I mean nothing ... individuals come and go. The greater objective is the Pakistan which will continue.” He said Pakistan was passing through a critical stage. “We are facing a host of accusations. I have tried to convince the world leaders that we are not a rouge state but now we have to prove by our actions that we are not extremists and we don’t support terrorists.” He said the Ummah must also choose between confrontation and conciliation. “If we choose the course of confrontation with a view to conquer the world, we are mistaken ... The only way out is the conciliatory course.” www.dailytimes.com.pk He said there was an understanding now in world capitals that political disputes involving Muslim nations must be solved. “The powers-that-be want to move forward towards resolution of disputes and this is the time we can draw an advantage for the Ummah by shunning extremism.” The president said the peace deal with tribal elders in North Waziristan was aimed at fighting the Taliban. “It (the deal) does not mean that the military action five years before was wrong. We are dealing with this problem administratively, politically and militarily. The world has understood this strategy.”
