@ehsan

agreed but my main point is that when Taliban use their bases in eastern Afghanistan to attack Pakistan where are the American forces, why can’t they stop them, after all they like to boast about how well equipped and modern technology they possess. is it connivance on their part or incompetence. Therefore they should look at their own deeds before openly attacking Pakistan all the time. Just like when Pakistan wants to talk to Taliban it is bad, yet they themselves are quite happy to talk to “good” Taliban.

Most people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Tribal Belt believe that the Pakistan Army and ISI actually are in connivance with the Taliban and aid these attacks to happen. There is an element of this no doubt when Swat was slipping out of government control both Taliban and Army had checkpoints within metres of one another.

The view is that if Pakistan shows the militancy is still strong they will receive more aid.
