I was in south Africa for a business trip when my uber driver picked me up from my hotel. he turned out to be fro,m Afghanistan. he was well educated and we had a good discussion. he asked me few questions:

1. at this point almost every educated afghan hates pakistan even though we are muslim neighbors plus pak was our ally in russian war. why? why dont Pakistanis never think about it. Just to say that we afgans are kammenay ehsan faramosh will not get the right answer, he insisted

2. why has pakistan always sided with dark illiterate forces namely taliban since 90s?

3. his 3rd question was an interesting one: imagine if Afghanistan was 10 times larger than Pakistan, imagine if afghanistan had an agency like ISI and army as big as pakistan and Pakistan was a small country dependent upon Afghanistan, and Afghanistan army/ISI would have done everything to enforce animals like taliban upon Pakistan for its own strategic reasons and those taliban would have created a hell in pakistan, how would pakistanis feel about afghanistan?

i gave him some answers but i thought he made some good points. our amry/ISI needs to answer that after 40 years, why is afghanistan against us. it is 100% their failure as they controlled all those policies.

The afghans did try but lost due to political situation and the bigger pakistani economy. You should have asked him if afghans feel remorse for attacking Pakistan in 1947, sixties (bajaur incursion) and giving money to tribals from 50s - 70s to rebel against pakistan.

I guess that they can somehow justify supporting TTP and BLA that ironically kill large amounts of the border regions / provinces of Pakistan.
