At the end of the day, we ALL want Pakistan to prosper. We all want it to be a safe and secure homeland. We are going through a really crucial phase in the history of our nation and insha Allah, we ALL will see it through… one way or the other (Ameen).

Who said Soldiers are responsible for this mess? It’s the high command, the generals and majors. Who are taking over civil institutions and running them ON DUTY. I can understand the greed is the major factor here, but come on how they can do two jobs at once. Of course, the result is they suck at their both jobs (one is duty and other is reward) just like the Mushie.

PS. It’s giving Punjab a bad name as most officers happen to be from Punjab province. Iknow the difference but common men don’t.

I’d request once more to please not see the Pakistan Army as traitors and an incompetent force that needs to be dismantled. Do you know how our soldiers feel when they are touted as cowards and incompetent? Have you ever tried to take their interview instead? Not a general but a simple soldier? A contingent of them who have come back from Swat was in Chaklala Cantt last night and they had tears in their eyes. They had a set back with the order to move back and ‘give’ ground to those militants. Couple that with the fact that the very people they were trying to protect (us all) are the one’s who hate them more than the ones they are fighting. For God’s sake, they are humans too… they are not invincible! Don’t just see them in the light of an enforced emergency that has been put in to practice by a General that has over stayed his tenure as the Chief of Army Staff.

Why protest against the Emergency only? If you feel those militants in Swat are wrong then why not protest against them as well?

In that time, domestic terrorism has increased. Foreign and homegrown jihadis flocked to sanctuaries in northwestern Pakistan, where al-Qaeda and a resurgent Taliban plot and prepare for a comeback. Read More here

BTW what brainless MMA is saying baout all this, they are as much responsible of this destruction than anyone else.

Don’t talk into circles – IF Army was protecting the borders we weren’t having this problem but one person can’t do two jobs. Our Army first lost half of the country and created Bangladesh and now they even can’t control the areas between Afghanistan an Pakistan. About not protesting in Zia’s time, I guess you were very young, people protested and there were public hangings and lashings. The hypocrite Zia sends his kids to the American schools and helped his family to be settled in the US and for his awam to dislearn everything besides killing, wow he really did give Islam a real boost.

BTW what is done is done now Musharaff was doing the good by modernizing the society but he need to come over the radicalized factor in the Army and likes of Ijaz ul Haq in his government who publicly said suicide bombing is service to Islam.

BTW Emergency was necessary to control these fanatics who are spreading to our cities. I too have reservations about these developements (Pak flags removed from Taliban-held areas in Swat) and these things don’r just happen in a day someone inside the government were backing them.
