Waziristan Accord

Is the Waziristan Accord a real attempt to deal with the foreign troublemakers in the area or is it a sham?

In well-argued articles, Noblesse Oblige and The Fourth Rail have different perspectives but both argue a convincing case.

As is often the case, I think it is probably a bit of both. Either way, the worry remains that the Taliban will use the area to regroup for a new assault on ISAF forces in Afghanistan.
