sorry to say sir but that pathetic. . .
is army seekig some kind of revenge from the nation?
democracy is claimed to be the right choice for countires (though i have never been a strong supporter and term the Musharaff era, atleast the first 3~4 years as the best time of Pakistan) but gurding democracy DO NOT mean guarding corruption.
what is the difference in forces and corrupt politician if both are deliberatley allowing and making the country go down?
Yes, the army is seeking revenge from Pakistan - however, it is seeking revenge because the nation refuses to bestow on the army the kind of deference it once did.
But why has the nation decided that the army must earn it's keep? What has gone wrong?
Well, lets rephrase this, what has the army done right? Has it been successful against the Islamist enemy?? How could it possibly be successful against the Islamist enemy when that enemy is the army's own creation, when the army is itself the largest Islamist force in the country.
Has the army's control over policies delivered a better economy? Has it delivered peace with India? Has it delivered peace with Afghanistan? With Iran? With Arabia?
Have Pakistanis and their property safer with the army? Are Pakistanis safer when the army first stands by and lets a foreign force conduct operations inside Pakistan and here I don't mean just the Americans, but also the foreign Jihadis - and then arrests what it claims are informers for Americans within it's ranks, while it negotiates with Islamists angry over the dismissal of Islamists within the ranks of the armed forces - just who is safe with the army running things? Other than the generals, of course.
Beyond these, the basic fact is that the army is simply inept at what should be it's strong suit but is extraordinarily adept at politics and pushing the Pakistani people about -- this is a sad thing to say, but we have to say it -- and the army has to learn to accept it and better itself.
Instead of threatening the nation, the army should be explaining herself to the nation, instead of issuing demands that it not be held accountable, the army should be shaping the debate - instead it's begging for respect.
But wait, did we not warn of this eventuality? Have we not discussed that if the army continues to be seen as a obstacle, that it will be dealt with in a manner not conducive to it's national and security relevance? Lets hope there are those in Kiyanbi's army that may still want to be part of Pakistan's army - because Kiyani's army has no future.
