-Caveat Lector- The US heading to a final showdown? K.N. Pandita November 12 rocket attack on American embassy and the UN buildings in Islamabad was, obviously, in retaliation to the 14 November deadline set forth by the Security Council for the Taliban to hand over Osama bin Laden accused by the US for bombing of her two embassies in Africa. By simultaneously attacking the UN building, the planners of the attack wanted to convey the message that the Security Council is a handmaid of the US and this position of the world organization is not acceptable to the Islamists. Aren't they speaking the truth and nothing but the truth? Taliban have refused to hand over the Saudi-born CIA - sponsored terrorist whose contribution in the anti-Soviet war in Afghanistan was essentially that of innovating the tactics of digging underground tunnels with exits in the rear of forward military posts of the combined Soviet and nationalist forces. Osma, then, was the apple of CIA's eye. Osama turned against the Americans and the Saudi monarchy because once close to the top intelligence organizations in Saudi Arabia and the US, he realized that the monarchy had virtually abandoned the kingdom to the Americans and that the so-called sovereignty of the Muslim world was far from reality. The fighting qualities of the Afghan mujahideen and their determination of taking on the super-power infused in him the spirit of independence and self-confidence that could help the Muslims to rise as a decisive factor in global politics. With huge wealth coming to him from his family business concerns and his knowledge of enormous drug-money generated in the Afghan mujahideen region, he could think of challenging the Americans to leave alone the Saudi kingdom and the Muslim world. In his vision and dream, he found strong support in official and non-official circles in Pakistan. Even Pakistani soil was at his disposal to draw plans and programmes in the fulfilment of his dreams. Pakistani Sunni Wahhabi organizations were ready to go frull distance to render their outright support to his plans. Thus at least for him and for those committed to his agenda of Islamic power, there does not exist any physical boundary dividing Saudi Arabia from Pakistan and Afghanistan. Kashmir is the latest addition. But Pakistan played her cards very carefully in Osama's game. Pakistani government and religious organizations maintained extraordinarily good relations with the Saudi monarchy. Osama was not allowed to do anything that would break the strong fraternal relations between the Saudi kingdom and Pakistan. This is because Saudi monarchy had many stakes in the stability and perpetuation of Pakistan. She was a strong link between her and China. It was on Pakistan's behest that China had agreed to give Saudis M-11 missiles, which can be fitted with nuclear warheads. Osama virtually found himself presiding over a vast empire of Islamic mujahids, from Sudan to Kashmir to Burma and the Philippines. With the Soviet Union having met with collapse and fragmentation, Osama thinks he can easily take on the Americans, the only remaining super power in the world. To him, the humbling of the Americans means writing off the Saudi monarchy against which he, however, did fire a few warning shots in the shape of Riyadh blasts. Taliban Amiru'l-Momineen, Mulla Omar has categorically rejected the demand of the Americans to extradite Osama. Maulana Fazlu'r-Rahman, the chief of Jamiatu'l-Ulema-e Islami -- the umbrella organization for Lashkar-e-Taiyyaba -- exhorted his commandos to seek and kill Americans if the US attacks Afghanistan or bin Laden's camps. Other Pakistani religious organizations have also committed their support to his call. Pakistan's military ruler, Geneal Musharraf, has been in close contact with the Taliban and Osama ever since their rise. He did not prevent the holding of a massive convention by the Lashkar-e-Taiyyaba organization in Muridke near Lahore from 3 - 5 November 1999 where resolutions were passed calling the activists to give a fight to the Americans, the Indians and the Israelis. He responded to the wishes of the pro-Laden brigades, whom he had shifted from Jalalabad to Kargil heights but had to be withdrawn under Nawaz Sharif's decision, by ousting Sharif government. Now armed with the tacit support of the Islamist military wing from Sudan to Kashmir to the Philippines, Osama feels confident of practically embarking on his grand design of establishing, through force of arms, the Islamic Caliphate with pristine Muslim political, economic and social system. Years ago, the Dawa wal Ershad Muslim religious organization based in Pakistan had drawn a comprehensive blue print for the Islamic Caliphate, its constitution, directive principles and economic structure. But apart from the support structure described above, the real and most formidable support to Osama comes from the US itself. He knows that the US may be seeking him as her enemy number one, but it is precisely the US, which lends outright support to his ideology of Islamic dominance through muscle power. American policy in Bosnia, her deployment of NATO forces to suppress Yugoslavia, her warning to Russia to stop military action against Chechnian and Dagestani Muslim separatists, her covert support to Kashmiri Muslim militants by pronouncing Kashmir as disputed territory, her soft attitude, if not outright support, towards Hurriyyat - the bastion of Islamic insurgency in Kashmir - all is nothing short of full scale support to Osama's Islamic ideology. The US is doing all it can to promote the Osama ideology in letter and in spirit. Yes, the US with her long arm may one day get hold of Osama and call him to justice, but the hard reality is that the US is seeking him only to further strengthen and reinforce her support to Osama's ideology because that serves US' strategic interests globally. In final analysis we cannot ignore the contribution of Osama and his allied supporters in exposing the hypocrisy of the US. Is it not true that the US shall have to pay a price and no wonder a heavy price, for engineering through the Islamic extremists the downfall of the Soviet Union? For certain, with the passage of each day and each hour, the USA is coming closer and closer to a final and decisive showdown with the Frankenstein it created in the shape of Islamic theo-fascism around the world.
