The story is well known that Shiva the Hindu god is easy to please with penance. Once he granted a boon to a demon that whomsoever he touches on the head will burn. The demon wanted to try his boon on Shiva himself.
In order to escape from him, he (Shiva) went to a fellow god Vishnu a street smart god who tricked the demon in to touching his own head with fatal consequences.
Similar is the case with Taliban. First nurtured by CIA & then by ISI they are no longer obedient to their masters & have turned against them.
The genie once out of the bottle is difficult, almost impossible to put back. While I am sure that ultimately they will be defeated or will be contained it is going to take a heavy toll.
Let us see how the events unfold. I am keeping my fingers crossed. In fact every person is a combination of good & bad. By wisdom we keep the negativity under check.
Once the mind goes berserk say under the influence of alcohol or drugs it become difficult to check the negative aspects & all hell breaks loose.
Similar is the case of Taliban who are brain washed from childhood & are the most deadly virus on the surface of this earth.
I am sure like LTTE they will also bite dust in due course.

how far the current offensive taken reluctantly under us pressure will be sustained only time will tell
what is the real agenda beyond af pak strtegy is not known
where kashmir fits in is also not known
as we are busy with election to be followed by intensive horse trading the trouble in our back yard is ominous indeed
i do hope that while we are sleeping the state is awake & our future generations will not be thrown to wolves
i personally feel that there are pockets of taliban every where in india
once they become aggressive there will be a counter talibanism the kind seen in banglore, orissa & remote parts of karnataka in the name of hindutva
will that lead to civil war is known to future only
i do hope that i am unnecessarily getting paranoid
but i am desperately seeking an escape route so that my family does not have to go through horrors of partition
call me a coward if you like but this is what i feel
