OT..................
This is shocking, military actions in this day and age are not condonable, no one can condone it, this was nothing but 'broad day light banditry' and 'hi-treason' in my opinion. This is condemnable. We need immediate installation of a civilian set up (AS MUCH CRIPPLED IT MAY BE) and need army to back to barracks. This trampling of 'constitution' makes me feel so poor, depressed and annoyed that 'why us only in the world can go to these extremes' this is making mockery of what we call constitution.
Whatever the reasons, the generals with heavy boots have killed the nascent democracy in the bud that we Pakistanis were trying to build. They should realize the economy is 'bad' because 600,000 standing army needs 8% of the GDP and that cannot go on for ever. To cut the last pound of flesh and demand from politicians to keep begging for more is not going to work. This time around the hardest hit will be their own interest, no one trusts our commitments and no one like this belligerency in our attitudes. The economic impact of this action would traumatise the country for long term. What can I say I am ashamed that I have to see this today, I wish as a nation we could have had little tolerance, little love little forebearance and and less of this urge to keep fighting a futile battle ofr nothing, that is destroying us..

<<...first they try to start a war with India...and now this...>>
They screwed up big time, they waged the war with India, and now are pissed off as political government withdrew them from what would have been an annihilation if 4th July agreement would not be in place. The issue here is of restraining of our generals and instill in them the ability to understand the wastefulness of continuing holy jihad, what is the purpose of it? The fighting man in our nation fail to realise that we cannot keep up with $ defense spending, we just don't have them we need schools, housing and food on all these counts we have nothing to show to the world, coup detats are disgrace and things of past, I feel bad and sour.. |
