Should Pakistan act against the Taliban and Kashmiri groups simultaneously?

Pakistan would do a very bad mistake by opening double fronts.Let these groups die on their own.Slowly cut their funding sources but don't mess with BLA or These Gorups right now.Right now we should worry about Talibans only.

This is what this thread was supposed to be about - the limitations or advantages of going after both sets of groups simultaneously, and not the usual 'Freedom fighter vs Terrorist' or 'history of the Kashmir Dispute' arguments.

Can we refocus please?

I think the hardcore remnants of the kashmiri groups have joined the remnants of other groups to form a part of the "pakistani taliban" so in a sense pakistan is acting against both the taliban and kashmiri groups.
I think about 90% of the kashmiri fighters followed the pakistani govt line and where given jobs by the state,its the last 10% that are the problem.

Supporting pro-Pakistan militia and attacking anti-Pakistan militia will take you only so far. As long as you have these "semi-state-sponsored-non-state-actors" around, the potential threat to Pakistan will remain in place.

This is time for decisive action on all fronts to put and end to Islamists of all shades and stripes.

Also, times have changed in world politics. Supporting these militant outfits will keep Pakistan among the list of pariah states who use semi-trained and indoctrinated militia to further their agenda. Maybe its time for Pakistan to act as a mature state and use legitimate means.

It's very easy and not complicated at all. Instead of resorting to blame games, painting doom scenario's etc. the problems could be addressed effectively.

The PA needs all the support it can get from its so-called allies to combat the insurgents effectively. That means moral, financial and military support. No more blame games or seeding of any mistrust. Period. Any denial would mean a serious blow to effectively combating the insurgents. Also, the fighting on the ground and drone targeting needs to be undertaken by the PA. The PA requires drones which should be part of the military package. Any foreigners on Pakistani soil will only complicate matters. The sovereignty of Pakistan needs to be respected at all times. Pakistan needs full guarantees that India isn't going to undertake any anti-Pakistan activities from across the border in Afghanistan. Pakistan should be helped in erecting an electronic fence with bordering Afghanistan in order to curb illegal border crossing. Lame excuses such as ancient border disputes are outdated and ought to be neglected at all cost. Not doing so will result in mistrust and a lack of cooperation in the WoT. We need all the necessary equipment etc. in order to erect such an effective fence. The allies will need to be sincere in solving the problems at hand and not taking sides etc. Any side taking will result in a lack of trust. In the meanwhile, we shouldn't expect any miracles. It will take time to eradicate the problem. To be more blunt, you either help us, or face the dire consequences. It's as simple as that and no rocket science involved.

Kashmir, Baluchistan etc. are totally separate problems and need to be addressed as such.

As some one suggested in US, pakistan is the only country putting a gun to its head and is negotiating..!!!! And if you where successfull ind doing it yourselves americans wouldnt have send in drones.. as i have read reports of ISI intercepts being tracked by americans warning the militants before every iminent crackdown on the terrorists..!!!

Such kind of news definitely raises doubts regarding the sincierity or the ability of the pakistani nation to fight terrorism..!!! I believe hence this drone attacks..!!! But now is the time i guess you need to take tough decision.. either go after them and make no distinction between the terrorists who thretens your existance or the terrorists who threatnes the peace in my country..!!!! or let these talibanis spread their tentaticles slowely in your society and to a point that there wont be any good or bad terrorists but just terrorists..!!!
