This comment sounds like a soundbite from the Al Qaeda and Taliban propaganda machine. It is the fault of the Arab world that they are allowing their youth to become radicalized because they chose to promote venom and hate against the West as a way of avoiding responsibility for their own failures. The Muslim world is at the bottom of the world development index, only ahead of sub-saharan Africa. The Muslim world has been corrupt for centuries and have had a decline even before the United States was a nation. The only solution to avoid responsibility is to blame the West for their ills.

As a counter argument to your statement that 99 percent of all deaths are civilians are simply not true. The Taliban is causing the majority of civilian deaths due to their suicide bombings and their use of IEDs. They are a group of thugs in the throes of losing power so all they know how to do is to terrorize civilians into submission.

Finally, the argument that the Pastuns have an "honor code" is irrelevant. Remember that the Pastuns, by allowing Al Qaeda sanctuary in Afghanistan and allowing 911 to happen, fired the first shot. It is the United States which has a vendetta and must fight to honor itself. The Pastuns are wrong to think that they have a right to launch terror attacks from their soil and not expect retribution. The Pastuns are now paying for the crime of allowing terrorist attacks to come from their soil.

So, the Arab world must take responsibilities for their failures rather than blame the West for every social ill they can conceive.

Ad hominem attacks won't do; anybody who counters American maddening wars is not al Qaeda and is trying to bring some sense into the madness; similarly anybody who disagrees with the war criminal nature of Israel is not anti-Semite. These ad hominem attacks or other mudslinging doesn't work anymore.

The Muslim world is not attacking the West.

It's the 400 years of West's colonisations of the Muslim world and now the thrusting of foreign Jews on top of Palestinians and various invasion, occupations and threats invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan that are the causal factors.

One cannot say that we are not being attacked by the Muslim world. We were attacked on 911, London and Spain were also attacked. Israel has suffered numerous car bombings. At the end of the numerous Western countries have suffered due to attacks by radical islamists. It would be unreasonable to assume that these same countries would not try to defend themselves, it is part of our survival instinct. If Israel is attacked and her citizens are killed, she has a duty to strike back. The same goes for America, if there are cells of terrorists in Pakistan training operatives to strike at population centers, once cannot assume that America will be idle in destroying these terror cells as a method of self preservation. The President of the United States has a duty to protect American citizens, if that involves strikes into North Waziristan, so be it.

Sept 11 attack on America was hatched in Germany, did America attack Germany?

The consequent British and Spanish attacks were also hatched in Britain and Spain, respectively.

How was Pakistani governement or people involved in the above?

Who "pulled down" WTC 7 the huge building close to the towers but was NOT hit by any plane?

Faisal Shahzad spent most of his adulthood in America and was radicalised in America because of America's war crimes against the Muslim world.

How is Pakistani governement or people involved in the above?

Jumping to conclusions is certainly not a sign of intelligence

Did you know 78% of all statistics are made up?

Why do you sound like a Hindoo Indian baniya pedaling his wares?

That's because you sound like a moron inbred pakistani.

Serously, did your instructor give you time off from the suicide bombing class today to wage jihad on the internet?

Bush says God chose him to lead his nation; Bush’s Christian religious and political beliefs are so entwined that he appointed evangelical Christian General William Boykin to hunt for Osama bin Laden. Boykin has said things like that the war on terror was a fight against Satan, and also told a Somali warlord that, ‘My God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol.’

Why does the terrorist group calls itself the Asian Tigers? Do you think any Muslim fundamentalists would invent such a secular name?

Who is really behind the terrorist group Asian Tigers?

The real culprits behind this group are not Pakistanis or Afghans; this much I can assure you of.

Who benefits from brewing trouble in Pakistan; name one country or two or three?

If you are unaware of ground situation and culture of tribal belts of Pakistan then there is no need to raise abnormal questions.
Behind most of attack either it was justification of US invasion and miltiary bases allotted to them in different areas of Pakistan or planning of forceful attacks on poor residents .
We are being blackmailed over our dead bodies and US is spreading its miltiary network on our land on the name of this war on terror .
Pakistani civilians and soldiers are just provided bait for them by our sold leadership or you can say have an status of experimental rats.
You didnt ask a question that why and who brought the most corrupt characters back to Pakistan to rule and why elite and ruling class is becoming more rich and strong in this 9 year war period.
Why you ignored that west puppy and our exCOAS Musharraf provided safe asylum in UK in nearby house of tony Blair and now he in this runaway state is giving lectures in US on democracy and war against taliabns.
American borders toward Mexico and Latin America has serious problem of drug and arms smuggling.complete racket of human smuggling is working there .why US never took any strong and miltiary actions there which they always encourage Pakistan army to take against on its settled people.?
If you don't know the background and culture of any area then don't raise illogical questions that reveal just your ignorance and nothing more than it.

WhO are you people to decide what is good for Pakistan.
You people save your street by catching Faisal like US citizen.
it is good job you have done.
Now ask your security agencies that why they couldnt check faisal shezad before giving him clearance for citizenship that he has some links with waziristan.
Ask you LEA that 911 attackers were saudis but how they breached one of modern setup of US airport system.They got clues that all was made in US then where your agencies were sleeping at that moment where few having knifes and cutter ruined all security plans of US a super power.
if you think that waizrsatan is hub of evil genius people who can destroy US security by activating its few jihadis whom you granted citizenship then you should all die with shame and leave US to live in some other country.
You people always love our military dictators and provide them full dollar aides on the name of bribes in defense deals.You brought back zardari like people and protecting them as long as possible and giving us free advice that attacks on people of Pakistan is our favour!!
Sorry take care of your boundary only and support supporting our corrupt icons that is all you should do.
We know how to handle our problems better than you.

Are you suggesting that it is the fault of the security agencies and not the Jihadis? You are suggesting that the Jihadis have a God given right to attack the US and that if any terrorists succeed it is the fault of the US? That is unacceptable. The US must go directly into the nexus of terror and destroy the terrorists where they are planning and radicalizing youth to attack the West. Simply staying put and playing defense all the time would be a silly strategy. The West must be proactive and destroy the radicals in their spawning pools.

In addition, it is true that Pakistan benefits from the attack in Waziristan. Most of the Pakistanis are secular and do not follow the more primitive beliefs of the villagers in the Tribal agencies. It is in these tribal agencies that Al Qaeda is brainwashing young men for their little "jihad". Sending troops into Waziristan would be a good way to further disrupt the operational abilities of the Jihadi network.

You suggest that we don't know how to run that part of the world. Well, since that part of the world is spawning so many terrorists it is clear that your people don't either.
