Re: Malala’s father Ziauddin Yusufzai named special UN advisor on education!
I have compassion for the people who have to live there, not for the leadership. The US is part of the problem, but making excuses for the Taliban is also part of the problem. There are millions of people in Pakistan who think as you do, who feel that if we listened to the Taliban, they would stop the violence. It is this kind of misguided sympathy that results in a divided military and government. The country should have a unified response to Taliban violence, which would give the government a mandate to act. Instead we have excuses. We saw how the Taliban would run things: Afghanistan. Negotiate with them, but realize that they’re terrorists, not misunderstood outcasts who need, or want, our friendship.
As for their position, I think shooting a girl was pretty self explanatory. They also shot some charity workers recently. You think the problem is that we aren’t sympathetic enough?
