you don’t have to ASK anyone. Just study the present and understand the history.
In today’s globalized world, bad leaders/thakedars bring death and destruction to their own people’s home and country’s borders by inviting 1000 times bigger power.
And Mullah Umer was one such bad leader. And you can keep on beating the drums of hate and anarchy, and guess what? there will be more death and destruction.
However if you quit the religious shenanigans, and concentrate on being a good global citizen, and build and rebuild your country (like Chinese) then you or the country won’t be in deep $hite.
Millions of Americans you talk about have their tummies filled, and their homes are safe form foreign militaries. So they can afford the luxuries of being lefties and righties.
But for us Pakistanis, it is the do or die situation. If we don’t stand up for our own country and try to save from internal enemies and external threats, then we are doomed.
Aping few Americans (who by the way heavily supported Iraq/Afghan invasion at the time), is not good for Pakistanis. We are in different situations and must have a mindset that leads us to save our country and its civilized institutions.
