Re: are we?
using your theory of “protecting self interest”, lets remember america has strategic interest everywhere in the world since it is a truly global superpower. we are not. we have a very limited shpere and within that (as you pointed out) we do everything right or wrong to protect our self interest.
hani bhai, it is not fair that when it comes to pakistan’s involvement in afghanistan or its decision to support taliban or TTP in past, we justify it on the name of self interest but when it comes to usa or other countries, we start using moral compass or other theories to justify that these countries have no self interest there. let every country define its own “self interest” framework.
but anyway, you are acknowledging that supporting afghan taliban is in our self interest. and that is fine. i want an open discussion as to what do we common citizens of pakistan think of our army policy towards afghan taliban. appreciate honest opinion.
