Wow! You are proof of your own governments neglect. Most of the solutions you provide are obvious solutions that are very easy to write down. You have to form a plan for each of your solutions (how to improve governance, investing in your people — with what resources, etc…), but how is disengaging from outside assistance going to change things in your country? Please think long and hard first.

Some people say that Pakistan was created to cater for the Muslim feudal lords in reaction to Patel’s announcement that feudal system will be abolished in India immediately after independence.
But this is something that is useless to discuss. We should rather concentrate on what to do now.

Collateral damage. That too with Pakistani military approval.

Ask not why the US is using the Drones, but why the Pakistani Military is not shooting them down.

There are no US drones in Somalia, but Al Qaeda has gained ground. There is no US intervention in Syria or Libya, but Muslims are killing Muslims in the name of Islam.

In the 1990s, the US had nothing to do with Pakistan, yet the likes of LeT and LeJ and SSP and JeM were formed.

Blaming US is the easy way out.. Muslim world has a problem that nobody is willing to admit.

Would US launch Drones(that too with tacit approval from Pakistani military) if there were no Terrorists in Tribal areas?

Isn’t it their duty to kill any if they pose a threat to their own citizens? After all Pakistani Army has capabilities to shoot them down and hence, have given their tacit approval.

Ask not what the US is doing, but what the Pakistani Army is not..

Taliban are Pakistani army’s secret weapon gone wrong. The army hopes to recontrol it in future.

With courts making the Lal Masjid incident a controversy, the army and government are unwilling to take any action against any extremists. People saying that Taliban terrorism is in response to drone attacks are either living in fool’s paradise or have sympathies with Taliban. How can we justify killing innocent women who were actually providing a service to our children. How can we justify attacks on school buses and on Malala or Pakistan’s armed forces.
Taliban have accepted responsibilities for all these incidents. Sadly they use the name of Islam for their political benefit. Although what they do is completely against Islam. Taliban are the greatest threat to our country and to Islam.
