There are two schools on which how to tackle this issue once for all, carpet bombing of FATA or submitting to taleban. The answer is not in both of these options. Should we now forgive taleban, especially after thousands of murders? If they are forgiven what is the guarantee that they wont start spreading to other areas (like they invaded Buner after peace agreement in Swat)? Will they accept Pakistan’s writ? I believe that their higher command must be punished, and the lower ranks should be weaned back into the main stream.

This is a very big and complex challenge. Some people try to confuse this with Srilanka conflict although both are completely different. Srilanka was an island, and the war was essentially between marginalize Tamils and majority Sinhalese. Pakistan has a large porous and problematic border with Afghanistan. Any operation on the Pakistani sides will only push them into Afghanistan. Another thing is that these people are using the name of Islam to confuse people. Hence I believe they should be isolated foremost through the religion itself (like some sort of unanimous fatwa against them and their activities).

Brother.. you are trying to put the cart before the horse. The first step is to declare these killers as criminals and condemn them without ifs and buts.. examples: they are doing this because Americans are doing drone attacks.. or the tribals are not happy… or this war is the war of Islam against infidels.

After the first step is done.. we can talk about the strategy to fight this war. Of course no one is saying that human sensitivities should not be taken in to account.. but we must be prepared for collateral damages. The intention should be to minimize the collateral damage but collateral damage should not be used as a pretext to give up this war against criminals. Our army may also have some casualty.. even civilians may also suffer.. but consensus to recognize these killers as criminals is absolutely necessary.

These criminals do not only kill our innocent citizens.. but they also use our territory to plan and execute militant acts on other nations. This is threatening our security situation with respect to the world. If God forbid one major terrorist action takes place somewhere in the world where 3000-4000 people are killed and links come from Pakistan.. I am afraid the world coalition will start carpet bombing our major cities. If we don’t take action against these criminals today.. I am afraid others will take action against us tomorrow..
