Not many Muslim leaders would concur with, let alone use, the following glowing description of Israel’s controversial Prime Minister Ariel Sharon: “A great soldier and a courageous leader.” But that is exactly what President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan called Sharon.
These words, spoken to the German weekly Der Spiegel, were more than one general admiring another. Coming from a leader whose country is yet to formally recognize the Jewish State, such a public admiration for Sharon is yet another indication of Pakistan’s overtures towards Israel. This, however, was not the first time when Musharraf made pro-Israeli noises in public. At periodic intervals, various political leaders, especially Musharraf, have been hinting that Pakistan has been re-examining its policy toward Israel and that the issue should be examined with an “open mind.” Most of the pro-Israeli statements made by Musharraf have been said either directly to the Western audience or on the eve of his meeting with US leaders.
Musharraf is either on crack or he has totally gone mental, not content with bombing his own people in Waziristan where razing villages, slaying innocent civilians and expelling families from their homes puts him on the same level as Ariel Sharon who is only too happy to destroy villages kill innocent civillians in palestine. Now we have the leader of Pakistan calling the butcher of Palestine a good soldier whats next maybe he will call Bush hes father and mother roled into one. :frusty2:
