KARACHI: With the killing of two
senior military officers, I hope our politicians now realise that they have
committed a major blunder by offering to talk to the terrorists. It’s time to
get down to the basics: the people of Pakistan do not want new airports or
roads or tunnels through the mountains, but security. The prime minister and
his colleagues should concentrate, only, on the improvement of security, even
if it means expanding our army and law-enforcement agencies. The terrorists
will not stop unless they get complete and unfettered control of this country.
They have to be stopped and the only way to do so is to fight them. Let’s not
waste our time and resources on meaningless talks.
