The recent claim by Pakistan to have arrested the spokesman of the Taliban on the Pakistani soil and describe the incident as a big catch seems to a phoney one, The incident spoke volume about Pakistani’s complex relationship with the Taliban. The Washington Post says: “it underscores the conflict between the government’s generally pro-American foreign policy and its reluctance to severe all ties with the Taliban, which it supported until 2001.”
In fact, Pakistan propped up the Taliban at the instance of the US to contain the USSR’s influence in Afghanistan.

Its the Region which called Taliban ‘cobblers and barbers or beggers and gave them no respect untill they wee exposed as riding on Democratic Party of USAs Finger.
Who is endangered is the question.why do such sofisticated element want to involve themselves without the vision of the whole place. Afganistan was used up trying to sort between USA USSR while the society living below was sleeping untill the interest was rerunning and they joined in local politics to act as power brokers and went so far that it is shamefull for a partner country itself .
As Moscow closed case for USSR it did not close the possibility of Returning to Communism infact as we read Democratisation and Globalisation where/who do you credit Capitalist West or Communist EAST.
It was the cause of Intrinsic Communist Security as will the Big Wolf walk the little Red Riding Hood home or will he ask for a Lazziaz Faire for his International Carpet Baggers .
The former USSR allys in Pakistan should nbot be of concern to USA because back during Gen Zias days USA had composed itself with them and their London Press and Plans.
