lol i can't figure where to start replying to this post it is so wrong in so many places.
what did pakistan do when there was a shariah govt in afghanistan? did it help them in building industry or did it stand in the way because of its own vested interests? just because pakistan gave refuge to the afghans doesnt absolve the pakistan govt over the years for their part in destruction of afghanistan.

and 'wonderful new democratic afghanistan under karzai'?
are you serious?

this is im sorry a very very naive post and shows lack of knowledge about af-pak politics.

Wonderful new democratic government

I guess you don't do sarcasm brother?

No they did not help build industry. They hardly have any industry of their own - what on earth are they supposed to offer? Anyway, they spent too much time trying to influence and effect the Taliban into power - which actually was a stabilising force. The Taliban could have made change if they were given more time. I believe the Taliban wanted to create opportunities and education for woman but only after they had secured the state and the war with Northern Alliance was over. They wiped out opium trade in areas held under them - this is universally accepted, clearly they had objectives. This was all done with the help and support from Pakistan. Unfortanately, Afghans just happened to be at the thick end of US agression shortly after. Your right, politics and the blunt 'with us or against us' attitude from the US made Pakistan leaders tow the US line. Every other nation at the time would have done the same.

It is not Pakistan's sole responsibility when the US and Karzai administration - voted into power by Afghans - are in control. What have the US done in the last 11-12 years? Built industry? 11-12 years is quite a bit of time to get things done.

The only industry they have built back-up is opium trade. Karzai's half-brother was believed to be involved with this. What hope is there when the people vote guys like that into power.

Allahu A'lam
