As the army moves ahead with the operation in South Waziristan, the militants religious groups continue to pound Pakistani cities killing civilians.
Despite the carnage left by the militants, there is apparently no significant drop in the support of Taliban-styled militants amongst the conservative Pakistanis living abroad. Instead of holding the militants responsible for the mayhem, the religious-minded Muslims in the West continue to hold every one except the militants for the death and destruction in Pakistan.

There is a need to put the victims and the defenders of the militants face to face with the victims so that they could see the horrors unleashed at the innocent victims of this proxy war in Pakistan.
