Dear Kamran Sahib, please try to consider Taliban on two different axes. I am just talking about Afghan Taliban and certainly not these Israeli/Indian agent TTP of south waziristan and swat, TTP has no contribution in Afghan Jihad, it is armed and equipped to launch a wave of terrorism in Pakistan by our enemies, however, Afghan taliban are something different, they are not hostile to Pakistan. Anyway, in my humble opinion, USA has achieved nothing in Afghanistan. They are now talking to Mullah Omer under the arbitration of Al-Jazairi citizen Anas Malik, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. I have read somewhere that Obama is soon going to annouce his exit strategy in Afghanistan. I wonder how can you conclude this as victory of USA or defeat of Afghan Taliban. One of my friend who is working in kabul in kabul based Pakistani company, called me recently, he told me that he himself seen American troops weeping after watching the movies of their family members on their pods, he further said that he has seen Taliban in Kabul too, which means Taliban are present in kabil too.
You can disagree with Taliban for thousands of reasons but at least, in my humble opinion, they can never be alleged for working on USA's agenad. I am facing difficulty in understanding that how can you allege them for providing ground to USA for its invasion on Afghanistan? It is true that Taliban had implemented extreme version of Islam in Afghanistan but it was the need of time and they were compelled to do that. Taliban have made so many mistakes in their era and for which they are paying now and they will have to pay more in future but I am hopeful that once they kick Americans out of Afghanistan, they will certainly review their policies and they I am hopeful that the world will see a new, a relitively moderate version of Taliban - I am hopeful.
Moreover, USA had five or 6 grand strategic objectives in this part of the world. Afghanistan, if you see, is a country having border sharing with Pakistan, China, Iran and Russia. So, I call Afghanistan a "Strategic Jack Pot" for all foriegn invaders, be it Halaku Khan, Changeez Khan, Brits, Soviets or Americans. Americans want to
1) De-Nuclearize Pakistan (which they didn't achieve till now and they can never achieve Insha Allah)
2) De-Militarize Pakistan (they attempted so but they are unsuccesful till now)
3) Cutting Balochistan from Pakistan (It is also a failed attempt, it can never happen. Insha Allah)
4) Igniting an Islamic insurgency in China by arming Ughurs of East Turkistan Islamic Movement, ETIM have been neutralized by China with the help of Pakistan.
5) Igniting sectarian violance in Iran, it has also been a failed attempt.
6) Formation of Greater Middle East through their influence in Iraq and Afghanistan, they have been defeated in both countries, so there is no question of Greater Middle East. The plan of Greater Middle East is sinking in Euphrates.
7) Controlling centeral asian trade routes, they are unsuccesfull here too.
So, based on these analysis I can conclude that America has achieved nothing in Afghanistan.
