Imran Khan Tells The Truth About The War on Terrorism

Imran Khan "is a Pakistani politician and former Pakistani cricketer, playing international cricket for two decades in the late twentieth century." (Source: Wikipedia).

Imran Khan calls the war on terror a "war of terror." I don't know his views about 9/11, but he's right about the fact that a political solution is required in Pakistan and Afghanistan, not a military one.

Fighting terror with terror is a profitable lost cause. Governments are fighting a fraudulent war against terrorism, which is a tactic. You can't win a war against a tactic. The whole point of the war on terror is to keep it going as long as possible so that governments can wield despotic power over society. Also, corporations and banks are making huge war profits and drug profits in this war.

Former U.S. ambassador Edward Peck makes the same point about terrorism as Khan and others make. So it is good to see an alternative international consensus emerging about the criminal war of terror.

Pakistan needs leaders like Imran Khan to stop the war of terror and rebuild their country. If he doesn't get assassinated then Pakistan will have a bright future.
