I agree with Umar. Mush need to give up his friend-enemy policy. Either make these terrosist friends or declare open war against them.
I think all these bombers came from OBL camps in waziristan. Mush need political will to destroy the enemy and I have no problem with NATO help.
Another thirty killed by a desperate dissilluioned youth fed up with the Chief Minister saga and failure of institutions in Pakistan. He, by chance, happened to come across a car laden with explosives and the planned itenerary of some Chinese engineers and then did exactly what virtually anyone from any religion would do in similar circumstances: expressed his frustrations by blowing bystanders to pieces.
Adnan, could you let me know how to insert a smiley face in here ?
Fatima…
They’ve always been around, but in the past the Pakistani state has used them in Afghanistan and Kashmir, not to mention Xinjiang, Chechnya and against Pakistan’s own Shias… the room for them to operate in these locales is getting limited, and they perceive the support they are used to getting from the state to be wavering, so its no wonder they choose to hit us now, even though there are plenty of us who are skeptical of the drop in support for them, because the army and the ISI haven’t cut off all their ties to them, and probably never will…
While I agree with you that its a no-win situation for Mush, I’d say that if he cares even a little for the future of this country, he would cut off all ties with the militants now and brave the repercussions… there will be reprisals, but I think its something we have to bear, given the alternative of not cutting off ties with them and then watching them make us even more of a pariah at the international level and leaving us at the mercy of the militants locally who will undoubtedly increase in influence if the patronage from the state continues…
spot on Bhindighosht!
I agree that America is definitely building a case to move into Pakistan. If anyone remembers, this is exactly how they started moving into Afghanistan and Iraq. Its unfortunate really. I feel bad for Musharraf because on the one hand he needs to appease the terrorists so they stop attacking while on the other hand he needs to appease America. There’s really no winning for him. I have a question for everyone actually: where do you think these terrorists (with supposed links to al-qaeda) have suddenly sprung up from? As far as I remember we never had to deal with anything of this sort in the 90s. So why now? Is it possible that they comprise of Afghani refugees?
12 killed near hub chowky. When will we getrid of Hajjaj of 21st century?
Another suicide bombing kills two in Hungoo. But if it’s getting annoying for the “blame everything on America and Jews” crowd, I’ll just stop counting.
btw, if American media could build a case to force government policy, America would be out of Iraq, would have socialized medicine and Bush would have been impeached already.
Yeah, good point… the repercussions of such an act could be enormous… the Chomsky reference is a good one… I keep reading comments by Americans on the internet along the lines of “if they can’t fix their own backyard we have to go do it”… yet again, to use yet another beaten-to-death line, the chickens are here to roost, and they are roosting loud and clear… I think this regime and any regime that follows is in a no-win situation… damned if they do, and damned if they don’t… if they try to fix the Federally Administered Trouble Areas, there will be a backlash, and if they don’t, the Americans will try to, provoking an even bigger backlash… just goes to show how this should’ve never been allowed to happen…
On a side note, there is an editorial in the Daily Times about the extremist attempts to hit the PPP:
