^ but I think we would be making the same mistake if we labelled anyone who opposed Taliban as secular or pro-West/America. Secularism does not equal la-deeniyat or promotion of fahaashi. I am sure even a liberal like Hoodbhoy does not want Pakistan to become 'westernised' in that sense.
Pakistan is already westernized.
Coming from a military family, I can tell you this.
Our Army sypmathizes with the enemy their fighting, and do not wish to fight with them. If it weren't for the generals and politicians Pakistan would be a better off not asking America for their input.
