The snake-keeper’s deepening troubles were exemplified by the recent massacre of 132 schoolchildren in Peshawar by militants no longer under the control of Pakistan’s generals.

养蛇者自食其果的例子是不在巴基斯坦将军控制下的武装分子最近在白沙瓦屠杀了132名在校学习的孩子。直接导致这一恶果的是20世纪80年代后巴基斯坦军事机构一直培养圣战武装分子作为反对印度和阿富汗国家政策的工具。因为长期培养恐怖分子代理组织，巴基斯坦军方已经使其他武装力量在该国根深蒂固，并使圣战文化渗透到每一个角落。
