I wont say impossible but that sure is a lot difficult, bordering impossible i would say. Still, the point is that this is no excuse for opposing others to try. Plus if the porous border is to be blamed for ISI intervening in Afghanistan that same border can be cited as an explanation of Afghan Taliban inside Pakistan.
The problem here is not how to contain the border but to accept that the problem is on both side of the border and it will be both Pakistan and Afghanistan who will have to resolve these issues and differences. We have had our differences with Northern alliance previously but there is no reason these issues cannot be settled. We all know very well how the global alliances shift with changing interests. A peaceful region is in interest of both Pakistan and Afghanistan. The non-state actors responsible of creating unrest have safe havens in Afghanistan, the ones responsible for unrest in Afghanistan are accused to be hiding and being funded by Pakistan. We can work together, eliminate the problem and everyone can go home happy. It is a win win for the whole regions, in fact the world however failure to do so is a loss of Afghanistan and Pakistan mainly! WE NEED TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS.
Sir money talks and this wont be the first time we see it happening. Anyone Pakistani who denies that India have far more reach in the international world in living in delusion. I am not. I understand and admit the number of areas where we seriously lag behind and frankly, i feel that in most of these there is actually no reason to compete to begin with. Perhaps it have something to do with Indian relations with central Asian states (people from where form bulk of Norther Alliance) so whatever but yes there is that influence and a number of things point in that direction.
I don't, even if a do, i will blame myself for creating the situation in which you were able to act so freely damaging my interests. At the end of the day, I have to share my burden of responsibility.
I Do, just was pointing out how it works both ways and it was not for you but for other members reading the conversation. I know you understand how it words both ways!
It is sad but true. That is the reason that both Afghanistan and Pakistan are the ones who will have to step up to resolve the differences and come to some sorts of solution. That is not difficult at all, there is no much in common. The only problem is that we are both labeling our actions as reactions. Sadly we are only fooling ourselves by doing so. It is time for both to accept the harsh realities and if these two countries decide to make peace and to progress together any amount of foreign influence wont be able to do much damage.
Afghanistan is actually not really acting as a state but a combination of various tribes and ethnicities with no real rule of law. This have been the case for years. So if those Afghan generals are not able to deliver on there promises it is most probable partly due to some influence but mainly because they are really not able to ascertain there authority. We say that happen with politicians as well.
