The war has begun...

My fellow country men, the time for the test of all Pakistanis has arrived. In the bright sunlight of the day the enemy has attacked us on all fronts and all our major towns and cities are under threat. Our brave forces have been dispatched on all fronts to counter this menace. Step forward and fight side by side with your armed forces please! we will not rest until the evil has been eradicated !  Its a battle for survival
 i have made a few changes to what was said many many years ago and on purpose, though that was quite a speech still sends a wave of energy when you listen to that. Back then the enemy was clearly defined, visible and external. People trusted the armed forces  and the two stood together side by side, fought together and that resulted in a power packed punch that knocked out the enemy. But that was once upon a time, a time long long ago. Now the enemy... well frankly whose the enemy? media has its view, the army has its views, every political party has its view and oh yes we the people have a view but well that doesn't matter as we have given up the power of thinking and decision making is the domain of few people to whom we have surrendered our logic!
 The army and people that once stood shoulder to shoulder are in a relationship that is commonly described on facebook as its complicated. Every province blames the other and with the creation of new provinces on the horizon we may have more fingers to point and multiple new directions to point them in. Right now it seems that with fear stopping us from rising up against oppression, no unity, lack of a common goal, corruption and our silence we are our own worst enemies. This war isn't gonna be fought in the battlefields and you don't need conventional weapons to win. The battle is within each one of us fighting against our own silence, hypocrisy, fear and simple lack of faith, But i don't have to tell you that you know it, i'm just reminding you that the war has begun, we all are soldiers and we all our at stake. The time to act is now, it is fight for survival. A short and swift victory is not possible its gonna be a hard toil but once you are done with that this time you will truly rejoice in the spoils of victory!!
