Pakistan's Afghanistan policy post 9/11 was immediately put into effect by the then President Musharraf--going back to his press conferences with Colin Powell shortly after 9/11. Musharraf or those who followed him, including Imran, followed the basic State policies of Pakistan, which was to protect the western flank of Pakistan from India. In that regard, I don't blame Imran. The ghosts of Zia ul Haq policies were haunting Pakistan.
But where I DO blame Imran is that he plays a very dirty, a very dangerous game of ethnic politics to try to come back to power using his so-called 'Pashtun' credentials. There is no room for errors in Afghanistan and on Pakistan's tribal areas. Afghanistan and its ideological kins have bled Pakistan more than even India has throughout Pakistan's history. And while I reserve my judgement on Imran being the 'Taliban Khan', I think he is a retard, opportunist, even if he may mean well for Pakistan but his path back to power by appeasing the unappeasable is a path of failure for Pakistan. And hence I oppose Imran Khan. But also he is, per credible sources, also disliked by Pakistan's strongest trading partners/allies and that' not just America. The stupid guy was trying to make alliances with the poorer Muslim nations of Southeast Asia when everyone knows where the money lies: America led West, including Europe and the Middle East.
What a damn moron!!!
