Then don't blame Afghanistan for any attacks that goes on in Pakistan.
Pakistan should leave Afghanistan on Afghans and US and see what they can do.
We should neither support any Taliban nor US and Karzai
Yup, Pakistan should leave Afghanistan and fence the border.
I guess that's what the Afghans want as well.
I'm not sure this is 'exactly' what Afghans would want, especially because most of their everyday supplies for survival actually come from Pakistan (food & other supplies). And their 'national crop' opium (that they manufacture heroin from) goes to Pakistan, as well as Iran, Russia & the West. I don't think Afghanistan would want its 'earnings' & 'revenue generated' from its 'national crop' to fall, right? Even if it kills the rest of the world.
When was Pakistan inside Afghanistan?
One of the well worn myths that comes out of scorn borne for the Afghans sans any facts.
Pakistan account for just 20% of Afghan imports and Afghanistan exports just 23% of its goods to Pakistan. its not that without Pak Afghanistan would collapse the next day. Most of the food imports come from the CARs.

Afghan Imports:
Pakistan 36.9%, US 9.5%, Germany 7.7%, India 5.2% (2008)
Pakistan 26.78%, US 24.81%, India 5.15%, Germany 5.06%, Russia 4.04% (2009)

India should Afghanistan diplomatically and militarily to the maximum extent possible against the tyranny of the Taliban and its sympathizers.

Pakistan used to supply over 50% of all Afghan supplies before the WOT. Since then, with the rising contributions from the US, the % of Pakistan's contributions have decreased:

When the US is done with Afghanistan, they won't give a crap about them. There is already talk about too much US spending for Afghanistan.
If those stats accommodate smuggled goods as well, then it's probably true. Most of the stuff that goes in and out of Afghanistan does not pass the proper channels. They send us 80% of their opium, they take much of our flour, pretty simple................
Apparently not, we fenced the border in 2005, the Afghans tore it down on the pretext that we were trying to "Divide the Pukhtuns". In reality, they just stole the metal and sold it for scrap...................
Even then how did 36% become "over 50%". And you are not the President of the US to decide what the US will do five years hence.
So stick to discussion based on latest facts. And this is the scorn that makes the common Afghan loathe the Pakistanis.
Since no one knows the exact quantity of the smuggled items (smuggling goes on in the northern borders into CARs as well) let us all stick to discussion based on available facts. Thanks.

I know Musharraf proposed a fence. I don't think anything was done about that though. Do you have a source for the rest of your statement?
