http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/26/world/asia/26pstan.html ISLAMABAD, Pakistan â Americans may think that the failed Times Square bomb was planted by a man named Faisal Shahzad. But the view in the Supreme Court Bar Association here in Pakistanâs capital is that the culprit was an American âthink tank.â Notes from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and other areas of conflict in the post-9/11 era. Go to the Blog » Related The Lede Blog: A Grand Conspiracy Theory From Pakistan (May 12, 2009) More From the At War Blog Enlarge This Image Jason Tanner for The New York Times Until recently, Zaid Hamid was an outspoken commentator on Pakistani television. No one seems to know its name, but everyone has an opinion about it. It is powerful and shadowy, and seems to control just about everything in the American government, including President Obama. âThey have planted this character Faisal Shahzad to implement their script,â said Hashmat Ali Habib, a lawyer and a member of the bar association. Who are they? âYou must know, you are from America,â he said smiling. âMy advice for the American nation is, get free of these think tanks.â Conspiracy theory is a national sport in Pakistan, where the main players â the United States, India and Israel â change positions depending on the ebb and flow of history. Since 2001, the United States has taken center stage, looming so large in Pakistanâs collective imagination that it sometimes seems to be responsible for everything that goes wrong here. âWhen the water stops running from the tap, people blame America,â said Shaista Sirajuddin, an English professor in Lahore. The problem is more than a peculiar domestic phenomenon for Pakistan. It has grown into a narrative of national victimhood that is a nearly impenetrable barrier to any candid discussion of the problems here. In turn, it is one of the principal obstacles for the United States in its effort to build a stronger alliance with a country to which it gives more than a billion dollars a year in aid. It does not help that no part of the Pakistani state â either the weak civilian government or the powerful military â is willing to risk publicly owning that relationship. One result is that nearly all of American policy toward Pakistan is conducted in secret, a fact that serves only to further feed conspiracies. American military leaders slip quietly in and out of the capital; the Pentagon uses networks of private spies; and the main tool of American policy here, the drone program, is not even publicly acknowledged to exist. âThe linchpin of U.S. relations is security, and itâs not talked about in public,â said Adnan Rehmat, a media analyst in Islamabad. The empty public space fills instead with hard-line pundits and loud Islamic political parties, all projected into Pakistani living rooms by the rambunctious new electronic media, dozens of satellite television networks that weave a black-and-white, prime-time narrative in which the United States is the central villain. âPeople want simple explanations, like evil America, Zionist-Hindu alliance,â said a Pakistani diplomat, who asked not to be named because of the delicate nature of the topic. âItâs gone really deep into the national psyche now.â One of those pundits is Zaid Hamid, a fast-talking, right-wing television personality who rose to fame on one of Pakistanâs 90 new private television channels. He uses Google searches to support his theory that India, Israel and the United States â through their intelligence agencies and the company formerly known as Blackwater â are conspiring to destroy Pakistan. For Mr. Hamid, the case of Mr. Shahzad is one piece of a larger puzzle being assembled to pressure Pakistan. Why, otherwise, the strange inconsistencies, like the bombâs not exploding? âIf you connect the dots, you have a pretty exciting story,â he said. But the media are only part of the problem. Only a third of Pakistanâs population has access to satellite channels, Mr. Rehmat said, and equally powerful are Islamic groups active at the grass roots of Pakistani society. Though Pakistan was created as a haven for Muslims, it was secular at first, and did not harden into an Islamic state on paper until 1949. Intellectuals point to the moment as a kind of original sin, when Islam became embedded in the countryâs democratic blueprint, handing immense power to Islamic hard-liners, who could claim â despite their small numbers â to be the true guardians of the state. Together with military and political leaders, these groups wield Islamic slogans for personal gain, further shutting down discussion. |
