Shame on you, Mr Khan

Re: Shame on you, Mr Khan

My take: another one of those ‘fashionable’ articles. All good to bash Imran Khan but If you are so passionate about taliban, come out with ways to eliminate them.

No, you’d come out with stupid thesis like this:

…Let me make another thing clear: Mr Khan says that it is a tragedy for Pakistan to be bombing its own people. Actually, no. States use violence against their own citizens their whole time. A citizen who steals is jailed for theft. A citizen who kills another person is executed for murder. .

The state needs identification and location of the criminal before arresting him/her, takes him/her to court, convicts and then the criminal is put to jail or executed. THIS IS NOT STATE VIOLENCE stupid. State violence would be to bomb the neighborhood where a suspected murderer resides.

@firenze

The same goes for the “root cause” argument. Frankly, I couldn’t care less what inspires or motivates the TTP. I know that the TTP doesn’t accept the legitimacy of my country or my elected government. I know that they kill my fellow citizens. I know that they kill the soldiers who fight for my security. I don’t need to know the “root cause” of the TTP’s beliefs any more than I need to know about the childhood traumas of a psychopath threatening my family.…

Treating symptoms of a disease would not make it go away unless the causes of the disease are eliminated.
