ISLAMABAD, Jan 25: Senator Prof Khurshid Ahmad has said President Bush's speech on the inauguration of his second term deserves deep analysis as it carried a serious message for the world in general and the Muslim countries in particular.
Mr Khurshid, in a statement issued here on Tuesday, said a sermon on liberty coming from a president like Mr Bush, who occupied and destroyed Afghanistan and Iraq and supported Israel, was tantamount to launching a new global war and aggression against sovereign states.
The senator said President Bush's reference to liberty 27 times was in fact a threat to enforce his vision of liberty on the Muslim world and other countries.
"It is imperative to take note of the two serious indicators from western media and leadership, one to attack Iran in the name of nuclear non-proliferation and the other of fanning the flames of Shia and Sunni conflict in Iraq and the Middle East," he added.
Warning the Muslim world to rise above their personal and vested interests, the senator asked its leadership to evolve a common strategy based on collective self-reliance to protect the Ummah from aggressive designs of the only super power, the US.
