The turn in public mood is a boost to the military in its offensive against the insurgency &#8211; a campaign supported by the Obama administration, which believes security in Pakistan is vital to defeating the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan.
The survey showed that 81 percent of Pakistanis believe the activities of the Taliban and other Muslim extremists were ...]]></description>

Ever since people started fleeing the conflict in Swat and Buner two months ago, there has been incessant talk that they are returning home. There has been an almost continuous stream of stories about how people have packed up their scant belongings and are crowding the roads out of Mardan, returning to their former lives and whatever destruction awaits them.

The terms Al Qaeda, Taliban, militants are now a nightmare for the world but why they all are hiding only in Pakistan? Osama is always searched in Pakistan; Afghan war can&#8217;t be conducted without our help than why only we are the sufferers, while we are the victims also?

The Pakistani military through its own channels has shared evidence with the U.S. military about Indian support for terrorism in Pakistan&#8217;s tribal belt and Swat.
The evidence was embarrassing for the Americans because they have been defending Indian presence in Afghanistan and have also been defending the opening up of Indian consulates in areas close to the Pakistani border.
