5 Years ago, Bush made the famous statement, "You are either with us or against us".
Pakistan made the brave decision to join the US as an ally in the "War on Terror". It was a much safer world then. Taliban was still ruling in Kabul. Saddam Hussein was still in his Palace in Baghdad. India was still playing Cricket in Pakistan. Kashmir was still a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan. Pakistanis still had their freedom under Musharraf. Muslim girls in Pakistan could still go to school. It was a much safer world then. Alas....
America's mishandling of the War in Afghanistan has made South Asia one of the most vulnerable regions in the world. Let us not even discuss Iraq now. American troops in Afghanistan have pushed Taliban across the border to Pakistan. Now, their ally in the War on Terror has itself become the epicenter of terrorism. Taliban have captured the SWAT valley in Pakistan and have established a pseudo government there. Taliban have assassinated Benazir Bhuttu. The local terrorist organizations in Pakistan like Lashkar, hizbul etc, which were sponsored by the pakistani government to attack kashmir and India, had a free run in Pakistan and established terrorist training camps across the country.
After attacking Mumbai, Taliban have started to infiltrate into Kashmir. This is turning out to be the most dangerous situation in the entire War on Terror. Once Pakistan becomes a failed state and is taken over by the Taliban, the biggest question in everyone's mind would be "who is in control of the Nuclear weapons in Pakistan?". Oh my God. Oh my fucking God. Do you guys realise the ramifications of Taliban controlling the nuclear weapons???. This will force India to get directly involved. This situation is turning out to be quite scary. Another major terrorist attack in India in the next few months cannot be ruled out.
Now, who the Fuck came up with this concept of a bad taliban and a good taliban. Just smoke them out.
Obama is trying to clear the mess that Bush created. Thats not easy. US must realise that it's troops are incapable of handling guerilla attacks. Remember Vietnam. Whenever there is a defined enemy like Germany in WW II, US is efficient. But when it comes to unknown terrorists hiding in caves, US is incapable of claiming a decisive victory.
So, what is gonna happen now. These are my predictions.
Pakistan will become a failed state.
Taliban will take over Pakistan.
War will move to Kashmir which will force India to get involved.
Uncertainty over where the nuclear weapons are and who is in control of it.
Obama will fail in his Foreign Policy.
One more major terrorist attack in India.
