American Attack in North Waziristan
|
It seems to me that the American attacks are now just another thing in the daily life of our country. As we are now becoming used to suicide bombings and fighting between our military and terrorists, the American attacks and killing of innocent civilians is another addition to the daily news of death and destruction emanating from the War on Terror. Lets hope our politicians stop their internal fighting and rise to the occassison and save Pakistan from the American and terrorists attacks that are increasing day by day and resulting in the killing of hundreds of innocent civilians. I don’t understand why we are so enslaved by Americans that we cant even protect our own people against their unprovoked aggressions. What would our leaders do if the innocent civilians that are killed every day included their own children as well? Why we are showing in difference to the Americans?

Before blaming americans (nato), i think we should do something abt our local taliban insurgency, they r the main reason behind these attack. Now even the afghani taliban have started to condemn these terrorist & have announced to stop these so called pakistani taliban crossing afghan border.

As a young officer commissioned in the PAF, I share deep emotional ties with Pakistan. It pains me a lot to see Pakistan’s slide to chaos and religious extremism over the years. The resurgence of Taliban activities in FATA and its spillover effect in Afghanistan will surely invite response from the NATO forces operating there. In fact, it would be strategically the right choice to attack the bases where the enemy trains, regroups and recuperates. If Pakistan cannot guard its own territory from Talibans, surely NATO and even Afghan forces will come in. Barak Obama has clearly spelt it out.
Bring your house to order, or others will step in to do the job. It appears to me that years of running banks, insurance, real estate, hotels and airport services have take the fighting spirit out of the Pakistani forces, especially the officers. Who would like to die in a barren hill top when you have palatial abodes in the DHA? I wish Pakistan could fight off the religious bigots from all strata of their national life and the world community come to their assistance instead of only criticising their inaction.
Hmm. Sana isnt negligence of the past 60 years and the poverty emnating from it one of the main causes of all this evil. Governments used the tribal areas as if they are some disposable area that can be used to clean the Afghan mess. Now we are finding it difficult to clean our dustbin.
1. The colonial “Grand Game” (for cultural influence and control of natural resources) has been hard to quit but must be to avoid sustaining reversions to war through proxy, which, partly, is how we got here.
2. Dispersed populations in remote mountainous regions are not easily governed by centralized authorities. The logistical facts of life that enable and help secure autonomous cultures, which may be as good a thing as bad, undermine the continuous presence and reach of large military services.
3. Warfare, whatever the reasoning and wherever it blooms, comes down more viciously on people who are not fighting in affected regions than those who are.
4. As regards militant action, moral arbitration takes place in each aware mind–simply put, we make judgments about stories even as we hear them–so if one hears of the destruction of, say, a music shop for its other than Islamic character and is comforted by that, a certain decision has been reached–but if disturbed by the same news, another conclusion has been reached but perhaps not given expression in action.
5. No one knows a backyard–desert, steppe, mountain, forest, or river–like those who own it. Every single armed Islamic conflict in play today, from Lebanon to Somalia to Iraq and Pakistan and elsewhere, is first and foremost a local conflict.
