Afghanistan: America's Options
by Dinkar Koppikar on Aug 20, 2006 07:53 PM   Permalink

You must understand that America nurtured Al Quaeda and Taliban and other Islamic fundamentalist terrorists in eighties to overthrow secular Afghanistan dominated by Soviet Union. After it succeeded, it hoped to use terrorists to subvert India in nineties and penetrate Central Asia in the wake of the fall of Siviet Union. But these terrorists tuned against America instead. Even after 9/11 America hopes to use these terrorists against India and Central Asia and use Pakistan to prevent terrorist mischief against United States andGreat Britain. But such foolish strategy is bound to fail. Today more than ever before American foreign policy is driven by Oil companies which expect to use terrorists in their drive for monopolising world energy markets.
