wait a minute..so u are justifying taliban rule in afghanistan by logic??their rule was in ur interest..or else feel free to enlighten me..
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not justifying anything. All I'm saying is that there are reasons why certain decisions were made by Pakistan, regarding Afghanistan. Whether or not you agree with them, I can assure you that Pakistan thought long and hard about these decisions and followed what it thought was best for Pakistan, can you fault Pakistan for doing what is in Pakistan's national interests? No.
Pakistan needs a stable Afghanistan, which is why it supported the Taliban, because the Taliban were the best bet that was capable of bringing about stability in the country, even at the cost of freedom. I can guarantee you that if the Northern Alliance were the ones that could lead to stability in Afghanistan (which at that time, they weren't), then Pakistan would have supported them. Remember, most of the civil war in Afghanistan happened before the Taliban's existence and a vast majority of it was due to warlords who (after the Taliban came into existence) ended up joining together to form the Northern Alliance (many of these warlords now either sit in the government of Afghanistan, or support it for their own personal benefit). Anyways, enough with the history lesson.
The point is that many things factored into Pakistan's decision to support the Taliban, as such, that is the reason why India supported the Northern Alliance. The Indians didn't care about Afghanistan (they still don't, nobody does), they just wanted to make sure that Afghanistan didn't get a pro-Pakistan government, thus the proxy war began.
If you think that I'm justifying Taliban rule, then that's your problem, not mine. I justify nothing, all I do is write down logic and facts.
On a personal note, I think the Taliban are scum, and I think it was a bad decision to support the Taliban (or any faction) in Afghanistan (as they're all guilty of war crimes). If Pakistan had taken advantage of the chaos and actually built a border fence, half of this mess in Pakistan's tribal agencies could have been avoided.
