Re: TTP set conditions for talks
Thats your thought process. They are NOT isolated. They are living peaceful lives there and destroying peace of rest of the country 
IK was against swat operation and it proved right. This menace is still there. Taking its ugly head again DESPITE full time military deployment there. Now is this how we intend to live rest of our lives and is this how we plan to tackle this? Most definitely now.
We need military operation but not a gung ho full fledged operations because It will never succeed in the long run. We may win the battle but war will go on and on.
I suggest you read both of them. One is the unbelievably long Tamil insurgency in Sri Lanka and one is IRA insurgency in Northern Ireland. And both involved some political means aided by Military. Were civilians not killed in both insurgencies? Yes they were. But in the end long lasting peace came after a political solution complimented by military action. Now I am not saying our enemy is exactly similar but we need to take lessons from these. Our enemy is different but one thing is common. Its not afraid to die and willing to do anything to capture what they need.
Botton line is: When your enemy is not afraid to die and has a mindset creeping in the whole region (FATA etc), its time to improvise which we are failing to do
