There maybe merits in the various posts so far, but my post is independent of them.
When the ISAF withdraws and let us say there is a Afghan Taliban govt (one can debate if it would be any better than the previous experience), would it not be also problematic for Pakistan?
As I read in another thread, the Taliban is creating mayhem in Pakistan. If that is correct, then they would have tasted blood. Would they quietly fade away or will they made a bid to take over power in Pakistan in equal measures as they would have done, if a Taliban govt is installed in Afghanistan?
Given the sentiments riding high in Pakistan (as was displayed after the assassination of the Governor of Punjab), it does indicate that the fundamentalists do have a major say.
In such an eventuality, even if the Afghan Taliban govt remains a proxy for the Pakistan Taliban/ fundamentalist govt, then both would prove a major problem for all.
Or would it not?
