and even that india supported LTTE at one point of time. BUT:
Isn't it true that India also sent IPKF to SL for which SL thanks India even today?
too little too late I suppose. China (and Pakistan to a lesser degree) jumped in and filled a lot of gaps.
Isn't it true that Pakistan supported the taliban, might be with CIA but that doesn't absolve you of your responsibility in taking Afghanistan to the situation in which it finds itself today?
you give us too much ''credit''
most of their problems are internal issues which nobody can solve except Afghans themselves. We rallied for their cause when Ivan and his red army came in; we lobbied for them even after everybody else washed their hands and abandoned the region subsequent to Ivan's hasty departure.
Isn't it true that even today Pakistan espouses the 'cause' of the taliban (read sirajuddin haqqani etc.)
there are individuals in Pakistan who will openly (for moral, self-serving or other reasons) profess ''loyalty'' or ''admiration'' to taleban
when you say "Pakistan" you should be specific and careful
if you prefer to stand by your statement, for whatever reason, then I'm afraid I'm going to have to inconvenience you by asking for solid proof.
sn't it true that Pakistan has always classified Taliban into 'Good' and 'Bad'?
"Taleban" isn't even a central organization anymore. Anybody can call themself a "taleban"
there are violent elements, fanatic elements, and non-violent and somewhat moderate elements. The real challenge is weeding out the good from the bad, and for the sake of conciliation and representativeness (in my view) perhaps paving the way for ''talks'' with elements that will be willing to bend and compromise a little bit
behind the scenes this is already what will (rather IS) happening; with the blessing of even the U.S.
I don't need to keep re-stating Pakistan Nation's stance on this issue since it is very much clear and transparent. And always has been, for those willing to view things on a broader level, rather than a selective & self-serving (malicious) one.
Good being the ones which operate in afghanistan and bad being the ones which operate in Pakistan?
as Pakistan Nation itself is dealing with terrorist attacks, we have a right (and WILL) act on whomever, wherever, however and "why-ever" based on credible threat assesments and analysis.
our nation is our first and last priority before ANYTHING else --as rightly pointed out by somebody else in this thread.
