@samb

instead of giving a tit for tat reply, after all we’ve seen do you seriously and logically think that the negotiations can be a success?

I had to resort to that seeing Imran Khan being dragged for an issue ignoring so many other things around the country.

@samb

and what will we be “negotiating”? that we will accept Hakimullah Mehsud as the king of Waziristan? that there will no girls’ schools in the north? forget about girls’ school, there will no schools - period. is that what we’re conceding? that everyone will grow a beard? that women will not leave their houses? that we will abolish the court system? is that what we’re “negotiating”? is that what we’re compromising on?

I don’t understand what Imran Khan wants to negotiate on. states don’t negotiate with dakoos, thugs, kidnappers and mass murderers - even if they have beards like the taliban do.

Perhaps he wants to bring them to the table so there can be ceasefire from both sides. “Negotiating” does not mean compromising for everything, I am not an expert of FATA issues but looks like Pakistan lost its attraction to them firstly by changing the laws we agreed upon with them, secondly using them like US uses Pakistan i.e. like a condom, use when needed then trash when not needed. We used them/their-area to support Afghan war of 80s, then we used them for Taliban, then we wanted to use them for foreign forces. When do you say “enough is enough”?

“Shariah”, “school girls” are probably not their bread-butter ideology but most likely a way to hurt our country and make an international ‘cause’.
