Talibanic wild fires have engulfed Afghani south for many years now. Like an out of control fire, or more aptly like a deadly cancer it has been spreading into three agencies of Pakistan. These agencies include N. Wazirastan, S. Wasirastan, and Bajore area of Malakand agency.
Pakistan has try to "contain" this cancer by selectively taking out talibanic supporters in the three agencies. However this is just a partial and short term solution.
A surgeon operating on a breast cancer patient cannot treat her until all the cancerous nodes including the one in the breast are totally removed. However if you take out the cancer in the arms or abdomen, but leave the breast cancer intact, you will be fighting a losing battle.
Similarly Pakistan can fight Waziris and Bajoris with all its might, but the Talibanic cancer won't go away. We must take out this cancer right from the Talibanic heartland of Kandhar.
We should do it soon, otherwise our cities like Bannu, Kohat, DI Khan, and Peshawar will soon resemble the Talibanic jannat cities of Kabul, Jalalabad, Kandhar etc.
