Written by Lal Khan in Lahore

The declining economic and financial power of the United States has
its political ramifications throughout the whole of the Middle East,
as social upheaval increases and the reactionary regimes fear for
their very survival in the coming period...

(On the other side)"..regimes of this volatile region, from Hamid
Karzai to Zardari to Manmohan Singh, are trying to impose and sustain
capitalism that has rotted to the core. These rulers have racked their
brains to pass off shame as honour, cowardice as courage,
pusillanimity and ignorance as wisdom, humiliation as virtue and
wholehearted acceptance of imperialist domination as moral
regeneration. The immense poverty, hunger, disease, unemployment,
deprivation, wars and terror that stalk these lands is threatening the
basic fabric of human culture and civilization. This cannot endure.."

You cannot build anything on the foundations of caste. You cannot
build up a nation, you cannot build up a morality. Anything that you
will build on the foundations of caste will crack and will never be a
whole.
