the reality is that swaves of the army and intelligence establishment AND population (not majority, but enough) support this radical form of islam. the taliban are nothing without this backing, these people who are let my ideas of ideological state formation.
taliban are scum, but if government is not moving against them then they must suffer the consequences. why arent they forcing taliban into a hole, crushing them?
there is lack of political will!
pakistan will (sadly) have an islamist revolution one tehsil at a time unless someone wakes up and slaps those bearded ******** we all hate so much.
