On-site coverage from 2 reporters gathering facts and impressions from local military, Swat residents, and Taliban to show how recent Swat military offensive is not the last word on Taliban action.

Frankly, I am disheartened by the neverending conflict coverage. What are the roots of the conflict? What is the larger context of this conflict? What back channel discussions are taking place? What do local people want to see happen? What is a peacemaker''s view of the situation? Other than fighting to exhaustion, what could end the conflict? In what ways is the US involved?
