1. It is true, that when ever a terrorist is assassinated by a targeted strike, is replaced by another and usually a more ruthless leader..but that has not stopped Israelis or even Americans from it. From your own country's example,2. two of your TTP heads and many sub commanders have been assassinated... they have a new leader today, but TTP is a shadow of what it used to be couple of years back...Al Qaida is almost finished.
3.These targeted strike, take time and a need to keep up constant pressure but they do take their toll on these terrorist outfits.(afterall every one fears death, even terrorists)
3. All Musharraf did was, reduce their state funding..there are still many sympathizers for LeT with in Pakistani establishment, who continue fund and provide them with targets...afterall you can not successfully control a terrorist organisation by completely cutting it loose.
4. There was a time, when these Taliban guys(which now forn TTP) were also considered as Mujahids, when they were combating the evil soviets in Afghanistan..today they are considered the scourge of Pakistan.
5. Pakistani love affair with LeT is bound to end the same way..afterall who could have predicted 9/11 and Pakistan being forced to choose sides against Jihadi forces(which it had created and nurtured) on its western borders.
1. did it solved anythng for US .. Alqeeda is still their, Tal;iban is still their ... The have ruined Iraq, libya and afghanistan more then it was before .. Iraq is a mess now much bigger then when it was under Saddam, Libya is a mess now, smae goes for Afghanistan ..
2. both have nothng to do with elimination of leaders .. in case of both swat and North wazirsiatan .. they are weak becoz of the operation ... its nothng to do with killing of the leaers .. Most of the TTp guys are killed when we were having a peace nigocization .. to kill the peace deal btw TTP and Establisment ./. look it up on internet and u will know .. ( personally im against negotiations )
3. well these nut jobs dnt care .. the concept of jihad is a strenght for muslims .. believing that they will go to Jannat .. ( i am not advocating jihad, just telling a fact ) .. these jahidis (have stood against the most powerful empires .. the faught with very powerful armies , US, isreal, russia and inida .. dont they know that they cant match their force??? they do ... This is why muslim insurgents are the most dangerous ones ...
4. there is a very big misconception in india and they use it as propoganda .. that some people in establishment .. in our country it doesnt work that way .. either the entire army is pro or against it .. if we save haqqanis, it is not the policy of some people in establishment ... its all army .. same goes with LeT ... we didnt let them do anythng for years , stopped aiding them cross over .. but we have to keep them around if we want to use them later ..
5 . Not true .. TTP is not taliban .. taliban have said it time and again.. TTP was never a part of taliban .. No attack from Afghan taliban is lunched inside pakistan .. but since they are fighting USA, they cant pick a fight with TTP... since alot of them are hiding inside these regions ...
6 . I dnt knw.. LeT is smart they have the biggest NGO ... they do alot of social work .. people who have lost blood fighting for kashmir is kinda of heros in Pakistan .. btw it is my personal opnion .. USA lost in Afghanistan due to Pakistan... when US kicked their as in Afghanistan .. we helped them regroup inside Pakistan .. they reinforce and lunched a very effective insurgency ... we never openly supported them after 9/11 .. but taliban has not thing to do with 9/11.. it was alqeeda and pakistan has caught more Alqeeda members then USA ..
i tried to give u my unbiased opinion ... i hope it will give u some insight about the ground realities about Pakistan
