The truth is that Pakistan cares a fig about Afghans. They do not count in Pakistan's geostrategic aims. The reasons why Pakistan is interested in Afghanistan is:
> The knuckle-head concept of using Afghanistan as 'Strategic Depth' against India.
> Using Afghanistan as a bridge for transporting energy from the CIS republics.
> Preventing at all costs Indian influence in Afghanistan to thwart 'Indian designs' of enveloping Pakistan from the North by employing the classic 'Hammer and anvil' tactics in case of a future Indo-Pak war.
That's the game being played out. Plain and simple!
