Our army can and is handling these terrorists much better ..
Why not? We are fighting in our territory, with deep familiarity with the local culture, language, food, and customs.
Sadly though, Islamists among us are attacking the same army and police personal. and Jihadis on the web are egging them on.
.... The result of that mess is what we are seeing in Swat and FATA today. ...
Swat mess started with Sufi Mohammad LOOOOOOONG before 9/11. Jihadis threatened to kill innocent Pakistanis and the Pak government backed down.
The same Jihadis thought they won, and kept on increasing their hold on adjacent areas and occupying government buildings, courts, and police stations.
This was an open act of war by Jihadis against Pakistan, and yet the Jihadi supporters kept blaming the West.
The same "illogic" is working over and over while Jihadis kill and maim innocent women and children.
