It took too long. Pakistan's state institutions are too weak to act decisively at the early stages of problems. In my judgment that's because the military realizes now it can't operate without some sort of popular support, whereas the politicians either see themselves as subordinate functionaries or are reluctant to endorse military operations because they have so little control over them: not only can they not promote divisional commanders and above, but they cannot remove commanders who act badly or criminal.Well it was a difficult decision because there are two mind sets in Pakistan , one still believes that negotiations are the only solution n live in a fool's paradise by relating these terrorists with religion, the other group is of view enough is enough n Aps attack was actually the last hit to it . All we needed is to decide it once n for all that no mercy for anyone in the name of religion . Here we are with least attacks as compared to previous years so the hundred cuts will heal soon as we are on the right track finally
Yet one cannot yield the civilians too much power or else you'll have another Z.A.B. or N. Sharif try to elevate himself to dictator.
It's not clear to me how to redress this imbalance but why isn't it being discussed?
