Swatting the Taliban

Seems, according to an article in the Christian Science Monitor, that the Pakistanis are getting tired of the Taliban lolling about in their tribal areas, particularly now that they're using suicide bombers in the so-called 'settled areas' closer to the capital. They just sent 15,000 troops into Swat, in the NorthWest Frontier Province, barely 100 miles from Islamabad. They've killed fifteen militants since arriving last week, with more expected as the 'boots on the ground' settle in for the long war against terrorism. The Taliban has been beheading local security personnel and "imposing their own harsh brand of Islamic law" on the area. Maybe, just maybe, the rest of the Islamic world will get tired of this shit and decide to take out the problem. We can only hope...
