It defines the predicament the US faces in Afghanistan. But I doubt if the job is even “half-done” because Taliban remain a potent force in the country and perhaps most relevant party today. Secondly, Afghanistan in no way is better than what it used to be. The labyrinthian dynamics of the country are still as complicated as ever and it’s not a safe place either — neither for itself, nor for the rest of the world.

It is a well known fact that majority of Al qaeda and taliban are hiding in Pakistan and Osama was found under the radar of pak army. Afghanistan is not the same as 2001, since then a decade has past and its citizens do not want a return of the Taliban. Moreover, there is a strong section of the society both inside and outside the gov’t willing to fight the Taliban. Are there people in Pakistan willing to fight the TTP. PTI, PMLn, JI, JUI and some powerfull individuals are the spoke persons of TTP. Afghanistan is are far better than in 2001, you cannot deny this fact. Since 2001, it has seen improvement in international relations, improved its infrastructure, army is established, warlords no longer control private armies, to a certain extent free media is established what more would you expect from a country that has been through war with a super power and its neighbours did not spare a moment in destroying it.
