Was it down to the wishes of the Pakistani people or was it due to intimidation from the Americans when Richard Armitage a senior American politician threatened to bomb Pakistan back into the Stone Age.

Pakistanis never wanted to live under a govt like Taliban anytime. At least the majority. But the majority was supporting Taliban in Afg because they were believed to be on Pak’s side because Pak ISI created them.
After 9-11 Pak tried hard to convince them to give up OBL but they refused. They became a liability. And Pak had to give up their support.
When Taliban stopped this support then they ganged up on Pak and started their terror campaign in Pak itself. This further alienated Pak majority from them.

Now you ask me personally if I support the war against Taliban. The answer is yes. I consider this war more of Pak’s war. America’s concern is not Taliban but Qaeda. They don’t care about Taliban govt in Afgh. But Pak shouldn’t take this risk and make sure that Taliban ideology is defeated.

I beg your pardon, when have I demonized Muslims or Islam? I do not know how you have come to that conclusion, you do not know me and jumping to such conclusions is about as ignorant as assuming all Muslims are terrorists just because some indulge in terrorist activities.

Not you personally. But people like you believe the real Islam to be the one as represented by the most radical fanatics. This is common theme in the media around the world.
