Great. So now this thread will get drawn into petty disputes. When we all would learn to stick to the topic?
Zakk bro this writer is high on some smoking stuff. Why else anyone would trivialize Pak army's fight against Arab terror?
What Zia did against anti-Jordan terrorists in 1970s is what Gen. Kiyani is doing against anti-Pakistan terrorists these days.
Thus Zia was fulfilling the role of peace-keeping and a pro-West peace-making commander just like many other Pakistani officers have done since the very inception of Pakistani state.
Why was such a peace-making effort necessary? Because the terrorists in Jordan were trying to extend Communist influence in the region.
Just like communists of the 1970s, Russia of today is supporting terror in the Middle East. The same Russia is supplying money and arms to Taliban as well.
Thus the historic role of Pakistan army remains in place as long as terrorists continue their nefarious plots to kill and injure innocent civilians.
And who can forget the role of Pakistani commandos in clearing the Haram Shareef from the Saudi terrorists back in November of 1979?
So Zakk bro! ask this "truthful" writer to come up with a pack of lies about 1979 too.
p.s. There are many Islamists in Pakistan who want to rewrite Pakistani history. They would have Jinnah looking like a Maulvi and paint Gen. Zia as some kind of beduin. In reality we have most of our generals and leaders as secular and forward looking.
