Peace khoji

I’ve numbered your points above my answers are numbered accordingly:

1. What I said I said about whether it was right to accept America come in to Afghanistan heavy handed or to accept Taliban rule. Pakistan government who are somewhat misaligned to the public supported US quite a few years back to form the Taliban … that does not mean that today Pakistan government accepts them today … and on the whole the public realise that something has gone wrong. It was the meddling of the West that created Taliban and the meddling of the West that took them down. But alas it may be my personal opinion … I just wanted to say that my point was about the ethical justification for going in to Afghanistan by the West and that Pakistanis in general today will not agree with either option.

2. NA were put in power by displacing another regime by force hence anti-democratic

3. But the example I gave showed that even Hazaras constituted Taliban and I showed this to demonstrate that in reality many Hazaras who feature on western media use the term Taliban against their Pashtun neighbours not really criticising Islam but the practices of Pashtuns … I feel this is a tactic designed to play up to the West by many a reporter.

4. I was not talking about the reasons why the Hazara have been persecuted by the Pashtuns. In tribalism and tribal cultures it does not take much to start wars. To blame Taliban for that is wrong … to blame Shari’ah for that is wrong … even in the most harshest manifestation the Taliban ideology did not do that … Pashtun members of Taliban could have abused their power and orchestrated some dire actions, but I don’t believe it is correct to say Hazaras were persecuted because they were Shi’a … but rather because they were already being persecuted and for that matter they didn’t accept the rule of Taliban and hence were considered rebels. These reasons would be more accurate.

I don’t understand the following:

• you say people realize something went wrong and immediately jump to ‘western meddling’. Don’t you think what went wrong was the unholy ‘strategic depth’ dreams which your government, military, intelligence and people enthusiastically supported as long as it meant screwing up and destabilizing Afghanistan? then when the same monsters turned on Pakistan, now ‘something went wrong’ and you blame the west?

• the west ‘meddled’ because they wanted to stop communism spreading into Pakistan; they meddled because taleban govt provided base to al qaeda to attack west from. This is called defense, not meddling.

• instead of accepting and condemning the taleban massacre of hazara, why are you splitting hair and disengenuously bringing in some odd one amongst million hazara that joined taleban, that too to prevent further massacre! in fact your own reference, if it is to be believed proves that taleban has been massacaring hazaras, does it not?

Sorry but this kind of false argument is what gives justification sometimes to these crooks, though you may not mean it that way
