**The timing of their leaving and sudden sharp decline in TTP-related violence can hardly be a co-incidence. Nothing-else explains it. Drones or military action alone do not explain it IMO because they have been happening for a while now

**The military should never take over, every sane person shares that view
The threat from military establishment won’t die overnight but civilian governments can certainly minimise that threat by becoming bandey k puttar themselves for a change. They (PPP and PML-N) have no excuse now IMO. They cannot keep blaming the establishment for their own failings while in government. Both have had several chances over the past two decades but unfortunately each government was either as bad as or (in many cases) worse than the previous government. If the elected representatives actually start doing what they are supposed to be doing and **if people could see that they are better off economically during civilian rule than under military governments then there will be no popular appetite for military rule and the threat w’d subside eventually.

The last 4 years have been an absolute shambles as far as governance is concerned. This is the most incompetent and corrupt government in living memory

**Lastly I believe that the elections should be held every 4 not 5 years (as it is in most countries of the world). Maybe the next parliament can do something about it. Pakistanis are impatient folk at the best of times and it is certainly my view that the opposition will exercise greater restraint (and people of Pakistan will have more patience) if they knew that the next elections were not too distant

5 years is just a very long period to have to put up with a nikemi government!

There is no evidence that American “diplomats” have been planting bombs. The spike in bombings happened because of Lal Masjid fiasco. The number of bomb attacks has dropped from 2009 and has lessened considerably way before the Raymond Davies types were expelled.

Do you really think no one would have followed or noted these foreigners regardless of wherever or whoever issued their visas? I have friends who work in hotels in islamabad and they say all foreigners are bugged. They may not have lived in hotels but still their presence would have been noted and followed.

The etsablishment has all the links with the Americans, swallows their aids, visit and invest in USA but then spread rumours that the USA is out to get us so the common man dont swallow any benefits of the given aid.

We have no real idea why the attacks on cities have dropped but if you use the drop in number than goes back to 2009. Arrested would be suicide bombers have never mentionned Americans. The American presence may have curtailed any potential terrorists even.

The current government inherited a country which had some very serious issues ie an angry Sindh, large portions of FATA and KP falling out of Government control, almost daily bombings…some issues which have disappeared under the current Government.

They are not the perfect government and can never be. Zardari is an opportunist and the main players in the PPP should have rebelled against his involvement in political matters. He has damaged the reputation of the party, which to be honest was not even a great party anway.
