Though Pakistan looked dedicated to WOT, it hasn't delivered what it was meant to inspite of all the financial kick-ins given 2 it.
The issue is a lot more complicated and, although I don't agree with Imran Khan of PTI on everything, he does make some good points:
- Pakistani army is 70% ethnic Punjabi, while the Taliban are mostly ethnic Pashtun. A full scale conflict between the two could be used by opportunist elements to cast it as an ethnic conflict and to ignite wider ethnic unrest throughout Pakistan. Extremist ethnic demagogues in Sind and Punjab provinces already scapegoat the millions of hardworking Pashtuns for political purposes.
- Pakistan needs to make sure it has the capability to counter Indian control of Afghanistan when NATO leaves. But I agree that Pakistan should find a democractic counterweight to India's puppet Karzai instead of relying on the Taliban.
Here, we should learn by India's own example: India funded and supported the LTTE terrorists to cause trouble in Sri Lanka and to placate its own large Tamil population. But when LTTE lost the plot and started causing trouble in India itself by supporting Tamil separatists in Tamil Nadu, then India pulled the plug from LTTE and hunted them down in India. You have to be wary when your Frankenstein starts to turn against you.
