We need to start open dialogue and blast them with logic, laugh at their stupidity and shoot them
ReplyDeleteThats one way of dealing with it...love the logic part....but dont they feel inhuman after looking at all the small children who are homeless, families without shelter....all due to their inability to live in peace
ReplyDeleteits for the greater good
ReplyDeleteWhat greater good? The army is utilizing resources that the country does not have at this crucial time in the world history. And Taliban are giving Islam a bad name by making headlines again and again...Dont you think the army should make one final push and get it over with? What are your views?
ReplyDeleteThe push is not that easy ......... is our army trained to fight the uniformed Indians or the shadows in the mountains?
ReplyDeleteRemember the Americans faltering in Viet Nam and the Russians in Afghanistan
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with MR. Anonymous.....
ReplyDeletethese people are indian trained CIA backed people aiming to defame Pakistan.
If u remember when america was creating a media propoganda for iraq....they showed videos of iraq manufacturing chemicalbombs.... explosives...etc..... just to create a negative immage in the eyes of not only the international community but also local viewers...sam happened with Afghanistan...and they are trying to create the same case for Pakistan.....but we are so stupid not to undertand the real scenario behind this thing...
Further more Taha u need to differentiate between Taliban and Alqaeda..
taliban are our friends while ALQaeda is not.... Talibans are fighting along with the Pakistan Army against these Indian Sponsored Afghani agents... how do u justify series of indian ambassies along the Pak - Afghan Border.... im sure alot of tourist dont want to be in the are for recreational purposes....
But no we trust our media so much that we actually believe what they say.....
Thank you anonymous for giving an insightful opinion about the topic. It certainly has opened up quite a few more questions in my mind...one being who trusts our media? What has gone right and what has gone wrong with our media industry today?
ReplyDeleteLet us own up to the fact that whatever is happening is due to us .......... we are to blame ... that "I" and "Me".
ReplyDeleteSimple question : do you stop at the red traffic light?
Has any1 noticed this, post 9/11 we were battered by the word "terrorist".Now we are being battered by the word talibans.They will come and take over the country.Has any one ever thought of what a talib is ?.What we see on the tele is a farce.The ground reality is totally different.Why do we react late to everything?why does our government think 1 fine day lets bomb the shit out of the only natural resort we had?The camps that are being built are a breeding ground for these so called fundamentalist.we need to act,swat has become a hell.Lets learn from our past mistakes and stop follwing what the media feeds us!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Fahad (Fz). The average Talib is not someone who would voluntarily kill women and children and wreck mindless havoc. The people who are being called taliban are those who have been brainwashed into believing that what they are doing is the only course of action necessary.
ReplyDeleteAgreed with the above two comments. But what makes these people actually brainwashed? Drugs? Mind games? terrorism against their families?
ReplyDeleteCan we do something to stop this brainwashing?
Suggestions!!
brainwashing stems from the situation they are in.When u see and feel helpless!what is the end result for the ppl in our country.Either to take their lives or their families lives.Its a cliche that we dont have anything soo we loose hope and we do things which are not deemed as sane.But do we actually think of what has happened to us.We are weak ppl all of us!including me....i accept it.our weakness ranges from money to lust..and that is what these ppl take advantage of our weakness....
ReplyDeletethe reality is that our poliricians are too busy into getting their own wishlists accepted that they have totally ignored the real dangers to Pakistan.
ReplyDeleteIf any one remembers at the war of 1971 when our army needed help in east Pakistan , US sent its USS Enterprise which was s called scared by russian submarines.......we helped CIA and American in the Soviet invasion and what did we get??....sanctions on our military.....frozen military supplies......economic pressure..... it is tie we need to understand that US is like a snake... even if u feed him in a cup made of Gold ( or uranium in this case) it will always bite you..... they will never be of any help.
but still we aim at an economy who cannot even print its own noted but has to borrow from a Jewesh lobby who owns their central reserves. Who is so much in debt that even their banking sector stopped giving them loans and now they come to china for loans.
History has shown that in recession war prevails and it acts as one of the catalyst to boost the economy of the world.
Since 2 May, the number of people displaced by fighting between government forces and Taleban insurgents in northwestern Pakistan's Swat valley and its neighbouring districts of Dir and Buner has risen to more than 1.45 million, a rate of approximately 85,000 people fleeing per day. The unfolding internal displacement crisis in Pakistan is the fastest movement of people in such massive numbers since the Rwandan genocide of 1994. When including at least half a million more displaced by fighting since August 2008, the total figure of conflict-displaced persons in Pakistan is estimated to currently be in the range of 2 to 2.1 million people.
ReplyDeleteArmed conflict between government forces and Taleban insurgents began in Pakistan's tribal areas located between the country's North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and the border with Afghanistan in 2002. It has since spread south and east across the NWFP which includes Swat valley. The latest offensive was launched in early May 2009 after the Taleban had gained control of large parts of Swat valley and was believed to be expanding its control to neighboring regions despite a peace deal agreed upon with the central government in February 2009.
The ongoing offensive in the Swat valley has included various violations of international humanitarian law such as the insurgents planting landmines in towns that are preventing many civilians from fleeing, and using them as "human shields" to deter attack. Some aerial and artillery attacks by Pakistani forces have lacked adequate precautionary measures and caused high loss of civilian life. Many people remain trapped in the Swat valley and adjoining conflict areas due to the fighting. Hundreds of thousands of others have fled the valley and neighbouring districts during temporary relaxation of curfews by authorities. In some cases the exodus has been encouraged by the army to keep civilian casualties to a minimum.
Thousands of new IDPs are arriving every hour at registration sites in safer areas of the NWFP and hundreds of spontaneous settlements have sprung up in sites such as schools, colleges, stadiums and parks. In the last three weeks over 1.45 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) have registered with the NWFP Social Welfare Department. Most IDPs have arrived with little more than the clothes on their back, and are in urgent need of food, medical care and hygiene kits. A large number of uprooted children are traumatised and need critical psycho-social support. Displaced women, some of whom had never before ventured outside their villages, are facing particular challenges adjusting to their new surroundings.
As of 19 May, the vast majority of the IDPs, or 1.32 million people, were living outside of camps with host families or in rented accommodation, putting tremendous social and economic hardship on people. In some instances the population of villages and towns has doubled due to the IDP influx, and large numbers of displaced persons and host families are living in extremely over-crowded conditions. Families staying in over 20 IDP camps are often crammed into small tents. They have been experiencing soaring summer temperatures while facing a scarcity of water. Inadequate sanitary conditions in the camps have made the IDPs especially vulnerable to dehydration, diarrhoea and skin infections.
The speed and scale of the displacement crisis in Pakistan is posing huge challenges for the government and humanitarian actors who are warning that the number of IDPs is unlikely to stabilise as long as the fighting continues. In an attempt to address the crisis, authorities have announced an emergency relief package to support 6,100 IDP families living in camps and 6,000 families with host communities. The UN and international and national aid agencies are expanding and speeding up their relief operations, and have called upon the international community to respond to the immense humanitarian challenges facing the internally displaced population of Pakistan.
