Double or quits

KARACHI: This is with reference to Asad Durrani’s article “Double or quits” (August 7). Sailing in two boats and riding two horses at a time is not possible.

“Either you are with us, or you are against us”. Pakistan is paying the cost of being a frontline state in the war on terror. David Cameron’s remarks against Pakistan in India have made him unpopular in Pakistan but the Pakistanis will win his heart and mind by all means necessary and make him realise that Pakistan does not export terrorism.

How can we export terrorism when we are not capable of handling terrorism in our own country without the support of the US? Terrorism is not a commodity that can be exported to a foreign country.

The truth is that we have openly offered terrorists to wreak havoc on Pakistan when we became the frontline state in fighting the US-led war on terror.
