With fifteen people dead (seven of whom are children), no more than 70 injured, and 150 homes destroyed or damaged we see yet another societal internalization of violence as a direct result of government interference.  Yesterday, Monday, July 13, a bomb planted in a local cleric’s house exploded in the Punjab province of Pakistan.  The cleric used his residence in Mian Channu to provide religious education to children. 

Yet again we see another case of societal destabilization in South Asia and the Middle East as a result of government violence in the region.  Drone attacks have plagued schools, weddings, and homes on an almost daily basis since the Obama inauguration.  While the mouthpieces of the Obama administration and the one-party legislature would probably circumvent the criticism, it has been proven by various credible intelligence sources that increased US military presence in Pakistan has destabilized Afghanistan by driving insurgents back across the border.  Thus, the US has been “forced” to deepen its commitments in Afghanistan while spreading its campaign into yet another country. 

A reemerging pattern seems to be establishing itself in the form of US imperial adventures leading to an increase in societal warfare and destabilization.  It has happened for years in the Middle East, most recently in Afghanistan and Iraq, and now, the bloodshed is making its way into Pakistan.  Despite calls for the US to end its bombings of Pakistan, the US government has refused to call off the UAV's. With the Pakistani government leveraged up on American aid, the US government has effectively removed any hindrance to its plans for conquest in the area.  If the Pakistani government were to oppose US military action they would find themselves on the verge of collapse; so, in the name of government parasitism, both the American and Pakistani governments will do what it takes to survive and prosper. No matter how many honest men, women, and children will pay for the proliferation of government-sponsored slavery, US military action will only proliferate in the area.

Don’t be surprised if more of these bombings continue.  Don’t be surprised is more drone attacks escalate the violence.  Don’t be surprised if more US military troops are required in Afghanistan, and eventually they are requested in Pakistan.  And do not be surprised if more innocent people die at the hands of thieves, murderers, torturers, and serial killers posing as government officials.
