Is the U.S heading for defeat in Afghanistan?

@hanibal

Democracy in Afghanistan or any Central Asian State? do you know anything about Afghanistan? any idea about the ground realities?

There are different kinds of democracies…there is the Jeffersonian Democracy which is in USA…and there is parliamentary democracy which is practiced by England and most of the British commonwealth…

Democracy can work in Afghanistan provided that there is a weak central government and most of the power is wielded by the provinces

I can understand why as a Pakistani democracy may seem like an alien concept to you.

@hanibal

apparently India have nothing else but Pakistan on their hands, the ground realities are, if some body have triplet in India, they blame it on Pakistan.. very few murders in India are not blamed on Pakistan, every thing else Happens in India, it is being blamed on Pakistan for last 62 years or so… so please get ur facts straight…

That is basically what the Pakistani media wants you to believe. India has moved on. India cares more about developing its economy and why would it risk that in a war with Pakistan. Do you really think that India gains with a Pakistan in turmoil? The chaos will spillover to India.

India prefers a stable Pakistan which is an economic partner rather than an adversary.

That is like USA preferring that Mexico is in chaos over a stable mexico. The mexican drug cartel is spilling over to USA.

@hanibal

I wish this has been the case, but on ground, they want to turn blind eye to China and want to focus on Pakistan…

And focus on what exactly on Pakistan…please elaborate

@hanibal

Funny, that you only noticed this, Indian thinks otherwise, any way this would have been an ideal scenario for India ( competing china) but the ground realities are bit harsh to digest,

How so?

The whole world when they talk about rising economies…they say China and India…

When they talk about global competitors…they say China and India…

Even the well received book, The World is Flat…talks about the rise of China and India…

@hanibal

anyways, Pakistan want to have a friendly govt in Afghanistan so that it doesn’t have to worry about NWFP and Balochistan borders, where Indians fund and launch terrorist using Afghanistan.. now it is in Interest of Pakistan to have stronghold in Afghanistan and at the same time restrict Indians to their limits… I don’t know what problem you have in this game?

So you much rather prefer a friendly dictatorship which brutalizes its people over a democracy which is not taking its marching orders from Islamabad?

And do you have any proof that India is funding all these attacks or you just can’t comprehend that there are muslims extremists who are launching these attacks and you just use India as a typical excuse to explain the failures of Pakistan

@hanibal

may be not, or may we will get it back, thankyou for your advice and please get back to your work.. we will try to have it back..

ok…and while you are trying…most of Pakistan’s resources are being wasted on this pointless struggle and the country is not being developed…brilliant strategy…and then you blame India for pakistan’s failures…wow…blame anyone but yourself

@hanibal

We are doing it and we while doing so, we have to eliminate the risks ( which you will never understand) like any average american you are advocating democracy in Afghanistan which is a laughing stock in its self, please let the countries groom by** themselves** and let choose their style of govt according to their cultures.. strange enough american does not promote democracy in Middle east ( may be oil is at risk) …

so the taliban were an afghan creation? didn’t pakistan create them in 1992 and use them to take over Afghanistan to create strategic depth?

I just read a poll in which 90% of people of Afghanistan are against the Taliban…thats why they seek refuge in Pakistan and cannot hide in Afghan cities because they do not enjoy local support…

Afghan people do not support the Taliban…whether you mr.hanibal like it or not.
