Well you have to for your own people. There is no option left for you Mr. Zardari. Pakistan must win the war against the Taliban else only one thing will happen “Rise of Taliban’s and Fall of Islamabad…….
Pakistan’s President Asif Zardari has broken with decades of strategic policy by declaring the military will turn its guns on extremist groups it formerly supported as proxy forces in its battles with India. Via Daily Telegraph UK
In an announcement that boosts Washington’s hopes for a united front against al-Qaeda and related Islamist insurgents, Mr Zardari said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph that operations would in future target figures who were the military’s “strategic assets”.
The powerful military had given its backing in recent days to Mr Zardari’s shift from seeing India as the foremost threat to the country towards the domestic danger posed by radical Muslim groups that hold sway in large parts of Pakistan. “I don’t think anybody in the establishment supports them any more,” he said. “I think everybody has become more wise than this.”
Pakistan has launched simultaneous operations in Swat valley and two neighbouring districts after Taliban militants and foreign trained terrorists mounted a series of audacious attacks in its major cities. The fight has become the defining issue for Mr Zardari since his Pakistan People’s Party spearheaded efforts to oust the former military leader, Gen Pervez Musharraf, last year.
“Military operations are all across the board against any insurgent whether in Karachi, Lahore or whether he is in any part of Pakistan,” said Mr Zardari. “My problem is terror. I have focused myself on terror. The PPP has focused itself against the extremist mindset. Terror is a regional problem, it cuts across borders.
“I would love to be remembered for creating a Pakistan where militancy – I know it can’t totally be diminished – is defeated.”
I hope and pray that Pakistan Army and Government will defeat its own home made enemy of Pakistan. It’s now or never for Pakistan. If Pakistan and their leaders fail this time and start playing games with world then take my word Pakistan will only be found in our history books.
