Gillard's Karzai Solution Dangerous
Gillard's Karzai Solution As Dangerous As Afghanistan Theatre
"If reports by today's Australian newspaper are to be taken seriously, then Prime Minister Julia Gillard is about to announce the Karzai Solution, where in a "pact" with Afghanistan she expect guarantees for safety for Hazaras from the Karzai government, then she's either dreaming or lying about the prognosis of safety for Hazaras to the Australian electorate," WA Human Rights group Project SafeCom said this morning.
"In the context of the "pact plans" Gillard's media lines of the last couple of days about "opening up the debate" are her first brazen political misrepresentation of the facts since winning office, and we will not forget. Neither will the thousands of Hazaras forget, or the family members of those Gillard plans to send back to the war theatre, ready for point-blank-range targeted killings, beheadings or other ways the Taliban will think of to kill Hazaras," spokesman Jack H Smit said.
