Re: Pakistani Taleban: Run by foreign agencies
Show me evidence that YOU arent an agent of foreign agencies... Your circumstantial evidence is as convoluted and hyperbolic as any other conspiracy, which is why its probably highly unlikely.
Have you ever heard of Occam's razor? The simplest answer is usually the correct one. In this case, the simplest answer is that the TTP are nothing more then a bunch of terrorist goons, acting independently, under the cover of religious precepts, to establish a base of power through which they can extort and manipulate others and amass wealth... They are motivated by the very same thing that all humans who have tasted influence and power crave, more power and influence.
Foreign agencies are just a convenient means by which the minds of average Pakistanis like yourself can come to terms with the inherent contradictions thrown up by the likes of the TTP. Our mind craves simplicity and wants things to make sense. Thus we all have a concrete view of the world that the mind works over time in enforcing and reinforcing, regardless of how absurd or disconnected from reality it may be. When entities like the TTP challenge and chip away at that established order of the mind, the mind creates complex conspiracies and becomes paranoid. You see connections where there are none. Your "circumstantial" evidence is nothing more then an illusion created by your mind to reestablish your understanding of reality.
In this case perhaps, among other delusions, you may have difficulty coming to terms with the fact that those attacking and murdering your people are themselves 100 percent muslim, acting under the banner of Islam. So you create these conspiracy theories in your head, just Hekmatyar has, because it allows you to maintain you mental construct.
Show you evidence that I am not a foreign agent? You are so childish. Agents by definition are secret and are not going to be revealing their identities. However it would be safer for you to assume that I am a foreign spy than to assume that I am not.
The circumstantial evidence is not mine....it is out there for all to see and to analyse if only they have the capacity to do that.
The simple answer is usually the correct one? really? if that is the case and I can see that is will not be hard to fool people like you. Deception is as old as wars, and is an art. There is some truth to your claim that some of the militants are opportunists but that does not mean when interests are shared that they cannot be used.
There is no confusion in my mind. If I am an average Pakistani then I would think that you are a below average Pakistani. TTP either way needs to be dealt with but the world is not as simple as you make it out. You are the one seeking simplicity in life, you mind cannot comprehend the vast possibilities. I accept that most of the individuals involved are muslims so I don't have a problem with them being muslims either.
