Pakistan must help Solve Afghan refugee problem

Afghan refugees have suffered tremendously, and we ought to treat them kindly. Talibanic terrorists are making life hell in Afghanistan, so pushing refugees there is not going to create good situation for anybody.

Refugees are being used as an escape goat for many problems Pakistan. However the issues such as "poor infrastructure", or "obsolete tax system" have true blue Pakistani roots.

Here are my suggestions.

1. Afghans born in Pakistan should be given Pakistani citizenship and should be accepted as Pakistani brothers and sisters.

2. Afghans who wish to go back, should be given means to sustain their lives back home. We must help them monetarily (they won't need much to begin with), and militarily. This is time to help cleanup Afghan side so these refugees have a safe place.

3. Redeploy all Pakistani troops from Wazirastan to hot spots in Afghanistan. If we add 70,000 troops to the coalition forces, Afghanistan will be able to function very quickly, thus providing safe living.
