http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/PervezMusharraf/ The air strike on 30 October that killed 83 teachers and students of Madrasa Zia ul Uloom is a big disgrace and shame for the nation. The President and Army Chief – General Pervez Musharraf - gave the details in front of TV cameras himself. He said: 1)he authorised the air assault, 2)2) the site was a militant camp, 3)3) it was, therefore, a legitimate target. The first point is not in doubt; it is he and he alone who could have authorised the air raid inside Pakistan territory whether from a US weapon platform or a Pakistani helicopter. However, the other two points are controversial. The pictures shown on TV of the ‘militant camp’ were of boys engaged in morning PT (physical training) like in every other boy’s school in the country. Even if this particular PT had a more sinister purpose or effect, it was still not a crime. Even if a crime was committed (for which no evidence has been shown on TV or provided by official spokesmen), was an air raid the right response or reaction? If it was not, the person who authorised the raid committed the crime of ‘murder’ of 83 persons. the bombing of the school in Khar sets a bad precedent. The country can no more carry the burden of Musharraf as the sole decision maker. But, what should be done? The people are sick and tired of demonstrations that are routinely ignored by the government. It is important that the two institutions that are supposedly intact – the Army and the Judiciary – should be called upon to ‘punish those responsible and compensate the 83 victims’. If it is determined for certain – about which there is little doubt already - that General Musharraf authorised the raid and the target was not legitimate – the Vice Chief of Army Staff may be asked to perform his duty and authorise the arrest of the COAS – General Musharraf. It would be dereliction of duty if he did order the arrest of General Musharraf even after it became clear that he and he alone is responsible for the murder of 83 teachers and students of the madrasa at Khar in Bajaur. In the USA, Pakistani lawyers should set up a forum and hire the best law firm to sue the DoD for compensation on ‘no win no fee basis’. Dr Syed may like to make the first contacts. Let us not get mad but get even. The USA has run amok and is killing innocents in all parts of the globe. This not the first time the US military have killed people on Pakistan’s territory. However, this strike caused the biggest death toll. No one except the Pakistani and US courts can stop the crazies who rule in Washington and Islamabad. Even if the courts fail, we would not blame ourselves for not having tried. The history will promulgate its verdict on criminals if the courts do not. The courts would then stand indicted as collaborators.
