Your suggestions demonstrate your lack of understanding. NATO failed and our already-stretched military should have another Ukraine in Afghanistan?
First, please get this through your head: ALL security policy is made at GHQ. It doesn't matter what the F a planted PM or one hanging by the thread of a tenuous coalition says.
Second: Terrorism in Pak is essentially a cross-border issue. Without sanctuary for leadership in neighboring countries, terror movements would have a very hard time sustaining themselves.
Third: The Gens are therefore responsible for deterring such activity. The strategic dimwits helming national security have failed to raise the cost for Afg, India, or anybody else wanting to harm Pakistan. You can keep killing as many terrorists as you want, but you cannot win this type of war without introducing consequences for their backers. But they don't have the sophistication or will to do that.
Conclusion: the blame might be shared, but the lion's share goes to the Army, since everything is in their control: they can bully the courts, they can pick up and torture politicians, they can make and break governments, etc. So, even if it's "civilian failure," it's failure that GHQ either enabled or allowed.
Back on topic: peace only comes through strength. Improvement only comes through deep dissatisfaction with the status quo. Our establishment is the opposite. They love the status quo and pat themselves on the back for the current "achievements."

Like GHQ, busy with political games.
