The chilling news of surrendering to Taliban by Pakistani Government (if it can be called one) in parts of the country where Sharia law will apply is devastating for the world in general and India in particular.
Rhetoric should be replaced by reality now that the double crossing Pakistani game started by Musharraf under which the Bush administration continued to be bluffed is out in the open.
The reality is worse and more dangerous than the situation in Afghanistan and Iraq put together. Pakistan is a nuclear capable 'failed' state. The trigger will soon pass on to Osama - Pakistan's guest of honour while the world searched caves else where?
It is more than obvious that the war on terror after 9/11 has miserably failed because the Taliban has proved itself to be more intelligent in biding its time and resources behind the veil of deceit provided to them by the Pakistani administration which kept fooling the world by mock support of the war on terror. The Taliban is a much stronger outfit today than it was when the war commenced thanks to the billions of dollars that USA routed to them via Pakistan.
The international community should respond to the wake up call given in Pakistan by the TALIBAN and strategise to control this menace urgently. The threat cannot be viewed as distant and in isolation any more because it is on the doorstep of all nations who cherish freedom from fear and believe in protecting dignity of life.
India's allegations and fears stand starkly validated after more than 60 years of shouting and complaining in vain. The Mumbai carnage was Taliban's first notice declaring their growing power and intent to the world.
Pakistan is and has been a disaster of history from the day it became a reality by political default and will haunt the rest of the world worse than it has India.
