    This is believeable fact,
    Karzai ,so called president of Afghanistan has failed,
    in controling the internal situation of the country,
    absolutely failed.


    On the other hand,
    millitants,after some intervals,
    regrouped and guerrilla attacked on,
    in this way ,
    Nato and Americans have to face ,
    some times heavy loss of life and related meterials,
    this has been going on,
    since invasion.


    President Karzai and his cabnit members,
    have levelled allegations ,
    against neighbering country Pakistan,
    that is baseless,absolutely baseless,
    there is no reality in their view,
    because they have not any kind of evidence ,
    in this regard


    I would like say herein that,
    it is an effort to make intermission,
    betwenn The united States and Pakistan.


    The whole world acknowledge that,
    Pakistan has been a front line ally of the States,
    aganist the war of terror,
    millitary oprations in trible lawless area,
    are live evidence in this connection.


    Pakistan has sacrificed the agreement,
    recently signed with millitants,
    on the indication of the United States,
    and in resulting have to face itself,
    insurgency inside the country,
    as witnessed in Islamabad and Karachi,
    in which police men and people were killed.


    See the efforts,
    has been made ,
    would finde remarkable ,admireable,
    become the undisputed part of the history,
    as president of The United States has also recognised ,
    on number of occasions.


    Now is being said,
    Pakistan involved in the insurgency,
    recently happened in Afghanistan.


    What Mr.Karzai wante,
    what is their real ambition,
    creating a justification in regard to start army opration,
    in side Pakistan.


    Imposible,
    i am saying imposible,
    Pakistan is a atomic power,
    and front line ally of The United States,
    never make a mistake to put aside its ally"s sacrifices.


    Karzai should resign,
    vacant the seat for any other able person,
    so that esclated insurgency in Afghanistan ,
    may be control..
    recently happened in Afghanistan

    If you cannot talk with any of these organizations. this is it. You cannot have deal with Taliban. Those dogs should be exterminated if they don't want to change their ways. Nobody in the world want to see Talibanistan again. It will be equivalent to getting another Nazi regime in Germany.

    Dear trishi @ 07/11/2008 11:44:18 AM

    Thanks for your comments. I take the opportunity to reply you as following:

    Indians fought for freedom in two ways, one political and the other fighting for freedom was with arms. The fighting for freedom with arms was adopted by Sobash Chandar Bosh and political path was adopted by Mahtama Ghandhi and Mohammad Ali Jinnah. But after the freedom was won by political means no Indian or Pakistani has said that Sobash Chandar Bosh and his colleagues were not freedom fighters.

    Similarly when USSR invaded Afghanistan, Afghans fought against the invaders America and other countries supported those freedom fighters and ultimately invaders left the country. The same people who were fighting against Russia were called Mujahideens and now they again fighting the war against others types of invaders but are called terrorists. United Nations needs to define the term terrorism or the terrorist.

    Taliban came to power and they enforced their own system of governance. America was not against their system of government it. In the beginning it wanted surrender of Al-Qaeda leaders as the 9/11 blame came on Al-Qaeda. President Clinton attached but only targeted the Al-Qaeda. Bush attached in search of Al-Qaeda but targeted the whole country and innocent citizens, millions made displaced and homeless. Osama after seven years of invasion has not been found. No man shall appreciate bombarding and plundering the whole country in search of few fugitives. General Musharraf supported this war but his policies were rejected by the people of Pakistan in election 2008, because his wrongful policies have shattered the stability and peace of the country.

    It is unbelievable that Islamic State of Iran will provide logistic support and goods transport facilities to the American lead allied NATO Forces and let its land be used by America. This is some thing not possible at all. Indians if supporting the occupied forces for earning money or any other purpose can be target by the Afghans who are fighting war of their independence. Pakistan cannot be blamed because it is itself a victim.

      Dear Saleem, There is no way a lot of people in the world (including New yorkers who saw 911) agree with you. They may be "freedon fighters" for you. But for us, they are terrorists, just rabid dogs. They were not fighting Colonial army like INA (of Bose) did. They were planning to kill 50,000 coomon people who went work that day. These same "freedom fighters" still go around planting bombs all around in India killing innocent people and trying to destroy a nation (just like they do to Israel). This is not freedom fighting. Instead of trying to build "Islamic States" probably they should educate their people. Give freedom to their own women. Give freedom to question your own Mullahs.

    What we should do in such circumstances,
    peace agreement with Talban millitants has beed broken,
    on the ibdication/pressure of the united states,
    and now you can see.we are facing insurgency in side the country,
    if we negotiate with them,american understand us their enemies,
    what we should do in such circumstances,
    that is answerless question has no way out,
    you are invited to pls considere.


    Rawalpindi ,Islamabad are in the line of fire,
    as being described ,
    by the millitants sopkeman.
    also threating more and more actions would be taken,
    they are syaing openly,


    In case,
    we are brave then should recognise our defeat,
    openheardly.


