Imran just wants negotiations , so we can save some lives . I think anyone who talks about a peaceful settlement we should encourage him .
^ that has got to be the only solution, the British did the same with the IRA
Peaceful settlement ... for what and with whom? These retards and IRA are two different things.
IRA was fighting for their rights, fighting against discrimination they (Irish) suffers in UK, fighting for independence of the area they live, fighting to join their mother country (Ireland), etc. Their war was related to ‘Them’ and ‘United Kingdom’.
TTP is not fighting for their right, against any sort of discrimination they suffer in Pakistan, independence of the area they live, or anything to do with them and State (Pakistan). Actually, their war is not with Pakistan as state. Their war is war of ideology, their ideology that they want to impose over other Pakistanis by force. For that, TTP and their retarded supporters are willing to destroy properties, kill innocent civilians, spread terrorism all over Pakistan, and fight State (Pakistan).
We should remember that if these retards (TTP) were fighting for their rights within the country, were fighting against discrimination if they suffer, against their exploitation, against persecuted, or were even fighting for independence, well if they were fighting for anything to do with them and State, than one could have talked to them and could have come to an amicable solution.
Unfortunately, their (Taliban) war is nothing to do with them that state can give them, but their (TTP) war is to persecute and subjugate other Pakistanis so that to enforce their (TTP) ideology on them, it is duty of State (Pakistan), as protector of all Pakistanis, to fight these retards without any talk, giving them two options, death or unconditional surrender (certainly, there is no place for talk with them).
