Re: Imran Khan sees people’s revolution looming
I will take your advice and read. I need to do that anyway to formulate an educated opinion.
What I heard directly from Imran on the matter of the Taliban summarizes to this: you cannot wage war (i.e. seek a “military” resolution) against these people. They will not relent (i.e. you kill one and they will continue to wage war against you for generations). You must seek a “political” resolution (i.e. enter into talks with them). Funny comment from hiim on the matter: “Allah nay duniya main do makhlooq bana’een hain…aik insaan or aik pathan.”
I don’t see this as the position of an apologist. I see this as the stance of someone that has studied and undertands the “enemy”. I see this as a position that may save many lives… but then again, what do I know, right?
