Pakistanis and Afghans are really fed up of the war going on in the region for the past 10 years. I hope the Americans genuinely involve a broad spectrum of people from Pakistan and Afghanistan to chalk out their strategy which is based on mutual respect and trust so that we could see the end of the crisis.

This is the nub of the problem which could be duely attributed to world-famous American arrogance. The country whose overconfidence was laid to rest in Vietnam and which miraculously avoided default recently, is still not willing to accept the reality that in some cases, there are people who could think and do better than the US. The obsession of making things work for them through their mighty war machine is the only way they know to operate. I had recently quoted Winston Churchill in a thread and just cannot help doing so again: Americans will do the right thing after they’ve exhausted all the alternatives."
