Re: Is Pakistan slipping into civil war?
There isn't enough support for anything violent anywhere in Pakistan other than Waziarastan, although there is sentiment against taking any strong actions against the 'Muslim brothers up North." This is perhaps the most tragic part of the situation, a population segment comprising a few hundreds of thousands (Wazirastan fanatics + FATA + NWFP fanatics) is holding a country of 160 million hostage to their violence. Otherwise, no matter how much people dislike Musharraf they dont have a taste for bombings. You dont see suicide bombers from Sheikhupurrah or Sakkhar.
Because you didnt need the people from Sheikhupora and Sakkar when you needed somebody to fight your holy wars in Afghanistan and Kashmir. We prepared and trained these people for own interest and motivate them to fight the holy war but now our interest is changed but how can we convince these people that the holy war has become terrorism with the change of interest.
Bechare gullible people dont understand the game of interest.
