Question: Do you support taliban or not? Then we will talk further, and will give you detail answer why 30 other nations are failed or not.
Just a pointer, what happened to Talibans in Bajour, Pak Army kicked their ass very badly their. Stay tune....but do answer the question.. ;)
I would reply to you with an indepth answer, but the second part of your post made me think about all the time I'd be wasting trying to answer you. So I will instead post a shorter answer, and perhaps run into you here and there and we'll have our lil chit chats. But I assure you I am not even going to bother trying to educate you on anything.
I support ideologies which do not oppress other people, which do not infringe on the rights of others. Ideologies that have goals and are honourable. I don't support people who make movements out of fear, or greed. Movements to please other people.
Taliban was a students movement out of Afghanistan. Bajour does not contain a majority of Taliban. What the Pak Army is doing there, will not effect, or destroy the movement known as Taliban. Pakistan recognized the Taliban as a legitimate government. The west did not.
After 911, WMDs were supposedly being developed in Iraq, and Taliban were hiding Osama bin Laden.
Where are the WMDs and Bin Laden? What happened to that focus?
The reason I bring these two points up, is because people tend to forget. No one has the answer thus far.
Anyways, the new focus is this "taliban" threat to Pakistan. As if Pakistani Army picks potatoes in a field and cant' do much about it.
Let me tell you something. Chitral was cleaned out by the Pakistani Army, and US bases were removed. I commend the army for that. They had no business being there.
As for this front against the "taliban threat" in the north, trust me, I Pak Army if wanted can remove Taliban from that area, however they cannot eliminate the Taliban.
This is all on a premise that Taliban actually ARE a threat to Pakistan's sovereignty.
Pakistan is currently losing its strength as a military might in the region, by going to war with itself.
The problem is how people on this forum are cheering that on.
