Re: Is Army and civilian government headed for confrontation again?
Sachiee …. Taliban not only recruits from Pakistani civilians, but they exists due to their supports.
No doubt Zia was catalyst that changed Islam in Pakistan from peaceful religion of Prophet (SAW) to Fisad of Kharjees. But still, fuel after this change was provided by Pakistani nation and petro-dollars.
I do not think there is much difference between India and Pakistan, as both governments consist of corrupts (Pakistan rulers being more corrupt than India). Exception is that army has not taken over India government. Reason is that Indian army do not represent India as much as what Pakistani force do. If Pakistan armed forces would be 80 percentage Bolochs, Sindhis, and Kashmiris, and very few from Punjab and KP, then there would be no military takeover even if rulers of Pakistan sell the country to India or China.
Anywhere we see developments under democracy, it happened where one can find strong, competent, efficient, and incorruptible accountability, judiciary, bureaucracy, and policing. Along with strong self-accountability in political parties and selection of candidates for election who have high moral grounds (according to the values of their country), plus no one in political office in these countries are secure or above law.
And yea, all this establishment of democracy in west happened after first military bringing strong accountability in the country.
So, please do not compare highly developed democracy of west with sham democracy of Pakistan.
