While the Western media often dubbed Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan as a “Disgraced” scientist  we Pakistani’s considered him our national hero .However the recent statement given by Abdul Qadeer Khan to  Geo Channel has a strong potetial to damage Pakistan’s image globally. I  do understand his enmity with Musharraf but i fail to understand why he has taken it to a level which can harm our  country ,Pakistan. His recent accusations that Pakistan Army and its intelligence agencies were involved in the proliferation of nuclear material to North Korea in exchange for 200 SA 15 missiles is the worst I expected from him. Moreover, anti Musharraf Geo Tv telecasted this interview without having any regard for national interest. It won’t  surprise me if I am told that Geo was paid by CIA for conducting this interview and making this information public which will disgrace Pakistan and its military forces. I think it is time that we give a serious thought to the activities of our media and make it accountable for telecasting anti state information.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) — The disgraced architect of Pakistan’s nuclear program said Friday that it provided centrifuges to North Korea in a 2000 shipment supervised by the army under President Pervez Musharraf.

Abdul Qadeer Khan, who remains a national hero despite confessing four years ago to heading a clandestine proliferation network, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the uranium enrichment equipment was sent from Pakistan in a North Korean plane that was loaded under the supervision of Pakistani security officials. His claims contradict his 2004 confession that he was solely responsible for spreading nuclear technology to Iran, North Korea and Libya — and Pakistan’s repeated denials its army or government knew about Khan’s nuclear proliferation activities. Khan said the army had “complete knowledge” of the shipment of used P-1 centrifuges to North Korea and that it must have been sent with the consent of Musharraf, the then-army chief who took power in a 1999 coup.

“It was a North Korean plane, and the army had complete knowledge about it and the equipment,” Khan said. “It must have gone with his (Musharraf’s) consent.” Khan’s allegations, reported earlier Friday by the Japanese news agency, Kyodo, are his most controversial yet and could prove deeply embarrassing for both the army and Musharraf, a key ally in the U.S.-led war on terror.

Humanity rarely exists at this time and place in the world. Almost everyday there is bloodshed in some part of the world or the other. Somewhere between all this lies a state with over six decade of chaotic history ‘Palestine’. The bulldozer rampage incident added to the list of madness last week. The incident was conveniently recorded as the camera crew was present on the scene. This had disturbed me but not as much as what I read today :

Israel may demolish Palestinian homes: Bulldozer rampage

JERUSALEM, July 3: Israeli authorities are considering demolishing the home of a Palestinian man who went on a bulldozer rampage in Jerusalem on Wednesday, killing three people before he was shot dead.
A previous military inquiry found that the practice was ineffectual, but much of the political establishment has come out in favor of destroying the house of any Jerusalem Palestinian who conducts attacks in Israel.

I don’t support the man who did this !. Whatever reasons he might have had , those people were not meant to suffer it at his cost. I condemn the killing of Israeli citizens may they be Jew or Christian .I am not a staunch Hamas supporter , but why are they tagged terrorist if they impose the same ideologies ?.

Where are people rachel corrie ( an american activist) , who stood in front a bulldozer meant to demolish a Palestinian home, and was killed in the incident.
Again I ask myself and I ask you , is this the solution to the problem ?. Should authorities, and specially those who have been imposing violence for decades , be allowed to do this ?. The bitter facts of our lives remain every time a man seeks the wrong path , in his way he harms many.
