See the bold above, you can issue your little warnings to others, your generals still come to Washington to get direction. Let's get back to reality and address your bold parts above:
1) I know the ground realities more than you can imagine. You forgot, it was the US who'd been telling you to clean up this mess since 2002. But had you listened, you'd see our honest advise as we had calculated that this Taliban terrorism will become much bigger issue for Pakistan. So PLEASE, don't preach to the quier about the "ground realities". The term doesn't apply here.
Pakistan is Sovereign.
We Welcome Consolidated Dialogues and Collaboration.
We Welcome Peace and Collective Measures to Maintain it.
Since it's inception Pakistan has been an Ally to US and this collaboration has been fortified for Decades. Our relationship has been based on Mutual Understanding, Respect and Friendship and we want it to continue it till eternity.
Be Mindful, it doesn't mean we take your directions. We welcome your suggestions to improve the measures to be taken for the betterment as Ally, as a friend.
You give us advise on how to control terrorism?
What were your forces able to accomplish at Afghanistan. Were you able to conquer the whole of Afghanistan?
You want to dignify ground realities. You were not able to control Afghanistan and terrorism in it even with the full Fledged Backing of your Super Military Power.
So what does this tell us all?
It teaches us that terrorism can not be contained by Force. As you can't change a mindset by force. Neither US nor Pak.
No person in a sane mind would want terrorism. But, In order to restore peace into the region i believe we have to establish Peace talks with the militant region of Afghan. Pakistan Shares a Gigantic Border with Afghanistan.
This problem can not be contained other wise. This war is otherwise endless.
Suggestions are always welcomed.
