From the article: War Over Waziristan
Pakistan claims to be on the American side in the war against the Taliban. But Can Pakistan really be trusted to take the fight to the fighting force it created in the 1990s? The Taliban is a creation of the Pakistani military and intelligence services. It's a proxy army Pakistan created in the 1990s to do its bidding in Afghanistan and Kashmir. Mush of the Taliban leadership is tight with members of the Pakistani military and secret service. And the Pakistani military mistrusts any conditional alliance with the United States. So really: who's fighting whom, and can the United States trust its alleged Pakistani ally? Share Your Thoughts

Talibanisation in Pakistan

The Taliban is the creation of America. America created talibanisation for the war in between Iran and Iraq. Now America wants to finish this chapter. Just due to this play of America thousands of innocent people lost their precious lives. Pakistan is doing its best against the talibanization with the Pakistani army performing its operations in affected areas of Pakistan. Pakistan at any stage is playing a positive role for peace in the World. Pakistan is trustworthy.
