People that are surprised with such views are the ones who have been ill informed. There are millions of Pakistanis with such views. And not just Pakistan. Every Islamic country has millions of such people. Which is why the world has a big problem coming...............

Rational thought to consider costs and benefits is an afterthought for the mullahs. First they will act based on their worldview. It should be apparent than one can expect the mullahs to be Anti-USA.

Well in this case it wouldn't be creating. Just equipping. But yeah, your point remains.

If true this is a mistake by the US imo. There are no good guys in this civil war. I would argue that some of these rebel groups coming into power will be more dangerous for the US and the world than Assad. The US should have let things play out and sit it out for now.

Even if they are cleared from charges they are still not safe. In fact I bet they are more likely to die if they are cleared. Some defenders of Islam will come and kill them extra judicially. This happens all the time in Pakistan.

I can't imagine if this man was the Prime Minister right now. We are so lucky that this delusional man lost the elections, but the problem is that the other party that is soft on the TTP (PMLN) has won, so there shall still be trouble.

Well, surely the people who argue as such should be able to point out the death squads of...

Appeasers believe that if you keep on throwing steaks to a tiger, the tiger will become a vegetarian.

PESHAWAR: Despite a degree of optimism and feel-good impression generated by the militant-handpicked committee, insiders believe the first direct face-to-face interaction with militants has hit a stalemate and unless some quick decisions are taken, it will be difficult to prolong the ceasefire...

Imran Khan is delusional. He has the ability to do all kinds of mental gymnastics to apologize and justify the Taliban. The irony is that if the Taliban were to come into power one day they would take his head off too for having such a "yuppy" view of them.

True True. Maine toh popcorn nikal liye hain aage ke dinon ke liye :)

^^ Who voted for Nawaz Sharif...........Americans? Did not the likes of Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan get votes based on a campaign of peace talks with the Taliban. They certainly weren't talking about military operations as their solution for this problem. So it means that the Pakistani people...
