| [DAWN] THE only certainty one can be sure of, they say, is change. And even as we look into an uncertain future, we can see some key trends. Then we look at the forces that are driving those trends and slowly a pattern begins to emerge. These visions make the future look less hazy. Here's some of what we see: Pakistain is facing a long war and this is not a war that will produce a victor and a vanquished anytime soon. Pakistain is fighting a creed. This war is not so much with the Taliban as much as against the Talibanisation of our society -- the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) representing only the extreme end in that spectrum. |
