How do we want to spin this?

Great performance by the Army?

Total breakdown of law and order allowing amassing such weaponry for terrorists in the first place?

Just the proud Pakhtoons following their love of weapons as part of traditional culture?




I do not know what to make of this news snippet, taken by itself.

The truth is that there are a lot of terrorist sympathizers in the tribal areas. Otherwise this infiltration of militants would have never happened.
We need to change mindset of tribals or Pakistan will never change. Bring the tribals into mainstream nationalism or terrorists will just keep coming over and over again.

We need to establish permanent cantonments and settle people of various ethnicities in Tribal areas. If tribal can settle anywhere in Pakistan at will, so can other ethnicities in tribal areas. Tribal can no longer be trusted with the safety of areas bordering Afghanistan.

Love is okay. Keeping eyes shut is not.

Problem is that we do both. Army can do no wrong in Pakistan.

Correction: Pakistanis are told to think that the Army can do no wrong in Pakistan.

yes and that is good because army is nothing without the support of people .

 

[tarrar]

Surely only one question arises when a large cache of weapons, explosives & etc are seized, who kept arming these rented bastards?

I agree with you but on the other hand Pakistanis are also taught the the politicians we have are the only saviors of Pakistan. Without them Pakistan will cease to exist.

Once we come out from this thinking and choose highly educated competent people to run the country the country will prosper. Even if it means to grant a honorary Passport to a foreigner to fulfill the constitutional requirements of being a Pakistani citizenship holder.

Their should be term limit on how many times a person can be elected President or Prime Minister.

Why bring from outside? because we a nation of 180+ million do not have competent and highly educated people to run the country. This is what the politicians think (see my first sentence) and are telling the nation since years and years and years.

Interesting idea, settling people of other ethnicities in FATA lol. What would be the incentive for "settlers" in such a dangerous place with not even basic facilities there?. According to pakhtunwali, you can settle there but as serf with no land possession. Even according to FCR, you cant buy land in FATA.

Tribal system has to end, it should be integrated like a province of Pakistan.

There is no such thing as tribal system, its called FCR.
