Re: malala k malal main doobay log !
Brother, Drone attacks is not coward way out of problem, it is technologically advance though expensive way to deal with parasites hiding in mountains. Your statement is just like saying, to kill rabies infected dogs using gun (or any weapon) is cowardly way of killing them.
Pakistan only has one way, and that is to send people on ground risking their lives to kill these ‘Taliban’ parasites. Even if Pakistan had drones they could not have afforded to use them [unless USA would have given them charity (Bheek) to use them], as it takes thousands of dollars in fuel to fly them and millions of dollars per strike as cost of missiles drone uses. That means, Pakistan sacrificing their ‘soldiers’ and spending ‘money Pakistan do not have’ to get rid of parasites on mountains, or let those parasites kill 100s of innocent Pakistanis each day.
Fortunately, Americans with their technologically advanced weapon and money is helping Pakistan save not only lives of Pakistani soldiers (who would have sacrificed their lives killing parasites on mountains) but 1000s of innocent Pakistani civilians who would have become victims of these parasites.
Actually, all is happening with consent of Pakistan army and Pakistan government knowing their own resource restraints, so drone strikes are not violation of Pakistan sovereignty, rather a help that anyone takes from outside to get rid of parasites infecting their home.
Till now, Pakistan only asked Americans to get rid of these rabies infected Taliban parasites from tribal areas, as these areas are not manned by Pakistan police nor Pakistani laws exist there. In effect, these areas are not constitutionally part of Pakistan, because Pakistani constitution is not applicable in these areas. Anyhow, if rabies infected Taliban parasites get widely spread in settled areas too, it is possible that Pakistan might ask Americans to get rid of these parasites from settled areas too.
I said its a coward way out because its an easy way out, without the regards of civilians that might be on the ground at the time of attack. Money is not an issue for American govt so lets not bring the price tag in the picture.
