Those who tacitly support radicals are also to be considered as radicals. All I am trying to say is that fighting Islamism is like treating cancer. You have to kill the rogue cells while trying to prevent the spread. If you concentrate only on the killing part, the patient dies.

Balochs also resent the construction of the deep-sea port in Gwadar, as they fear the port would be used to rob their resources.
No wonder India would like to pRAWide some support to baluchs. If you can kick the Gwadar project, you can kick the combined musharaffs of TSP and Chinkil.
