Re: TIME TO SAVE PAKISTAN FROM ITS RULER
“President Zia ul-Haq was a great leader, a true Pakistani patriot who prevented a Soviet invasion of Pakistan, won the war in Afghanistan, and advanced his nation’s strategic interests in Afghanistan and Central Asia. He was courageous, tough as steel, and refused to be intimidated by anyone. He was wrong to execute Pakistan’s deposed leader, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, but he still was a giant compared to Pervez Musharraf.”
Though I am great admirer of Eric Margolis, but here he is talking cheap. How in the hell Mush is different from Zia? Both dictators came through back door by kicking elected governments, one was involved in meaning less Afghan war and later became victim of the same war, the other involved in meaningless war against tribalism. Both are two faces of the same coin---Kiss a$$ of uncle Sam at the cost of Paki people and get dollars for feeding huge army and buying fire power---nothing else
