We all feared this would happen and it has happened. We might be stuck in an endless war of attrition with the Taliban.
I have personally never believed that talks with the Taliban could work. They are mere barbarians but even I am suspicious about the timing of this US drone strike. I am forced to remember the time of Nek Muhammed when an treaty had been signed by the Pakistan army with Nek Mohammed and the drones came and killed him. The US always screws whatever plans we have.
In any case we need to increase efforts to eliminate the Taliban ourselves, without US interference. These are our enemies. The TTP or Pakistani Taliban have caused little or no damage to America but have caused severe damage to Pakistan. They are responsible for 40000-50000 casualties in the war on terror. This is our bit of the war. I say leave LET, leave Haqqani, Hekmatyar, Nazir and Gul Bahadur... but atleast go after your enemies like the Pakistani Taliban with full force.
Instead all I have seen the security agencies do is chase people with no link to terrorism. I am really concerned about the future of my country. Also to all those who believe talks would do magic I would like you to remember Swat. What did talks do there. The militants only used the opportunity to not only enter Swats cities like Mingora but also took over Buner.
