I'm sure terrorists didn't wanted to harm the members of parliment they only wanted to destroy infrastructure. So that 'loan inc.' (present day GoP) can get more loan.

Your passive approach to the militant threat is the reason we are in this mess. Musharraf had the right idea about being pro-active than reactive when he went into WANA. He knew that Waziristan was a breeding ground for terrorism and he went in full force only to be criticized by the lame arse politicians and the whole country started criticizing him for his actions without thinking of the consequences that would follow.

Few knew what he was doing was right because these militants would than pose a threat all across the northern frontier. What happened after that? You and I both know... If Musharraf was allowed to do what he wanted in WANA we wouldn't have the Bajaur Problem, nor would we have the SWAT problem..

When it comes to militants you have to be Pro Active and strike them down before they pull that rusty trigger. I like Israel's approach to counter terrorism and its about time we do the same, thinking ahead of the curve

Jehadi Mullahism actually started from Zia era, Musharaf tried to elimate them but failed because these organisation have stronge links with your donars and even with top security officers.All miltery dictators have this common problem that to extend rule they always needed support of under world.

I would like to invite your knid attention towards other jehadi or gurrilla movements in middle east PLO,KURD,HIZBULLAH , it is possible to control their action but you could not eliminate them completely because of geographical and regional political conditions.


To completely up root this jehadi terrorism we also need a operation clean up in army,civil servents,police,politicians to delink their supply and information channels.

Surely you aren't accusing the Pakistan Military for supposedly harboring/supporting terrorists right? The very same people that kill our military personnel or who we are fighting today. The Intelligence has no reason to delink any information, they are doing what needs to be done

Complete elimination is obviously impossible, but containing them and striking militants down before they act is very much possible. Though the Government needs to step up its game with regards to building infrastructure and other social programs in these regions

Several detained in raids on madaris
Published: August 11, 2009

LAHORE - The police on Monday carried out raids on some religious madrassas in different areas of the City and took into custody several students.
The police sources said that the raids were conducted on the directions of the police high-ups to check the presence of those foreign students who did not show their identity.
The action was taken as a preventive measure to stop any possible reaction from madrassas’ students after the reports of the death of Baitullah Mehsud.
The sources said that more than one dozen students had been taken into custody by the teams of police officials when they failed to produce documents pertaining to their identity. They have been shifted to undisclosed places for interrogation.
Most of the arrests came from the religious seminaries situated in the city police and Iqbal Town police divisions. The police teams thoroughly searched some madrassas on the information provided by the law-enforcement agencies and examined the record of the students studying there.
The police officials also directed the administrations of the seminaries to keep complete record of their students and the people visiting to meet these students.
When contacted SP City Police Division Zeshan Asghar denied any raid or arrest on the religious madrassas saying that the police were just visiting to check record of the foreign students. He said that purpose to visit these religious schools was to keep an eye on the suspected students.
To a question, he said police were not instructed by the high-ups to conduct raids at the madrassas.

very well said! Now why do you think Musharraf wasn't allowed to do what he wanted in the first place? because he was a dictator, an illegal ruler. It didn't matter what he did was right or wrong. At the end of the day people knew that he's not their leader. Imagine he didn't come into power in a coup, imagine he was just army chief following the orders of a democratic gov't, WANA would have been cleared and Swat wouldn't have happen...something that we're doing right now, people's gov't, people's approval, no one's out protesting the operation in massive rallies. That's why you'd rather have a messed up, disfunctional democracy than good dictatorship.

Pakistan was meant to be ruled by the Law, a state of the people by the people!

The idea of Pakistan is an idea that lives in hearts and minds! Pakistan is Law, Pakistan is Truth, Pakistan is Freedom, Democracy and Liberty............ for Muslims and Non-Muslims.

But most importantly, Pakistan is Righteousness even when the whole world is about Wrong.

You can never accept a wrong (Musharraf) just because it feels good or you find it right! Two wrongs never make a right! Either there is Constitution and Law and therefore Pakistan or there is No Law, No Constitution and any Mother ****** can Rule us

Pakistan was meant to be the Ideal Islamic Welfare State, where Law reigned Supreme under God and everyone was equal in it, both Muslim and Non-Muslim. When you break this, you break Pakistan!

Now do you understand!

PS: I forgot, i just rephrased some of the good views iPhone expressed, cheers Iphone

 

[iPhone]

No, I dont. are you saying that Pakistan shouldn't be ruled by a constitution that we should abolish the constitution of Pakistan?

finally - something we agree on.

You said it - beyond the militants themsevles, there is a mullah-military-foreign donor nexus that must be targeted.

Mullah: as in JI ideologues and sectarian groups

Military: mostly retired officers infatuated with the proxy jihad doctrine

Foreign Donors: Salafi Arabs in the Gulf providing financial and ideological support.

Well Retired Officers can't do much but they should be given less tv time like General Hamid Gul who praise Talibans whenever he comes on TV

What about those who bash the Talibans whenever they come on TV?

No offence Patriot but just a thought. What i wanted to say is that the media should be unbiased, they should ONLY show the true picture, both the angles and give equal exposure to both the sides and let the public make up their mind according to their own wish.

Here are few examples:

When army was not acting in Swat they bashed the army like hell, now when they are kicking the terrorists in Swat they bash the terrorists equally. Now they should support the military in their actions and boost their morale but then i personally feel that the media should just 'convey' the news without providing their 'opinion'.

When CJP was on the roads the media portrayed him like a God, (though i am for the restoration of FREE judiciary and happy that they are working well now) but then the media shouldnt take sides.

Etc etc...

Not to forget the Lal Masjid when likes of hamid mir were yelling at the top of their voice "dekhain na the redicals have taken Islamabad into their hands and army is doing nohting, but when army did the operation at last as a last resort the same moroon was saying "yeh dekhain na choti choti bachyan mar dee hain"
