Pakistan is rocked by a terrorist attack nearly every other day. Half of them don't make the news. They are just as concerned about the Islamic
Fundamentalists and radicals operating within in their own borders.
These guys actually have a voice inside Pakistan's political process and they're gaining a lot of support too, that's the scary part.
Pakistan suffers way more from terrorism. Their tribal areas like Waziristan are not even under their authority anymore, this matter is completely
beyond their control, they don't decide when and how the Taliban attacks civilians.
Don't be so narrow-minded and hawkish people. Invading Pakistan?
Lol... that's a new one, I don't hear too many Republicans backing that just yet.
Pakistan has been a US ally in combating militants in Afghanistan for years now, where do you think all the Intel America needs on the Afghanis comes
from?
You should take some time out to investigate how much of this 'terrorism' Pakistan has cultivated and bred since the late 80s. Just because they are
unable to control the monstrosity that they conceived and nurtured, they cannot shirk responsibility of starting it all.
Its not invading Pakistan. Thats what the west did in Iraq. Its going into Pakistan under a UN mandate, to remove these extremist elements once and
for all. Will do a whole lot of good for everyone including Pakistan in the long run.
Let the UN force be from Islamic countries, or 'neutral' countries like China, Russia etc.
I would wait till the conclusive facts are in, rather than assuming Pakistan is at fault.
What conclusive facts do you expect to unearth?
1)Uncontrolled elements beyond the powers of Pakistan are to blame?
2)Elements that operate with sovereign Pakistani soil unchallenged?
What good does that do anyone? Its an extremely convenient excuse that FYI Pakistan has been using for the better part of the last 2 decades, BEFORE
9/11 et al.
I)If a nation is unable to govern its own territories the it is a failed state; however it still has the right to rectify the situation as long as the
adverse effects are contained within its borders.
II)If a nation is unable to control activities on its soil that adversely affect other nation states, then it NEEDS external help, whether it admits
it or not.
III)And if it DOES control these activities then it is conducting a proxy war and it needs to reprimanded anyways.
Simple. No real area for doubt and ambiguity here.
