Webby,
I never agreed with his political views or how he treated his people. But the fact is that he was a Pakistani like you and me. And we cannot kill our own people. We have seen this before in 1971. What did PA achieve by killing innocent civilians in Bangladesh. We have seen it again in Wazirstan were PA used force and now they are seeking a political solution.
Killing of bugti will be a dark day in the history of Pakistan. As someone said earlier, Either it will quell the uprising or everyone could be up in arms. I fear the worst has yet to come
An uprising in support of someone who organizes a militia, formulates and conspires the division of Pakistan and kills numerous Pakistani soldiers and foreigners through rockets, bombs and suicide attackers is something worth dealing with.
For this uprising if ever occurred would be illegal, criminal and most importantly treacherous. That should be made clear. Harboring traitors would only postpone this much feared scenario, but it's potential will always remain. One cannot just wish it away or ride the storm out ducking like an ostriche in the sand.
You're right there IS a possibility that a portion of the Baloch population might be up in arms. The entire Baloch population is 6 Million, thus far the militant factory has only been one town. That's less than 10% of the population if EVERYONE was involved.
Pakistan has not been gung ho about this at all. Marri's son was apprehended in Dubai, then 3 top Bughti commanders surrendered, just a couple days ago the Jirga announced the end of the Sardari system, and finally when there was an attack on the PRESIDENT of PAKISTAN, and a trace was established, he was taken out.
Point to be noted that he was taken out whilst firing more rockets onto Pakistani soil.
Firing rockets is not a trend we want to encourage amongst ordinary citizens of Pakistan.
The deed has been done. Lets make it all the more beneficial for Pakistan.
