It is indeed a very sad and heart breaking news as to what happened in Pakistan.  These fanatics outlaws militants have no mercy and they don't even think for a minute to murder innocent people just to propagate their religious views.  These brainwashed and misguided bunch of thugs needs to be removed from the face of this earth.  Our heart goes to the bereaved families and may Almighty God bestow upon the families all the strength to bear this irreparable loss.  Mr. Nawaz Sharif said it right that there are no 'good or bad' Talibans.  He lifted a moratorium on the death penalty for the militants.  This writer agrees with his analysis.  When it comes to devastation and killing in the name of furthering their un-Islamic views, they are all the same and need to be met with full force.  Unfortunately, what Pakistani leaders say and do are two different things.  The very next day of this incidence, the Pakistani court freed Mr. Lakhvi the founder of LeT and mastermind of November 26, 2008 attack in Mumbai, India on a one million rupees bail.  Just to remind the world, in that attack more than 162 innocent lives were lost too.  So, if Mr. Sharif is so upset with the loss of innocent lives in the Peshawar, Pakistan military school and willing to punish the TTP entity with full force till they are eliminated from the Pakistani territory, whey then he is letting Mr. Lakhvi - a proven criminal - go scot-free on bail.  For that matter, why no action is being taken against Mr. Lakhvi's buddy Mr. Saeed, another LeT leader who was also involved in the Mumbai attack?  The US government has $10 Million bounty on Mr. Saeed's head, but the government in Pakistan has turned a blind eye on this case.  On the contrary, Pakistani government/Military/ISI are financing, abetting and organizing all the religious and political moves of Mr. Saeed.  Mr. Saeed just conducted a big get together in Lahore and the government establishments provided special trains to bring people for this gathering from all over Pakistan.  So, even though what happened in Peshawar is unfortunate and needs serious condemnation, but this writer is very apprehensive about the seriousness on the part of Pakistani government in Islamabad to eradicate the militancy from its territory.  I feel what Pakistani leaders are saying right now on this incident is diplomatic and courteous statements to appease the public, and they are in no position or have the determination to achieve their objective and i.e. to eliminate the menace of terror from its root cause.
