At this most critical moment I should have been quiet or danced to the tunes of Nizam-e-Adle regulation passed by the National Assembly of Pakistan. For the sake of saying, it is a fancy way of putting the lives, honour, respect, future and destiny of more than two million population of Malakand Division under the ruthless clutches of Taliban, a modern form of Azab-e-Elahi.
Yes, it will bring peace, but the one like we have in graveyards. It is always so serene there. The minor stir in the air feels like a boom. People of Swat and adjoining areas would be happy that the way they used to live, is now history. Of course, that was a bad way, the infidel way, anyways. Now people endowed with the strength of Eeman and the authority to bring justice will prevail. They would bring justice without creating a just society and condition. Islam would see its renaissance and under the banner of this great movemnet the torch bearers of Islam would bring the sweet revolution everywhere. Why to keep the goodies confined to Swat?
I am dismayed by the ANP-PPP duo, especially ANP where opportunism dominated. Instead of keeping the long term interests of its people it succumbed to power of Klashinkov bearers. I have nothing against Shariat or Adl but against the way and circumstances it is adopted. I don’t think that an illiterate person, who is fed with charity, has no formal schooling can transform into a religous scholar, out of nothing and on top of it claims to have understood the Shariat-e-Muhammadi to its fundamentals! As once Winston Churchill said, war is too delicate a matter to be handed over to the generals. The same applies here. Shariat is too delicate a matter to be handed over to Mullas leave aside the ruthless Talibans.
This is all, I know. I may be wrong, please correct me, if you think so.

Pretty soon if the govt keeps having peace agreements with such people the entire country will be under attack. They are already trying to make a base in Karachi and Islamabad is no problem at all. I wonder what will the govt do then. Let them run the country and get bhatta from them every month. Shame on our government for having peace talks with terrorists . Then they cry over drone attacks by the US.
