Five Years on - Lessons unlearned

.... But if I have to choose between BELIEVING the US govt. and AQ. I will believe the US govt........

Are you kidding me. You say 36 % I say 64% of the public has stopped beleing in the US government. Did you believe them when Collin Powell sat in the UN and told everyone how they had proof of WMDs in Irad. Dude your article was not bad but you just lost all credibility by making that moronic statement. You dont have to believe AQ but dont believe the US govt also. US citizens who live in America dont - then why do you?

Khan Sahib, On one side analysts love to quote ``Muslim World`` as you do

---

careful study in the Muslim world of surveys, electoral results and yes even speeches by the minority who do support a strategy of violence shown that the demands are in fact much more reasonable. The demand of seeking the removal of all foreign forces, their bases and the cessation of western occupation and interference

If there in fact was a ``Muslim World``, they would have done something to take care of their own. Sudan is a festering wound, and yet the ``Muslim world`` sits idly by, drinking gahwa (tea), and smoking hukkah pipes.

When you don`t stop criminal activity in your neighborhood, then someone else would come in to fix the situation. Off course then you would rouse up against this ``foreign`` intervention and create even more anarchy.

Why to worry about Sudan and Iraq. Let`s look at our own Pashtoons in FATA. Don`t we know how much suffering has been falling on poor Afghans? Don`t these FATA people know that majority of people in Afghanistan are Pashtoons. So in fact Afghan Pashtoons are the biggest target of lawlessness.

Still our FATA Pashtoons are allowing local and foreign elements to create anarchy in Afghanistan. These FATA militants have killed even our own army and FC soldiers. Why? Just because the army and FC are begging them to stop attacking Afghans.

As Pakistani Pashtoons are not willing to bring peace to Afghanistan, then guess what? Someone else (in this case NATO) has to come in to establish peace. Damn those foreigners.
