The issue is that you or even I would not have done it any differently. Guaranteed! Our government formulated a policy of supporting the elders of Taliban based on having to pick the best of the bad options. Those elders gave way to the Taliban and our security circles ran with those people. The alternate was the NA and earlier Hizb-e-Islami. Both anti-Durand Line and more averse to Pakistani interests.
I am not disputing the nature of the beast we created to serve our interests. What piss me off, is how bloody civilians get dragged into the screw ups concerning the taming of this beast coz this was never the civilians pet neither has had any control over it except the GHQ lot. Once we understand this, then comes the other question, how the hell these GHQ lot manage to screw this up this badly. If you don't know how to fight proxy wars , don't get involved, its simple as that. Either you are incompetent or simply don't have the stomach for it. On both flanks these lot have failed the proxy wars spectacularly. Kashmir and Afghanistan, while bringing the enemy proxy wars within our borders. Would there be any accountability of this monumental failure?
