The Secretary in Pakistan-5

It is really funny how the Taliban hate anything western but uses their technology in their insurgencies. Anyway the point is that Pakistan wants to have a major say in any future setup of the afghan government since it says that it has suffered a lot in the war on terror and have captured and killed many insurgents on the behest of the U.S. so it wants to share in the spoils of war. But the Taliban see the Pakistan government as a puppet of the U.S. and would not want to involve Pakistan anymore once they have achieved their goals. So Pakistan should not be under any delusion that the Taliban are their friends and they should expect a so called friendly government in Afghanistan.

Anyway, Pakistan’s economy is a wreck and they should try to fix their economy for the betterment of their people instead of gaining a so called friendly government. The amount of money being spent on bankrolling and backing the different Jihadi outfits fighting wars in Kashmir and Afghanistan may be better used to give jobs to the jobless, fix their ever mounting energy shortages and increasing their exports. The U.S should make it clear to the Pakistani even if sees no clear victory in Afghanistan (whatever that means) that they would not tolerate the old ways before 9/11 and they should be ready to cooperate if they want to be a part of the whole Afghan process.