    Talban faced superpower,
    not only superpower but also its partners,
    how much invested can not be imagin,
    millions,billions,trillons,how much.
    but
    the war against terror still going on ,
    no change can be brought,victory,defeat,nothing there is nothing,
    bloodshed to be continued.


    I claim,
    solution of this endless war is not use of power,
    not a use of modern weapons,
    or new stratigies in the war game.


    Earth is paradize,not hell,
    pls don't make it hell,
    be adopted a good way ,
    and save hundered of thousand inncent lives,
    getting down in the darkness of death every day.


    Use political wisdom,
    indeed you have,
    and resolve this issue,
    power is no solution of this problem.


    Invite ,
    just invite the parties concerned ,
    and take first step,
    toward the right direction,
    and make the world peacfull paradize.

    Dear Mr. Sheikh ( Mr. Saleem Sheikh, Advocate )

    Please allow me to take exception to some of the things that you say. The highway that the writer speaks of is probably one of many that are going to be connected to a proposed highway in Iran, thus giving Afghanistan port access. Secondly, you are extremely right in saying that Pakistan did support the Taliban, pre 9-11, but all of a sudden stopped supporting it right after. It was not a realisation of the atrocities visited by the Taliban on its own people and on the world, but self-preservation that made Pakistan back out of that relationship. Being an advocate, I am sure you can appreciate the fact that Pakistan condoning those atrocities make it a party to said atrocities and also are evidence of the fact that Pakistan has and most likely will use terrorism as an instrument of Foreign Policy, which they do in other places as well. Now, if the rationale that Indians are placing themselves in jeopardy by trying to build roads and buildings for Afghans and hence should blame themselves is true and applied universally, then Pakistan ought to stop complaining about Predator zones buzzing overhead or so-called marriage parties being strafed, because by providing aid and comfort to the enemy they are now combatants. But, you would not want that now, would you? There is such a thing as decency and honor, Mr. Sheikh, that precludes the US from just, as one of the earlier posts said, " nuking the place". When Pakistan acquires that, you will understand why Americans and Indians talk about and bemoan non-combatant casualties and it is because of their strength and the responsibility that comes from wielding such power and not from weakness. If the rest of the world does have a weakness, it is its sense of decency . It would serve you well to remember that. This post did get personal but that is only because your comments were in poor taste and devoid of honor.

    Thanks. Regards.

    The illegal invasion of Iraq, based Bush's deliberate lies (impeachable offenses) and which led directly to the resurgence of Al Qaeda (especially in Afghanistan) proves that the Bush administration has never intended to defeat Al Qaeda (another impeachable offense?) A permanent of threat of terrorism, leading to placing the US in a permanent state of undeclared war which only benefits large corporate interests (both in the US and in Saudi Arabia) has been the plan from Day One. Not surprisingly, it's also McCain's plan.

      Everything would have worked out better had the US just nuked Iraq and walked away. Too bad we are so scared to really attack someone anymore.

    The fact that from sanctuaries in Pakistan, Taliban can spread so fast in Afghanistan as to control half of Afghanistan, speaks volumes about this so called US-Pakistan alliance against terrorism. Billions of dollars in US aid to Pakistan has come to nothing. Pakistan was and continues to be what CIA termed ???terror center of the world??? despite all the proclamations to the contrary from US and Pakistani governments. Duplicitous policies on part of both - US as well as Pakistan - are responsible for US miseries in Afghanistan. While sending thousands of troops to eradicate Taliban from Afghanistan, US continued to tolerate Pakistan-Taliban alliance and even continue funding Pakistani Frontier corps which is heavily infiltrated by Taliban. Despite proclaiming to have joined US fight against terrorism, Pakistan continued to fund and protect Taliban presence on its soil by choice. Oh well, US and Pakistan follow duplicitous policies and they reap the fruits of it.

    Sir

    US Senate was told by the Administration that Karzai governs only 30 % land of Afghanistan. The writer has admitted that Taliban-affiliated groups now control more than half of Afghanistan, including areas located only 45 minutes from the capital.

    Afghanistan is the biggest supplier of opium based products Heroin etc in the world market. That also means there is no control of Karazi administration over major part of Afghanistan otherwise American supported government would not allow the opium growth. Any thing can happen in the vastly lawless land. The writer should know that the Taliban are fighting war against coalition of the NATO Forces. If any country or even business concern is supporting the coalition forces in any way that can be their target.

    There is no doubt that Pakistan had been supporting the Taliban government before 9/11 along with Saudi Arabia and Arab Emirates but after that Pakistan itself is facing the greatest danger of suicide attacks.

    If Indians are doing the construction work it is their policy of doing business in war zone. Recently Pakistan Ambassador to Kabul was kidnapped but Pakistan did not blame Indians. Perhaps the writer is not aware of the fact that Afghanistan does have any land link with Persian Gulf or any sea link at all. To say that the Indians are building a road to link Afghanistan to Persian Gulf is not possible geographically. Pakistan not at all fighting any sort of proxy war in Afghanistan. The Article is based upon mere speculations without proper investigation and authenticity.

    Karzai is the problem, not the solution. All he ever demands is more U.S. money to buy new hats for himself.
