Re: Lal Masjid Siege Thread (merged)
Remember one important thing: the whole reason, the ONLY reason why this operation is being carried out is to SAVE LIVES. If the forces wanted to kill these people indiscriminately, they would have simply fired a missile or dropped a bomb, and this operation would have been over in 10 seconds and NOT 10 hours.
Before comparing pak forces to others, just keep in mind that the only reason pak forces is taking casualties is to save lives of those women and children. This is indeed a thankless job, and unfortunately not many people will appreciate the fact that every single person who walks out of this compound alive owes his/her life to the forces gallantry.
indeed. in a lot of other places the building would have been flattened by aerial bombing/tanks.
