True, the talibandits doesn't need more weapons, but the people they victimize do. Yes, it IS brilliant. Next time they try to burn down a girl's school...POW !!! POW !!!...the talibums get a lesson in democracy! I love it!

The United States will see these militias carrying weapons and call them terrorist and fire rockets at them. Somebody needs to rethink things here. < :-)

...and you trust the Pakistan military to make a distinction between the Taliban (which they created) and the "villagers" from which the Taliban is recruited, on the basis of islam, which is the founding principle of Pakistan. Smoke and mirrors for gullible kuffars like us.

Well now we all know (for sure) which side Pakistan really is on. I just wonder long it will be before the Taliban are given access to Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.

The new Pakistan government is a complete tool. What a waste, this new and improved Pakistan needs to be cleaned up.....Now how do we take care of this little problem? Ah I got it, we help India rid themselves of their problem cheap easy way to take care of this.

“Mahmood Shah, a former head of security for Pakistan’s tribal regions, said arming civilians could trigger civil war in the northwest, where tribal and political tension is at fever pitch.”
This is very old game know as “Let’s you & him fight”.

I think you are reasoning along the same lines but on a larger scale.

Any government that arms civilians with heavy fire power is only asking for trouble. Especially arming areas where they do not control. I wonder what will be the next group the world will have to deal with because of this Pakistani governments action.
Hell why doesn't this Pakistani government just start handing out nukes, same concept but on a more destructive scale.
As I stated before, the "new" Pakistani government needs to be replaced.
