Swat Treaty: A new Hope

Finally, President Asif Ali Zardari has signed a regulation imposing Islamic sharia law in the Swat valley as part of a deal to end Taliban violence. Critics say the government has caved in to militant pressure but many residents of Islamabad, said they hoped the agreement would bring peace after 18 months of bloodshed. Although, International lobby is active demolish the treaty by any means. But it seems that Pakistani Govt has finally decided to take a stand on American Policy, which is quiet underlying from last 10 years. Some days ago, two American officials were here to increase pressure on Pakistan's governing body but they failed to do so. It is also being heared that Gen Pasha also denied to meet with them. This shows a clear change in Pakistan's policy about US. The first result is the arrival of John Kerry, a moderate and well known american personal. He is here to smoothen all that. Becauser US also know that without Pakistan, the war on terror is not easy to win. So he needs Pakistan. But Pakistan, rather then taking advantage of this situation, was giving it advantage. But now it seems that the scene is gona change. Lets hope for good.
