Our forces have done enough and are doing much more than they could do, it is for the people sitting in parliament now to make plans for the future - which unfortunately is not forthcoming so far.

A recent documentary shown by the National Geographic channel on Gitmo, records that the Taliban never existed but the US invasion created a million of them in our backyard. The swat valley remained peaceful throughout and no doubt that once reclamation starts, it will work towards peace. But everyone omits the fact that the children who saw their parents killed will inevitably turn against Pakistan. One may call it the traditional opinion on the US but I will agree that I don’t see any clouds of change in the US policy and most certainly they will not sponsor Swat for modernization for the fear of the Taliban. The US insists that we are not doing enough whereas we have lost lives to a war that IS NOT Ours. Insisting that it is ours is delusional after all they are our brothers and sisters in Swat, and even though they may be misguided, we have no right to massacre them. IT must be remembered that half the people that the army kills are civilians and for each Taliban killed, they are creating new vengeful horrors To believe that Taliban are being successfully driven back is to close our eyes to reality.
