Taliban have their own government in 20 of the 34 provinces.

What wrong are Talibans in Afghanistan doing if their house is captured by invaders like NATO and US?
they havent done anything wrong, except they are the puppet of another foreign country other than the USA, and they are killing more innocent afghans than the americans.
have you got any statistics?
tell me how many afghanis were killed by afghan talibans before 9/11? the presence of US itself has brought immense chaos in both Pakistan and Afghanistan, there is no doubt in it. the hatred against US is extreme in both the countries, its their presence which results in suicide bombings hence they are responsible for it. talibans are wiping them out and it cant be done without collatrel and civilian casualties, just like the drones, ok?
I didnt claim any specific number so it will be unfair to ask me to back it up. you claimed that specific number and here i am asking you to provide a back up for it, if you cant then where did you get the number from. all i can do is to give you the list of afghan provices with or against the taliban.
People of afghanistan do not support them, who says that they have got place in afghanistan?
Well it seems from the above post that you know for a fact that the people of afghanistan do not support the taliban......how did you come to that conclusion....can you back up your claim or is it your own opinion based.
I didnt give any specific number and dont ask me the question. i am asking you again, how did you give that number(70%? where did you get that from?
it is fine by me if you can not answer it, just admit.
i can give you explanation on every provice and tell you how much or zero support the taliban have.
Some see the Afghan Taliban as waging a just fight against occupation in Afghanistan, however they see the Pakistani Taliban as trying to destroy the democratic system in Pakistan and enforce their ideology through force and murder.
My question is, to those that do support the Afghan Taliban and oppose the TTP, would you agree that if given the opportunity of a free and fair electoral process, the Afghan Taliban should participate in that process and let the people of Afghanistan decide whether they should have a chance to govern?
Whatever the reason for the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan (occupation etc.) if the UN or any other impartial entity can ensure free and fair elections, the Taliban should cease hostilities and participate in the political process. I would assume that Pakistanis would want the Afghans to have the same options we do.
It is another matter that the US presence in Afghanistan complicates issues in terms of political participation by the Taliban and a cessation of hostilities due to lack of trust, but shouldn't the Taliban at least express their intention of laying down arms and participation in the political process given the option of free and fair elections and no/reduced US presence?
If they have not expressed such, what is the Afghan Taliban end goal for Afghanistan? Will they rule Afghanistan like the barbaric and medieval way the TTP ruled in Swat and Waziristan? Some may argue that the Afghans are a Tribal and extremely conservative society and the Taliban system is one that is not too far from the conservative Afghan culture, but if that is the case then the Afghans would choose the Taliban to govern them at the polls.
So while it is clear that some support the Afghan Taliban as fighting a just war against an occupation, what end goal for Afghanistan do you support? Are you willing to let the Taliban impose their dictatorship over Afghans, or, as in Pakistan, you support a political process in Afghanistan (not necessarily a Western style democracy) in which the Taliban can participate and the Afghans can make their own decisions on who shall govern them?
THERE will be civil war again under that scenario-as sure as the sun rises in the east. My money is on the taliban to emerge the winner. The afghan people will again lose. They will adjust as they did before. That should make most Pakistanis happy finally.
