Re: Kamra Airbase attacked

And your point here is what?

You blamed America for not trying a political outreach with the Taliban. When they try and they failed, then you are claiming that why did US tried a political outreach with the Taliban?

Mullah Omar is the leader of the Taliban, just like Hitler was the leader of the Nazis.

But there were Nazis under Hitler who wanted to end the war and make peace with the Allies. That is who US is trying to negotiate with and end the fighting. The so called good Taliban are those that can be brought onto the political framework.

But don’t be too happy. When US withdraws from Afghanistan in end of 2014, and there is no political stability in Afghanistan, it will be nightmare scenario for Pakistan.

A stable and prosperous Afghanistan with minimal Taliban influence is in the interests for all.

The same holds for Pakistan as well, I am sure there would be many amongst the TTP who would like to reconcile and live normal lives. The incorrigible should be isolated and captured/killed especially their higher command. The locals should be provided with opportunities to study and work so as to reduce the recruitment pool available to them.

I agree that stability in Pakistan is directly proportional to the stability in Afghanistan, but as things stand now after the withdrawal of ISAF forces, taleban would have a strong presence in Afghanistan as the whole of Eastern Afghanistan is under their control, and even in the South (Helmand and Kandhar) they have a strong presence. And I dont know what Pakistan can do in this regard.
