Re: So Far 1300 Killed in Karachi This Year in Target Killings
There are lessons to be learned from past operations.I believe people from all races are generally good people they become hostages in hand of so called arbitrators of their interests. As long as any action is fair, carefully targeted and without creating undue hardship to normal people it would be successful.But the usual problem is when army or police use long handle and start liquidating bad element without collateral damage though they earn silent support of population (no one would openly support due to fear of reprisal). They tends to loose this goodwill quickly by police using these as threat to extort money from innocent people.On Army might not extort money, but they tends to treat local population as hostile and that would cause resentment in population.Any operation should be swift and targeted, and they make sure they must not lose the war by losing hearts and minds. So far this is the largest failure of our security agencies, be it is valley of Swat , desert of Balochistan or City of Karachi.
