  Quote International Crisis Group:

  "a virtual mini Taleban-style state" had been allowed to flourish."

  "Over the past five years, the Musharraf government has tried first brute force, then appeasement. Both have failed,"

  "Islamabad's tactics have only emboldened the pro-Taleban militants."

  The report said Pakistan's policy of releasing militants, returning their weapons and allowing "foreign terrorists stay on a promise to give up violence" had stoked instability on both sides of the border.

  "This has given pro-Taleban elements license to recruit and arm, resulting in a serious increase in cross-border attacks against US, Nato and Afghan forces."

    Update BBC:

    11 DEC 06 - 17:50 GMT

    Afghanistan is experiencing the most deadly insurgent violence in five years, much of it staged and launched from the border regions.

    The International Crisis Group called for the United States and the European Union to press Pakistan to crack down on militants in the tribal areas.

    And it said urgent political and economic reforms were needed to help curb extremism before it overtook the entire region.

    The tribal areas are thought to be one place where al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, who is wanted for masterminding the attacks, could be hiding.

  Appeasement only begets more warfare..."foreign terrorists stay on...a promise??..to give up violence" is poppycock...all these local fire/fights and human/bombings wont go away on a promise...you have to liquidate your enemy in the field; that he understands exactly....until the USA-Britain and NATO win outright, coalition armed forces will be embroiled in fuedalistic warfare that aids the enemy's mission ad infinitum...what is transpiring presently in Afganistan is exactly what occured in Queen Victoria's reign when "Rule Britainnia" was the world's policeman...same scene, same righteous aims but only the weapons/ordinance have changed and Uncle Sam is the new world's policeman since WW2 ended with an unconditional surrender of Axis armed forces...does anyone see an unconditional surrender yet, in Afaganistan or Iraq??...hell NO...so limited warfare, carnage, bedlam and mayhem will continue...there is no substitue except for...victory!!!

  Op-Ed

  Have lived among Pakistan immigrants within Europe for more than three decades. These were anti-American while

  Iran was America's friend, under the Shah.

  The leopard does not loose his spots. Nothing has changed as to Pakistan.

  These are a few morsels many Americans do not know:

  Pakistan has taken the American produced missile,'Tomahawk' have copied it, producing these last year at approximately three thousand US Dollars each. It is unknown how many of these missiles have been sold and exactly whom.

  Pakistan can deliver a clean nuclear bomb to Israel and beyond.

  The fear inside the United Kingdom, with assistance from 'pakistani extremists', a dirty bomb to be exploded over a widely populated British town.

    Both Security services within Britain and America have shared 'intelligence' of air passengers with Pakistan. The data of residence addresses and even passport numbers have gone to both the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

    Both Britain and the United States will regret this present relationship with Pakistan. Our prayer in that era, will not be the carnage and loss of life, as we saw on 9 11. Or should we reciprocate a return reply to our then enemy, will be that of an overwhelming response.
