What Pakistani army is doing needs admiration.  It is a step in the right direction to eradicate terror menace from the territory.  However, this military operation has a very sad addendum attached to it.   Sad in the sense that it took the lives of over 140 innocent children belonging to the army officers for the Pakistani army to launch a military operation.  In the past, these militants had killed thousands of innocent people whose blood was just wasted without any repercussion to the fanatics.  Now, the time will tell how successful this military operation is going to be.  But this writer is very apprehensive about this partial military operation - partial because they are going after the TTP only and not touching the other non-state actors, the leaders of LeT and JuD and JeD.  These are the actors who are in cohoot with the Pakistani/ISI nexus.  These actors are openly preaching a 7th century jihad ideology against all non-Sunis and non-Muslims.  I don't think the Pakistani government realizes that this ideology is going to be the cause of downfall of Pakistan in the long run.  Therefore, it is essential for Pakistan to root out this ideology and put all these fanatics behind bar without any parole.  This is the right time for Pakistan to set aside all the political and personal interests and think about the survival of a nation first.
