The US & others working with Pakistan

[Ray]

There are too many interests working in Afghanistan.

1. Pakistan wants 'strategic depth' (technically a wrong term since 'strategic depth' does not qualify for Afghanistan).

2. India does not want Pakistan in Afghanistan. It will block her (India's) access to CAR through Chahbahar.

3. Russia wants to keep the Islamic influence as far as possible.

4. The CAR does not want the Islamists since they are still in the mould of the Soviet mindset and the leaders are worried that they will get overthrown by the Born again Islamic wave.

5. China is interested in the natural resources as also to be close to the Islamic fundamentalist homeland so as to neutralise the same before it reaches Xinjiang. The Global Times of China has reported that there has been Islamic forays into Xinjiang.

6. Iran is interested to ensure that Shias are not swamped as also to prevent drugs coming into Iran and funding the secessionists in Iranian Baluch areas.

Therefore, it is a holy mess.

No infidel is going to leave in a hurry.

And the US while playing it cool is also at the game, if this 'explosive' article is anything to go by.

The US action is copybook of taking the game into the adversary's territory and hurting his interests hard.

So, no one is leaving.

Each will work on till their own agendas are fulfilled!
