World: Sometimes war in the answer?

Pakistani villagers fighting the Taliban.

Excerpt:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Hundreds of Pakistani villagers who have formed an anti-Taliban militia battled for the fourth day Tuesday to remove the Islamic militants from a region of northwest Pakistan.

The Pakistani military is supporting the militia, or "lashkar," in Upper Dir district on the request of local officials and tribal elders, military spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas told CNN.

Outraged over a suicide attack on a local mosque during Friday prayers, about 400 residents formed the militia early Saturday and began battling Taliban militants. The attack on the anti-Taliban mosque killed at least 40 people and wounded 80 others.

When it is possible, peaceful means should be used to resolve problems. But sometimes, people have to stand up and say, enough, we aren't going to take this anymore.

Hats off to these brave Pakistani villagers!
