Taliban

By Tom

This saying appears in many different forms, but the earliest version is probably that of the poet and philosopher George Santayana: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

I cannot believe that the government has no idea what "appeasement" means - learn from history - Hitler took Czechoslovakia without a shot then went on to take over Europe, Africa, and parts of the Middle East - Do you really think that extremist criminals will be satisfied with Swat? Learn from history - destroy these criminals while you can!

I agree. It may very well prove to be Pakistan's own Munich. One should not appease the aggressor, or else the aggressor keeps gaining, like the proverbial Arabic Camel in the Tent.

But the question really isn't whether Pakistan should destroy the Taliban, it's whether Pakistanis have the WILL to stop them. The society is pretty split on that, whether anyone likes it or not. Don't forget that the movement called the Taliban was a result of hardcore "orthodox" Pakistani establishment in the first place. The kind of orthodoxy which does not even favourably look at their own Pakistani citizens - ie, Shias, Ahmedis and other minorities, or simply any 'corruption' to their own brand of ideology.

By the way I don't believe the Taliban can simply be termed "criminals" and conveniently categorized. It's an ideological movement of a much bigger magnitude, much bigger than any ragtag insurgents the Pakistani machinery is used to encountering (balochs, sindhi separatists and the like are a high school bully gang compared to the Taliban).

A Bulk of Questions ! The Elements To Destroy Pakistan or The Foreign Conspiracies?

How to understand the solutions, let's don't go to the past , while analysing what is root cause of every Disaster that we are facing today, let's just don't go to 1970s, but maybe we need to have a few reference while talking about root cause,

Let's have a simple questions, If we Slap some one , and when he is slappning back as reaction, so what this reactions should be termed as?
our weakness Which has caused a Natural reaction?
or does this reactions has to do something with nationality or Religion?

Pakistan is facing And struggling alot with Different Factors, but Talibanisation is at the top of those, now what can we understand with Talibanisation? If we are Allama Iqbal's Follower , simply we can say the talibans are not actually those who are representing Islam. and the fact it is. but let's see how they came into being?
Dividing here The Taliban's into Four Groups
1, The Talibans of Afghan Model,
2, The Talibans of Swat,
3, The So Called Talibans
4, The Reactions Termed As Talibans,

in Afghanistan The Talibans who had rules in 1990s, Alot what i hve read and researched goes into favour , they were those who have Stabbled Afghanistan And Spread an Equal Justice to A Common Citizens,

The Swat Talibans are never a part of Afghan Talibans, those are the people politically Termed As Talibans, As they were opposing Some negative Policies, Recently One Of The American Republican Party's Mr Paul Has Stated as, Every Anti American Policy has been termed as Taliban,

The So Called Taliban's Are the Beneficiaries of that Mess which has been Created In Pakistan's Civil War , A Few Foreign Elements , Targetting For their Own Benefits, simply Oppurtunists, Acting for Their Own Interests,

And The Reactions which has been termed As Talibanisation, Let me Clearfiy these Talibans, The Innocent People Whose Families Are Killed by Bombing Wether by Foreign Oppurtunists, The Drone Attacks, Or Their Own Army, When They have nothing , no where to go, and while they have suffered had no aid to be given, neither they had place to live nor they have ideas to be shared, A Natural Reactions has been Termed as Talibanisations?

Now what Group are we Killing Actually We Don't Know Our Self. And this is what Clears As No Solutions Unless We go For Dialogue

I personally think the better way to deal with this will be to help people.. the locals there. Provide them and win their hearts. The great divide that exists amongst the rich and the poor is exactly what gives the extremists the kind of thing they use to their advantage.
