“Today the politicians are hoping that the ‘bad guy’ Taliban will somehow reconcile with the western-backed regime of Hamid Karzai. But the reality is that the Taliban hardliners are controlled by Pakistan, while in Afghanistan many people continue supporting the Taliban because they know they will soon be back. They have already filled a vacuum in providing justice and security in rural Afghanistan, where the government has been corrupt, incompetent or hampered by the US military strategy, which has bred insecurity and chaos. In reality, the west is using the talks to give itself a chance both to get out of Afghanistan and to claim that the state is stable.”
