This is crazy. Can the Pakistani gov't please be responsible for once and shut down all madrassas, pull the students out of those schools and deposit them in government schools, once and for all? Remove the teachers of these madrassas, enroll them in for questioning and interrogation, and then put those responsible for preaching hatred in prison.
That Zardari pagal better not sign any agreement to allow the Taliban to officially establish Sharia law in Swat. He better be toying with them for some time.
And while they're at pumping all this money into defense - how about the military get its act together and develop some intelligent technology to get these guys, rather than periodic indiscriminate drone attacks, which makes the thing worse. And if they have nothing other than drones, then please fly in a whole fleet to do a solid round of bombing to disable them for some time while the military can regroup and go back in.
Its completely humiliating how they've run away. Ridiculous.
Home truths:
Pakistan army is unable to beat TTP. It is a joke, it cannot even secure internal security, and if not for N bombs would be useless externally too.
Some elements of the army support the Islamists.
Madrassahs should be shut down like the cesspits that they are.
