I am not ready to beat war drums as yet..

A person like Musharraf who has a certain perception because of Kargil mis adventure should not have gone to Indian media in the first place if he had Pakistani interest in mind. It’s time to talk with sanity on Indian media.. not everyone in India is a hate monger against Pakistan.

I have not seen the complete interview. The clips which were shown on Pakistani media were enough to make “India Hate Club” in Pakistan go euphoric. The army man turned failed politician tried to gain some mileage from this specific “Hate Club” to give some respite to his otherwise doomed political career.. There is no need to glorify Musharraf for his attempts to exploit this volatile situation between two neighboring countries.

I dont really have an issue with Musharraf. He did what he did, and so have countless equally corrupt politicians and generals before him. infact, Musharaf is the least of all evils among Pakistan. Misadventures are a hallmark of both sides, life goes on.

And this isnt an issue of war or hate mongering. At no point in that video did Musharraf express any ill sentiment towards India or Indians, nor did he have an aggressive tone.

Now being an advocate for peace is one thing, but lately it seems our intellectuals have resorted to becoming completely passive and docile. Pakistanis deserve to have their opinion aired, they must defend themselves, you shouldnt sit about and accept such accusations. None of the media in Pakistan and none of the politicians have defended Pakistan against such attacks. Everyone wants peace, but it should be peace with dignity. Call it what you like, but I appreciate Musharraf putting things perspective for such blow hards.

Your not beating the drums of war by defending your countries position.
