so what has been the reaction in pak to the targetting of security personnel? nada. zilch. media completely downplays jehadi atrocities while our politicians, instead of uniting the country behind the army, have been destablising pakistan in order to achieve their gunda political aims. politicians have a problem with musharraf - fine. but they can still support battle against jihadis while opposing musharraf. instead everyone blames musharraf for jihadism without offering any alternative solution other than to advocate breaking up cooperation with america. if i was an army officer responsible for fighting jehadis, i would be double crossing my country because pakistanis do not care about people who are willing to pay ultimate price to defend pak

the sad truth is that human life has no or little value in our part of the world. The same question can be asked of the civilian casualties. Innocent people are dying throughout the country and yet the dictator has shown no real sympathy for them. And nowadays we don't eve hear those cosmetic bayanaat from him after any incident of terrorism. On May 12 while MQM was out on a killing rampage, dictator was enjoying bhangra dance from a rent-a-crowd (imagine Bush attending a GOP fundraising gala on 9/11 evening!). In the US if even one person loses his life due to an act of terrorism, entire federal + state machinery would move with full force (case in point: Atlanta Olympics bombing). Around the world, any government's first priority is to protect its citizens against any external or internal threats. So while the government in Pakistan has pretty much left its people at the mercy of those extremists, why would society care to show any concern for security forces ? a simple matter of quid pro quo.
