Lets turn this into something constructive. Shall we??
Lets us all assume for a moment that what is stated above is indeed true or better still are the sentiments of a section of society within the country.But a closer look at the circumstances we are faced with show that Mushaaraf did not have much choice. True I understand that we need to learn to say NO too, to something that conflicts or goes against our national interest so that the others know that we can resist their pressure.
But,
1) what are the options we have with regard to the problem in Wana and the resistance being shown by the local malitia in North and South Waziristan?
2) What options did we have at the time when US bombed Afghanistan?Was it difficult for US to bomb Pakistan at the sametime??? List the choices we had and where did we fail to play our cards well.

1) The Wana operation has caused a significant outcry because it led to the Pakistani army fighting and killing its own Muslim population, something it has never done before. What is worse is that it is becoming blatantly clear that the army is being used as slave to carry out the goals of the Americans. The tribal people in Wana have seen their own homes and villages being destroyed and have been forced to defend themselves against the Pakistan military.
2) America had no right political or moral to bomb pakistan they have no link to 9/11. There is no proof or any credible evidence of this.
Secondly the people alleged to have commitied 9/11 are supposed to be from saudi arabia why was'nt a judgement made in public to proove this, it seems everything was done behind closed doors why?
Today Pakistan has doubled its problems, and now has to deal with enemies on two fronts; India and the Northern Alliance. Clearly the current disaster is a result of a long line of policies that have made Pakistan a tool in the hands of America, which it is currently using to full effect on its War against Islam.
