WHO CRIES FOR PERVEZ MUSHARRAF? SURELY, NOT ANYONE SENSIBLE !

A few tears seem to be shed for Pervez Musharraf in India today once he has now decided to step down for saving his skin after some of the usual false bravado of the Pakistani commando has failed. The same happened to General Niazi who surrendered to the Indian Army in East Pakistan along with 99,000 of his crack Baluch soldiers in 1971.

Every Indian should have only one goal and that is what is good for India must always prevail. Mush was NOT good for India. Whether he was good for Pakistan or not is no concern of Indians. Let the Pakistanis decide. He was a slimy rat that sneaked in terrorists and Pakistani army regulars into Kargil even as our "Secular Saffronite" Vajpayee was embracing Mia Nawaz Sharif in Lahore.

Mush has always hunted with the hounds and run with the hare whether it was India or the US. What happens to Pakistan hereafter is no concern of India as India's problems have always been of its own doing and that is having no POLITICAL WILL to combat Paki intransigence, cross-border terrorism or even putting down the separatist elements in Kashmir with a firm hand in the past or even now. The single Nehru mantra of appeasement as a solution for all such problems has never worked for the last 60 years and nor will it work in the next 60 years.

If America can threaten Pakistan of using the internationally accepted doctrine of "Hot Pursuit" against the Taliban or Jihadis for attacking NATO forces in Afghanistan and then scooting into their safe haven in Pakistan, why can't India, an adjacent country that has had the highest number of casualties inflicted on it by Islamic terrorism follow this same principle? Surely, it is due to lack of POLITICAL WILL that arises out of an unfounded fear that springs from a firm belief in a self created myth that doing this may alienate the Indian Muslim voters whose sympathies lie across the border. This is not only costing the country dear in so many innocent lives being lost daily, which includes Indians of all faiths, but is also most uncharitable to Indian Muslims as a whole.
