<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A couple of years ago, when writing about Swat, I had used one of Lenin’s revolutionary maxims: <b>“Probe with a bayonet: if you meet steel, stop. If you meet mush, then push.” Time and again, extremists, terrorists and just plain criminals have been meeting mush, and they have been pushing.</b> The result of this aggressive probing is that the state’s writ now barely extends beyond the boundaries of Mingora.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Increasingly, Zardari resembles a man with a begging bowl in one hand, and a gun in the other pointed at his own head. The reality is that for decades, we have sacrificed the bulk of our resources to support a vast defence apparatus we could ill afford.</b> The extremist menace that threatens to destroy us was largely a creation of our own military establishment. And now that we need the army to defend us, we find it is not up to the task.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
