Re: Was Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto A Patriot or Otherwise
After the debacle of 71, he was the one who led the country back from the brink and gave the nation a new purpose. He was the one who gave Pakistan a nuclear deterrent. Hardly an act of a traitor?
His biggest mistake was to make an incompetent third rate general like Zia chief of staff and he paid the price for it but also left the nation to suffer the misery of this guy for the next 11 years and in some ways till today.
Nuclear program was in reaction to India's which would have conducted its first test in 1974. Boot-oh wouldn't lose to India again!
AS regards Zia, both Boot-oh and Zia did one right thing (each) in their lives: boot-oh starting a nuclear program and Zia hanging boot-oh.
