CM, thats so lame. If someone believes in an tolerant middle of the road Pakistan, you guys call them self-hating. Merc and Firenze are just as patriotic as any other Paki on the forum.
If Pak succeeded on telling the Yanks about there perception in Afghanistan, then thats good. We have our interests there, and they need to be protected.
If anyone actually believes that the Indians are behind the Taliban, then they need a quick appointment with a good psychiatrist. The Indians support the Baluch insurgency, thats a fact. And they were responsible for the dismemberment of the country, so they have done plenty of wrong to us. But these Salafist Taliban are home grown, and thrive on the fact that there are people in the Pakistan security establishment, who support them. Plenty of ex-ISI (General Gul) officers have had very close links with Fazullah. The Swat Taliban is definetely the creation of the ISI, and goes back to the early 90s, when the sponsored Sufi Mohammed. This monster was created to weaken the ANP in the Yousafzai (Swat, Dir, Malakand etc). The weoponary is also been supplied by the ISI. So lets no compare oranges with apples.
