Divine wrath at work

On the one hand, the United States must respect the territorial sovereignty of Pakistan and stop drone attacks in FATA region; on the other hand, we also need to put our house in order. Unfortunately, for the last many decades the writ of the government in FATA and Balochistan was lacking in many aspects. So much so, most of the stolen/snatched vehicles, kidnapped persons along with drug trafficking and human trafficking networks were traced to these zero writ areas ie, safe havens for the criminals obstructing the work of law enforcement agencies.

Given this context, the hideous drone attacks appear to manifest the divine wrath against those who had no respect for personal liberty and private property, disobeying the commands of nature and their government. The divine anger can still be pacified if the people concerned mend their ways, seek divine forgiveness and the efforts by federal government are given unequivocal support.
