Pakistan should build a wall along entire Afg-Pak because far and not allow anyone from Afghanistan into Pakistan. Pakistani public suffered so much from these afghans. I’m glad no more terror attacks happen in Pakistan.

Foreign backed government did not work for the Soviets. It will not work for the Americans either.

Whatever you do, don't come to Pakistan. We have been hospitable for too long and ended up suffering your chaotic nation's problems.

Mockery of the 19-years long and still continuous U.S. training and arms supply of the so-called Afghan army, at the cost of trillions of U.S. tax-payer dollars.
