With the US elections around the corner and world markets in turmoil, it is safe to believe the American occupation of Afghanistan will be altered in some manner. Pakistan's Afghan policy was decimated by the fall of the Taliban in 2001. Since then, we seen a rise of the former NA/hostile to Pakistan elements come into power. This issue is dually troubling because of the loss of Pakhtun power west of the Durand along with the virtual occupation by militias/thugs in alliance with the US, UK coalition. Furthermore, it has given our enemy countries an opening to establish bases of support in Afghanistan.

I have a few thoughts on this matter, however I would like to hear from everyone before I will chime in.

What is the best way forward?
