MUSHARRAF FOES ANNOUNCE THEY WANT TO TALK WITH JIHADISTS

MORE PROOF THAT MUSHARRAF WAS OUR BEST BET, AND HIS VICTORIOUS FOES PART OF THE PROBLEM - WHIO ARE GOING TO MAKE THINGS WORSE; NYTIMES:
The winners of Pakistan’s parliamentary elections said Tuesday that they would take a new approach to fighting Islamic militants by pursuing more dialogue than military confrontation, ...

The two opposition parties share similar views of how to tackle the terrorism problem. The new approach is more likely to be responsive to the consensus of the Pakistani public than was Mr. Musharraf’s and is more likely to shun a heavy hand by the military and rely on dialogue with the militants.


Mr. Zardari said his party would seek talks with the militants in the tribal areas along the Afghan border, where the Taliban and Al Qaeda have carved out a stronghold, as well as with the nationalist militants who have battled the Pakistani Army in Baluchistan Province.

Many in Pakistan, including several parties that boycotted the elections, have been strongly opposed to Mr. Musharraf’s use of the army to battle tribesmen in the name of the campaign against terrorism, which is seen as an American agenda.

We will have a dialogue with those who are up in the mountains and those who are not in Parliament,” Mr. Zardari said. “We want to take all those along who are against Pakistan and working against Pakistan.”

THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT THE THAIS DID - AFTER THEIR COUP, AND THEY GOT THE EXPECTED RESULTS: THE JIHAD IN SOUTHERN THAILAND GOT WORSE.

APPEASEMENT HAS NEVER EVER WORKED - NOT ANYWHERE, NOT ANYTIME.

  • WHAT MAKES THIS EVEN MORE IDIOTIC IN PAKISTAN IS THAT MUSHARRAF HIMSELF TRIED THIS - AND IT HAS ALREADY FAILED.
  • THINGS ARE GOING TO BE GETTING WORSE IN PAKISTAN - AND I PREDICT IT WILL WORSEN IN A HURRY.
  • THE ENEMY WILL SEE THE RESULTS AND THESE COMMENTS BT ZARDARI AND SHARIF AS A GREEN LIGHT.
  • BRACE YOURSELF - AND STAY TUNED...
ASIDE: THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I PREDICTED WOULD BE THE RESULT OF THE OPPOSITION'S WIN: APPEASEMENT AND ALLIANCE WITH THE ENEMY.
