[Lion Of Pakistan]

The problem is Afghan brainwashing.
Some Afghans I have met talk ill of Pakistan.
They have been told some fake or propaganda story against Pakistan.
They look up to India more as a friend than Pakistan.
This is slowly turning Afghanistan against Pakistan.

Then we have this Pathan VS Punjabi mentality.
Pakistan needs to give more importance to people of Waziristan and Balochistan and make them feel like they are part of Pakistan.
Because a few Pathans think that the Punjabis are out to get them.

Another thing is Pakistan should NEVER attack(kill, kidnap, etc.) any **SUSPECTED** militants, unless they really know that they are actual militants.

This is what is making all these militants coming out and creating problems inside Pakistan
And ofcourse its also agents from other countries paying them and all that good stuff.

Inshallah, PAKISTAN WILL SUCCEED.

PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!

Army is resorting to Armed Militias to maintain “tranquility” in Swat. That’s what we call the “Rule of Law”. This is the Taliban model of governance; Army is proving it RIGHT.

This is a war so yes the locals will fight and stand by their own Army, that is what we call a people's war sir...do not confuse it with the terrorists regime of Taliban...this is controlled by State to protect the innocents and does not sanction the merciless killing spree so heartily perpetrated by TTP.
This is the only successful way to deal with the organized terrorist threat, one cannot keep locals out of loop in COIN.

Quite a stretch of the imagination to compare this with what TTP was doing...TTP model of governance includes head chopping and terrorizing the population into submission...the Army on the other hand is keeping thousands of these scumbags alive...quite a bit of difference in mentalities but visible to those who wish to see it.

Lashkar is centuries old practice of Pushtuns. Taliban are only 2 decades old and no one will remember them in the next 2. Taliban model of governance includes a sword and a suicide jacket.

Your level of ignorance is astounding.
