Robert Fisk is too damn right. He has put his hand on the pulse of Pakistani nation and correctly diagnosed the ailment.
60% of Pakistan's surface area has been turned into a battlefield to please the Americans. Our corrupt political and military leaders have Created and fueled extremism in Pakistan to justify their role as "allies" in the Global War on Terror. We are actually low paid camp followers, entitled to less than 2% of the US appropriations on war. The US just could not find cheaper gun fodder anywhere else in the world.
war on terror started in pakistan from the day Soviats withdrew from afghanistan. Dont you remember shia-sunni conflict in which two of our FRIENDS fought their proxy war in our country?
I agree this war got intensified after US invasion but fact remains that we were at war with these terrorists before 911
