CLEARLY THE AFGHAN WAR IS CONSIDERED A "GAME" BY MANY PEOPLE IN THE MILITARY...
THEY AREN'T TAKING IT SERIOUSLY... THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO "WIN" THIS WAR....
PRESENTLY...THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN IS MERELY RADICALIZING PAKISTAN...A NATION WITH AN ATOMIC BOMB...
THERE SEEMS TO BE LITTLE APPRECIATION OF THE DILEMMA THAT PAKISTAN IS IN WITH ITS DIVERSE POPULATION...INCLUDING MANY AFGHAN PASHTUNS...IN THE WESTERN HALF OF PAKISTAN...
FEW PEOPLE REALIZE THAT EVEN THE NAME "P.A.K.-ISTAN"...IS A RECENTLY MADE UP WORD...WITH THE "P" STANDING FOR "PUNJABI"...THE "A" FOR AFGHANI...AND THE "K" FOR "KASHMERI".... THERE ARE MANY AFGHANS LIVING IN PAKISTAN IN THE SO CALLED NORTHERN TERRITORIES...
SO IF YOU MAKE WAR ON AFGHANISTAN...YOU BY IMPLICATION MAKE WAR ON PAKISTAN...
AND ANY WAR ON PAKISTAN WOULD LIKELY CAUSE THE ENTIRE SITUATION TO UNWIND IN A VERY BAD RESULT...
IN TRUTH...THE AMERICANS SHOULD HAVE SIMPLY GONE AFTER OSAMA AND THE JIHADI...AND LEFT THE TALIBAN...WHO ARE REALLY A PAKISTANI GROUP OF AFGHANS....OUT OF IT...
OSAMA IS GONE...OBAMA NEEDS TO DECLARE VICTORY AND STOP THE WAR AGAINST THE PASHTUNS ASAP...
POSTSCRIPT: IT MAY BE TIME TO REMEMBER THE HISTORY OF THE BREAK UP OF THE BRITISH RAJ IN INDIA IN 1947 TO GET A HANDLE ON HOW WE GOT TO THIS POSITION... "PAKISTAN" IS REALLY A VERY MODERN "LEGAL FICTION"...INDIA AND AFGHANISTAN ARE "REAL" HISTORIC STATES IN THE REGION...PAKISTAN IS NOT!
