Re: tribal areas solution
pir jee, thats exactly what those guys were trained for, they were not going to be involved in combat (face to face) but to extract targets etc.
in any tribe, there are those who are the high and mighty, if you remove them there is always a power struggle for there position, and in doing so with financial help you can have pro govt. people in those positions, and if it doesn't work then you can start all over again.
and for those who think this is fictitious, it might be. :)
yeah but the issue is that qaum will have khujli that oh no muslims are killing muslims, so hey lets address a bunch of their issues, its not the army, its not US its not nato, its not muslims, its outsourced to mercenaries ... atleast all these other objections will go away :)
