POPSUseless violence kills the innocent again in Pakistan. But why? This story is not that unusual but it struck me as a good example of how the innocent get killed so needlessly. The Mohmand Rifles were unsure of who had fired on them so they started shelling the suspected area and wind up killing a 10 year old girl and injuring 3 others. Why? What did that accomplish for them?

POPSAngry Pakistani tribesmen attack Taliban after bombing Militants have unleashed a new wave of violence in Pakistan in recent months after the military launched major offensives against them in the rugged northwest including Bajaur and Swat regions. The mounting militant threat prompted the government to convene a closed joint session of the two-chambered parliament for a briefing by intelligence officials on internal security. The parliamentarians are due to begin debate on the situation after Pakistan's newly appointed intelligence chief briefed them this week on the militant threat. The growing violence comes amidst a stepped-up campaign by the United States against militant targets inside Pakistan

POPSPakistans terrorist war, and ours. Why is it that the Australian media has a fuller coverage of the ongoing anti-terrorist war than Britain. Is there a reluctance to remind the immigrant population that their leaders in the Himalayas want to destroy everything English speaking nations have created? For those who did not see the Nu Lieber Party conference, a sizeable part of the audience hold more affiliation to the Third World then they do to the Ancient Anglo Saxon society upon which there appears an attempt to destroy. Is this observation isolated?

POPSAl-Qaeda breeding ground in Pakistan no international relief agency (United Nations, Red Cross, etc) is in sight. Some efforts made by the local government have also run aground by rampant corruption and lack of will to acknowledge the plight of these people at the highest government level. Worst of all, neither the Pakistan or American army, whose bombs have displaced thousands of children, women and old men, fail to acknowledge the consequences of their actions. To them the matter is closed and is not worth discussing. Let us write to our senators, congressmen, our national and provincial assembly members, our presidents and prime ministers and ask them one question. “We can authorize billions of dollars for the bombardment of the region, but can we also authorize a few bucks for the betterment of the local people?” I have said it before, and I will repeat again, “No amount of bombing can win the hearts and minds of the disgruntled populace.”

POPSCivil War Breaking Out Amongst Pak Taliban Clearly we see the same pattern of violence against fellow Muslims (and fellow Jihadists) at the hands of the uber radical Islamo Fascists creating a backlash. This is very reminiscent of how it began in Iraq. The Pakistan Awakening may be beginning (and it may not ever happen). But one thing is clear in all military situations, a divided enemy is easier to defeat than a united one. So the news civil war is starting to break out amongst the Taliban forces in the Pak Tribal Areas is very good news
