ANALYSIS: Ijaz Hussain
The fact of the matter is that given their obscurantist outlook and fascist ideology, the Taliban are an infinitely greater threat to Pakistan than America. But that is not so for Imran Khan
Imran Khan, chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e Insaf, is a vocal and relentless opponent of the ongoing military operation in Malakand. He believes that, lured by dollars, the Pakistani government has undertaken the operation in pursuance of the American agenda. In his opinion, the solution to the ongoing strife lies in the termination of military operations, withdrawal of security forces from the troubled areas and seeking a political settlement with the Taliban.

The article is an utter confusion shown by the writer who considers America as little threat.
Imran Khan is absolutely right in saying that Talibans were never threat to this nation.But our corrupt leaders like Musharaf and Zardari left no stone unturn to make them our enemy.Why were not there any suicide attacks before 2004?As there were no suicide attacks,it clearly shows that Taliban at that time were after Americans,not Pakistan.
Most importantly,the writer is not well versed with the fact that there are more than 30 groups which are using the name of Talibans.Every group has different agenda....which we pakistanis unfortunately don't know....we had btter know that.
As a Muslim we all should sit together and think of implemeting Muhammed's sharia as there is no sharia called Taliban's Sharia.....
Despite so many suicide attacks,recent IRI survey shows that inflation is the biggest issue for common pakistanis.
Yes,terrorism is an issue for english speaking westernized minds.To Talibans,their targtes are govt officals,foreigners,Army and westernized liberals.....
There has been no suicide attack in raja bazar,and AnarKali Bazar which are full of ordianry pakistanis
