Redesign the whole anti-terror policy, I personally believe that we didn't have a terror policy during the previous government, PPP left it completely to the Army as if saying 'aye lo payi jaan, tussan day hawalay'. This isn't gonna happen now. Nawaz Sharif will have a far greater output, so will the national assembly.
This achieves two things, a greater scrutiny of the policy (since civilians can be questioned) and a better public perception of the war. This also legitimizes the whole thing since the government will own up to it then. The public will realize it is our own war, we are getting killed not the Yanks...we are getting the most damage, not the Yanks. So first thing is perception.
The second thing to do is to put in a sincere effort. No more good taliban and bad taliban rubbish, anybody who stands up against the state in arms should be blown to hell, PERIOD. A thought out plan be achieved, Taliban have been routed out from Bajaur, Swat, Malakand, South Waziristan and other places, they will be routed out from NW and a couple of other pockets as well. They are on the backfoot, that is why they are going for talks. If we stop the op and talk, they will regroup, and then the talks will collapse and Taliban will have regained their senses by then.
Third thing is for the civilian government to start rehabilitating the people in FATA and introducing them in mainstream. Change the laws for FATA and it's status, make houses and other stuff. Previous government left it to the Army to do the basic rebuilding, houses, sewerage, schools etc. Army isn't the sanitary works organization FFS!
And they accepted the results only because Nawaz Sharif came into power, after 6 months, they will revolt against him as well.
I'll elaborate further a bit later.
even though i agree to you totally.
but a few things i wish to say
FIRSTLY the TTP are not losing if they were losing and on the back foot the daily bombings would have decreased or if not that then the THREAT TTP gave a warning to 3 parties not to campaign and they couldn't dare too!
Secondly, currently even the US wishes to talk to good Taliban. so if they couldn't win after more then a decade and given their military might you think we can?
i personally feel 2 things must be done stop drones & stop supporting the US war on terror and finally build a fence on the afghan border! like the indians did with pakistan!
