		<description>The Americans want to stay in Afghanistan for their ulterior motives of controling natural resources there and having a permanent base.Its them who encourage the pak. govt.to go ahead with such peace agreement and simultaneously criticising it to ultimately fight this war alongwith won over talibans inside pakistani territory with a view to smashing pak economy and dividing pakistan further.In fact pakistan and U.S.A. are hand in glove not to finish this war. i am pretty sure if pak-american forces can overpower a handfull of Talibas (only in thousands)in one month only ,what to say of 8 years. </description>

		<description>The agreement negotiated did not directly involve the Taliban. The fate of Mr.Parvez Musharraf &#8216;s peace agreements with the Taliban in  2006 is now well known. There is little reason to believe that peace agreement will have a different outcome. It will give the Taliban time to recoup losses until they are ready to fight again. 
But the news that taliban opposed to schooling of children  reveals a sample of possible fate of  common people if Taliban is allowed to rule.  
The fact of matter is that, so far as the people within the region of their rule are concerned, Taliban will persuade and bent people to their own norms . For the rest of the world, they will fight in the name of Islam and any attack over them will, as usual, be declared as attack on common people and Islam inviting human rightists and others through propaganda. 
This way they will have double edge sword to attack others and double shield to protect them selves. Control over nuclear arsenals will be an added advantage. </description>

		<description>A few weeks back a headline came in the Times of India,&quot;Girls to marry militants, orders Taliban,&quot; see 2 Jan 2009, 1524 hrs IST, PTI, it was really unsurprising since Taliban&#039;s social dictum were exposed during their rules in Afghanistan.The news opened with,&#8221; On the heels of their crusade against girls going to schools, the Taliban have now issued new dictum in the areas under their sway asking parents of the grown up daughters to marry them to militants or &quot;face dire consequences&quot;. My reference to this news here is to show the social entanglement of Taliban in the region in question. 
Secondly, Taliban&#8217;s dominance there and its rule like a quasi-state with al-Qaeda elements have prepared a safe haven for terrorists in the territory.  
Thirdly, the move by Taliban towards Karachi and to Islamabad is a serious concern as explicitly expressed  by the top leadership of Pakistan and Sindh gave  clear signals yesterday. It was precisely the way that the Taliban&#039;s took over Afghanistan some fifteen years back. 
Lastly, threats have been made against India and there are indications of an eastward expansion by the Taliban into Islamabad. If the Taliban gains access to Pakistan&#8217;s nuclear assets, one can imagine the shape  the world might have.
