    Thats what they tell to the outside world!

    there was attack on women and explosions in pakistan even before taliban was created!

    As long there is a safe haven inside Pakistan for Talibans there won't be any peace in Afghanistan.

    Even today 85% of Afghans Want International peace keepers inside Afghanistan,Even they dont agree with the way they handle the war with Taliban.

    More pressure and even military action inside pakistan is needed in order to win the war against taliban

    The US has had good results with the unmanned drones taking out the Taliban leaders.

    In order to stablize the situation, the Afganistain government needs to increase its army to 200,000 and stamp out all poppy growers and the opium trade.

    Escalating the confict will cost us more money and wear us down.
