Mr. Musharraf's statement about the bad policy of the United States proves an old adage ' grapes are sour'. United States funneled billions of dollars along with a military might over many decades to keep Pakistani economy floating. It is the greed of military/ISI nexus in Pakistan along with mismanagement of the economic and screwed up social, cultural and religious policies pursued and influenced by non-state militant actors which ought to be blamed for the failure of Pakistan's regimes. Mr. Musharraf's statement further shows how ungrateful Pakistani leaders are. He states that it was a mistake in recognizing Taliban's government in Afghanistan. I wonder who forced them to do it. If the Pakistani leaders had a long term vision, they would have rejected this idea and kept themselves away from these militants. Speaking of militants, if Pakistani leaders are so upset with these non-state actors, why have not they been able to dismantle their activities in Pakistan itself? Instead, Pakistani government shows bonhomie gesture towards these militants by financing, abetting and organizing their activities especially against India. Since Mr. Musharraf is entangled with many charges including treason, he is trying to gain the sympathy of military establishment in Pakistan by shifting all the blames on the civilian governments. This type of byzantine tact will not work in the long run.
