I take issue with the statement made during the video eluding to the fact there is ONLY regional and local opposition. That isn't exactly correct. One cannot assess Pakistan without also including Kashmir.
Pakistan has a very poor history of peaceful enlightenment. Kahn literally sold nuclear secrets to North Korea and conducted proliferation against any treaty that exists.
Although imprisoned for a time, the recent release of extremists within the country is a concern. The 'populous' POWER that exists in the region IS the destablizing entity within its borders and those that 'conduct' the outrage and violence know they have power.
It is a huge mistake to 'minimize' the struggle that goes on between extremists/terrorists and the recognized government. It is not SIMPLY a regional or local struggle, it is a movement within Pakistan that endangers the entire globe and it must be contextualized correctly, the dynamics addressed actually within intelligence agencies and something needs to done. If it is humanitarian aid needed foremost by the people than it should be started.
Nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan waves to the media after his court verdict outside his residence in Islamabad February 6, 2009. A Pakistani court declared on Friday disgraced nuclear scientist Khan a free man, his lawyer said. Khan, lionised by many Pakistanis as the father of the country's atomic bomb, was pardoned but placed under house arrest in 2004 by the then president, Pervez Musharraf, soon after he made a televised confession to selling nuclear secrets to Iran, North Korea and Libya.
