Anti-Taliban wave has begun within Pakistan?
May 1, 2009
A few days ago I wrote about Secularibans , a wishful thinking on my part that the recent Taliban activity within Pakistan ought to wake up its sensible voices and get them out on the streets making their views be heard. Also a rebuttal to Hillary Clinton when she pretty much eluded that Pakistanis are not worried about the Taliban problem in Pakistan and are not willing to do something about it. Not that she has any influence over Pakistanis or if Pakistanis would react to it, the movement and the voices already exist, something many outside of Pakistan are not aware of I suppose.
Essentially Talibans have invoked the people, as I had hoped, who typically are a silent majority. Although this is just the beginning but the frustrated educated and sensible people of Pakistan who mostly stay quiet and not show their emotions finally had it and are coming out on the streets. Here is a little show of what’s going on as reported by CNN. CLICK HERE to see the report.
