you want to insist that you pose both questions and insist that answers meet your approval - it's not novel but it's plain silly. I'm sorry, Talib are Islamist insurgents, and not "more pashtun" - what the heck does that say about the majority of Pashtun who are not Talib??? I'm patient with you, more than you imagine, I try to give as much space as you require because I sense you are frustrated about something, but I do want you to least "think" - you imagine that you are some some "side of your own" and perhaps you are, but please think
You also want to deal with "guilt by association" - now, I really don't know what you are thinking - associating with enemies of Pakistan qualifies people as enemies of Pakistan - what's so difficult to understand about this??
You wish to insist that the "Pakistan army and airforce bomb people to shreds" - again, you are not thinking and ascribing the worst of motivations to the patriotic armed forces - we target Talib and Al-qaeeida leadership, and we support the drone attacks because it does the same, once we have confidence that we have softenbed them up, we will then move in to kill the talib and Al-qaeeda rank and file, their enablers and their helpers -- what's so difficult or objectionable about that??
muse, i insist you read my point fully and properly and i insist you justify your reasoning, something other than "ISLAMIST", "MUSLIM", or "ISLAMIC" would be a refreshing change
some facts are nice aswell.
and talking of facts you say taliban are definitely more islamist than pashtun? - wow - thats quite something, you are more cia than the cia since you disagree with the former cia afghan chief who says the taliban have a pashtun flavouring/element - BUT NEVER MIND MUSE HAS SPOKEN THE TRUTH, NO FACTS NEEDED - come on, lets be serious and factual.
we have plenty of knowledge about the taliban and their make up, but hey ho, on planet muse everyone is an islamist and everyone needs to be bombed to be cured, says our pak patriot.
You also want to deal with "guilt by association" - now, I really don't know what you are thinking - associating with enemies of Pakistan qualifies people as enemies of Pakistan - what's so difficult to understand about this??
its quite incredible just how gung ho you are about killing pakistanis
you mean to say that suppose there is a family who have no choice but to provide shelter for taliban types then deserved to be killed because of that?
or the sister and wife of a taliban fighter also deserved to be killed?
can i ask why?
the funny thing about you is that you will go mental about the human rights of OTHERS which is no bad thing but have no regard for pakistani's, if you believe in human rights then you believe in human rights, so why are these people suddenly exempt?
you need to understand something, i actually agree with alot of what you say, yet your reasoning and propensity to ascribe eveything to some islamist slant is ridiculous, dangerous and wrong, there is sometimes a shade of grey between black and white.
am sorry but the taliban never have completely been islamist as long as pashtuns have been a part of their makeup, FACT.
you kill one pashtun then you make many more enemies, FACT.
stop with the rampant accusations of islamism, it has its place but its not always the whole issue, capiche?
