Senate slates US ‘designs’ against Muslim countries
By Our Staff Reporter
ISLAMABAD, Aug 9: Lawmakers in the Senate on Wednesday criticised the ugly role of the United States as sole world power in backing Israel to massacre the people of Lebanon and to destroy peace in the whole region.
Speaking on a point of order Prof Khurshid Ahmed of the MMA condemned the US for claiming itself to be the champion of human rights, democracy and nuclear non-proliferation after it dropped nuclear and hydrogen bombs on Japan and then transferred nuclear technology to Britain and France when the former Soviet Union attained it within three years after World War II.
Then the US continuously attempted to block any efforts by Muslim countries, including Pakistan, and now Iran to seek nuclear civil technology for civil purposes while it was supplying weapons of mass destruction to Israel to kill thousands of people in the Middle East.
The US, he recollected, spared “white Germany” despite Hitler committing unprecedented war crimes and selected Hiroshima for dropping uranium bombs on August 6 and Nagasaki for dropping hydrogen-laden bombs to kill 200,000 people and injuring 0.8 to 1 million people on Aug 9.
Since World War II the US tried its best to keep nuclear technology away from others while continuing to make its own nuclear power more sophisticated and lethal as it exploded 70-times more powerful bombs and used daisy cutters in Afghanistan.
Prof Ahmed said that world peace could never be established as long as the US was in control of everything.
