I really feel sorry for waraich66, he is obviously so very confused. You put the Nishan-e-Hader up as your avator and at the same time you insult the Pakistan Army, calling them 'paid' agents of Bush and you spit on the blood they lost trying to save this country from chaos.
The Taliban, by their very nature, cannot win. They are a force of Chaos, not of Order. If you study these things closely you will note that everyone expected the Taliban to hold out MUCH longer than they did in 2001. Everyone expected the battle to be hard fought, to last for months...but you know what the Taliban were routed within a week with barely 5 western casualties. The US hardly had to deploy its massively armed and trained formations. You know why this was? Because the Afghan PEOPLE did not support the Taliban, at least not anymore. The Northern Alliance just rolled through and thousands of fighters switched sides and the rest fled. This was a pathetic show of Muslim Martial Prowess and Unity.
How can the Taliban ever hope to stand up against a superpower if they can’t stand up against a band of Drug/War lords? It is uneducated people like waraich66 who think the Taliban are better than the Pakistan Army. The fact is they are not, they are not professional, they are not disciplined, they are not motivated and read my lips THEY ARE NOT ISLAMIC.
The Taliban cannot fight anyone head on, they cannot fight in distant lands like true armies are supposed to, they cannot fight in the open even in their own country. And don’t give me the they don’t have air power BS, bottom line is that they cannot fight anywhere away from their mountain homes, where they can go back to their houses every night and sleep with their family. Where whenever there is an enemy operation they run into their homes and pretend they are ‘neutral civilians’. They only come out to attack logistic troops and soft targets like schools or road workers, and even then they have to use cowardly suicide car bombs where they pretend to be innocent civilian bystanders and get close enough because that’s the only way they have a chance of succeeding…by endangering the civilians around them.
Do you really think that for 1 day, just for 24 hours, if the civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan were to disappear, just for one day leaving these ‘Taliban’ behind, would these militants be able to survive? The Army will just have to drive through and kill everyone they see. Do you think all this Taliban tough talk will help them then? Do you really think they would hold their ground let alone win?
That is the difference between true warriors and these criminal assassins. True soldiers fight in the distant fields, in isolated outposts on freezing mountains, in the oceans, in the skies far away from home, following orders and doing hard work so that their PEOPLE may survive and endure and prosper. The Taliban however KILL more of their own people than the foreigners, the Taliban is exactly what compels the US and NATO to be trigger happy in front of normal civilians and bomb villages. Every poll reveals that MOST Afghans WANT NATO forces to stay, most Afghans DO prefer bloody aliens compared to these Taliban.
And simple ‘Rebellion’ is not Islamic, there is not one nation in the world that won’t rebel if they are invaded or occupied. It is just human nature to stand up when losing his or her land. Tamils fight and use suicide as a weapon, but there is nothing brave or Islamic about them. There is nothing great about the Taliban just because they fight, it is how they fight and what they achieve that matters.
You see the Taliban cannot win a war, only thing they can do is ensure that everyone suffers, especially their own people. You think if the Taliban can kill 5 western soldiers a month, this means they are winning the war? You do not know the history of the world…there were times when these Europeans lost thousands of men everyday in conflicts that they still won in! There were times when the west deployed millions and millions of soldiers to mercilessly grind down their enemies. Now the Taliban can barely come out in the open because of some 50,000 NATO troops stationed in their bloody country.
The Pakistan Army has defended its people, they have won wars, prevented their people from time and again coming under the heel of foreign armies. Because the fact is, if you have lost the war…from that moment on it means the future of your people, your family, our children, their hopes and dreams are all irrelevant. You have lost the war, you have lost the control of your destiny. Any moment a soldier from a place 1000 miles away will kick down your door and enter your home, drag you away blindfolded, maybe even kill your children and rape your women and there is not a damn thing you can do about it. When you are compelled to fight a guerrilla war, when you are forced to sit at home while the enemy patrols your streets and skies and seas, and controls your cities and economy, in the view of any proper military force; you have failed your mission and your people. You have already lost.
The Taliban are just lucky that their enemies lack the will to deploy proper manpower against them, then we would see how the ‘holy Taliban’ would do against half a million professional soldiers. It is the Wests weakness and lack of resolve, not your greatness that the Taliban even exist.
So can ‘Islamic Warriors’ exist? Yes they can, but the Taliban ARE NOT THEM.
So can ‘Islamic Unity’ ever be achieved? Yes it can but NOT THROUGH these bloody Taliban.
You need to think about these things carefully before declaring undying loyalty to these bloody traitors. Is this the future you want to condemn your country and your country men too? If the Taliban get strong, there will be no peace. Heck the Taliban are fighting each other when they are not fighting the Pakistan Army, you think they will EVER bring peace and contentment to our people even if they DO manage to gain complete control? Do not let the fact that they were born Muslims blind you to their true nature. Being Muslim does not make people right, following the rules of Islam and Humanity does. And so far in that regard Taliban and Al-Qaeda are worse than the Americans.
