Re: NYT: Pakistan to Talk With Militants, New Leaders Say
suicide bombers similar to IRA? ridiculous concept. what the two munnay forgot to realise was that IRA was not using northern Ireland to launch attacks on lets say soviet union.
This is not just Pakistan's problem, and the big issue militants have with Pakistan is that it is trying to stop their attacks on NATO forces in Afghanistan, and sheltering al qaeda types in the tribal area.
Nawaz and Asif and do whatever they want, can they convince Al Qaeda of not launching any attacks in US or Europe or elsewhere? or will they convince Pakistani Taleban to stop crossing the border into Afghanistan and attacking NATO forces?
If they can do it, then..like wow. But I have my doubts.
btw guess what happens if there is one major attack on US soil and it is tracked back to FATA.
lets just say it will not be asif or nawaz's call. but Bush, Mccain, Clinton or Obama's call.
Very Good point.
