    Live Conflict War in Afghanistan

    First time I've seen a Pak General talk strategy. Usually it's all tactics and bluster. This guy seems to have a more holistic view and is pragmatic and brutally honest. How come he didn't become Army Chief?

    Live Conflict War in Afghanistan

    Why just Asia - borders are pretty arbitrary all over the world. There will always be some cultural overlap between border areas - NY/Ontario, Alsace & Lorraine and German-speaking Northern Italy come to mind. Point here is not the borders drawn but the ACCEPTANCE of the borders in question...

    Live Conflict War in Afghanistan

    And however spirited the debate and the bad blood, let's stick to the topic at hand - Afghanistan. There are enough Indo -Pak threads where these debates can take place.

    Live Conflict War in Afghanistan

    Ad hominen attacks are against forum rules. Stick to the topic. And of course India shares a border with Afghanistan - it's just currently illegally occupied by Pakistan and is known as PoK.

    Americans have always ordered the Pakistanis around. And Pakistan meekly complies. This won't be different.

    Live Conflict War in Afghanistan

    I think there are too many possibilities to predict what will happen. All these analyses are based on the Taliban being one entity. I doubt it. There must be fissures based on tribes and regions even within the Taliban. They aren't even very good fighters considered over the last couple hundred...

    Live Conflict War in Afghanistan

    Reminds me of the story from Charlie Wilson's War There lived an old farmer who had worked in his fields for many, many years. One day, his horse bolted away. His neighbors dropped in to commiserate with him. “What awful luck,” they tut-tutted sympathetically, to which the farmer only replied...

    Another big budget blockbuster Korean war moive about to release, tribute to Korean War heroes of the Chinese army

    Lol. That's as absurd as the Germans celebrating the Dunkirk evacuation as a German victory and then making a movie on it.

    Please don't justify such cowardly behavior

    Taliban fighters execute 22 Afghan commandos as they try to surrender

    Nah - I don't expect them to behave like Mother Teresa. Two wrongs don't make a right - I doubt anyone sane would justify what Dostum's men did. Or indeed the treatment meted out in Abu Gharib or in Guantanamo Bay. But that's not an excuse to justify this massacre either. Lol @ Hindukush name.
