[Excerpt from essay by Michael Kugelman, Senior Fellow for South Asia at the Atlantic Council.]
With the Taliban rejecting Pakistani demands to rein in the TTP, and with Pakistan committed to rooting out the terrorist group, this conflict looks likely to intensify. It has also proved resistant to outside mediation efforts. If Afghanistan and Pakistan truly do come to blows, the fighting could not just destabilize the two countries; it could spur militant attacks against Americans and American interests in South Asia, cause chaos in the wider region, and even trigger further conflict between India and Pakistan.

Oh boy! first I don’t think it was necessary to drag India into this mud.
Second,it is well documented that ttp is a direct result of the militant factions that were created by Pakistan to use in Afghanistan to begin with, Now they came back to bite Pakistan and they are blaming Afghanistan and ‘external’ forces for it??

I would think that „Taliban“ is not a one thing. That different people. Some of those idiots who only know how to fight and some understand that they now have a country to feed. Clearly they can not fight Pakistan and can be just wiped out.
