One thing that would do more to end the war than anything else – seal the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Of course this is easier said than done.
Insurgent recruiting is increasing in parts of the east of Afghanistan, with most new recruits coming from the Arabs, Pakistanis, Chechens and Tajiks.
The Pakistan military were battling Pakistani Taliban insurgents, mostly from Pakistan’s Bajaur
and Mohmand tribal areas on the frontier. Unfortunately, the major flooding in central Pakistan has interrupted this campaign.
It has announced by NATO that the Taliban were helping Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) members slip into
Afghanistan through the eastern province of Nangarhar. LeT is infamous for their attack on Mumbai, India.
Until they slow infiltration of new recruits and supplies for the Afghan Taliban, there will be no successful conclusion to the war in Afghanistan.
