Women must work to temper U.S. `cowboy` response to terror crisis, says group

By STEPHEN THORNE

OTTAWA (CP) - Canadian women should focus on tempering America`s ``cowboy-inspired`` response to the terrorist attacks in the U.S. and push for justice through the courts, a major women`s group said Thursday.

The Canadian Women`s March Committee also defended the right of Sunera Thobani, a well-known feminist, to make a controversial link between the attacks and U.S. foreign policy. Thobani, former head of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, told a conference on Tuesday that Canadian women should not be coerced into supporting a U.S. foreign policy that is ``soaked in blood.``

The March Committee emphasized that women have more pressing issues to address than blame.

``War is not the answer to the atrocious crime against humanity committed on Sept. 11, 2001,`` said the group, which says it represents a majority of women`s organizations across Canada.

NAC vice-president Denise Andrea Campbell said Thursday that Thobani broadened discussion on the issue and put some context to the attacks.

``We really support her right - and, actually, all Canadians` right - to ask: why is this happening?`` Campbell told a news conference.

``But on behalf of women across the country . . . we are certainly more interested in looking at the immediate issue at hand, which is: how do we respond to what has happened?``

The committee opposes what it calls U.S. President George W. Bush`s ``vengeful and war-mongering response`` to the attacks. It says the world should follow United Nations guidelines and seek justice in courts of law.

``We expect our governments to lead through compassion, justice and respect for the dignity of all people,`` said the committee declaration.

There is no justification for a full-scale military response to the attacks under UN-defined grounds of self-defence, said Andree Cote, director of law reform at the National Association of Women and the Law.

``It`s so very dangerous in times like this to have unilateral, cowboy-inspired actions that will create possibly a lot of deaths of innocent civilians and international unrest,`` said Cote.

Thobani, a women`s studies professor at University of British Columbia, called the United States ``the most dangerous and the most powerful global force unleashing horrific levels of violence`` in the world today.

Her remarks were condemned by politicians and others as outrageous.

Cote said the reaction to Thobani`s statements has been more troubling than the statements themselves.

``I think this is one of the reasons that we`re opposing war,`` said Cote.

``It creates a climate of intolerance; it creates a climate where basic civil liberties can be violated, where basic freedom of expression is put in jeopardy. We`re very worried by this type of thing.``

She said media and other responses to Thobani`s speech harkened back to the 1950s era of U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy, who conducted a witchhunt for phantom communists, destroying many innocent lives in the process.

``We want to have a democratic discussion on how to solve this horrible crisis,`` said Cote.

Campbell described Canada`s response so far as an encouraging reinforcement of the country`s traditional values of humanitarianism and peace.

shankar #301: Thanks for the kind words.

As for my submitting articles, I have been helping out a close friend in a story he is writing. Chowk has kindly published the first three chapters. The fourth chapter was submitted a while back, but hasn`t shown up yet. That story will get into the depths of all these issues, including jehadis, in a much more detailed and entertaining manner, than anything I can write.

Let`s hope Chowk publishes his fourth chapter. Although, I think it seems like that may not happen.

Khushwant Singh is perhaps my favorite Indian writer. He was born in the village of Hadali. Which is in in heart of Pakistan Punjab`s rural belt, on the Mianwali-Sargodha road. I was stationed close to there, and used to pass by Khushwant`s birthplace weekly. Had I known it back then, I would have stopped by to pay homage. I am sure he could write in much more detail than me, about Pakistan`s feudal problems, since he was born in the feudal area.

