A few questions for Imran Khan

A few days back, I sent an email to Imran Khan, asking him a few questions through a certain friend of mine, regarding his stance against ‘War on Terror’. And that is because, while I usually agree to what Imran Khan says, I’ve always remained skeptical of his party’s stance. More so because, I am not really sold on the idea of suicide bombings being triggered by motives such as ‘revenge’ and not ideology.

So it is today, that I received a reply, though not written by him but by the Secretary General of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf (equally good for me, since I was interested in questioning their party policy to start with). Do keep in mind that while I am not completely satisfied by his answers, one of the points raised by him did in fact resonate with me i.e. Sri Lanka losing out in the long run, due to a prolonged counter-insurgency war.

Also, while questions raised by me were more of, what you might regard as tactical in nature, his reply to them is keeping in view the strategic reality of Pakistan. Read it in the same light and you’ll see what I’m getting at. What I’d like to know is what do you folks have to say about my questions and their answers.
