Some fires result firing – Gen. Stanley McChrystal fired by US President!
This week’s top story on US and international media is Stanley McChrystal and his firing by US president. We know what was happened between Obama administration and Stanley McChrystal that resulted his firing. For those who dont know what happened, in short Stanley McChrystal gave an interview to a magazine in which he insulted Obama administration regarding current governance. According to different news agencies ‘Stanley McChrystal’ was in high command of US Marine in Afghanistan. The point is not what he said and he was fired. There are many points to be discussed and noted. One is unacceptibility of US failure in afghanistan by Obama administration, and second is undemocratic behavior (which was covered by saying Stanley McChrystal’s was no more up to the requirements and expectations). If US claims to be a liberal and democratic state, then the situtation could be undoubtedly different. Obama administration could call him and inquire that what is the problem? Why you said all that?
If you observe this event as a social scientist or a psychiatrist you will feel more closely the hidden aspects. Are Nato and US marines happy with the war decision of US and allies? Are people of US happy on this invasion on Iraq and afghanistan? Stanley McChrystal may be or may be not, gave a stance as a human being against his country’s foreign policy.

U turn!
As per our US relations experience Pakistani nation is very concerned about it. Besides what government of Pakistan’s foreign policy is, masses of Pakistan never accepted USA and they have solid reasons for that. History tells us after soviet afghan war USA left afghan-Pakistan alliance and revised its foreign policy. Now after almost one decade USA again made Pakistan as major alley. Pakistan had to bear a lot for this. No doubts due to our internal problems like bad government and corruption we could not utilize US’s aid in all times. Then again point comes to that problem of huge crises of leadership in Pakistan. I always write, this crises is the biggest one and only be produced purely by Pakistani people. Why don’t we choose right people?
True Pakistani leaders could achieve a lot from US cooperation. One of the major lacking point of ex president musharraf was that he never used USA for betterment of people and in strategic and economic sectors. Experts say that USA contributes technology, strategic empowerment and research with India and loans, aids and defense material with Pakistan. It’s totally unfair!
I always quote the quotation of an American author and professor of business management department of University of southern California. He differentiate Manager and Leader as ‘Managers are the people who do things right, and Leaders are the people who do right things’ .
So, our leaders of next 10 years whoever they are and will be, must think that tale of slippery fish can be slipped from hand at any time. Friends can become enemies without giving any indication. Beware of those changes that are waiting to happen!
