Abstract
The fact that global terrorism emanates from Pakistan is well established. This article uses the visible evidence of sustained, pervasive complicity and control by state entities to debunk the notion that “non-state actors” outside the reach of the Pakistani state control global terrorism.
The role of the Pakistani state is to protect and profit from the terrorist enterprise, rather than to confront it. Foreign aid has gone mostly to benefit the personal interests of the Army leadership and to strengthen the state in shielding terrorist enterprise against external action.
The cognitive dissonance in the reports of Pakistan Army battle deaths at the Afghan frontier is easily resolved when one considers the Punjabi-dominated Pakistan government and Army’s history and policy of repressing the rights and aspirations of Sindh, Balochistan, Pakhtoonistan and Balwaristan. The concentricity of “Al Qaeda” and the Pakistani state is clear. To eradicate terrorism and bring about peace, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan must be broken into at least five independent provinces, too intent on protecting themselves from each other to be exporting terrorism. The removal of the central government would also remove the
protection that the global terrorist enterprise enjoys under Pakistani sovereignty. Options short of total war are explored to achieve the objective of bringing about lasting peace.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
