Whenever the issue of terrorism is discussed, people say that it is not our war and we have been pushed in America’s war. There were no suicide attacks before 2004 but our stance of siding with US is what has made the extremists go berserk. Pls analyze the fundamental question: “Is this our war or not? and What should have been our strategy post 911 to avoid the troubles we are facing today?”

To answer your question is very simple. War on terror is not war of words but war of weapons and armed fighting. When we talk about armed fighting where army is involved, than to determine whose war army is fighting, one should ask few questions, and answer becomes clear:

1: Is army fighting within border of own country?
2: Is army fighting those who are challenging writ of state?
3: Is army fighting those who are armed and fighting back?

If answers to above questions are ‘YES’ then war is Pakistani war.

I believe, war on terror Pakistan army is fighting within Pakistan own border, is Pakistani war, because answer to all above in ‘Pakistan war on terror case’ is yes.
