Taliban integration process basically flawed

The impending US military surge in Afghanistan that is currently planned to launch a major operation in the crucial province of Kandahar, considered to be the Taliban power- house and home city of Taliban Supremo Mullah Omar, already appears doomed to failure even before it is launched.While the surge is extremely short on time-frame ending mid-2011 in a long drawn war on terror,the process of stitching and transforming the society is actually taking place in a rather strange and peculiar manner.There is a greater stress on tactfully arranging an assemblage of groups by generating splits and defections among the insurgents rather than creating a fundamental change in the society against Taliban ideology.Thus sooner the US forces exit Afghanistan,the situation will again lurch towards extremism and terrorism. Sensing an early US exit from Afghanistan without having achieved their aims of war on terror, the insurgents are themselves in the midst of a process of split and switching sides with an eye on finding a place in government administration.A virtual war has broken out between the insurgents aligned to Hezb-I- Islami and the Taliban cadres in Baghlan province in northern Afghanistan and a hundred or so Hezb-I-Islami fighters are ready to defect to government side.Thus the switching of loyalty does not involve any change of hearts. Even in the past Hekmatyar had offered to lay down weapons on an unacceptable demand that a “neutral” government be installed in Kabul and presently he may be hedging his bets. One faction of Hezb-I- Islami has already won seats in Afghan Parliament .Needless to mention that a number of warlords have actually carved out drug-routes in-between themselves and the Talibans and their integration would rather aggravate the problem of trafficking in drugs contrary to the arms of US-led war.Even more surprising ,Pakistan is being given a role in the process of integrating Taliban,though Pakistan itself under Zia-ul-Haq was instrumental in driving Mujhahideens towards fundamental terrorism and later fostering Talibans in his quest for “strategic Depth” that ultimately led to Al-Qaeda acquiring sanctuary in that country and 9/11 terrorist attacks in America.In a strange and peculiar manner the normalization in Afghanistan and its akin FATA (tribal area) in Pakistan is being built along similar scary lines.Even Pakistan army known for harboring roguish elements and political ambitions that often found way in seizing power in Pakistan has offered to train Afghan forces where as Afghan forces need to be trained as a strict professional force and under personnel with proficiency in effectively controlling the trafficking in drugs away from the cancer of corruption. Thus even before US and NATO forces,duly reinforced with additional 30,000 US troops and some thousand extra NATO troops and some extra NATO troops start the operation n Kandahar there is an urgent need to rectify the flawed integration process Taliban need to be suitably degraded so that there is no re-emergence of previously seen ghastly environments. In the context of these short comings in US approach,it is natural for countries in this region particularly Iran,Russia ,India and China to come forward for sharing common strategic concerns so that stability and development in Afghanistan is properly ensured.
