With whats happening in our country nowadays, especially as far as violence and extremism is concerned, you cannot stop thinking of what could be possible ways out of this mess. I'm just thinking here, and it may seem significantly inappropriate to suggest something so outrageous, but with all the trouble we're having with the frontier province. including the fact, that a majority of the pashtuns have no respect for our government, our laws, and feel they have stronger social and cultural affiliations with Afghanistan and that the Durand Line is as controversial as it is, would we be not doing a favor to us and them by handing over the lawless parts of the province also called the tribal areas to the Afghanis.
Doing so would make it easier for our troops to put in more effort in regaining their stronghold on the more internal cities of the frontier rather than waste resources on the tribal areas. It would also allow the coalition forces to act freely against forces spreading violence in both countries since we have failed so miserably in curbing them.
As objectionable the idea of giving away land may seem, if we can hold forth, the then created borders and weed out the violent elements from society through media campaigns, public awareness, good governance, smart policies, better leaders…and hence I break my own argument as governance and leadership in this country are mere dreams and nothing more.
