Dealing with the Taliban

I do not agree with the opinion that by electing good leaders, we can drive out the few thousand terrorists who have held the country hostage for last four decades. The real question is whether we are united on a common resolve against terrorism. When it comes to religion, we are a confused nation. Anyone can fool us in the name of religion. Most of the religious-political parties are ideologically aligned with the Taliban, which is why military is unable to carry out any decisive action against them. The issue is no longer confined to the tribal areas and KPK. The country’s commercial capital, Karachi, is now under siege by Taliban. Pakistan can never win the war on terror until we are united against the enemy. Decisive action against extremists is essential.
