Well making Pakistan a scapegoat for the failures of the West would not solve the problem either. Pakistan’s blunder was to side with the US in 1979 when they created these monsters in the first place. The US left the job half done in 89 after defeating the Russians, leaving Pakistan to deal with the aftermath. Even now as the Americans blame Pakistan for the insurgency in Afghanistan, all of Eastern Afghanistan and rural areas of South Afghanistan are in talebans control. They left in 89 with an unstable Afghanistan, now they are leaving with two countries destabilized. Some times it helps to formulate policies keeping in view of the history of areas (Afghanistan and FATA) otherwise one keeps on repeating the same mistakes mistakes. Anyways drones are considered by a vast muslim population to be a symbol of US imperialism and arrogance and breeds hatred towards them.

In the end, who do the militants hurt? Pakistan or the US?
