I just don't understand how people can say that Pakistanis helping the terrorism or the Taliban just by sitting 3-4 thousand miles away from Pakistan. Has any one of them ever visited Pakistan? Has anyone of them ever met with the Pakistani officials? Or even any Pakistani civilian who is residing in Pakistan?

It is so easy to sit far away and comment on the poor performance on the Pakistani government. I am not a government representative I live in Pakistan and I know how much we are trying to eliminate this thing out of our society. I know how much we have suffered through suicide bombers, bomb blasts, remote bombs and IEDs. How much innocent lives and how much monetary lost we have suffered, schools have been destroyed, leaders have been killed, soldiers have been martyred; and we are saying that Pakistan is helping terrorism. Has anyone seen the videos of these people how they cut of the throats of the security forces personals that they capture? Which government in the world would like to let its people die like this? None

A large no of army is deployed along the western borders with Afghanistan. And now a whole division of troops is fighting in the valley of Swat region. Daily a large number of militants are being killed and causalities are also being inflicted to army as well. We have our officers and soldiers of the Pakistan army being martyred daily.

Over a million people have been dislocated from the valley of Swatdue to this fighting. They are living under hot weather in tent with no supply of electricity and scarcity of water. An infant girl died of heat last night and we are saying that government is helping the terrorist.

The President of Pakistan has recently visited USA and several other countries and assured them that Pakistan is doing her best to eliminate terrorism but we need assistance in shape of money and logistics. He was well received and many countries including America have provided with the assistance or part of it.

So in the end I would like to say that if you really want to know the agony of Pakistani people just talk to some one who is living there, just by viewing the news channels and reading few articles of the foreigners don't mean that Pakistan is helping terrorism. We are peace loving nation and like other nations we want to finish of these people from the roots so please at least provide Pakistan with the moral support.
