Civil and military Pakistani leadership is enjoying luxurious life and governance in the fortified palaces and has left the tribal people for dying by the US' drones' strikes except giving protesting and condemning statements only and only verbally....

Same old story - Pakistan officials knew there were militants in compound but did nothing about it - American's attack with drones and Pakistan confirms deaths. How about starting a new trend - Pakistan uses it's own aircraft to attack militants and send them a message to leave Pakistan or die.

IK Dont become irrelevant. organize a peace march to north waziristan
