Pak Exports Unlimited

 Pakistan is mulling over giving MFN status to India, favouring India with Pakistan’s most popular export - the terrorists?It’s a country that exports jehad worldwide, hosts conclaves featuring the ranking zealots - Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar, Sultan Salahuddin, Masood Azhar, name ‘em, they got ‘em. And it is a CEOs paradise. Ask Dawood Ibrahim or the Memon brothers, happily ensconced in Karachi. Its exports are as ubiquitous as Coke or McDonalds. Bombings in Bali, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, London; they’ve all got Pakistani fingerprints. In fact, given the sheer number of terror networks that have flourished courtesy Islamabad’s benevolence, I understand that they’re soon to be listed in the MisFortune 500. And they do keep abreast of the latest corporate trends. If, say, a certain brand, like the Lashkar-e-Toiba doesn’t work due to unfair trade restrictions imposed on its exports, it can always morph into another entity. Catchwords like Hizb, Ansar, Lashkar, Mujahideen, can be thrown into the mix for the creation of the new brand. Now that’s something WorldCom would be envious of. Or even their inventive accounting practices. Money from the IMF, the World Bank, other donors may be flowing into the coffers of the ISI for its pet projects, but the Pakistan Government can always prove otherwise, talk about how those funds are actually being utilized for infrastructure development. These financial Paki wiz kids could give major accounting and consulting firms a run for their money. And, in the process, it rakes in billions of dollars, channeled through hawala routes. And the sheer brilliance of their business acumen even gets the United States to invest in the development of the nation’s economy. In other words, development of the terrorist machinery. What other transnational could boast of such remarkable achievements? It’s like Sun getting R&D funding from Microsoft. Not to mention their skills in attracting investors. Billions of dollars annually, from within and without the country. Isn’t it time that these organizations were formally registered on the Karachi Stock Exchange? Each fresh wave of extremist massacres could give these scrips a healthy boost. The Indian Government deserves congratulations for showing its good neighborliness. Stifling our neighbor’s principal exports is hardly a way of keeping the SAARC spirit alive. The Indian Government, probably, decided to commence talks with Pakistan because they were grieving over the fate of the thousands of unemployed jehadi youth, many more apprenticing in the trade in madrassas. It’s a show of South Asian solidarity. India was wrong, it kept saying that talks could only resume once infiltration and cross-border terrorism stopped. Obviously, now our Government wants no such thing. They’ll gladly enter into dialogue even as Pakistan’s exports mount. Yeah, regardless of who Manmohan Singh and his colleagues jaw with, be it Mian Musharraf or Jamali, the bottomline is that we’ve open the floodgates for Pakistani exports. Infiltration zindabad!
