Re: Bannu Jirga gives deadline to Taliban...
Beg to disagree.
We don't need to support one jirga against the other. If someone wants to do positive stuff, they should join police, FC, or other law enforcement agencies. Arms should only be used by the state-mandated agencies.
We don't live in the time of vigilante justice where every Tom, Dick, and Harry (Anwar Khan, Aslam Khan, and Gulab khan) can take their guns out and shoot people in the streets.
We should not tolerate tribal behavior even from those who want to do good thing.
The time to be tribal is over, and time to be civilized is here. The sooner we realize this, the better it is for all of us.
Jinnah didnt have any problem with these tribes. Thats how they have lived for ages. if you want to impose your defination of civilized life, then my friend, its not them but you who is living ages behind. So much for freedom.
I say, we do what Jinnah did, let the tribes live their lives like they choose to as long as it doesnt produce terrorists.
