^^^In that case what is stopping the US and Afghans from closing the Afghanborder? The fact is, Afghanistan is a tribal nation where tribal royalties are more important than the concept of nationhood as it is understood in western world & that is why eventually the US will have to go & Afghans will have come up with solution to fix Afghan problems. No outside solution imposed by anyone will work.

Only the 50 million Afghans/Pashtuns can decide to close the “Afghan border” and that is not going to happen anytime soon. Afghanistan might be a fragmented nation but its concept of nationhood is evolving and its institutions like police and army are being built with the help of of allies like the US, UK and India. Certainly when it comes to spite against Pakistan, Afghan sense of nationhood is strong.

The world will not allow another 9/11 hatched in Afghanistan so when NATO leaves, another Taliban government backed by Pakistan will not be allowed to take over. I agree imposing an outside solution will not work if that solution is detrimental to Afghanistan’s citizens. Which is all the more reason why Pakistan should not have hedged its bets on groups like the Haqqanis.

What do you know about Afghanistan - India - Pakistan relationship? Do you know what was relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan before so called “sowing”? in 1980s? in 1970s? You need to learn a bit of history before jumping to conclusions.

You need to learn to argue instead of jumping up and down and taking statements out of context. Afghanistan’s relations with Pakistan have always been troubled. Even before there was ‘strategic depth’ there was the Durand Line. Pakistan, however, does not have any right to use proxies, terrorism, puppet regimes, and interference in Afghanistan.

Sure, do you add salt when the same Taliban"claim" of a high profile explosion as rightly pointed out by CM?.

Who else can be responsible for it? Unless you believe, as many Afghans do, that ISI/Pakistan are directly behind such explosions.
