Zia carried on the "legacy" but we couldn't afford a hostile Soviet Union in our west. It was inevitable.
As far as Palestenians are concerned, being a Palestenian does not give you a right to bully the country which gave you refuge.
The PLO just made a state within a state in Jordan. Took law in their hands and even started to collect tax and extorted money. Moreover they caused troubles for Jordan by launching cross border attacks. Though u can debate about civilian deaths or so but it was aftereffect.
Zia at that time was just an advisor in Jordan and involved in operational planning only.
You're very sanguine that Zia is being crucified for something he hasnt done, or may be I am inclined at demonizing him. Whatever I've posted about him is what i gleaned from what I read and heard about him. Bhutto wasnt an angel, but he definitely gets more sympathies than ZuH.
ZuH's regime stands out for turning Pak into American bloc, and for using religion as an excuse to curb any opposition. Religion soon became the guiding light for Pakistani constitution (which in my opinion is wrong).
