this does not excuse the suicide bombing of innocent civilians which has been the taliban's major flaw.
if your forgettingthe taliban are trying to assert their control over pakistan and they will be the cause of the break up of it.
you either support the ctaliban or yousupport pakistan. theres really no other option.
What happens when innocents are bombed? Putting aside drone attacks, and other shelled areas, what will those innocent people do?
They'll take their own revenge, by suicide bombings, ambushes, and planned attacks.
Thats the real threat.
Thats what Pakistan should try to stop. By bombing a phantom threat, and trying to fill up a number sheet to please the American government ( who do not hold Pakistan as an ally in reality ) the Pak army is just heading towards a disastrous path.