Khushwant Singh, along with Ashwariya Rai, Daler Menhdi, Azim Premji and General Sam Mackenshaw (is he dead?) are the five Indians I would love to meet. For different reasons of course; I would like to go on a date with Azim Premji, discuss computers with Khushwant, literature with Daler Mehndi, talk military strategy with Ashwariya, and hear Mackenshaw sing (I may have gotten the interests mixed up, here :))

Interestingly Khushwant Singh and I have nearly identical solution for Indo-Pakistan`s Kashmir problem: i.e. POK goes to Pakistan, Ladakh and Jammu go to India, the Valley of Kashmir becomes independent within some sort of autonomous framwork between India and Pakistan. Interestingly, Mahatma Gandhi had a similar solution. Due to my Muzzafarabad domicile in POK, according to the Indian Constitution, I am actually an Indian. I have always wondered, why all us sane Indians like Khushwant, Gandhi, and myself keep coming up with identical solutions for the Kashmir problem :-)

Pakistan inherited a much more backwards society than India at partition. The area that became Pakistan was the boondocks of the Sub-Continent. Most Indians do not realize this; nor do many Pakistanis, infact. The only educated class of Pakistanis was the one that migrated from India. It indeed goes to the credit of Pakistanis that they brought themselves to the same level as India, and even passed it economically. within fifteen years (although India is now even or back ahead of Pakistan, economically).

Who will bell the cat? God knows. Anyone who gets into the position of belling the cat, realizes that joining the cat family is much more lucrative, and marries into it. A good example is Zia-ul-Haq`s son and Ayub Khans` son joining the power 4 nexus through alliance with feudal parties and marraiges, respectively.

Musharraf is doing his best, and his son doesn`t seem to be interested in joining the power 4 nexus. But Musharraf can only do so much, specially now that everyone from the religious right to the feudals are ganging up on him, since they know he is going to break the nexus as well as eliminate the religious extreme right (even traditional arch enemies hamidm and Urstruly are forming a coalition). And I don`t know how he is going to legitimize himself, without power 4 nexus taking all kinds of shots at him.

But hopefully now people understand why election after election, under the current system, is never going to solve Pakistan`s problems. It is just going to strengthen the feudals, and the power 4 nexus. That is why I oppose the system of democracy that currently exists in Pakistan. And that is why the feudals are this system`s biggest supporters. If fits their needs, perfectly.

I myself support Imran Khan`s party, and hope to be there during the elections, supporting one of his candidates. Unfortunately, Imran Khan`s party is completely out of the power 4 nexus, and hence cannot do much.

If the religious relatively moderate right like Qazi Hussein Ahmad`s Jamaat-i-Islami come into power, I am quite sure they will break the nexus completely. The nexus is sh//t scared of them, and their street power and fearlessness. The JI plans to completely alter the military, and tear apart the feudals. Their membership actually consists of lower middle class Pakistanis (non power 4 nexus members). However, since they are not part of the nexus in Pakistan, they never win elections, in rural Pakistan. And urban Pakistanis do not vote for them because urbanites in Pakistan dislike maulvis. Even more dangerous is the fact, that all religious right parties have so much baggage of their own, and such hypocritical leadership, and have such extremist views on many issues, that even though they will break the nexus, they may create even bigger problems for Pakistan.

The one party that has (had) the potential of breaking the nexus is (was) MQM of Karachi. It is the only powerful middle-class, educated (leadership consists of a lot of medical doctors and small business owners), liberal, non-power 4 nexus party in Pakistan. However, its leadership has lost its ways completely, and has turned the party into its own occupying force of urban Sindh. If MQM can get good leadership, and lose its paronoia that all non-Muhajirs are looking to destroy Muhajirs, it can spread to other urban centers of Pakistan, like Lahore. I would certainly become a big supporter. It could then unite urban Pakistan under one flag. At that point urban lower, middle and upper-middle class Pakistanis, as one force, could take out the powerful feudals. Currently, however urban Pakistan is divided amongst six or so different political parties (MQM, PML, PPP, ANP, Jammat-i-Islami, Tehrik-e-Insaaf, etc.).

Let`s see how much Musharraf can do, before the power 4 nexus takes him out; which will happen sooner or later. Luckily, unlike Zia`s son and Ayub Khan`s sons, Musharraf is not tempted to join this nexus, and hates their guts (except for the military part of the nexus, from which he currently draws his own power).

