That 27% is not significant and I don’t think your fish market example should be applied to country to country strategic relationships. Not only does alienating one group provide openings for Iran and INDIA, but it also limits your influence since groups don’t have to compete for power. If Pakistan can have a relationship with masood in the past, then surely it can work with some sane leaders in NA considering how sane taliban are.

I am sure you have seen how coalition governments work, talking to too many groups just to avoid one group is not going to be a lasting solution.

We have a stupid bunch of Generals runnng Pakistan and they are ruining it to the ground. They dont care to be honest because they will flee if things got very bad in Pakistan.

They need to focus on Pakistan first. Most Pashtuns in Pakistan believe that life in Afghanistan is much better than life in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

thank you for much needed laugh.
