#1 What is Basant? Pakistan, by the way, is full of "Hindu" customs, such as caste division -- despite the fact that caste is supposedly anathema to Islam.

#4 Pakistan Army is an instutition to Protect Pakistan from invaders/terrorism---not to terrorise its own population. But on the contrary its deeply engaged in pleasing by Bush what ever means, resulting in loss of lives on both sides. My sympathise though lies with those tribals, who are putting their lives at stake in order to prove their point i.e. when the attrocity crosses a limit then resistance begins.....I wish the tribals the best of luck, and a victory (Amen)

#7 #4 - You also have an obligation to the rest of the world not to export war, rebellion, sabotage, and terrorism. If you don't carry out those obligations, your country eventually ends up at war, your country occupied, with an outside party guiding you into new ways -- whether you want to go or not.

All other nations -- at least in theory -- make laws that apply to all their citizens, not only to certain geographical areas. What justification can there be for the Waziris being exempt from the laws that apply to the rest of the country? The fact that they disagree with them? The purpose of laws is to establish a civil society. Just because your traditions condone murder and pillage doesn't mean you can continue practicing them, even if you disagree with the laws agains them. Eventually, your neighbors will become tired of being murdered and pillaged and kill you.
