Re: Lot Of Work Is Required
^ I don't know. CIA's operations over the years are a good indicator of what they are capable of. Its not just a lot of people in Pakistan, I have even met a few very capable people from South India and Australia who believe USA is playing very dirty in the region. I am yet to be convinced USA doesn't have an active destructive role here. With ever increasing casualties in this stupid war and pressures from allied countries, USA did need help from Pakistan military for not-so-embarrassing exit from Afghanistan. For me, it doesn't really matter who is behind the bombings, but that force would be badly hurt if we can get hold of those who are training and brainwashing these bombers.
Regardless of that, you do not go and start a military operation within a country WITHOUT a propaganda initiative convincing people that it is in their own interests. People living in Karachi, Lahore or USA might be convinced that it is the only way to go, but those who are directly effected by the conflict are NOT. So, I agree with Iconoclast that a lot of work is needed in terms of convincing people and trying to get them on our side and that work should have begun much earlier than the actual military operation.
