these guys haven't spared anyone since the commies retreated, not spared their own, not spared those across the border, didn't spare those on the other side of the planet.
good luck, and yes, lets hope the backlash on the civilians of the region isn't too bloody.
Gen Dostum the part of much loved Northen alliance is now travel banned in America due to his war crimes.
he has burried people alive. in Northern alliance there are people who stuffed children of the poppy farmers as punishment who didnt comply. yes that place is a mess.
another loosely related subject (
which we all missed) the son of former Governer of Punjab Tasir who was abducted by Uzbak millitants and taken to Afghanistan.. was rescued NOT by the American/ Afghan forces (as being claimed) but by Afghan Taliban (read Haqqanis) who raided the Uzbaks .. killed every single soul including women , children, old or young around the captive and then helped him to escape and drove him to a place where he could meet up with American base. (He himself has been interviewed ).. he was carefully grateful to Afghan taliban for their help. ..
(hmmm what is ...that?? )
coming back to the topic and responding to one of your replies to a Pakistani. (I have a liking for your posts) so just clarifying that in the international relations there is no such thing as fairness and equality. every nation uses its cards to its advantage (whether dealing with foes or friends) so there is always a senior partner and junior partner (not just in a skewed relationship between USA and Pakistan) the British commentators have same sort of resentment towards Americans that they are pushed over and their governments are obliged to please the Americans who will leave them in the dock when British need them (this fact deserves a separate thread).
So, NO, you are NOT trollign when you highlight the fact that Americans can always redefine the rules of engagement and the agreement (or lack of it) with Pakistan to their advantage. they are the sole super power and they do that with almost every other country (exception being their two top Middle east allies Israel and KSA)
Afghan issue is beyond the 80 era of Afghan Jihad project. with ISIS in the mix it is beyond what USA, PAK and KSA together made that turned into Al Qaeda/ Taliban. truth to be told, the Taliban project had tacit approval from USA, KSA and a westernised (anti Pak Army) Benazir Bhutto's government. and the idea was to bring order in the chaos (so convinently such American role is missed out even by some top names injournalism which only shows hypocracy & intellectual dishonesty).
(and that is an unfortunate history) as the monster became something which it planners had NOT planned.
in American defence, why Americans didn't decide to take the target out in Iran? maybe they didn't want to loose yet another drone to Iranian Mullahs and cause an unnecessary diplomatic rift when Obama is on his way out.
but it is being repeatedly suggested that Americans want to deal directly with those who hold the power and have the say in their opposing ranks and that are Haqqanis. therefore
Who are engaged in negotiations with Big 4. Only that leadership along with elements in Qatar. The military leadership is all in afghanistan. For Example Mullah Mannan was taken out in Afghanistan not in Pakistan
and when we arrested and handed over Mullah Brader to Americans then the complains were
- oh Pakistanis disrupted the peace move by arresting a Taliban leader
- oh see? another taliban leader in Pakistan
Your country is only good for letting other counties violate your sovereignty not the other way around
