Pakistan, next Taliban regime?

Today Pakistani president, Asif Al Zardari, signed a treaty with militant Taliban's to establish saria law in Swat region. This is very alarming to me. Taliban's are controlling lawless Afghanistan and now starting to take control over Pakistan. What's next?

This is a significant threat to the south East Asia’s stability. I think Bangladesh and Indian's leadership needs to take aggressive measure's to stop the Taliban militancy further east. Bangladesh just had a free and fair election and already faced with terrorist attacks (BDR Massacre). I would strongly urge Prime Minister Sheik Hasina and her leadership to crack down on Islamic militants. Start awareness program aimed at youth, so Islamic militants can't recruit them to expand their influence and militancy. Awami League govt. should take the Pakistan incident very seriously and implement countermeasures in Bangladesh immediately.

If we failed to do so, Bangladesh will be the next victim of Islamic militants group like Taliban. And Afganistan is an example of a Taliban regime.

I agree. This step by the Pak government seems very very reckless. How can they allow Taliban to completely take over a whole sector of their country? These extremists have already flogged girls publicly and committed numerous acts that will completely mess up the entire Swaat region. Who knows what's next? Im pretty sure Mr Obama will send some of his troops deployed in Afghanistan to that region after some time to oust the taliban from Pakistan... And only God knows what kind of problems that will lead to... geeez
