AOPP - Pakistan / N. Korea

U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530-0001 Dear Mr. Attorney General, The United States Department of Justice decision to include Pakistan in the list of the Countries who visitors are required to register with INS has not only come as shock to us but also an eye opener that the current administration is working without any principles, ethics, morality and conscientiousness. Pakistan is and has been the Country who has been with the United States from day one. The history of collaboration and working together is longer than most Countries. Pakistan has suffered very significantly financially as well as politically but the support that Pakistan provides to the US has been unstinted. The President and Secretary of State have on multiple occasions publicly acknowledged Pakistan’s friendship and overwhelming support to us. I am sure some of the shortsighted individuals in the administration may be able to give a few petty arguments supporting this wrong and extremely irresponsible decision. The message that is being sent out in a very obvious way is that, if anyone in the world belongs to the faith of Islam, they will have to face hardships, discrimination, and organized hatred by some in the current administration in the United States. This is irrespective if they have been our friends, have been peace loving, caring and been our supporters through every difficult time in our recent history. I think that the US Department of Justice civil rights division should take urgent notice of the decisions and actions of the US Department of Justice. Pakistan, and the people of Pakistan are our friends, and taking actions and making decisions that will alienate our allies should be immediately be reversed. Sadly,
