If you have jazba for the country then try to put some sense in Imran Niazi’s radical mind. I am afraid this arrogant egotistic person will send Pakistan down the drain even further if he comes to power (God forbid).

Instead of criticising Imran, why don’t you criticise the person (Musharraf) who created this mess in the first place? Although I consider Musharraf’s period (1999-2002) better than the present corrupt and useless government, he was wong to send troops into South Waziristan in 2005. History has proven that. Were there any suicide attacks in Pakistan pre-2005? The answer is **NO

**And drones are adding to the problem

It is clear that the Americans want us to do all the dirty work for them and then conveniently leave when it suits them. As much as I despise terrorists, Pak government and military would again be making a big mistake if they conceded to US pressure and sent troops into North Waziristan. Ofcourse if you have accurate intelligence, you should act and go after known criminals but bombing an entire area will only exacerbate the problem of extremism.

@Reverse_Swing

One should indeed go after known criminals and extremists but bombing an entire area under the pretext of combating terrorism can never be a solution. It will only perpetuate the problem of extremism and give birth to more terrorists. **Ultimately there has to be some sort of political solution…educating these people and giving them hope via strategic economic projects to combat poverty and to create jobs.

Operation in South Waziristan in 2005 gave birth to TTP.** Hell knows what will happen if and when we launch an operation in North Waziristan and how many more innocents will have to die in revenge attacks.
