The New York Times: Reports that the Army of Pakistan is taking on the Taliban. The Government of Pakistan has to move the Taliban/Terrorists out of the Swat Valley, it was a mistake by Government in Islamabad to try to appease the terrorists. Neville Chamberlain in 1938 tried to appease Hitler at Munich, and what did we get World War Two. The Taliban as stated by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is a mortal threat to Pakistan and the USA. Thus what do you do with a cancer, you destroy it and get remission. In remission in the case of Pakistan you can build by the civic structure of the Tribal badlands. create schools for both genders, hospitals, some economic development, give the poor people some hope. The success of the Taliban on one level is economic, as the UK Telegraph reported it took over the emerald mines of the Swat Valley and shared the profits with the workers. The US can not allow a nuclear armed Pakistan to fall in to the hands of the Taliban, the USA would have to take military action to remove the missiles and repel the Taliban if they became a major threat to the Government in Islamabad. Read of the Day.
