Re: Make FATA a separate province: Khattak
Pak-one, you are dancing around in circles.

Hollow words. They don't mean jack, much like the sinmplistic understanding of the FATA conflict. Isn't it rich for Pakistanis to be critical of the US/West when they see Muslim=Terrorists, yet the very same people have no problems doing the same thing to their countrymen.
**
And my point about syria was that you don't see suicide bombings and internal unrest their from islamists, now do you? And yes force is not the only answer, but force along with other actions will have to be used. **
No no let's revisit this again:
From that thread:
I stated:
*
Religion and religious parties have a strong role in ending this civil strife in Pakistan. By bringing them to the table, will allow us all to break out of this situation without further bloodshed. Name ONE Islamic movement that has been dismantled violently in a Muslim Majority country? You will find no examples. If you want to try out the brilliant Hamas vs. Fatah route of Palestine or the Muslim Brotherhood clampdown in Egypt go right ahead. Unlike many people here, I am calling for minimizing Pakistani bloodshed.*
to which you responded:
*
Ok, I won’t even mention what Assad did in Syria….oops I just did. But anyways, you are only delaying much greater bloodshed through these fake peace deals.
*
Not so cheeky now? This after I dismantled your arguement that an Islamic movement was dismantled in Syria. Did you not think that I considered Asad in Hama, Syria?
We were talking about dismantling movements, now your talking about suicide bombings and internal unrest AFTER being discredited on the earlier point. Face it, your arguement/credibility were destryed at that point. Trying to cop-out of it all now is just sad.
**
If not by Pakistan, then by NATO/US, force will be used. It's just a matter of when. Whether it will work or not, who knows, but many many in FATA will die if they don't change their ways. That is the reality you don't want to accept. Instead of just saying nobody understands FATA, and nobody can stop their terrorism, understand that they are not immortal.**
This resort to violence will screw up Pakistan regardless of the Pakistani/US/NATO involvement. The US has done such a brilliant job in securing Iraq and Afghanistan that FATA/Pakistan will be a cakewalk right? Terrorism will be eradicated? Hah, I would be happy to be wrong om this one.
Expect more suicide bombings in urban areas, the dispersion of foreign extremists throughout Pakistan and lots more military casualties. I didn't say NOBODY understood FATA, I was just referring to your company of arm chair analysts who make statements like "bomb them all." Pakistani military understands and understood when they made agreements in the past.
In regards to immortality, no one understands life and death more than the people of FATA. Forget terrorism, blood feuds and the availability of weapons has allowed them to know that their life could end at any given point.
Like I said, watch this space, lets revisit it all in a few months.
