Ahmed Rashid talks about the re- emergence of Taliban and how they are now contesting the US- led coalition
By Manoj Joshi
Those who expect a great deal from the “ American- trained” General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani have forgotten that he was the head of the ISI in the period when Pakistan descended into chaos — the year 2007 that saw the Lal Masjid episode, the sacking of the Chief Justice of the Pakistan Supreme Court, the declaration of Emergency by a ruler who was already a military dictator, the collapse of Pakistani authority in large chunks of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. Pulling the country out of that mess is not going to be easy.
