Re: How to tackle militancy?
Military action is not a solution in itself. You have to educate the public and bring them out of ignorance and dark ages. You also need to create employment opportunities for the millions of youth that join the job market every year.
Re: How to tackle militancy?
**Unless military, ISI, people like IK, N$ and his cronies, JI, JUI, the old alliance of MMA, will not condemn and act against Taliban, nothing unfortunately will happen. TTP whose origin is in Punjab has to be eliminated with full force forgetting any blood relations like civil war of America. Otherwise These kinds of gruesome acts will continue if these above well wishers exist in Pakistan. **
Do Pakistanis have enough courage to do that? If not then remember the saying of Ismail Merthi,
“warna khao peo oar chalay jaao”
Military has to take the first step in “criticising” these attacks then hopefully sheep like IK, NS will follow but I don’t expect JI, Mullah Fazlu to still condemn anything against the so-called thekeydaar of Islams. Military MUST take action against the militants, the longer they snooze the lesser chance that they will have a country to rule 10-15 years later.
**I was wondering why the US is unable to target the training camps of Taliban. **They make all kinds of hue and cry that there are safe havens and training camps inside pakistan. They also have no qualms attacking the top leadership of Taliban inside Pakistan. Why do they not attack the training camps of these guys? I would guess that that is a much easier target and won’t result in as much bad press as drone attacks which result in collateral damage.
Or is my whole premise false and there are no training camps? Do they get all their training in the field then?
Dismantling of so-called madrassas, which are by and large incubators for religious nut-jobs, must be part of any strategy to fight this menace.

There would be some training camps in NWA, but most of them are in eastern Afghanistan where neither the US has any hold not are they interested. They don’t care about TTP, their concern in alqaeda and afghan taleban.
Re: How to tackle militancy?
Exactly. Pakistani military’s actions have killed more civilians than the US drones.
Re: How to tackle militancy?
I try to avoid posting my opinions in things that relate to Pakistan only. However, as an Indian, I have a vested interest in this as well.
With all due respect, Pakistan’s militancy problem didn’t pop up over night. It was nurtured and raised over the course of decades. Any solutions will take a long time. The way to start, is by getting jobs for the young men that see no hope for their future. That’s how you break the back of the militancy. You take away their soldiers. You give the young men hope and a way to earn a living. Once they have skin in the game and a lively hood, they’re not going to want to ruin it.
Put away the guns, and break out the checkbooks. Otherwise…it’s all just idle talk!

Re: How to tackle militancy?
You mean has not spread yet? What is the difference if a Lahore based group attacking India and a NWFP based group attacking Karachi.
Re: How to tackle militancy?
^ it has been controlled to some extent during the past few years, without that it wouldnt take long for Pakistan to convert into Mali.
