"Views over north Waziristan towards south Waziristan, where the Pakistan army are fighting the Pakistan Taliban. Not easy country to fight in. (I took the photos from a plane flying home from Pakistan earlier this year)"
It's so beautiful to see the sun coming up on the snowy peaks, five miles up yet it's only half a mile or so to the ground; seeing the little girls going to the well and leading the cows out to the pasture.

The terrain does look rather uninviting. Lovely photo's though Hugh.

Not a terrain for a conventional style of warfare.
Isn't this given as a /the reason why such areas in the region have never (almost never?) been conquered/subdued?
