Read my post again , I didn't dispute their statements , I merely said that their admission of the mistake didn't make the situation right / make Afghanistan peaceful and stable ... US didn't try to mend its mistake until it was attacked at the mainland in 2001 ...
Yes it is , hugely dependent on Pakistan and there's no denial that drugs are a major source of income for that country ... But the allegation that my country facilitated the trade of drugs officially when we ourselves are affected by it is pure bull **** , each and every neighboring country of Afghanistan had to bear that menace ! Drug trafficking is done around the world and Pakistan is no exception ... Every single faction in that country including NA was asked by Govt of Pakistan to settle their differences ... Yes we tried to balance out and we failed but we at least we tried to bring some stability to that country ! We backed the Mujahids or almost the whole anti-Communists bloc backed them ?
... Good to see you admit that the backing of other warlords by different countries worsened the situation ... Why so keen to put all blame on Pakistan then ? Each country's interests are considered as paramount by itself but a stable Afghanistan is in the best interest of my country ...
Not my problem , if you cant read posts in the right context ... How would you explain the 200 years before then ? Before US-USSR fought for world domination ... Except for you , no country has any complaints with us ...
Yes we secured our borders back then , there was no law and order situation deteriorating in Pakistan at that time ... Not having control on our own territories ?
Where exactly did I say anything that sort , point me to that comment ?
... Making up stuff by yourself ... ... Hey ! We are talking about a border called the Durand Line , not territory ... Except for North Waziristan , writ of the Govt is established in every other part of Pakistan ... So you might want to update yourself on " lot of border areas " and ponder why doesn't ISAF and ANA do not control their side of the border ... Each time there is a operation in FATA , they left the borders wide open and the militants flee ... Any explanation ?
I said Pakistan doesn't need anyone's permission to deal in that country , how exactly does it translate to " others " have to take our permission ?
... Twist not the words ! My country has significant influence in Afghanistan besides that on different factions , the currency of Pakistan is used in major Afghan cities and what not ... Neither China , Iran and India are making any progress on the ground , are they ? ... The Americans want to pack their bags and run , their major allies want that piece of hell abandoned and Western analysts are already warning of Afghanistan " being on the verge of collapse after 2014 " ... Sorry to burst your bubble , but there's no central Afghan Govt
Whom should we talk to ? Permission of the International community which is itself in trouble and needs our assistance ? There's a reason why Karzai is called " Mayor of Kabul " since he enjoys no real power except in the Presidential palace in Kabul ... The rest of what you said were all imagined " best case scenarios " which again sorry to say aren't happening in the foreseeable future ... Look up Pakistan-Afghanistan relations from the beginning and you will get an idea ... There are some here who need a major rethink , not us ...
