I am not a fan of taliban or wahabbism, but with an afghan state dependent on pakistan economically and the safety valve for trouble is to send refugees to Pakistan, I think that it does invite pakistan’s dealings with NGOs in afghanistan.

What do you think would happen to afghan army the moment US steps out of afghanistan? Afghanistan wants cross border control, yet doesn’t want fences on the border and actually has shot and killed pakistani troops on the border. you can’t dream of having afghanistan up to indus river and then the above factors and not invite Pakistan’s interference in afghanistan. I think Vali Nasr makes more logical arguments than Zakaria.

so supporting animals like taliban is a better policy than having good friendly relationship with a democratically elected govt of ashraf ghani who wants to have good relationship with pakistan? \

and even if afghanistan has an anti-pakistan elected govt, does it mean we start unleashing these animals called taliban on afghan people instead of improving relationship with them via foreign policy routes?

no wonder, in every survey over 80 percent of afhghans especially in urban cities hate pakistan…because afghans hate taliban and they see pakistan as sole supporter of taliban…
