Bro, That's putting a blame on someone else for our own blunders.
We were showering all praises for the "
Afghan Mujhahideen" during
80's and 90's.
They were our
frontline soldiers.
They were our
strategic depth
We had
ZERO terrorism from Afghan side throughout the 80's and 90's.
We need to ask ourselves what really happened
post 9/11 that we lost 80,000 people
Answer is quite simple, We backstabbed them and our own tribal population.
Our military sold our citiizens for 5000 USD to USA even lots of innocents including.
USA used our airspace and our airbases and bombed our people. Our military was supposed to protect them and not let them be hunted and killed. People in tribal areas and KP lost their loved ones in "collateral damage". The hatred increased everyday. There was one sane person, who had a vision to understand the blowback and tried time and again to warn the low IQ military establishment that someone's else war will be costly for us. He warned that don't play on someone's else national interests. Be partner in peace and don't be partner in war. But nobody listened. This terrorism wasn't created out of vaccuum. We provided all the reasons for it to be created. The previous Afghan govt / NDS & RAW nexus funded and planned biggest attacks on Pakistan. Good thing happened when that pro-indian govt was thrown out by Taliban. We are again committing same mistake by alienating Afghan Taliban instead trying to make things right. We know how to hurt ourselves. We have zero strategic vision, we are on suicidal path. Remember Afghan Taliban are hardcore, vicious fighters who unlike our military leaders hate luxurious life but loves military action. They are already getting bored sitting idle, doing nothing. Don't give them every reason to join hands with TTP and make a strategic depth inside Pakistan rather opposite. We have no money, and we certainly cannot afford the longest border to become warzone. We barely have capability to look at one border that's at east where monster size enemy sits and waiting patiently to play its next move.
We should never think to make life hell for Afghanistan. That's a mindset for disaster. The only way towards peace is that we should facilitate development of Afghanistan. Peace / stability in Afghanistan means, all those afghans will move back to their country themselves, you will not need to expel them. Their should be trade, and good relations. Only trust and good relations can being peace and prosperity to Pakistan and Afghanistan. You can never live a peaceful life by making life hell for Afghanistan. A happy neighborhood is a recipe for progress. Unstable neighborhood will ALWAYS be troubling for you.
Whenever there is misery in Afghanistan, the Afghans will ALWAYS inflitrate in Pakistan. No matter of technology, and no amount of fundings can seal Pak-afghan border. It is an impossible task. Your only bet is have great relations with Afghan Taliban. Make them an asset rather than an enemy.

@Goritoes
Just read your comment. This message above is response to yours as well. How easy it is to say that ALL pashtuns are evil, Do you really have idea what you are saying ? Pashtuns are not some small minority. If you make ALL Pashtuns your enemy, there would be no Pakistan left. Maligning Pashtuns is like an attack on Pakistan's survival. I suggest becareful in propping such ideas as you are not doing any service to Pakistan but doing otherwise. Reason we have stood so far is Pashtuns have sided with us. I have seen more patriot Pashtuns then anybody from any other ethnicity. Why on earth Afghan mujahideen were our beloved people in 80s and 90s. And why on earth we had zero terrorism before 9/11. Why we had no securiy issue at all. Why we never even posted military at our western border before 9/11? What changed all that? You need to answer that and you will find that it was us the culprit not them.
Secondly, before blaming anyone from our tribal areas, you need to analyze that when a US drone lifts up from Pakistani airbase, do an airstrike at a funeral procession in North waziristan agency and kills 100s of people. What do you think the response will be ? Put yourself in their position and imagine your loved ones being killed by a drone that is being facilitated by your own military. If it'd be me, I will make my life's mission to hurt that military regime that is partnering with a foreign power and butchering our people. You used these people and you then discarded them and now conveniently putting all blame on them.
