Scapegoat no doubt but for different reasons
by ACM on Jun 06, 2008 10:47 PM

Yes - AQ Khan was made a scapegoat by Musharaf. But the reason is not what AQ Khan is harking about. Actually, he's turning the tables directly on the west for this. The simple fact is that Pakistan got nuclear technology in stealth from China and ex-friends USA. Then they sold this to North Korea to obtain missile technology for self preservation. Now, when the cat was out of the bag, Gen Musharaf appointed AQ Khan as scapegoat - who's in turn trying to use the sympathy of public on him hatred of the West (USA) in Pakistan to try to turn the tables on the west. He'll succeed - not because he's right - but because he has the favourable conditions.
This is the history of history - it's always on the side of the people in favourable circumstances - justice be damned.
