Hopefully Pessimistic

If we defeated Taliban today, an explicitly ethnic militia would replace it like the BLA. Its not nearly as much about religion as it is their ethnicity.It hurts people's feelings to talk about the cross-over between Taliban's violence and Pashtun nationalism/tribalism. They know its true but they cry wolf.
PTI is just the top layer, the bottom layer that allows Taliban penetration into Pakistan is Pashtun tribalist nationalism.
Especially amongst the ex-FATA belt. And the Northern Balochistan belt.
