Pakistan has been a 'bomb-a-month' nation for years, regardless of which fanatic straps on the explosive or who drives the vehicle. With such endemic hate born of tribalism and the weld of ideology with theology, why not simply concede the two Waziristan provinces to the jihadists for their caliphate mountain paradise and sequester them in the mountains they love?

When are we ever going to learn that the nation-state in the 21C has found a new enemy it cannot defeat: the non-state terrorist who spurns money, seeks no capital city to conquer, no army to defeat, no government it wants to control. We surrounded the Soviet Union until its collapse; why not invite all jihadists to their own country and then simply surround it? Pakistan could use a break in the monthly carnage.

That country really is. The weak and corrupt government is unable to control the activities of rouge elements. If it fails, chances of which are higher, then the international community has to take a more stern action.

The ideologic elite that governs America has been aiding and abaiting Pakistan to launch this offensive, so we must never forget that every single American have the ultimate responsibility for that 3 million people now have been displaced. Without the foul attack on Taliban's heartland in the south of Aghanistan (to where they retreated following air bombardments on their forward positions in Oct/Nov 2001) in 2005 -- from 2006 under the command of NATO -- there woiuld be no displacements of 3 millions Pakistanis now. Make no mistake about it! It is absolutely essential that Americans -- while they are sitting in their comfy homes easting their dougnuts -- understand that ultimately they -- through their elected government -- are ultimately responsible for these poor peoples plight.

Peshawar bombing at the second hotel owned by Shia tycoon Sadruddin Hashwani shows that Talibun/AQ are systematically targetting Shia entrepreneurs, especially one as prominent as Hashoo group.

He has vast interests in hotels, has travelled to Iran to sign an MoU for hotels there and has interests in Oil.

What USA cannot figure out is how to intervene in an anti Shia war, without annoying their Saud buddies.

The signs are not good at all.

Pouring USA taxpayer money into Pakistan military and ISI ensures that it goes to anti Shia forces.

Khoja Ismaili groups have no fortrightness to confront Tablighi hatred toward them. This lack of fortrightness and failure to assert the ascendancy of the Fatimate is costing them dearly already.

Faith in the Fatimate will be rewarded, failure to affirm it is failure to themselves. This is the sad tragedy.

USA policy has to confront that Saud Islam is misogynist and exclusionary, whereas Shia Islam is embracing and inclusionary even though many decades of reactionary ayatollahs and more recently ballistically unstable Iranian presidency may have given the opposite view. It is a real pity. What a terrible waste and destruction.
