This is why I said don’t bring in Iraq into this discussion as all it does is allow obfuscation. We cannot discuss Iraq adequately here because the topic is something else and we are unable to discuss the topic on hand because some of you keep reaching and derailing.

No USA is not responsible for creating terrorists whether it be in Iraq or Pakistan. Yeah if they stay in Iraq or Pakistan they can certainly subdue the terrorists but then you all will start shouting western imperialism and hegemony if they do that.

Why is it so difficult for you all to readily agree that using terrorism as a strategy and not be bitten by it, as has been happening in Pakistan, have been proven impossible, akin to eating the cake and wanting to have it. You have to either give up terrorism or keep getting bitten by it - isn’t the answer straight forward?

When STEM is not taught, whether it is a Madrassah or western school, you cannot have engineers. You have to either add STEM or import engineers.

When you don’t produce oil but consume it, you either have to import it or stop consuming it.

Even in america they have accepted that the iraq war diverted resources (special ops, drones) when it was much needed to finish the job in afghanistan. I know that you are an indian of gujrati or some north indian descent who has to hate Pakistan like a religion, but facts are facts.

Pakistan should have done more in FATA and US should have done more in afghanistan (not allow poppy to grow or the british pay-for-stay deals with taliban in helmand) but what happened did happen.
