Re: Taliban supporters threaten retaliation for Pakistan bombing
Fraudia bhai, its easy to say that the tribals invited it unto them and justify the bombing, but if it really were the "intelligence" providing location of "suspect" where was the intelligence when the "suspect" was living probably some house? some cave? some hole? If a house was blasted taking the family of tribal alongwith "suspect" one may not have much of argument, but if you blast a place sacred to local population killing largely innocent "children" and the main suspect absconding no one should be defending such an act.
Re: Taliban supporters threaten retaliation for Pakistan bombing
most ppl here are talking with respect to the information provided by the ISPR or dummy govt of pakistan.
PPL in those areas have out ritely said there were no foreign fighters there and it was ONLY a madrassah.
nobody seems to be beliving them.. its just one sided face of this DAJJAL system that it only sees with one eye ..the eye of terror..
How many mor pro talibans have these idiots created with this single stroke.
besides there was going to be a pact between tribals and the govt. just like it was done for waziristan.. somebody reli wanted to sabotage this and thats wat was acheived by this massacre.
Re: Taliban supporters threaten retaliation for Pakistan bombing
I am repeatng someone’s circular logic to illustrate that when the same concept is used from the opposing point of view, one may not like it, and thus the inherent issue with such a concept to begin with.
Re: Taliban supporters threaten retaliation for Pakistan bombing
Very very interesting responses. I mean I have problems with government on this act but I do not think they derserve the revenge or anything. I mean more than half of Americans hate Bush and his policies but not a single one of them want him to be killed by a person affected by Iraq war or Katrina. I do not know why we have this kind of sick mentality of killing?
Re: Taliban supporters threaten retaliation for Pakistan bombing
The million dollar question is this, if the US gets tactical information on terrorists in some school in central lahore. They bomb it, Musharraf says he has proof there were terrorists involved ..and it was a Pak army decision..what would your response be?
Re: Taliban supporters threaten retaliation for Pakistan bombing
^ Well, excessive use of power is never hailed in any society and looking at Pakistan and its polarization of people, I do not think it will get majority of support but again when do we together as a nation condem a terrorist attack on either Shia or Sunni mosque?
Re: Taliban supporters threaten retaliation for Pakistan bombing
if 80 pakistani soldiers were killed you would be defending the taliban nazis and saying that pakistani army should not even go there....
That land is Pakistani Land and as such government presence is necessary and if not what use is that land to pakistan when we can't even govern it?
America is cultivating religious madness and Musharaf is nurturing it for them.
This masacare will only fuel the fire and increase hatred. It will only increase extremism in the country killing of more innocent people...
Imagine the emotional outburst of relative of these people who died ...only one or two of them might be foreigners but rest were locals
... their brothers , fathers... imagine their rage and fury against the army and Govt.
In retaliation they will attack Pakistan army, and kill lower rank sipoy or hawaldar who had no role to play in this indiscriminate killing who are just doing their duty and earning a meger living.
To understand the phenomena watch the movie The peacemaker ( George clooney, Nicole Kidman ). The rage can make you insane There is a reaction of every action, but sometime deadly beyond imagination.
Prevez Musharaf is doing the same. He is increasing fanaticism in the country. Just like USA is doing all over the world
Re: Taliban supporters threaten retaliation for Pakistan bombing
I understand that the act by government was wrong but why are we supporting killing and Taliban on this? Is this the solution, are they going to make Pakistan a better place to live?
Re: Taliban supporters threaten retaliation for Pakistan bombing
I dont think it was sacred to the local population, Just a madrassah, and really, the most the religious parties can mass is a couple of hundred in Peshawar to demonstrate, and a couple of thousand in Bajaur.
I think most of the tribals even understand what went on had to be done. They're not stupid..they know they would rather have paki forces doing the searching, than American forces, who will do it if the paki forces do not.
Re: Taliban supporters threaten retaliation for Pakistan bombing
MWB: There is a huge difference between violence within a country and violence from an extrnal force. If one were to substitute the words US in my previous post with Indian would you still have the same response?
LB: Again while i don't disagree, Pakistans educational system is not exactly running spectacularly, and secondly the growth in madrassahs is again a product of the 1980's, and something the people who died had little to do with..still thats a moot point..if it was central lahore and it happened..would you be surprised if people were angry and furious with the US and Mushys government?
Re: Taliban supporters threaten retaliation for Pakistan bombing
in your opinion madrassa is not a sacred place for people? it may not be as 'sacred' as mosque but people do value it more than a residence/commercial venue for it contains copies of Quran and other religious texts.
Re: Taliban supporters threaten retaliation for Pakistan bombing
Where are the pictures of the children that people say were killed in the so-called school? I have seen no pictures of any dead children or parents waving around pictures of allegedly killed children.
