Re: More Progress : Civilians can be court-martialled : Army Act amended
Swat happened on his watch and due to his incompetence. He is responsible for it. In any other country and any other head of state who even had an ounce of conscience he would have resigned. Don't try and put the blame on others, he is responsible for it and instead of dealing with the matter he is playing games and more interested in saving his kursi than saving Pakistan. if he has limited resources than shouldn't he be looking for compromises instead of creating anarchy in the country. Who are you to call Pakistanis jahil just because you are sitting in the west and think you might have a degree. Talk like that tells the world who the real jahils are.
Wrong. Again, if he had taken more severe action earlier, it would have created an outcry of protest from Pakistanis everywhere. The sympathy you people give to these guys is well known, and Lal Masjid was an excellent example of people showcasing their extremist sympathies.
Have you not seen people like Hareem denouncing the President for not being more soft with these guys. And then you come along and say he should have done more about it? He had troops on the border monitoring what was coming back and forth, he had spies in these areas which are now beheaded mostly, and he had lots of social workers and religious parties in dialogue with these people. That was excatly how he should have handled it. Peaceful approach first. That has failed. Now, he's using military force, as he should.
You people need to make up your mind. He is getting criticized by some for being too soft, and others for being too harsh.
