Who to blame?

I am not sure where to start but I just had to write as I hate having a conversation over this with people for various reasons, primarily they all suck and too emotional, which makes them say things that are no less than what any Taliban would say.

For the record I hate extremism and not just religious.

So let me try and find out the culprit while I write, it all might have started way before but I wasn't there so I can't comment on Umer, Ali or Zia. I will take 11th September 2011 as the starting point.

11/11 was one of the most brutal attack on any nation in recent era, many died, who survived might have never recovered(at least emotionally). That one attack created a huge divide Them & US from which the world never recovered. After that attack America had to retaliate any sane nation would do that but they never slept over their approach and here we are now still trying to fix it. We all can blame America for various things but I think we all were part of their strategy being a Pakistani I should only talk about my country. So when the attack happened our human reaction was 'sadness' but a lot of us started coming up with conspiracy theories, this might have been in our defense or simply because we are not humans. Pakistan just could NOT say no to America this is because we could only try and calm them down but anger stops you from thinking straight with logic.

Why America looked at us? We were there when they wanted us before, we were there who could guide them in the right direction, we were there when they were building this 'cult' (i can't call it a religion) and most importantly we were easy to buy. So we happily joined, feeling like the most favored prostitute of a Sheikh. Forgetting that they might use and leave us pregnant.

We knew each and every one from the list of most wanted, we made them and thats the reason we gave them heads up before they were attacked, we had no choice then we have no choice now but to be part of all this. They way we police Indian border we could have done that for Afghan border too but we are too busy/happy on flat surface to think about rough terrain . The amount we spend to scare India could have been used on the Afghan border if we were really serious about stopping anyone.

We thought if we let them in and hide we could bully America, India etc. etc. and we were right we really thought our co-creation were our friends Ha! they were too pissed at us and played on our internal dived of pro and anti west. We always thought we could control them whenever we wanted, journalist were interested in exclusive interviews, army was busy collecting aid, politicians had found ego boosting hang out buddies which they could use in elections and common man was busy with criticizing whatever they felt was not in their favour. Meanwhile our 'friends' were recruiting and they did that very well by using sympathy, we are humans and very emotional ones so of course we all supported 'friends' from mountains to living rooms we all must have cursed the west and sympathized with the beard. It was all going well, everyone was happy, America thought they took their revenge and just wanted to go back home, Army had money to stare at India, journalist were famous and rich, common man was growing beard and getting ready for heaven by quoting everything from Quran without even giving a thought about context. We all were generally happy!

And then our dear friends decided its time for real Jihad, by this time they had regrouped with everyone's help, they had friends everywhere, they were kind of whos who of the world. Journalist were taking them live on air, politicians were giving speeches in their favour to gain vote bank and they had recruits already in every country ready to blow up in the name of something or the other. Thousands of lives of innocent and not so innocent were lost in this new battle, minorities suffered the most, we all kept quite, westerners in this region suffered, we all kept quite, when alledged blasphemers were killed we all kept quite, education and health suffered we all kept quite but when Osama was killed we did not keep quite and when killers came to court we showered them with petals. Our courts are scared to give punishment, our lawyers are scared to fight a case when religion was involved
