Politicians are bickering whether military courts should be set up or not while people and soldiers are being killed by the terrorists and religious fanatics. Shame on these politicians.

Government should immediately ban all news of violence in Pakistan. If it is not shown on TV or news, the terrorists will have no progress, people morale remain high and the terrorists loose the battle.
