Who is Enemy : Taliban or India or US?

.

Over 600 Pakistani civilians have died this year in suicide bombings carried out by the terrorists in FATA/Swat and the Drone Attacks carried out by the United States and by the militants in Balochistan who are backed and funded by India.

The only people who are being killed and harmed are the Pakistanis. They are being attacked from many sides and yet they are still very much unsure about who their enemy is. Overwhelming majority of Pakistanis still don’t consider Taliban terrorists. Many still follow the chain of reasoning that the on going war against terror still only belongs to United States and Pakistan has nothing to do with it. There are almost all the people in Punjab and Sindh who doesn’t understand the gravity of restive situation in the Balochistan. They shrug it off as mere temporary skirmish fanned by Indians and the Karzai administration.

We are right now a confused nation, who doesn’t know it’s objectives, its priorities and it’s vision. There is no clear way for us to go forward. To cure the patient the diagnosis has to be accurate, otherwise the wrong medicine can sometimes kill the patient. In order to find the cure, we have to have the clear road map as where actually we want to go from here. Do we Talibanize the whole country, or do we become a total secular state. Do we give complete provincial autonomy to the provinces or do we become a one unit. Do we declare it as a national policy to tow the American line or do we go against them.

Whatever we do, we cannot do it in the bizzare fasion, which we are doing now. We cannot put the matters on pending for too long now. We have to make decision as nation and make it fast and then stick to it. Because when we set this objective, we would be clearly knowning who our enemy is and then we would be able to fight it conclusively. Because right now we are being hit by from everywhere, retaliating to none.
