The US and Pakistan are just as committed to this war on terror today, as they were at the very beginning. Both nations have passed the test of time and continue to move forward knowing there is work to be done. At times people applaud our actions and at times we face the brunt of criticism. But the ultimate goal of both nations is to defeat terrorism and have a region free and clear of terrorist activities.
South Waziristan is home to a large number of militants in the country. One project aims to stabilize the area by discouraging people from joining the militants. The construction of a highway is underway, and it is expected to be completed by 2013.The project will not only boost the economy but also offer new opportunities by connecting the region with the major cities of Pakistan as well as Afghanistan. 81 million dollars in funds will be made available soon, with most of it coming from the US. The idea behind the project is that it will bring prosperity and wealth to the area, and people will opt for opportunities and better their life. According to Zahid Raja, spokesmen for the armys construction and civil engineering wing, When the economy prospers, mindsets change. When there is opportunity for business and commercial activities, people focus on that and less on violence. That is how there is an overall impact on security.
Dear readers, the facts remain for us to determine the truth. Taliban and their counterparts burn schools and attack children, while the US is helping to build schools and create jobs in the region. Talibans dream is to suppress the region under their extreme totalitarian regime, and our nations are hard at work in thwarting that agenda. We will continue to work together for the betterment of our nations, and our commitment to this war on terror will not end until the region is free and clear of terrorism.
