Pakistani Foreign Minister Khursihd Kasuri defended a truce between the Pakistan Army and pro-Taliban tribesmen aimed at stopping cross-border raids in Afghanistan, saying its goal was to prevent support for the Taliban and should be given a chance to work. He said the government would give the truce a few months. "The government can now ask the tribal elders to honour the agreement," Kasuri said. "What we do not like is finger-pointing," Kasuri said. "Yes, it's a difficult situation. You make it worse by finger-pointing. Let's accept this difficult situation. Let's cooperate. It's in our common interest," he said.| He has to be a diplomat; no one else can say stuff like that without their lips falling off. |
