Each programming language is suitable for solving certain type of problems. So when I see a catch-all statement like "All Programming Languages are Wrong", it seems to me the author is implying that "None of the programming languages solve my (or this specific type of) problem."

Why does one have to kill people from one side or the other?
The strike was done on the terrorists which in this case happen to be on Pakistan side.
Terrorism isn't going away itself. One or both the nations need to take action on them.
