In my Global Education course we do something called SIMUN where each pupil receives a country to stand for in the United Nations. This is an example. My country is Indonesia and I will be discussing how Indonesia would feel about if terrorist groups became in a larger threat to Pakistan’s safety and the United States occupied Pakistan to secure the nuclear weapons from terrorist groups.
Indonesia has a problem with terrorism. In 2002 there was a major attack where a night club in Bali was bombed; most call this the Bali attack. At first Indonesia denied it had any connections to Middle Eastern terrorist groups, but now they are saying it is a definite possibility. Since 2002 Indonesia has taken control over the situations putting dozens of terrorists behind bars. There hasn’t been a major attack since. I found all this and more about Indonesia’s terrorism problem at www.cfr.org.
Because of Indonesia’s success with fighting terrorism without larger, more powerful countries involvement this Southern Asian country would be fighting with Pakistan to get the United States back out If Indonesia could handle the situation then so could Pakistan. Indonesia also has nuclear weapons which were untouched by terrorist parties during the bombing in Bali. Granted, Pakistan’s government is less stable, but they can ask for help from the United States when it is needed and when it would be most appreciated. It is unfair to the U.S. to have no faith in the smaller countries, and think nothing can be resolved without them. No country can be rebuilt and survive if another country does it all for them.
If the Taliban were to get their hands on nuclear weapons this would no longer be a threat to national security, but to world security and Indonesia feels only then is it appropriate for America to send aide to Pakistan to take back control without Pakistan’s consent.
