Open Letters to the Leaders of Pakistan:

I saw the photos, all 161 of them,that the AP news has on the conflicts in Pakistan, that are shown on the Yahoo News today. I also read the comments there with the photos and I would like to ask for more information to be presented to the world. Here are the things that I noticed about the photos:

-the eight wooden coffins stretched out in a row and the mourners there.I grieve for you all.

-the rocket launchers of the "para-military"

-the red flowers on the table and the golden peacocks on the Conference Table before Pakistan Foreign Minister Quereshi, and India's Foreign Minister Mukherjee as they discussed nuclear disarmament on the Afghan_Pakistan border. I love red flowers and peacocks and both caught my eye.

- The women voting there. Where were the men voting?

-The men dressed in white and the women dressed head to toe except eyes, in black 'burqas' that must be swelteringly  hot in that climate.

-the bunker built on top of a mosque. To me that signaled a sense of desperation.

-the bonfires burning drugs confiscated and the Police smashing imported liquor bottles.YEA for those--get rid of those demonic substances, so people could think!

-the handshake about the 7 billion USD gas pipeline to run from Iran to India and Pakistan. The way it was written I thought the 7 billionin USD meant that was the currency measured in, not the US is backing it, but it sounds like a win-win for all three of those nations to me.

-the five different fighting factions there: the  'Khyber tribal', the 'para-military',the Taliban, and the 'militants" and the "government forces'. I looked at and read the comments from the AP several times on some of the photos trying to understand better who is fighting whom and for what exactly?

-the words, 'lal masjid" and wondered how they would translate to English. I do not speak Arabic or Farsi, or read it, or write it. I know many cultures are multilingual but I am sad to say that I am not multilingual. When you speak to reporters if you know the English translation of that phrase would you tell them?

-that the comments said that the Taliban Commander had ceased peace talks because of "continued use of force against tribemen." and I was sad to read that.

-the torn pages of your Holy Book the Quran that was photographed by AP news.

-the man at the sign changing the prices for kerosene, diesel and gasoline, raising them as they are also raised in the US, but noting that your government subsidized kerosene for lamps for the poor and I think that is great.

-the photo that showed a US military man approaching a cave with the comments that the US 101st Airborne, and 506th Infantry, 2nd Battalion, 4th Platoon are there fighting in the war in Pakistan.

Now here are the questions I have and the conclusions I arrived at after studying those photos and words:

Pakistan is in a so-called civil war though there is nothing civilized about war. A better word would be domestic war, on your turf.

The enemies I see there are:

-socialism, because it tries to supplant GOD as GOD and tries to be all things to all people instead of doing a few things very well.

-drugs seem to be a scourge and a source of addiction, pain and misery for many there.

-illegal exportation of drugs has caused your nation to come under attack from the nations that do not want their countries importing that illegal product! [and rightfully so, in my opinion].

-your nation is a "house divided" as JESUS said in Matthew 12:25-26( see below) and the many factions are trying to gain dominance and control. It seems it is the same battle in many nations around the world.

The good people there seem to be :

-those fighting evil to stop the killing of innocents.

-those who are trying to shore up your nation.

-those who honor GOD.

-those who speak clearly without tricks or treachery or deceit to the people.

-the ones smashing the liquor and burning the drug piles.

--the Group of Eight that pledged billions to help disarm the borders as I understood that.

Here are my questions:

1) what does the phrase "lal masjid" mean?

2) What precisely are you fighting for? Liberty, control, right to vote, different government? what?

3) Who are the good guys?

4) Who is the enemy ? I think the enemy is the enemy of GOD that is the devil, who tries to divide and conquer any nation that respects the Name of GOD.

5) For what reason was the former Prime Minister Sharif barred from running from re-election?

6) Why do you, if you do, view the US Military as being your enemy when the photo shows that particular US military man as risking his life to "clear a cave' of weaponry and attackers on citizens? I realize photos are not always what they seem at times, and that they could be planned or staged but not always. The AP news is supposed to be reputable. In that case, why do you think the US is bad if we, as a nation, are spending billions to help your nation secure liberty and safety?

I am going to sum this up with the words of JESUS I mentioned above.It is written, "And JESUS knew their thoughts and said unto them, 'every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand. And if satan cast out satan, he is divided against himself, how shall then his kingdom stand? " Matthew 12: 25-26. In other words, satan does not divide himself but attempts to divide those who believe there is A GOD and only one GOD, and he does that with an assortment of "weapons' and most of them are spiritual, and attacks on the mind, because if he captures that part of your nation the real hand to hand combat will follow and the death and destruction with grenades, rockets, mortar, bombs, etc. The devil is the real enemy. Teach the truth of GOD who wrote in stone the words, 'thou shalt not kill " along with HIS other Commandments. You could read them on this website of mine if you don't know them:

I am not your enemy, or any body'e enemy but the enemy of the devil. It is my goal in life to defeat the devil in every way in every nation at every encounter with him. I believe the word of GOD defeats the devil because JESUS who is THE MESSIAH as foretold in the Scriptures says HE OVERCOMES the devil .Revelations 12:11 is written,"they overcame him [the great dragon,the devil, satan] by the blood of THE LAMB and by the word of their testimony;". All Scripture from King James Holy Bible.
