Empowerment or overeacting.

In Khar Pakistan the government ordered that almost 50,000 Arghan refugees would be deported. The refugees it is expelling is in the Bajur tribal region. The government made the decision to ex spell the refugees due to the ties to the terrorist organization al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Police in the town have arrested 25 Afghans and they eventually will be deported. Abdul Hasseb a government official, has confirmed police have been ordered to push refugees completely. Also, their homes would be bulldozed to prevent them from coming back. The government has been taking a lot of pressure from U.S forces in order to control , but in the process have taking many lives.
In my opinion stronger government acting should have been taking is the beginning. Is shows now how effective the strong arm method seems to be. American intervention doesn't seem to work as well as their on governments. The government in the middle east have to advantage of many resources we don't. What they lack in military the may gain in the language, the lay of the land, and cultural appeal. It also takes a lot of money for the U.S military to use. U.S imperialism overseas shouldn't be taken likely. More police trained and surveillance would be beneficial towards to fight against terrorism. So with more government intervention and adequate influence on the land things may change.

I think that the US government needs to stay out of other countries business. The Pakistan government decided to order the Afghan people to be deported, and should carry it out, on their own, with their own way of doing it.

Pushing these people out of their homes and bulldozing their homes is just another way other countries deal with their problems. I agree that the US could be better used in other areas and that these other governments should handle their porblems themselves.
