Actually its not true, you know that violence and terrorism is happening in Pakistan well before 2000's
Incorrect again - you confuse political violence that was started by ZAB's interference in Balochistan in the 1960's and and the 1970's. Don't take my word for it, read any book on the history of Balochistan, there was a period of calm between 1990-2002. My question is what changed during this time?
My father used to work in Movie industry back in 80's from Lahore, and he used to tell us about when they have to shoot a song or scene in certain areas of today's KPK they have to be careful, and some cases needed Tribal permissions to shoot, or even bribe them for protection..
Bhatta/Bakshis existed in Karachi also. You may not remember but there used to be a nara in Karachi "TV, VCR becho, Kalashnakof Khareedo"... Who coined that, was it a Pashtun or a Baloch?
The point I am trying to make is, terrorists should be killed without mercy - no trial, no arrests, no plea bargains, wipe them out... But don't lump an entire ethnic group into the same basket just because of a segment of their number are extremist swine.
Because that is a very slippery slope, we have seen what happens if you go down this route and it never works out. This requires a two pronged solution:
1. A military/armed response that is robust against terrorists and militancy [Anti Terrorism]
2. A political solution to for the communities in that region, coupled with engagement/dialogue, education, jobs, finance, social uplift, mindset change [Counter-Terrorism].
There is no simple military solution to this problem. Sure in the short term the dividends will be there, but we need to aim for long term permanent solutions. In doing so we will remove any space for foreign or domestic hostile elements to ferment their vile and vicious ideology in the hearts and minds of impressionable young men and women.
