RE# 3
your observation? where did you make this observation? Have you been to any of the refugee camps, have you not seen the pics of these refugees in media.

Re: # 3
i think it is a legitimate concern. the authorities should investigate this matter; however, it is no reason to target and harass the refugees and deny them the humanitarian help.

Re: # 3

durdanaashraf says..."Amazingly the families migrating from the war areas are women, children and old men and no young male members are coming to the refugee camps. Do these families not have any young male members?"

its amazing what ridiculous and silly conclusions one arrives at in one's ignorance, myopia and bigotry...so how did this wonderful idea suddenly strike you?

Re: # 3 So are you suggesting that 1.3 million internally displaced people should be allowed to die. kindly elaborate. moreover how have you conviently reached thios conclusion of no young males. A few TV shots or what?
I support military action against taliban but military action does not mean complete in humanity to those who live in that area. taliban may be a menace but not every one who had misfortune of being born in swat.

This is with reference to the refugees of the Swat situation. We would like to notify our one observation. Amazingly the families migrating from the war areas are women, children and old men and no young male members are coming to the refugee camps. Do these families not have any young male members? This observation compels us to think about their male young members – where they are? Are they involved in war activities? Are these families are actually Taliban / Dehshatgard families? If it is true, then we are actually providing food and shelter to the Taliban families who are disguised in Swat refugees and their male members are engaged in the war? What do you think about this?

Now we are at real war against cruel,ignorant thugs and religious fanatics,Pak-Army should push them into the mountains and bomb them, as hard as they will never see it again. Taliban must be fought and hit very strong. There are many kind of bombs that can attack them in their mountains hide-outs,rat holes and decimate them significantly.
Those Taliban "militants" don't earn their living. We don't need killers in this world like the Taliban, so whoever understand the threat is time to be safe and fight back without risking much of our life. They will go.those who wants to fight off this Taliban insurgency, so we can turn the page and make sure that we all are in a new same page and get to constructive behavior. There are so many things to do for this world that is not just killing each other, so those who wants to solve this world problems with violence must be taken away with violence.

Wow...that was conspiracy theory brilliance.....so Al Qaeda has collaborated with Punjabi army( with most of the recent Chief of Army Staffs being non punjabi) along with Taliban (mostly non punjabis and a brain child of General Naseer ullah Baber,who once again is a non Punjabi) and together they are promoting USA interests!!!!!!!!!!!
That was brilliant!!!!!!!!!
