It's been almost a decade, and still West is fighting a war against terrorism under the leadership of the United States. Interestingly, the key-players who initiated this full-fledged war belong to West but the war theatre is being staged in the countries like Iraq, Afghanistan & the tribal areas of Pakistan --- all belonging to the East. Full force is being applied, destruction is carried out, no discrimination is allowed to be made between terrorists & innocent public, and as a result poor East faced thousands of innocent cassualties, much more than the incident of 9/11 terrorism, but yet success is far away for the leading participants in this war.

Officials sitting in the United States, 11927 kilometers away from the war zone, built plans & strategies and do all other decision-making stuff related to the war against terror. Inferences and assumptions in the mind of Americans are being imposed on the allied countries in the war zone. Allied governments in the war zone can see the ground realities but they can not act accordingly. They are not free. They are tied by their needs that are being exploited at the hands of the developed countries of the West. They can only implement the plan that has a seal of Made in America. This is the major cause of why West can not be able to achieve success in this war.

West always gives priority to the use of force. War theatre is not being staged in the West, so their populace is free from any danger, and this encouraged them further to the use of force. They applied force brutally. This resulted into heavy collateral damage. Local population's sufferings increased tenfold. They are pushed to the wall which led them to support the armed struggle against the West and its allied governments in the war zone.

World was living with this very obvious blunder, carried out by West. But, Pakistan, one of the unfortunate countries existing in the war zone, took exception to it lately. Her leaders built up some courage after immense public pressure, and decided to introduce a change in the strategy on their own. They identified one of the root cause of the sufferings of the local populace of the area, which was experiencing fearful fighting. People of Swat are demanding since long a judicial system that can provide them speedy, inexpensive, transparent and accountable justice. Government made a deal with them by promulgating an act of Nizam-e-Adl regulations.

Nizam-e-Adl Regulations are based on Shariah, an Islamic Law based on Quran and Sunnah of Holy Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H). Shariah is the law, when implemented in its true essence, can solve all the problems existing in any system. It can easily pass the test of logic & reason, but some so called "liberals" and pseudo-intellectuals, who are allergic to the name of Islam and Quran, are simply hell-bent on defaming it. All their arguments are hollow, and based on untrue assumptions, so should be ignored completely.

Announcement of the deal immediately ceases the fighting in the Swat valley. Public opinion takes a sharp turn in the favour of the Government. Armed terrorists are now losing the ground as far as public support is concerned. This will push them to lay down their arms, and after that they can easily come under the application of law. Terrorism can be eliminated without any bloodshed. 

This new change in the strategy in the war against terror should be welcomed by West, as it brings first success at the table. West should accept this fact that it miserably failed in leading this war, and now the command should be transfered to the East, which can pursue this war to a logical end in a timely manner.
