Wages Of Trilateralism: A Joint Af-Pak Border Force At Last

I doubt it, as the Kabul regime of Kharzai is playing it too close to the Indians for the Pakistan military to feel comfortable in coalition and coordination of tribes and forces. The tribes are under constant attack by Taliban and can't defend themselves. Yet they remain passive while Taliban operatives disolve within them. The ISI intel guys who are supposed to ferret them out are hiding them for use in the post-US era. We destroyed the Afghan-Pakistan border in 1979 when we sought to use Pakistan as a launching pad for an assault on Soviets. Now the border means nothing to Pashtuns. We must get out and let the Shanghai Accord deal with it in its own way. It is a weird security accord of nations that want to cut off eachother's left toe but want to protect eachother's right toe as mutual security. We are not up to such sophisticated dialectic diplomacy and so must leave, leaving it to them to resolve. Don'r worry, China won't let Pakistan collapse, Russia won't let India and Iran collapse and the Central Asian States are managable by Russian and China. So let's get out and let them deal with this problem. It's not worth it for our control of Central Asian oil. We can focus on our own secuirty. It wasn't failed Afghan state that led to 9/11 but the violation by the airlines of rule made during 1970s spade of skyjackings to make pilot's cabin impenetrable. Seeing that the pilot cabin door is always open from their First Class seats on repeated coat-to-coast flights, the Shahids notified alQaeda and the rest is history.
