Remarking on his numbers just shows you don't have any real argument, in my personal opinion.<BR/><BR/>No one said "we don't have the right to criticize him", all that was said is that there are real reasons to do so -- and this interview is not one of them. <BR/><BR/>I agreed with him whole-heartedly.<BR/><BR/>And you - we should of course agree or disagree with the war, not the number of casualties.Jacques Beau Verthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450947780950412676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23381380.post-1159451736035610352006-09-28T09:55:00.000-04:002006-09-28T09:55:00.000-04:00Dr Syndrome: It does seem that Western armies are ...Dr Syndrome: It does seem that Western armies are less eager to accept casualties. While that's good in the sense that soldiers have more protective armour and other stuff, it's not good in the sense of deciding which missions to undertake (even if it is necessary).<BR/><BR/>Red Tory: Yup, Musharraf got his figures wrong. 37 dead as far as I know, as of current time.<BR/><BR/>knb: Yes he was trying to sell his own book, and as I said, we have every right to criticize him for other violations. Musharraf has to solve the women's issues in Pakistan first and foremost. Pakistan also has a Sindhi dominated political culture which has led to tribals such as NWFP and Balochistan becoming disillusioned with the central government.mezbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450639860657867772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23381380.post-1159445341748789442006-09-28T08:09:00.000-04:002006-09-28T08:09:00.000-04:00Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has refused t...<I>Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has refused to clamp down on pro-Taliban elements in his own country and is allowing the militants to launch attacks on Canadian troops, a security expert says.<BR/><BR/>Canadian officers stationed in southern Afghanistan increasingly find young Pakistani men among the ranks of Taliban fighters who have trained in the radical mosques of Pakistan.</I><BR/><BR/>Since by this account, Musharraf could be called partly responsible for the deaths of some of our soldiers, we have every right to criticize him, IMO.<BR/><BR/>Those of us not in favour of this mission, are under no illusion that there are casualties when we take on such missions. However that does not mean we don't mourn every death, nor does it mean that Musharref has the right to tell Canadians how upset they can or cannot be when we lose a soldier.<BR/><BR/>The man is out flogging a book for god's sake!<BR/><BR/>When people in his own country have rights, I'll give him latitude to comment on the rights of other nations, though I still won't agree with him. Until then, I suggest he go home and clean his own house before judging other's.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291881352139075405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23381380.post-1159445164625827372006-09-28T08:06:00.000-04:002006-09-28T08:06:00.000-04:00It would be nice if Musharraf got his facts straig...It would be nice if Musharraf got his facts straight to begin with. He claims that Canadian casualties are two to four or five.
