The Richard Holbrooke Disaster: Afshin Rattansi talks to Hamid Gul

[ZIVONZivon]

Its simple & clear, no one is against Pakistan, Pakistan has no enemies, no wait, Pakistan is its own enemy, Pakis have always had stupid policies which backfired, pakistan is traped in its own foolish game, they foolishly tried to interffere in the internal affairs of a historic and great nation like Afghanistan, They negativly coment about India and Iran, They openly support the Taliban and Al Qayeda, all evidence of Pakistan traped in its own foolish game, Hamid Gull is still in real power

[Tvdhakla]

Is Gul still on that list of terrorists that the USA sent to the UN?

[Bareilykobans]

Shariat law had already been enforced in Swat in 1996, secondly Pakistani constitution already is Islamic; Pakistan army should not have gone into Swat and allowed the Taliban to destroy schools and stop girls from going to school. Hameed Gul should not have got his daughters educated then.Also he should let Taliban takeover Islamabad where he lives, grow a beard, stop his daughters from working. Taliban don't know shariat they are half literate fanatics defaming Islam

[IranBaastaan]

The Pakistani official sounds pretty reasonable.

I wonder why the Pakistani people are putting up with the overt american aggression against their country.

[Tvdhakla]

Gul? Reasonable? He's not . Have a read and see what you dig up about him.

[Tvdhakla]

IranBastaan asked "I wonder why the Pakistani people are putting up with the overt american aggression against their country."

Because they know that the state of Pakistan is failing them.

[IranBaastaan]

as for reasonable, I base it on his analysis of internal dynamics in Pakistan, which I find to be more or less true.

However bad the state of Pakistan is, it does not justify foreign aggression. Foreign aggression is against the nation, not the state. A good number of people running the show in Pakistan are very much in bed with those who are launching the deadly missile into Pakistan.

[Tvdhakla]

Foreign aggression. Does that include that of the Taliban? Remember much of that activity is from across the border.

[IranBaastaan]

Pakistan is a major contributor to the creation, organization, and up keep of taliban. I Bedides, taliban whether Afghan or Pakistani, are pretty much the same nation, or in short, taliban are not foreign to Pakistan.

[leotakesleo]

hey iran baastaan....ignore him...these are fucking indian hindus....gul is well respected person in pakistan

[IranBaastaan]

Thanks for the note. The way I see, the West is trying to occupy, control, and plunder where it can, and create enemity between the peoples, where it cannot. I can't see how someone from the general neighborhood would support the outside encroachment.

[knnan]

Paki Army the reason behind the deal !
