The US first walked away from Afghanistan after defeating USSR paving way for Taliban to make inroads. After 911 they did not take Pakistan into confidence, and started attacking Afghanistan like a mad elephant with the result Taliban and alqaeda just crossed over. In the wake of 911, I saw the surge of arabs within the country (I am talking of Islamabad itself). They did not give Pakistan the chance to man their porous borders with Afghanistan. Now the US has no role in the mess? Very convenient.

Involving in Afghanistan war in the eighties was the second biggest mistake of generals. First was the denial of rights to Bengali. Pakistan will suffer more if these generals will not go where they belong, the military barracks and shun playing third class politics and playing the military professionals at the same time.
