The Lessons From Afghanistan

You said it right sir, and as elders , with a vast experience, good and bad, we realize this..! Young blood is focused on power, success, supremacy etc. It is a beautiful mix and this is how the whole drama unfolds and goes on till.......you can guess.

 

Well said and timely andapt.
This would be constantly happening all over.

2. Semblance of Quietness in other Nations too vanish at some point of time in future and only difference could be that future battles & wars would be not using conventional weapons. It is biological warfare.
3. Horses & elephants were used some hundred years ago and then modern weapons that includes FATMAN & little Boy atomic bombs.
4. No country believes another country in so far arms race is concerned. All nations almost stock up weapons in their arsenal that includes Pakistan.
5. Though Saigon taught yet USA was in Afghanistan. Have they learnt any lessons? After Four presidents & twenty years spent some $20 trillion the end result of their presence in Afghanistan is a huge disaster.
6. Even now I am not sure that USA in future would cease interfering in internal matters of other Nations.
7. Though the world has A UNO yet one realise how impotent it is TODAY in Afghanistan. Even red cross could not enter and extend help to affected Afghans.

World was a quiet place when it was created. From old Stone Age till today there is some kind of war going on. It is tumultuous ocean on land!

 

I agree with what you said. We just can't find what is enough for us.

 

As of this month, India is the Chairman of the UN Security Council and they are agreeing to pass a resolution removing the word "Terrorists" before the word "Taliban". This means all NATO countries are willing to negotiate with Talibans as they are only aim now is to get their citizens safely out of this country. By allowing Talibans to rule Afghanistan, all NATO countries are agreeing to take the risk of defending against terrorism in their respective homeland and are willingly agree for human rights violation inside Afghanistan. Some countries in the world are not meant to be democractic. Khorasan is the aim of the terrorists in that region which will include Afghanistan, a portion of Pakistan, part of India, and it expands up to Africa and former Soviet Union territories.

As you rightly pointed out, only reason why the US went to war with Afghanistan is the terrorist attack in the US soil on 9/11/2001. There was an unnecessary war with Iraq after this. Trillions of dollars spent on these wars would have contributed so much of growth and development for the US if the US had not gone to war. The results obtained through this war could have been easily achieved through the intelligence operations alone. Lessons are always learned only after actions.

There is a saying, "One person's liberators are another person's terrorists". LTTE was a terrorist organization for Sri Lanka and it was a liberating organization for India until there was a terrorist attack on the former PM of India. Pakistan is an ally of the US in the war against terrorism in Afghanistan whereas they harbor terrorists in PoK as far as India is concerned. Foreign affairs is a complex subject.
