NATO and The USA should implement a Proxy War strategy against the Taliban with a long term goal of the elimination of Pakistan.

The US and NATO should arm the Tajik tribes and Northern Alliance Tribes of Northern Afghanistan and turn them against the Pashtun tribes of southern Afghanistan. Provide them with air support, logistic support and Special Operations team support.

Withdraw NATO and US Ground Forces to the cities and bases to build up the Afghan Economy and Afghan military and fight the war against the Taliban by proxy, using the Northern alliance and Tajik tribes to wipe out the Taliban's Pashtun Tribal support base in Afghanistan. Nothing better than having ancient enemies in Afghanistan slaughter each other. After a few years of this type of campaign most of what is left of the Pashtun Population would have fled to Iran and Pakistan. Next, fortify the entire Afghan/Pakistani Border Region.

Than concentrate NATO, US, Tajik and Northern Alliance Forces along the Afghan/Pakistani Border and kill anything that tries to cross into Afghanistan. Than, if Pakistan still has not destroyed the Taliban and al Qaeda work to isolate Pakistan with the elimination of all economic and military aid, followed by economic sanctions and a naval blockade to slowly starve and weaken Pakistan.

When Pakistan implodes into civil war, use this as a precept for a three prong in invasion of Pakistan. An Indian Army of a million troops invades Pakistan from the East and Southeast, the US Fifth Fleet conducts an amphibious assault on the Pakistani coast and occupies Karachi, the US Air Force supports Army Rangers, Army Airborne Assault Forces to seize Pakistani Nuclear Weapons, Tajik and Northern Alliance Tribes supported by NATO and US Army ground forces seize and block all roads and passes leading into Afghanistan. When Pakistan is occupied, isolate the Baluchistan Region and use the Northern Alliance tribes and the Tajik Tribes to exterminate the remaining Taliban and Al Qaeda.

Finally, implement a 20 year "Marshal Plan" for the economic development of Afghanistan and Pakistan, give Kashmir to India and unite Afghanistan and Pakistan into one country and dissolve the British Commonwealth System in Pakistan.
