The self evident truths in life are the best answer to the phoney Internet postings of terrorists and their fellow travelers.
It has taken quite a long time but now a growing number of Northern Pakistan tribes are rising up and fighting the Taliban and al Qaida. This has been enabled in large part, my view, by the recent and still strongly on going Pak military attacks on the Taliban and al Qaida in what I surely hope is fight to their death, the death of the violent Taliban and all al Qaida types.
Use of Pakitani helicopters in past two days to support ground ops by tribal militias against the Taliban is very encouraging to me, at least.
One area of censorship I do support, however, to be clear. Attemtping to spread racial and ethnic hatred should be flatly "shut down" as in blacked out in my book. No reason to use the excuse of free speech for that type of human garbage thinking and language.
In particuarl I note of late sputtering on various Pakhtun websites (worldwide) against European national laws disallowing talk and promotion of Nazism and ani-Semitism...5 years in prison for such stuff. Fully agree with this specific style and type of censorship, as it has helped clean up Europe ever since WW II.
Cheers, otherwise.
