‘No Predators Please’

It is wrong,
absolutely wrong to say that,
pakistan is doing little not enough,
the reality is that Pakistan is doing more than before,
vide the ground millitary oprations in the pointed area,
we are serving ,sacrificing,
but delivering mere statement made it useless,


Vide the record of U.S.A. forces,
in regard to rooting out the insurgency,
within seven years,
you will come to the conclusion that,
not only American but also North Atlantic Treaty Orgnisation's millitary
has been failed in completing its true mission,
so time is not enough,
resources for this purposes are also not enough
the ground reality is that,
Pakistan already facing worst ecnomic crisis.


In recent days,
what the super power done,
carrying out the secret order,
strike by oredator dron air craft started
on the territory in side its front line ally Pakistan,
what they were doing by committing such acts,
undermining newly elected government,
which has committment to finishe insurgency.


When civillans dies,
in such attacks,
a tremendous reaction creats,
and the common people began to support millitants,
understanding that the millitants were on right side,
so should avoide such attacks.


Pakistan is right,
when raising objection ,
against such attacks,
in its territory,
if great partner want Pakistan remained in allience,
he will have respect and honoure of the people's life,
its territorial integrity.

The only terrorists one can find are in the rank and file of US forces and its intelligence agencies. These are the real bad guys that need to be brought to justice, and they sure will be.

The Russians lost 50,000 soldiers to war deaths, suicides, and illness while using our current military tactics during their 11-year war ion Afghanistan, against ragtag forces . But we are in a dead-end trajectory in a country named Jomhuri-ye Eslami-ye Afghanestan or ???The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan??? (herein referred to as the ???I.R.A.???), fighting new generations and more to follow.

Who are we fighting, for what reason? What will we gain and what???s the consequences of what we started? Do we really think we can build a ???democracy???, a word that we throw out and around the world, which means absolutely nothing to many nations? How long will it take? How much will it cost and how will we pay for it? What are the milestones? What is victory? Does continuing the war make us more regionally undesirables? Are we strengthening the regional radical fundamentalist in Pakistan and elsewhere leading to nuclear- armed hatred towards us? Will our military and their families continue to be abused with no cause and no end? Hopefully, we will not simply continue the same senseless dead-end trajectory because we think we have to win some undefined victory or become ???un-American.???

By giving Bin Laden a 7-year reprieve, we are now fighting an even more empowered and unified Taliban militant religious movement, Islamic extremists, patriotic nationalists and drug lords that make the Mexican or Colombian cartels seem like boy scouts. They don???t wear uniforms, and they don???t need Al-Qaeda. They are surrounded by nations who despise infidel troops, who support them with weapons, manpower, logistics, and bases, and they don???t need our money since they grow and supply illegal drugs. We have allowed them become stronger by our obsessive focus on the oil in Iraq.

If we somehow reasoned, after punishing the Taliban for hosting Bin Laden, that we could now bring ???democracy??? to I.R.A., our political leaders, intelligence and military failed to tell our brave soldiers or the American people that I.R.A. could never be unified. I.R.A. has over 50 political parties, independent tribal and religious leaders and warlords, over 60 Pashtun tribes and 400 sub-clans. One may become the corrupted and anointed president of the capital Kabala, as is president Karzai, but that is provided one receives 50% of the vote. But who votes? The President of IRA only governs our new ???Green Zone???, Kabul, anyway. If we had a President that only governed Washington D.C., how effective would his/her policies be? It is obvious that true democracy is not possible in the I.R.A.

It???s not intelligent to theorize winning conflicts rooted in liberation, integration, religion. Remember Vietnam? What we face now is worse, because it is religious extremism with no borders, and our worst nightmare since our closest ally and friend, the cruel dictatorship of neighboring Pakistan is now gone. The united opposition is supported by religious radicalism with nuclear w

You have two choices with a peaceful solution:
- you should lay down your arm and negotiate with terrorist until they sit on your bed and point their gun on your forehead.
- You should convert all Americans to islam and practice sharia law. There will be no need for judges, government offices or congress. The mullas can take care of everything

I think that the Pakistani's should stop their crying and get use to it. War is hell and there are no rules of who should live or die. Until all of those that planned 9/11 are killed, then the bombings should stop.

Perhaps, it is not a good Idea to bomb the tribal areas and then to go and administer remedies. Why should the lives of those be lost who are innocent?

Pakistanis claim this is not their war. It's a problem that US created a while back. So let the US fight it too.
Wait. Didn't the Pakistanis heartily accept the billions that came their way at the time? They want billions more but, don't fight the islamic militants (with unfortunate civilian casualties) because Pakistan military gave birth to the Taliban and many in the military sympathize with some of these radicals. Pakistani double-speak

This interview by Ron Moreau is a thoughtful and probing one. The bottom line is the U.S. and Pakistan must harmonize their strategies in order for Al Qaeda and the Taliban to be extinguished. Unilateral drone attacks in an allied country is wrong and counter-productive. As an American, I'm looking forward to better coordination between the new U.S. administration and the relatively new administration in Pakistan and believe that they can work in tandem.

By the way, it is scandalous that there are commenters in this column that promote such base feelings of bigotry and hatred. They do nothing to contribute to this discourse which affects the security of all of us and I'm going to report it as abuse.

Hope Obama will get after Osama as committed . Razing the Paki Garrisons will not take much time & will certainly get OSAMA an immediate death sentence.

Talking to Pakistan has paid no one in history of man kind.
