It is incredible and horrifying how the narrative has changed post-Peshawar attack. The magnitude of the atrocity was such that culpability had to be fixed and action had to be taken and hence here you have it; the failings of the Generals become those of the judges overnight. The ISPR has written the book on spinning horrendous failures into PR successes. The OBL fiasco was turned into a failure of the civilian government to protect sovereignty, etc. The Commando would have delivered Kargil on a platter had the civilian Prime Minister not messed up. When a major journalist is shot, the issue is not who shot him and why, etc., but whose picture was flashed for how long. In a nutshell, all of this is an extension of the argument that there are military takeovers because the “civilian class” is not up to the task. The adventurers are blameless since they cannot resist the temptation when they see an opening. tribune.pk/story/816738/less-democracy-is-the-answer/
