Its because I am not emotionally invested in Imran Khan and therefore can acknowledge where hes right along with where hes wrong.
Neither do I, as hes not my chachey da puttar, nor do I support him based on ethnic lines, like some people based their support for the dictator before.

Now him saying that the Swat situation has nothing to do with America, and tracing the roots back to partition, directly contradicts what you've been saying in the other thread: that everything was good before Musharraf came, and its only Musharrafs fault. Do you disagree with him on that?

First tell me this, how did you assume I agree with Imran's views on Swat? Again you are assuming things yet again. I dont even think Imran's blaming the Govt like the way he should be. First you need to tell the Swatis it was a screw up orchestrated by the previous Govt, the army was merely following orders. Then you should try and restore confidence. What you need NOT do is what PCG and the others are saying here, just label them as the bad guys, curse and yell at them and later throw bombs at them.

I should say I dont entirely agree with him, I feel Musharraf should have been able to beat off these guys more effectively, and that indicates either incompetence or collusion. The same about the current lot.

Musharraf was more interested in retaining his kursi and this Swat messed helped him significantly.
