| Pakistan is winning the fight against terrorism according to President Pervez Musharraf, who has vowed to crush Islamic military in the country in an Independence Day address to the nation. Hasn't he vowed that before? Thought so... At least 16 Islamic militants were arrested by Pakistani police in a series of raids in the Punjab province ahead of the country's Independence Day celebrations Wednesday. "There are no quick-fix solutions to sectarianism and extremism," President Pervez Musharraf said in his annual address marking the 55th anniversary of Pakistan's independence from Britain, The Associated Press news agency reported. He promised to increase security and stated that all Islamic militants involved in recent attacks on Christian institutions "have been killed or arrested." What's next on the agenda? Shall we sit back and wait for the next round of atrocities that make Pakland look even more Third-Worldish and uncivilized than it is? Or shall we try and kill or capture the perpetrators of old atrocities, on the assumption they'll be involved in any subsequent acts? |
