Loss of human lives is always a tragedy, wherever it happens. Just because it has happened in Pakistan, we need not rejoice about it. Think of the families of the dead and don't make insensitive remarks.
Pakistanis should also ponder over why their country has become a hotbed of terrorists, fundamentalists and extremists of all hues. The short sighted policies followed by the Pakistani rulers from Gen.Zia onwards has resulted in the growth of Islamic extremism. Gen.Zia and his successors encouraged the spread of Islamic fundamentalism just to spite India. Now the monster of fundamentalism is turning upon its creators. Only now, after the extremists threatened to take over Peshawar, the Pakistani establishment has woken up to the danger it has created. Let us hope that good sense prevails at least now.

This is indeed a matter to rejoice and celebrate. Not because poor policemen got killed - they are just fuel in the hands of the politician-clergy - but because these incidents will eventually enlighten the ignorant muslims that they and their lives are being gambled by the politician- clergy duo. As it happened in India where most of the illiterates are aware of what is going on and why it is so - thanks to the penetration of the electronic media - the indoctrinated and ignorant muslims will also wake up sooner than later. May the souls of those slain rest in peace.

The politico-clergy combination never suffers in such incidents. maybe they are the ones behind it all to keep the pot boiling and suppress the voice of the common man by violence.When the very existence of a man is threatened he wont talk of peace ,democracy or his rights.
