is it does! A man once asked a learned person what democracy is, and his reply was
Today we fear that a drone attack will injure our sovereignty more than we mourn the brutal death of our brothers and sisters! And who would know how to shut the begger up when you ruin his family? hit his child infront of him? Everybody knows that. We are not 170 million dead bodies, we are 170 million beggers!
