Re: Good for Pakistan: That US opened Iraq front
Antiobl.. why would sending army to Iraq benefit Pakistan? US army will leave & PA will get slaughtered. Pro-Iraqi organizations will step-up attacks against pak. Shia population in Pakistan might aswell get very angry, and civil disorders may start to take place. Not to mention Iran, who may also start to support the shia uprisings.
I am totally against PA going into Iraq. America started the war. It is their responsibility to finish it. Pakistan will not do their dirty work.
& no we cannot afford to send an army of 200,000 easily to Iraq. Do u know how big our army is right now? Do u know how many troops are present in Waziristan? Do u know how many troops are present in Kashmir? Do u know how many troops it takes to guard a 3000Km border with ur biggest enemy? Not to mention the 40,000 who r already up on the Afghani border. Do u know what PA's current budget is? Do u know how expensive it will be to have such a big army in a battlezone?
Perhaps you should research more about our military before posting.
