Re: are we?
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.
