So far, there is consensus. Zia’s policies hurt the country… a lot. The question is, did he have a choice except saying “Yes, Sir” to Americans? Something which our generals have always done.

I think Zia had choice. Actually, he did say ‘No’ when Americans first approached, claiming that what Americans are offering in aid for Pakistani involvement in Afghanistan, was peanut.

But I believe, pressure from Saudi Arabia (who wanted to spread Wahabism in Pakistan) and was willing to pay for it, plus American increase in dollar aid, made Zia change his mind.
