This week Zalmay Khalilzad, US special representative to Afghanistan, visited Islamabad to discuss possible peace talks with the Taliban.
The trip comes on the heels of a request by President Donald Trump for Pakistani assistance in dealing with the militant movement, which the US-backed government in Kabul has been unsuccessfully fighting against for 17 years.
Previously, Trump made a number of statements which were hostile towards the Pakistani government, accusing it of doing nothing to help the US and threatening to cut military aid to Pakistan. Washington had to change its tune because it needs Pakistan's assistance, Shireen Mazari, who serves as the federal minister for human rights in the cabinet of Prime Minister Imran Khan, told RT.
"The fact is that this 'do more, do more' mantra does not work anymore. This has changed their approach to Pakistan. I think this change was necessitated by the new government that has come into power, because our government is not going to take dictation from the US."

...We don't need them. We need to abandon the "war on terror", get out of Afghanistan, and let someone else prop up the Pakis, or allow them to collapse under their own weight, take out their nukes, and let them revert back to the stone aged mentality that they desire in the first place.
Why put clothes on monkees, when they just want to swing in the trees, and throw feces? Someone else needs to pay for their Pampers. And I'm not cleaning that shit up!
