Re: Government Policies Totally Failed in Swat Crisis!
^^
Yehya and Musharaf were from Army, but both them had great lust for power, both of them couldn't see anything beyond their nose.
One cannot compare orange with an apple, Kiyani on the other hand, has (so far) shown no lust for power, although he had great chance to take over couple months back, he could have taken over, re-instate the CJ and pooooooh got the public support, but he kept himself in the position of solving Pakistan's problem, he is doing the same as of we speak.
If the military operation is not the solution then can you propose one? Govt did had an agreement with these Sufi Muhammad and his fellow men, and what happend, they instead of applying the model in Swat, started to take over Buner and other areas, Sufi Mohammad, couldn't digest the success and we got in the situation where operation is the only option, Didn't US and Every one in the and out of Pakistan opposed the peace deal??? I remember few were ready to invade and few were ready to invite these foreign forces to Invade Pakistan... would that be a better situation???
Now as the operation is in progress the arms the level of training.. would you accept that it the Talibans who are dying hard to impose Shriah Law are begging US-AFGHAN-INDIAN consortium to fund and train them and the consourtium is so sincere in imposing Shariah that they have decided to help them with every thing they can???
This operation was and is was not desired but yes was predicted by many, one can say that Govt and Army did try all the means to avoid the operation but these thugs who call themselves taliban listen to none but their master who have only one wish, i.e., disintegrate Pakistan or atleast de-stablize Pakistan.
I am not saying that Zardari have taken the right step, if given the choice he might have sold the country and would be living some where else, but yes I do think that Pakhtun'Kha's Govt & the Prime Minister are doing all they can to minimize the collateral Damage, but this is war, people die in war, nation make sacrifices in war, like i said before, it is biggest migration since 1947, and Pakistanies have still heart to manage it...
I agree that these IDPs should be sent back, i guess people from the areas of Buner may start going back to their homes, and soon we might see that with people of other areas.
Wazirstan thing is more like a political statement, Army cannot open a new front while they are busy on the other...
