It was expected. The Taliban and their comrades had to spread the dirt around. Punjab was closest and Lahore the choicest.
So what else is new. Welcome to the year of the nonsense, year of the petrified!
Ever since we left an incoherent group of highly motivated Islamic Jihadist returnees from Afghan war on their own, the post-war syndrome took its toll understandably eventually. Now we reap the harvest as Hillary Clinton finally acknowledged the other day or two earlier than the start of the Operation Rahi Haq aka Rahi Rast which I was let's see if I remember on or about April 26.
Too late too little though.
The Pakistani nation neither politically nor morally supported the Afghan war nor did it know the repurcursions, implications, ramifications becuase it was leaderless, rudderless. The state and the establishment did it all in cahoots with the West but simply for a short-sighted tactical reason i.e. to gain time, have the money and the space to catch up with India's nuclear spin while the West looked the other way. There was no long term strategic rationale in Islamizing a battle for control of resources, etc. It is a candle that burnt both ways. A Samurai effort at par excellence...
