Hello, I agree with U that FATA area is outside of Pakiland. But remember around 1810-12 timeframe Shri Shri Ranjit Singhji did give them a severe beating and broke their backbone in a battle called "Battle of Naushera". The Pathan pride was totally crushed and Kohinoor diamond was returned to him. So it's possible to tame that area, only thing needed is the willpower. Imagine Airstrikes backed by Gurkha force on the land...
