I don't have his heart.

Pakistan is going to be the new Iraq, so to speak in the upcoming months, anyone watching the current news could see it coming.

How good would this be for the US, Pakistan and the rest of the world?

In this program http://pkpolitics.com/2008/09/18/capital-talk-18-september-2008/, (I'm sorry but it's in Urdu) watch this guy who is a social worker from Bajour, Dr Khalil-ur-Rahman, describing how Pakistani helicopters bombed his car and where about 40 people got killed/injured and his son lost both legs (his picture is shown).

What's left me practically flabbergasted is how composed this guy still is and still claims "he loves Pakistan as his country".

Now, what will the free world do in the upcoming months to address thousands of parents like him? As a citizen of the so-called free world, I don't know.

But what I do know is that according to the locals of that area, barely ANY Talibans or Al Quaida's members have been killed in American and Pakistani bombings, they practically all have been civilians. The news reports claiming X number of terrorist died in so and so attacks is all hogwash.

I also know that the locals are swearing that the military solution will only devastate this area further, will kill more civilians, and will strengthen the terrorists by letting them take advantage of legitimate civilian anger.
