Perhaps you are right.

but seriously, Afghanistan being a world power, don't make me laugh.

The times have changed now.

Certainly. Not coming to terms with reality has destroyed their country. Nobody to blame but themselves.

LOL, peace with Pakistan while sitting in india's lap?

KABUL: Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, in his Eid-ul-Azha message, on Friday said peace with Pakistan was Afghanistan's national agenda.

Ghani reached out to Pakistan, offering “comprehensive negotiations” to bring peace to the troubled relationship between the two countries.

"We want peace which is based on unanimous political views," the Afghan president said, adding that the world now knows that it is not possible to pressurise Afghanistan into doing anything.

In his address at the president house in Kabul, Ghani said the country was ready to take steps for regional peace and stability, based on logical debate and reasoning.

"I am reaching out for peace to everyone," he said. "Because peace is God's commandment."

Ghani called on the Taliban, who have been fighting to drive out international forces backing the government, to accept peace.

"It is time for the armed opposition of Afghanistan to choose whether they are fed on the milk of the mothers of this country, and are inspired by this nation, or whether they are the tools for disunity, chaos, used by outsiders," he said.

He added that peace negotiations were open for all but Afghanistan will not bow down before any group or country.

The statement from the Afghan president comes a day after US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis ordered additional troops to the war-torn country, 10 days after President Donald Trump announced a surge in US forces to battle advances by the Taliban.

On August 21, Trump announced a new Afghanistan policy to knock back the Taliban that could see thousands more US troops deployed, on top of the 11,000 there now.

The decision came after a deep review of strategy in which US military leaders convinced Trump to back off his election campaign pledge to pull out of the war-torn country.

Islamabad accuses its western neighbour of allowing its enemies to find sanctuaries in Afghanistan, while Kabul routinely accuses Pakistan of harbouring Taliban insurgents.

Border tensions have strained ties between the neighbours. Afghanistan refuses to accept the Durand line as the international border and skirmishes between the two armies have broken out amid Pakistan’s attempts to fence it.

Afghanistan is celebrating the Islamic holiday of Eid-ul-Azha which commemorates Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son. Pakistan will celebrate Eid on Saturday.

well ghani must be the proverbial twice born fool. He still thinks they can have peace with pakistan. Some one should remind him what happened when the first time he extended the hand of friend ship. No wonder afghan is such a mess, ppl who dont learn from history are destined to repeat blunders.

He's obviously feeling the squeeze of us sending home Afghan refugees and the persistent blockade we impose on the Afghans. This is NOTHING compared to what Pakistan is capable of doing to Afghanistan if we went full monty and without even firing a shot

Has Pakistan actually committed to repatriation of Afghan refugees? I thought the traitorous government has extended their stay.

We should get rid of Pakistani Taliban first.

Aren't they now based in Afghanistan after the operations.

Lol........I didn't want to cause a scene and he was getting annoyed that I didn't believe him. He was also offended by my laughter. I took my poultry and left.

I was tempted to ask him when Germany, Italy, France & the Netherlands would be rightfilly returned to Afghanistan......

What city was this?

Forget Pakistan, I just couldn't believe the fact that he genuinely believed that Iran belonged to Afghanistan and should be returned ASAP.......................

I think it is a good thing. Perhaps Pakistan should encourage Afghans to have delusions of grandeur. It could potentially work towards Pakistans advantage. It may convince those naïve Pakistanis that think Afghanistan is a brotherly nation into understanding the jealous arrogance they exhibit.

Was he Pukhtoon or Tajik or Hazaara?
