Ahan!
So sir what is the fuss about!!??
I am talking about supporting the Mujahideen. It was a noble cause.
Dude if made the right choice so that's it. On one hand you say the choice and decisions was right, on the other you bash him for a 'wrong' decision!? Wow!
the anti-soviet forces were not the ones killing Iranian diplomats in Karachi, attacking Lahore airport etc.
It was mostly Afghan nationalists.....but it was also Arab/Uzbek (same people who settled here rather than gettin the hell out as soon as the war was over)
Well that was the fall-out, as true with all the strategic decisions.
That is because Pakistan, USA, Saudi and all other parties involved were too short-sighted.
and as I pointed earlier, local sectarian groups and non-state controlled Madrassas were merely Zia's work. It had nothing to do with the anti-soviet movement
i dont say that it something guud for the country but the fact remains that it was bound to happen,. so we should accept it
Accept it? As a fellow member of Pakistan Armed Forces, I am alarmed by your statement.
Do you have a cure to this problem, or you will accept Toyota Hilux's and Isuzu trucks packed with 600+ kg of high-quality explosives and ball-bearings coming to a city near you?
**** that, not in my name.
,
yes the mistake we made is of the usual stance that we thinks of days not even months whereas, the West plan for the next 50 years!
oh God here we go.
No time for conspiracy theories during this critical time. Even if india or the west were supporting the militants, why would Muslims buy into this game and be bombing their own fellow Muslim country
(i.e. the people of Afghanistan, and some mis-guided youth in FATA and even parts of Baluchistan and South Punjab)
We forgot that now when we are arming the religions factions we tomorrow has to control them also, we shouldnt have let them go out of our hands! That's the mistake that we made!
You are right about that. It isn't just Pakistan's fault. It is everbody's fault.
Therefore, 'Madrassah' that train children to destroy things should be replaced by Government and Private schools that teach children to be productive, think cogently, and argue persuasively using logic
Fortunately it is no more there, and personally i feel that what bad id it do afterward, how many officers and men do you see blowing themselves up in the name of Islam today or ever in the Army and ISI?
Never in my existence have I come across ISI or sipahi extremist elements. Never.
My cousin has a friend and her father is Brigadier General who is not averse to the Occasional scotch with ice!
Ours is a professional Army. But Zia was a bugger and a bloody hypocrite.
He has caused damage we are still feeling today.....and the funny thing is that he even helped bring drugs to Pakistan.
Well is where we all disagree with you. Pakistan is an Islamic Republic and Pak Army is this country's part and parcel and we cant 'separate' religion from anywhere in our society. You can give it a try, though!
I did it a long time ago. And it attracts me even closer to spirituality because it comes to me naturally.....it isnt shovelled down my throat.
Whereas wahhaby go look at **** and drink a scotch while nobody is watching.
Have some respect, he did many guuds also.
he helped us get F-16s. What else?
Hmm... i am sorry sir. But here's an option; why dont you celebrate his death anniversary now by firing na dMP5 on the roof of your home?
I prefer to take a cruise on my CBR600RR and do wheelies down Jamrud Road with the Pakistani flag wavving with honour from the handlebars.
MP-5 only sees daylight once every 2-3 months.
Ok yes, but is he the only one to be blamed? BTW, he died in '88 if you missed that.
Nope. I blame his whole administration.
Many fine Officers in the Air Force were detained in his dungeons for crimes they never committed.
He was a disaster to the Army. And in retrospect, a disgrace to Republic of Pakistan.
Any leader could have helped manage the war without bringing back baggage and side-effects back to our door-step.
You dont have an iota of shame, sir.
Don't worry. I get that a lot.
I'm not too concerned.
No comments. (Dont want to start a new topic here)
Cause you know I am right. But some of his war-planning left some things to be desired.
