This is more true for Afghanistan where Nato has raped children, urinated on dead bodies, burned the Quran and gone on killing sprees for sport. In Afghanistan you are definitely the bigger enemy than the Taliban.

2332 Afghans killed last year by the taliban might disagree with your statment.
Every so often we simply fail to realize that the terrorists pose as much of a threat to Pakistan as they do to the U.S. Unfortunately, we allow our differences to gain control and then seek refuge in the blame game. The reality is that these terrorists take full advantage of our differences. The question whether this is our war answers itself when you begin separating facts from fiction. Pakistan has lost thousands of innocent civilians and thousands of security personnel to the acts of terror. The truth is that the threat is still prevalent in the region, and we are suffering at the hands of the same terrorists.
Last month an Associated Press reporter and photographer were allowed to follow Pakistani soldiers on the Kalpani base near the Af/Pak border. These brave soldiers are protecting the frontlines under very harsh conditions. One of the soldiers said: "This is my country. I am a Pakistani. I don't see that anyone who destroys our schools, our masjids (mosques), kills people, is good for my country; if they were working for a better Pakistan, we wouldn't be sitting in this post. The people would be supporting them against us." Another soldier said: "They are the enemy. They are not working for Pakistan. They are telling us that we have to do everything their way."
We must ask ourselves if we are supporting our soldiers by taking the attention off the terrorists by regularly highlighting our differences. We should remind ourselves that those protecting the front lines hold no confusion in regards to who poses the threat to our nations. Therefore, the responsibility of holding the obvious miscreants to account also rests with us. We must bring justice to those killed and fully support our forces in eliminating the threat that continues to haunt the region.

@Asim - America was not even in the region not a very long time back.. Then some idiots thought about taking stupid mission of hitting at the heart of America and Americans.. I am sorry to say that invited all the hell to Taliban/AQ folks and rightfully so. So you can not simply get away by saying America started these wars. The war was started by act of terrorism and will not end until America feel its safe to do so. Also keep in mind, wars does cause civilian causalities that's unfortunate but a bitter fact..
yup thats why they are negotiating with taleban now....with an office in qatar and turkey.

no he's not pakistani, mods did IP check on him i think
So what one thousand people died in America so America decides to kill 150,000 plus (counting in Pakistan). Such psycho people should be locked up in a mental asylum then.
9/11 was peanuts compared to what America has done to us all, 9/11 is no excuse.
That's totally wrong way of looking at it. 9/11 was a kind a big tsunami for America. It not only killed 3000+ people but also sent the economy of the nation down the drain and it impacted lives of millions.. It was a one of the biggest attack in recent time and that too on a super power.. Psychological impact of it was humongous. There were very bright chances of nuclear strikes at few places but saner minds did not let that happen at least. A war was started and America responded in kind. The causalities on the other side was always expected to be high considering who they were fighting with..
You can not simply blame America for the whole issue. There were many players/party to this including Pakistan as well.. You guys had to simply pay the price for part played in the promotion of Wahabi culture in your border region and across the border in Afghanistan..
I didn't blame America for starting the war, I blamed it for a never ending blood thirst. All that you have said America faced with just 3000 deaths, we have faced many times over by 150,000 deaths.
It has to end.
