Although the world is making a big deal about a small band of thugs twittering around in the mountains and trying to be big men by wearing masks and black turbans to scare the local populace, I personally do not see the Talibans as a threat to the existence of Pakistan or any other derivative thereof. Interestingly the Talibans share a lot with our similar friends from Sri Lanka, The TAMILS. a few comparisons.
1. Centralized leader who speaks on behalf of the entire lot.
2. Using suicide bombing as a tool of fear and intimidation.
3. Targeting of Government buildings and infrastructure.
4. Targeting of military and para military soldiers.
5. Using the means of certain uniform & so called military discipline to scare and intimidate the local people into submission.
6. Getting arms & funding from neighboring countries.
7. Mostly a rag tag band of mercenaries using smaller arms and lacking air power or armored and/ or artillery power.
8. Being restricted to a certain enclosed geographic location inside the country.
However, Pakistan should only let this show run for the time period it is worthwhile to squeeze the US and its cronies into believing that soon a black turban thug would be sitting on the Presidential mantle and looking for the nuke button. Such scare tactics work well provided they remain controlled by all means.
Time will soon however come and these over zealous religiously twisted goons will eventually be mowed down like weeds by the Pakistan Army. However that time will remain of our choosing and after we have acquired the purpose of keeping this bogey alive.
