All because of drones -- D Asghar
2013-11-30
[Pak Daily Times] Once upon a time, there was a country ravaged by war all because of evil Soviet invaders. Then, by sheer faith and belief, its neighbouring country rescued it by sending pious and upright students laced with their unfettered determination and religious resolve. These valiant students drove the evil Soviets out and established a historical Islamic government in that country. The rest of the world was in awe of the remarkable achievements of these nascent yet scholarly administrators who set exemplary standards of governance and jurisprudence. Despite envy and rebuke from the rest of the world, there were three righteous countries that recognised their exemplary rule and provided them with much needed moral, logistical and, at times, financial support. With their brotherly assistance, the nation was able to rise to such unprecedented levels of progress and development that most of the western world went into a state of shock and undeniable envy.

Being students themselves in the not too distant past, these scholars made their country the fountainhead of knowledge and learning. So much so that most brotherly nations sent their students, thirsty for knowledge, to this country. These remarkable administrators gave their brethren free education in almost every sphere of knowledge known to mankind. The stadiums were filled with contestants who were competing for trivia in Math, Sciences, Arts, Geography, and Technology etc -- you get the picture. Peace and tranquility reigned supreme in the mountainous and beautiful country.

At one time, statutes of the Buddha were impeding the new wing for the centre of learning for women, so those statutes were peacefully brought down to dust. After all, something made of dust had to be mingled with the dust. The women were joyous as every street corner had a school dedicated specifically towards female education. The citizens were delighted because of the revival of their superior education system and the economy was booming. The soil that once grew poppy contained all crops, crude oil and natural resources flowing to the extent that this nation was perhaps feeding the entire continent with its abundant resources. The oil rich nations were borrowing and buying from this country. The righteousness and its glory was so self evident that the entire world started rethinking about abandoning their flawed systems and their systems of belief.
