Re: tough luck al qaeda supporters
First of all, it is all illusive dream of some cuckoo brain that Musharraf is so popular or so unpopular, because popularity anywhere in the world is comparative term. There is no such thing as absolute popularity. It means that even if A is not considered popular, A is popular more than B, and in that sense A is still popular.
If anti Musharraf elements were popular than they would have brought people on roads and would have got a change in Pakistan, and than there would have been no Musharraf in power but because anti-Musharrf forces are not popular, Musharraf is in power and thus it also means that Musharraf is popular (that only means that he is popular than the rest).
Now don’t start saying that anti-Musharraf forces are popular but we could not see their popularity because people prefer to watch TV and do not come on the road. If that is case than again it means that anti-Musharraf forces in Pakistan are not popular enough to bring any changes, or in other words, Musharraf is popular enough that anti-Musharraf forces could not bring their own supporters on road against Musharraf.
As for Musharraf killing own people, that is biggest farce I have heard. Own people, who? Those who break laws and then take up arms against the state are criminals and when criminals get killed fighting the state than one cannot say that state is killing own people. People of Lal Masjid were criminals, who were harassing other people around them and were challenging the writ of state. They were land grabber too, and grabbed other people’s (or state) lands using force to construct Madrasa as well as extend mosque. They occupied State Library by force and were breaking laws as their right. They started implementing their own laws in the area around them confronting state. Such criminals cannot be tolerated in any state. Pakistan tolerated them for months and that was wrong, as no state should tolerate such elements for even a day. Pakistan should have used state power to punish them badly earlier and if they decided not to obey state laws (as they did) than they should have received military action, as in the end Pakistan did.
As for Fisadis, they are not even Pakistanis. Fasadis neither recognise Pakistan as a Country nor recognise government of Pakistan. For them, they have own agenda where an Uzbeks, an Arab, an Afghan, or anyone they recognise as their group are closer to them in ideology and nationality than Pakistanis, and these retards consider them foreigners co-citizen more than Pakistanis. They just want to use Pakistani lands as vehicle of convenience to spread their retarded ideology, but do not even recognise Pakistani border, recognise Pakistan laws, or care for it. They are threat to Pakistan as country and had to be dealt as traitors (if they are from Pakistan) or invaders (if foreigners). They should be fought against and should be killed unless they surrender. [A large element fighting Pakistan from Lal Masjid was similar traitors].
I do not think that Pakistan army killing them or giving them good thrashing is bad or one can consider that Pakistan (or Musharraf government) is killing own people. If I was in place of Musharraf, I would have been harsher to them and their supporters than Musharraf government.
How can you judge Mush popularity by the fact that he is still in power!
Was he elected? Is he answerable to anyone?
A dictators popularity is not gauged by the people, because the dictator isnt answerable to the people.. If Mush were elected, you might have a case, but as a dictator he is nothing but a dictator...
And I can see you dont like the word unpopular, so lets put it this way, if poles are anything to go by, there are MORE people who DONT support this dictator then do, so he really is MORE unpopular then popular.... Is that better?
In a fair election, Mush would NOT be in power according to these poles.
Fact of the matter is, Mush is in power because he has the danda of the Army and riot police on his side.. Anyone who is against him is made to disappear...
