Turning on each other?

Heh, if true it sounds marvelous. What a good job Pakistan have been doing lately rounding up these bastards. What with US and UK forces launching a huge operatiàon in Afghanistan this morning, largely possible due to Obama hiking the amount of troops there, it doesn't look good to be a Taliban affiliate right now.

The U.S. uses the Taliban to destabilize Pakistan.

Don't want to put too positive a spin on this, but perhaps the noose is beginning to tighten around the neck of these clowns. Also good to see threats of revenge being made, because in that part of the such threats are always followed up upon.

Informed. There is NO WAY that the US, or anyone in their right mind, would want a destabilized Pakistan...that way lies hell on earth.

No, you don't understand, in their diseased, warped mind, thats what the US wants. Hell on earth. I don't like Obama myself, I think what he is doing to the country is criminal, but I don't think even such a one as Obama would go along with what un- informed suggests.

Molenir, you aren't serious, are you?

As far as the Taliban go it's pretty obvious that killing civilians is well within their "rules." They are even killing their own who disagree. What a bunch of loosers.

Molenir has to be right.

Just watched Informed's link above in the interests of communication. Why does the guy say that the US gave nukes to NK and Pakistan? To encircle Russia? Huh? Dragonczar says that China gave them nukes; most Russians would say that no, it was Russia. Come on guys, you can't have it all ways...

My guess is that the US wants a strong Pakistan, hammering the Taliban, so they can concentrate on hammering the Taliban next door in Afghanistan. Why do they want a strong Afghanistan? (There's no oil in Afghanistan. Think about it.)

The US wants stable governments in the region. Islamic is fine, but reasoned, balanced, peaceful Islam, rather like the murdered Qari Zainuddin says above. "“Whatever Baitullah Mehsud and his associates are doing in the name of Islam is not a jihad, and in fact it is rioting and terrorism,” Zainuddin told AP after a mosque suicide bombing attack, blamed on Mehsud, killed 33 people. “Islam stands for peace, not for terrorism.”

Even some sections of the Taliban it seems are looking for a more acceptable human way forward... paranoia cannot be our guide.

Think of Turkey as the model. A secular government that happens to be Muslim. Thats what the US would like. Certainly not a nuclear armed Pakistan, or for that matter, India. Though I can't blame India for aquiring Nukes, what with China right next door to them. Pakistan either, since their longstanding enmity with India. Certainly wasn't the US who gave it to them though.

911 wars started in 2001, looks like now nations stretching from India to Iran and to Israel palestine ,are they getting better to focus on reality and do the correct proper effort for political and economic stability. There is no unity,just divide divide more and rule is the policy among all the military factions.

With all the present day media tech and all other present day scientific progress,world has not been able to improve economic progress in islamic people,from India to Iran to Palestine.

More chaos and low economic progress in many islamic nations,no body wants solutions for political or economic improvements.

Other nations now just need to help to spread economic stabilty to Islamic nations,which all their politics is completely ignoring. Where are all the well balanced nations in islamic nations.

More troubled islamic nations need to rode model sucessful nations like Saudi arabia,Qatar,UAE,Bahrain, Kuwait, Malaysia,Indonesia and many other nations.

Sucess in nations does not come easy,all successful nation started from poverty/chaos to become sucessful,only after years of properly focused efforts by their people.
