The news station VBS, out of Brooklyn, recently took trip to Pakistan to report on the recent spike in the region's violence and bloodshed. Locals believe that America's war on terror is falling flat on its face. The military conflict in the neighboring country Afghanistan, stated by locals, only ends up sending a constant flood of guns, refugees, militants and heroin into Pakistan.
In Peshawar, the VBS reporters met with Rahimullah Yusufzai.Yusufzai was the last person to interview Osama bin Laden and one of Pakistan's most respected journalists.He is concerned that much of the resulting anti-Western sentiment in the country is because of anger directed at American foreign policy.: "There's a saying: 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.' America is playing the role of an enemy, and al Qaeda is the reaction to it. People need to realize this. No one has the right to dictate over a free country. They force their political and social policies on us, which they have no right to." Shabir Ahmed Khan, the provincial secretary of Jamaat-i-Islami stated.
