I understand what you mean by them having little control on independent actors which is essentially most of the border regions and territories.That is the key issue here. IEA cannot hold its country together. If we attack, then IEA would like to side with TTP and others.
You have to acknowledge that Islo writ is weak in Balochistan and KPK due to territory. Recently, some riff raff attacked Iranian posts from our or Afghan side. Now, Iran should realise our limitations, and we won't tolerate Iran's direct involvement. So, even if we are attacking/bombing, IEA must have leverage (power + money) so that the Afghans can be persuaded.
You have to understand AFG geography. Kabul cannot control far-flung areas like Herat, Khandhar etc. Each city has it's own unique Sardar, culture and effective Militia.
But my emphasis is that their mindset is not any different, the only reason they are relatively calm at the moment is because they are trying to gain international recognition and support.
But after a little stability they will begin the same policies as the previous regimes, all of them are hellbent on this idea as it's reflective of their entire populace's psychee.
Would you rather fight a weak enemy or strong(er) enemy?
