The Pakistan Economy Watch
(PEW) on Monday said a US
attack on Pakistan would be a mistake as our country is not
as weak as Iraq and
Afghanistan and it will not
offer easy victories to an over-
stretched and dejected army.
Lashing out at old ally Pakistan is known American
style to blame others for its
humiliating failures, it said.
US took action against
Cambodia when it failed to
win Vietnam War and now they are planning to repeat
the mistake without realising
that their troops in
Afghanistan are not away
from Pakistan, said Dr. Murtaza
Mughal, President of the Pakistan Economy Watch.
Talking to former officers of
armed forces, he said that the
US military has developed
habit to attack small, weak
nations but the pentagon experts who advocate
attacking Pakistan are playing
with fire. Such policies have
already ruined American
economy, he added.
He said that Pakistan can consider abandoning
cooperation in war on terror
and offer general amnesty to
all insurgents to ensure peace.
Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that
US is directly involved in recent attacks on Pakistani borders
in which many security
personnel were killed.
At the occasion, President of
Pakistan Ex-Servicemen
Society Lt. Gen (retd) Faiz Ali Chishti said that we are
responsible for most of the
problems.
He said that Pakistan needs a
ruthless civilian administrator
and a proper accountability system without which
Pakistan will continue to
suffer.
Other officials including Sq.
Ldr. (retd) Liaquat Ansari, Col.
(retd) Inam Rahim, Col. (retd) Khalid Mehmood, Col. (retd)
Sajjad and others said that
Abbottabad operation was a
drama that has flopped.
They said that announcing
amnesty for warriors is in the national interest. The former
military officials said that many
service members were
awarded illegal punishments
during Musharraf’s era and
now they should be given a right to challenge sentences in
the High Courts.
India had allowed right to
appeal to the members of
armed forces in 2007 which
majority of the countries have done so decades back but
Pakistan is yet to move in this
direction, they said.
He said that defendants are
not provided record of the
proceedings which is against fundamental human rights,
Constitution, and justice
