Do you know that east Afghanistan itself has become a sanctuary for the taleban and the Americans have not done anything about that. The Pakistani border with Afghanistan is porous and it can never be ensured that the traffic between the two countries stops. Anyways the Americans can improve and clear the areas on afghan side and they have not done that, so much so the elements that Pakistan had driven out are in eastern Afghanistan and even the elements who are troubling Americans. Last year the helicopter which was carrying American seals was shot down in the area, the Americans can do what ever they have the media on their side. Pakistan should adopt its policies according to its interests and not driven by American interests in the region.

US means international opinion, even if some has opinion otherwise, they hardly matter. US would target only taleban which is strategical challenge to them:). Honestly, I don’t expect any pact more than SOFA, where American forces would be stone throw away from the region. Pakistan at most can monitor but can’t control tribal agencies, but pakistan has to find a win-win situation so that it does not lose economically and remains favorable in international circles. First is to eliminate TTP and see that it is unable to operate in Pakistan and secondly try that its soil is not used in any anti-US interests in Afghanistan. One part of that can even include using surplus terrorist operating against afghans against india though:D
