Ladies and gentleman Pakistan has a long history of martial laws and military brutality - from the genocide in Bangladesh to the despicable bombing of Baloch people and ruthless colonization and marginalization of Sindhi people. And so the recent martial-law or emergency rule in Pakistan should not come as a surprise. Moreover this military takeover is neither the first and nor the last one we shall witness, that is, if Pakistan in its current state exists on the map of the world. And in its current state, Pakistan is the single source of global Islamic terrorism and geopolitical instability.

I must say that in Pakistan's history we have seen it all - from military takeovers, martial laws, draconian Islamic laws, to breakup of the country but this is the first time we have seen a military chief/President stage a coup against his own government.

Ladies and gentlemen lets just face the fact that Pakistan is a failed state. In his recent piece in Washingtopost.com, Dr Ali Ettefagh writes "Pakistan is not a country. It is a failed British fantasy about the fabrication of a nation-state". So today I am here to tell you that it is high time to seriously revisit Pakistan's internal colonial structure (presided by the Punjabi-Mohajir nexus) and if need be redraw its boundaries.

We need to understand that there are fundamental issues with Pakistan and restoration of democracy and constitution is only part of the solution. The basic national question of Pakistan needs to be addressed immediately before the country turns into a total Islamo-fascist country like Iran. Let us not forget that the only "free and fair" elections ever held resulted in the break-up of the country.

Ladies and gentlemen Pakistan is not a nation State - it's a federation but the current Constitution does not guarantee full rights for the constituent units and moreover it has been tampered by ruthless dictators and thus should be declared null and void. New terms of agreements should be drawn up between the constituent units and that at minimum Pakistan should be de-Centralized, de-Militarized, de-nuclearized and de-Islamized. For a long lasting peace and stability in South Asia, these fundamental changes need to occur in Pakistan and its internal colonial structure presided by Punjab through its increasingly powerful and moneyed military must be dismantled.

The United States government should realize that Musharaf and his military never was and never will be sincere in their efforts to fight the war on terrorism. Recently declassified National Security documents detail years of Pakistani support for Taliban and Extremist elements and clearly illustrate that the Taliban was directly funded, armed and advised by Islamabad itself. So why would Taliban's godfather abandon them when they need them to fight their proxy war in Kashmir and until territorial dispute exists between Pakistan and Afghanistan over the Durand line. Pakistan's fears that a strong and stable Afghanistan will see the Durand line as ex parte and would go to world courts to regain its territory back and as such the Pakistan regime would never allow a strong Afghanistan and the tool they need to destabilize is certainly the Talibans.

It should not come as a surprise that Musharaf's dual policies of feigning war against terrorism while fanning the jihadist fire have helped Al-Qaeda and Taliban fortify their positions and find a permanent safe haven in the Pashtun belt of Pakistan - which the Al-Qaeda was not able to achieve in Egypt, Somalia, Yemen nor Sudan.

To summarize - Pakistan military and Jihadi networks are two faces of the same coin and as such the aid to Pakistan including military one should be halted. Fact is that with the military aid Pakistan is buying heavy arms and jets which are certainly not required to fight war on terror but rather to fight war with its eastern neighbor.

In the end, I want to conclude that the only solution for Pakistan must be on table.
