Pakistan has invited or rather solicited too many unwanted problems which it is not capable of handling by joining the war on terror. Pakistan govt can not handle situation in Baluchistan, innocent being killed for no reason whatsoever and no govt machinery comes into action. Karachi is bleeding, Peshawar is in turmoils. govt has no control on law and order and economy.

Question arose what intelligence agencies are doing when enroute such incidents have become common! Further instead of utilising services of private containers or contractors, why the services of state run Railways for carrying the business of supplies to NATO is not being utilised which even otherwise would add to reverse its dwindling revenue generation.
