Exactly my point!!

That would be the seventh time you have repeated that ...... i have shown you links and papers which needs no further explanation .... so you can parrot the line again and keep hoping.

What is the connection on this board with English language ..... you seem to have a colonial hangover ...... knowing english language does not necessarily make you a logical person ......

As for Pakistan clearing and warding off a communist country ...... well you must be dreaming ....... if US did not have your back ... they would have landed in Islamabad .....

I can spend a lot of my time replying here ...... you see i have no issues with bandwidth ...... it might be an issue in Pakistan :biggthumb

Guys, there's no denying that Pakistan did indeed play a part in the making of now known 'Taliban', back then they were known as Mujahideen (i.e. Freedom Fighters). But you must also understand and acknowledge that it was not Pakistan's idea to create Taliban from scratch. Uncle Sam wanted to support them against the Soviets, and it did indeed flow lots of cash and advanced weapons to the mujahideen, which hurt soviets badly. It was the American Stinger launchers which brought down a countless number of low flying fighters, and choppers. After which Soviet soldiers refused to fly low for the fear of being shot down.

Saudi Arabia ofcourse was as equal a partner in helping the Mujahideen as the U.S. For every dollar US funded, Saudis contributed double that. Least to say, US might have provided the then Mujahideen and today's "Taliban" with intel as well as the know-how.

To consolidate the entire blame on Pakistan and not look to the other players who fostered the idea and used Pakistan as a route-stop, is not only irresponsible, but a plain lie.

After the soviets abandoned their ambitions to occupy Afghanland, U.S. soon pulled back all the support with the purpose having been served. This is where Pakistan's role became that much more central because Pakistan was the home to countless number of Afghan refugees, as well as base of continued support to reconcile the country which had been war-torn. US should have been there to pick up the tab and help in restoring democracy and bringing Just Rule to the land they sort of helped "liberate" indirectly. Because US turned its back on Afghans, Pakistan could not. It was a neighbor and a brotherly nation of the same faith with a rich history of trade routes which tied the two nations together.

What is happening today is outright retaliation for the abandonment of Aghans in the 80's by the US, not only that, get this, and this is real rich. US, the back then mujahideen supporter, is now itself aiming at occupying Afghanistan. Deja vu?

Lets look at all the facts, even the bitter ones that some of us may have trouble talking about, instead of finding the easy scapegoat 'Pakistan'.....

I think your recount of how Taleban came about is fair. But from the highlighted section is where IMO Pakistan made huge huge mistakes.

What did the govt of Pakistan do at that point to disband the so called 'mujahideen'? NOTHING. Instead ISI was actively using them as field force, with fond hopes of tearing Kashmir apart from India.

If it was merely a question of handling the cost of sustaining the refugees, it would have been straight forward. But Govt of Pakistan could never bring itself (even today) to separate itself from militant terrorists because they needed thsn in Kashmir!

^What is this got to do with Kashmir issue at all?

Please try to make sense.

I have no shame of saying the truth the hundred times.

India created a terrorist organization from very beginning and knowingly commited human atrocities and crime against humanity. This even made India lose its own prime minister Rajiv Gandhi. Indians may not care about it but LTTE (Sri Lankan Tigers)was created by India and eventually haunted India for its bad intention.

Pakistan did what it had to do with no other choice to ward off a communist country from Afghanistan.

You yourself mentioned US would have landed in Islamabad if Pakistan had not done what it did.

deedawar

^I meant to say "As you yourself mentioned, Russians would have landed in Pakistan if Pakistan had not done what it did".

Well Pakistan lost Benazir to Taleban .... she was instrumental in creating them .... along with her close to a 1000 security personal have been killed by Taliban symphatizers.... so it is pay back time for the Paksitan military establishment.

If you dont know the difference between the Mujahedins and Taleban, then you really dont know what is happening in Afghanistan. Taleban as a force came up after the Russians had left Afghanistan. Infact it is Mulalh Omar who himself had said that he wanted to save Afghanistan from the so called "Mujahid" ...... so go figure it out for yourself.

LTTE is less than a tiny scratch for India whereas the taleban, al quaeda and even isi have become humngous frankensteins for Pakistan. Drawing a paralell between the two in this respect is dumb

Forget about LTTE, you should worry about your own home grown frankensteins...


New Delhi - As the situation goes, most of the districts in India are under the grip of Naxalites. This is a great concern for all states of the country. Over 160 districts are reported to be slipping away from the State's control and the Naxalites are becoming the masters. They are believed to be aided by vested interests outside the country.

Manmohan Singh said a few words that the ever-growing menace of Naxalism has become national concern. He said in plain words, " it has become the most serious internal security threat". Specifically he added :

sure sure, we always have had these communits and naxalites and what not. You have to remember we are several times bigger than you in every progressive respect but when it comes to this sort of negatives groups such as terrorists, if you count the problems you have they dominate.

No comment on your illogical statements.

Seed and fruit are different...

You said India can lose its prime minister just by even less than a tiny scratch!!? Like the one you do after a mosquito bite?