Neptune, see the demarcation line used by Shah, * is the same used by AVR. Who has time in the world to do that? Unless you are used to do things in certain ways. If Shah and Bapu are the same face then AVR got to be the same person. Also names like Arrested Development and AVR are the expressions of same mind, elaborate yet abstract.

Sorry AVR, although you took my side in the war with Bapu, I have doubts about you :).

Thanks saminashah, for the public service announcement.:-) I appreciate it.

Despite all the 12 different identities (the bats at twilight) this person is not smart enough to try and disguiuse his/her writing style. They are all equally incoherent, rambling, badly written posts.

Neptune

It is my pleasure! I personally liked your line; ``step on the toes of one, and the other eleven will start screaming...``

shima

this phenomena defies understanding. nonetheless, I think every new female Chowkwallah must be warned. Every week, someone should post a message on each board.

Hmmm no... A-V-R is too coherent to be 12-face.

Jawahara and Samina, audio-video-radio is another nick for the same person with 12 identities. This is really bizzare that one personality attacks another !!

Jawahara,

Good to see your posts. A quick word on ``Bijli``; he is a Chowk interactor that has 12 nicknames and maintains he has 12 different identities. Its a little too behuda for me, but be warned, speak to one, and the rest will swarm all over you like bats at twillight. It will become too bizarre.He refuses to express any reasonable behavior in this manner. The other designations are Aamir, Shah, Bapu, Deepika, Fatima, Faiza, Sadhna, Studebaker, Bhardwaj, Lajwanti and Brad Cruise.

This is a public service announcement. Thank you.

regards

Your new moniker, *Arrested Development * is totally apt, Bijli or whoever you are. Your development, if it ever began, is definitely arrested.

I could care less whether you agree with what I say or not. My job was to write it. Once it`s out of my hands, I can only clarify things. I can`t dictate that people have to like it. Oh, but you wouldn`t know that...freedom...an alien concept for you huh?

HANDS OFF ARAFAT – AND WITHDRAW : UN AND US tells Sharon.

Sharon may be trying to eliminate Arafat but the writing on the wall is that -- IT IS Sharon -- whose days are numbered.

Like Hitler, Mussolini, Bin Laden and Saddam Hussain -- every TORMENTOR of the people -- in a rising crescendo of VIOLENCE -- one day -- OVERPLAYS -- his HANDS -- and suddenly the world catches those HANDS -- and says NO MORE -- and BEATS those HANDS into pulp.

The blood soaked HANDS of that Butcher of Shattila and Sabra are -- in the process of -- OVERPLAY -- around Arafat`s compound -- those HANDS are heading for the chopping block.

The US supported 14-0 Security Council resolution ordering Israel to WITHDRAW -- is the FIRST warning SHOT.

As always like every TYRANT -- Sharon the Bulldozer is about to BULLDOZE the moral and political structure of Israel -- into the grounds of NAZI abominations.

IT IS TIME -- for that Likud’s APOLOGIST – the FIG LEAF -- Shimon Perez -- to jump off the TYRANT`S TITANIC.

Yes, for all intents and purposes I am American, though I have disagreed with most of their foreign policies and overseas activities. I have taken a lot from this country and to be anything else is unacceptable, especially at this time. That does not mean that I will not continue to criticize its policies here and elsewhere.

Besides this was not written as a political commentary, it was my reaction to what happened. It was a reflection of my fears. Yes, we all know of things that happen elsewhere. This was my reaction to what happened *here *. Right or wrong, that is it.

I will not argue much with your criticism of this article. That is your right as a reader. However, I do take exception to your ``reaping the rewards`` statement. If the masterminds of September 11 had gone after military targets I would not have been this upset. You sign up for the military you sign up for risks.

But to suggest that people who showed up to work or the babies on the plane or anyone else who died, is helping reap the rewards is a barbaric and heartless statement. Yes, it happens elsewhere...that does not make it right. Period!

No-one...not here, not in Afghanistan or Chechnya (Kashmir is another case altogether that I will not get into here) or anywhere else in the world, deserves this terror and horror.

Cheers
