Let us look at the events coolly.
APC declared that we would like to find a solution to terrorism thru dialogue. Very good if you can resolve a problem without fighting, what could be better? However dialogue has two sides. Kindly refer to:

The news in the Guardian states:

But he made clear that any deal acceptable to the TTP would have to lead to the imposition of Sharia law in the country and an end to CIA drone strikes in Pakistan's troubled borderlands which have killed scores of senior militants.
It is unlikely the government could deliver either demand even if it wanted to.
He said the TTP's campaign would not end after the withdrawal of US combat troops from
Afghanistanby the end of next year. Many Pakistanis blame the US presence in the region for the instability that has plagued the country in the last decade.
"America is one of the two reasons we have to conduct a jihad against Pakistan," he said. "The other reason is that Pakistan's system is unIslamic, and we want it replaced with an Islamic system”

From this it is logical to conclude that dialogue with Taliban under Pakistan’s Constitution is impossible.
My question is not directed to supporters of the anti-Pakistan forces, but I ask all Pakistanis who have deep seated love for the Pakistan as conceived by the Quaid and the founding fathers:
Firstly; was Pakistan created so that “anti-Pakistan Theocrats” who were dead against creation of Pakistan should take it over? Taliban don’t believe in democracy, so once they get power Pakistan is doomed for ever.
Secondly, Pakistan has no control over Drones, how can we stop these? Obviously TTP want us to go to war with US. This would surely result in Pakistan Army being destroyed and thus make it easier for the TTP to take over. Why can’t Imran Khan & Nawaz Sharif foresee this?
Finally, drones are from the US, why don’t TTP go and attack US targets in Afghanistan or in the US. (Instead they are in cohorts with Afghani Intelligence to weaken Pakistan state). Why kill innocent Pakistani civilians in revenge? Kill Pak Army if you think that they are siding with your enemy but how an ordinary civilian is responsible?
Despite the above that misguided Taliban Khan is crying his heart out that his beloved butcher of Col. Imam is now dead? Why don’t you cry for the thousands of innocent Pakistanis killed by the hell bound Hakimullah?
I have never claimed monopoly on patriotism but this deep love for the self-confessed worst criminals in the history of humanity somehow baffles me. Either a section of Pakistan polity has no love for Pakistan State of they are a bunch of cowards who would rather sell Pakistan than face the Taliban menace head on. But then I am old man who has seen Pakistan from her birth, who cares what I think.?
